Текст песни Who Do You Believe In (2Pac) с переводом

Let us pray, Heavenly Father

Hear a nigga down here

Before I go to sleep

Tell me, who do you believe in?..

Who do you believe in?..

I see mothers in black, cryin', brothers in packs dyin'

Plus everybody’s high, too doped up to ask why

Watchin' our own downfall, witness the end

It’s like we don’t believe in God ‘cause we livin' in sin

I asked my homie on the block why he strapped

He laughed, pointed his pistol as the cop car passed, and blast

It’s just another murder, nobody mourns no more

My tear drops gettin' bigger

But can’t figure what I’m cryin' for

Is it the miniature caskets, little babies?

Victims of a stray, from drug dealers gone crazy?

Maybe it’s just the drugs, visions of how the block was

Crack came and it was strange how it rocked us

Perhaps the underlyin' fact, stay high, explain genocide

It’s when we ride on our own kind

What is it we all fear?, reflections in the mirror

We can’t escape fate, the end is gettin' nearer

Who do you believe in?

I put my faith in God

Blessed and still breathin'

And even though it’s hard

That’s who I believe in

Before I’m leavin', I’m askin' the grievin'

Who do you believe in?

Who do you believe in?

I put my faith in God

Blessed and still breathin'

And even though it’s hard

That’s who I believe in

Before I’m leavin', I’m askin' the grievin'

Who do you believe in?

Can’t close my eyes, ‘cause all I see is terror

I hate the man in the mirror

‘Cause his reflection makes the pain turn realer

Times of Armageddon, murder in mass amounts

In this society where only gettin' the cash counts

I started out as a beginner

Entered the criminal lifestyle, became a sinner

I make my money, and vacate, evade prison

Went from the chosen one to an outcast, unforgivin'

And all the Hennessy and weed can’t hide the pain I feel inside

You know, it’s like I’m livin' just to die

I fall on my knees and beg for mercy

Not knowin' if I’m worthy

Livin' life thinkin' no man can hurt me

So I’m askin', before I lay me down to sleep

Before you judge me

Look at all the shit you did to me; my misery

I rose up from the slums, made it out the flames

In my search for fame, will I change?

I’m askin'…

Who do you believe in?

I put my faith in God

Blessed and still breathin'

And even though it’s hard

That’s who I believe in

Before I’m leavin', I’m askin' the grievin'

Who do you believe in?

Who do you believe in?

I put my faith in God

Blessed and still breathin'

And even though it’s hard

That’s who I believe in

Before I’m leavin', I’m askin' the grievin'

Who do you believe in?

Faith in Allah, believe in me and this plastic

‘Cause so far I done witnessed too many dead niggas in caskets

With they chest plates stretched, like elastic

And what’s worse I’m on front line

Holdin' down camp, still mashin'

Heard my cousin, one of the old heads from the block

Just came home October of '95, back in Yardsville stuck

With a three to five, if he don’t act up

Now he realize, if you don’t stay wise

Then in this game you fucked

Talk to my baby girl, give me the word on what she heard

One of the grimies is snitchin', dimin', a stool pigeon

I talked to him; he said he didn’t, my man said he did

In fact he’s sure, ‘cause he just came home off of bid

Now tell me, who do you believe in?

I put my faith in God

Blessed and still breathin'

And even though it’s hard

That’s who I believe in

Before I’m leavin', I’m askin' the grievin'

Who do you believe in?

Who do you believe in?

I put my faith in God

Blessed and still breathin'

And even though it’s hard

That’s who I believe in

Before I’m leavin', I’m askin' the grievin'

Who do you believe in?

Who do you believe in?

I put my faith in God

Blessed and still breathin'

And even though it’s hard

That’s who I believe in

Before I’m leavin', I’m askin' the grievin'

Who do you believe in?

Who do you believe in?

I put my faith in God

Blessed and still breathin'

And even though it’s hard

That’s who I believe in

Before I’m leavin', I’m askin' the grievin'

Who do you believe in?

Who do you believe in?

I put my faith in God

Blessed and still breathin'

And even though it’s hard

That’s who I believe in

Before I’m leavin', I’m askin' the grievin'

Who do you believe in?

Who do you believe in?

I put my faith in God

Blessed and still breathin'

And even though it’s hard

That’s who I believe in

Before I’m leavin', I’m askin' the grievin'

Who do you believe in?

Who do you believe in?

Is it Buddah, Jehovah, or Jah? Or Allah?

Is it Jesus? Is it God? Or is it just yourself?

Definitely not to be imposed, being a demon

Because this is the joy of believin'

Man, to believe in yourselves

But for sure, the higher power

Resides only to ride in the heart of the true

From the soul, of the man; for truth never has an alibi

In the poetry, or in it’s realm

That’s what pulls all words together

Just to understand that every man is his own man

And only man can satisfy the man

Only the soul of the man, the feelings of the man

The for realness of the man

You can’t shake the man when you give the man

You know the man

And you gotta call yourself, because you are that man

Who do you believe in?

I put my faith in God

Blessed and still breathin'

(blessed and still breathin)

(even though it’s hard)

Who do you believe in?

Who do you believe in?

I put my faith in God

(before I’m leavin')

Even though it’s hard

(I'm askin' the grievin')

Before I’m leavin', I’m askin' the grievin'

Who do you believe in?

Who do you believe in?

Blessed and still breathin'

Before I’m leavin', I’m askin' the grievin'

Who do you believe in?

Who do you believe in?

I put my faith in God

Blessed and still breathin'

Even though it’s hard, that’s who I believe in

Before I’m leavin', I’m askin' the grievin'

Who do you believe in?

Who do you believe in?

Put my faith in God

That’s who I believe in

Before I’m leavin', I’m askin' the grievin'

Who do you believe in?

Who do you believe in?

Blessed and still breathin'

That’s who I believe in

Before I’m leavin', I’m askin' the grievin'

Who do you believe in?

Who do you believe in?
