Tears to Lead

Intro

Yeah

Uh

Gangsta dreams

Let me tell you somethin

Verse 1

Mama said boy you gotta pray

I been countin paper every day

Cookin up that rock in the kitchen late

Servin blocks while the fiends rotate

Strapped up got the heat on my waist

Smile in my face but the hate I taste

Runnin from the law through the interstate

Made a couple plays now they know my face

Pre-Chorus

Comin up from nothin

Struggle and the sufferin

One day imma make it

Imma take what they took from me

Chorus

Gangsta dreams in my head

Blood on the concrete where I bled

Tears that I cried turn to lead

Gangsta dreams till I'm dead

Post-Chorus

Yeah yeah

Gangsta dreams

Yeah yeah

Verse 2

Pipeline straight through the trenches

Niggas turnin snitch for a sentence

Neck full of ice cold pendants

Back from the dead call it resurrection

Hustle in my veins can't deny it

Had to grind for it had to buy it

Feds kickin doors they be tryin

But I'm too slick they can't find it

Pre-Chorus

Comin up from nothin

Struggle and the sufferin

One day imma make it

Imma take what they took from me

Chorus

Gangsta dreams in my head

Blood on the concrete where I bled

Tears that I cried turn to lead

Gangsta dreams till I'm dead

Bridge

Prayed on my knees in the dark

Ain't nobody had my back from the start

Broke boy heart with a wall of stone

Now I'm standin tall on my own

Gotta make it out gotta stack it tall

Payback comin watch me take it all

Chorus

Gangsta dreams in my head

Blood on the concrete where I bled

Tears that I cried turn to lead

Gangsta dreams till I'm dead

Post-Chorus

Yeah yeah

Gangsta dreams

Yeah yeah

Gangsta dreams
