Lyrics:
[Intro: 2Pac]
(Where do we go from here)
Tell me what the fuck am I supposed to do
Now what’s next (tell me)
(Where do we go from here)
Tell me what the fuck am I supposed to do
(Ohhh yeahh)
[2Pac]
Caught up in the middle
My life’s a riddle
Don’t let it get cha
I wanna be legal, but it’s this hustle that gets me richer
One love to my peoples makin’ money
I can see you bubblin
Avoid all trouble, beware of devils
Continue strugglin’
Nothings impossible
If there’s a will there’s a way
So get your mind on official business you can be paid
And it’s been this way from the cradle to the grave to get paid
My niggas do this every fuckin’ day we parlay
Through politics and conversations
This information to my thug niggas in the congregation
Watch and bear witness
To the pleasures of participation
Separation is self-destruction what’s needed is unification
Cause the world ain’t hardly scared
If not prepared we sure to be buried and be no longer there
But no one cares, it’s there to share
All we get is stares
Because of fear we’ll evaporate
Say your prayers
And what’s next
[Chorus: 2Pac & Prince Ital Joe]
(The struggles continue, I’m strivin’ with my crew)
Where do we go from here
Tell me what the fuck am I suppossed to do
Where do we go, where do we go
What’s next? (tell me)
(The struggles continue, I’m buckin with my crew)
Where do we go from here
Please tell me what the fuck am I supposed to do
Where do we go, where do we go
What’s next?
[Mopreme]
I plant one on his block, chicken after chicken
There was a time that if you slip you caught a stitchin’
And the main position statition and ghetto politician
My competition’s nail ’em all top of the hill
My niggas kill for a thrill
But my soul pays the bill
I’m all balled out
Tryin’ to sell the devil a deal
I’m facin’ forty case ’bout to spin a grip
And all my fuckin’ homies fallin for the same shit
The world is a snake pit, true homies turn counterfeit
How much worser can it get, I’m not even feelin shit
I wish I could be legit
And turn this whole thing around
But there was no turnin’ back
I’m steadily sittin’ down which way do I go
[Chorus: Mopreme & Prince Ital Joe]
(The struggles continue)
Where do we go from here
Tell me what the fuck am I suppossed to do
Where do we go, where do we go
What’s next?
(The struggles continue, I’m strivin’ with my crew)
Where do we go from here
Tell me what the fuck am I suppossed to do
Where do we go, where do we go
What’s next?
(The struggles continue, I’m buckin with my crew)
Where do we go from here
Tell me what the fuck am I suppossed to do
Where do we go, where do we go
What’s next?
(The struggles continue, I’m strivin’ with my crew)
Where do we go from here
Tell me what the fuck am I suppossed to do
Where do we go, where do we go
What’s next?
[Mussolini]
I often wonder will the ways of today ever change
Now it’s like the summer days in the rain
We gain so much it held on through stormy weather
Just your touch and understandin’ kept us together
No need to swear to stay down
At any costs, gave me hugs and pounds
When I took that loss
You the boss
Is what you told me and you didn’t lie
Promise to never part until we die
Don’t cry , baby girl, I know the world is crashin’ on us
Plus the thought our relationship was built on trust
Don’t fuss I made mistakes you made mistakes too
What can we do, but just think this through
Stay true with me don’t mess with my enemies
Breakin’ up is drivin’ me crazy
So I’m highly occupied with women and my homies
To keep me from bein’ lonely, so what’s next
[Chorus: Mussolini & Prince Ital Joe]
(The struggles continue, I’m strivin’ with my crew)
Where do we go from here
Tell me what the fuck am I suppossed to do
Where do we go, where do we go
What’s next?
(The struggles continue, I’m buckin with my crew)
Where do we go from here
Tell me what the fuck am I suppossed to do
Where do we go, where do we go
What’s next?
(The struggles continue, I’m strivin’ with my crew)
Where do we go from here
Tell me what the fuck am I suppossed to do
Where do we go, where do we go
What’s next?
(The struggles continue, I’m buckin with my crew)
Where do we go from here
Tell me what the fuck am I suppossed to do
Where do we go, where do we go
What’s next?
Where do we go from here?
[Outro: Prince Ital Joe]
What’s next (where do we go)
Some of them livin’ in a booty complex (where do we go)
Tryin’ to make the Thug Life crew vex (where do we go)
Some hate God and some worship checks (where do we go)
So tell me what the fuck’s comin’ in
If you spit in the sky it gonna drop in your eye (where do we go)
You’ll never miss the water ’till the well runs dry
Real deep punkster then love a lot (where do we go)
When I clock me glock some heads gonna fly (where do we go from here)
Yeah,(where do we go) in case you never know my name is Prince Ital Joe
Kickin’ it with the Outlaw Immortal (where do we go)
Them you there is no true
Sing, remember (where do we go)
If you spit in the sky it gonna drop in your fuckin’ eye (where do we go from here)
So don’t disrespect in any aspect (where do we go)
Cause you gonna be a fuckin’ suspect
Ribits, (where do we go from here, where do we go)
Yes just some chill (where do we go)
You naw I mean, love the youth and then them relove (where do we go)
Catch this (where do we go)
(What’s next)
(Where do we go from here
Where do we go
Where do we go
Where do we go from here
Where do we go
Where do we go
Why don’t you tell me
Where do we go from here
Where do we go
Where do we go
