Lyrics

[Verse 1: 2Pac] Straight outta Oakland, California where we spark it on ya Give a shout out to my partners in the darkest corners I remember drinkin' Hennessy, smokin' weed Fantasize about the things we'd grow to be Had a partner named Snupe, loved to clown a stank Smoke a pound a day, commenced to down a drank Shootin' craps in the alley 'til they chased us off Pour a little for my homies, but don't waste it all Ooohweee, who popped that coochie best? On my tattooed chest is where the hoochies rest Havin' house parties in a crowded spot And you can tell it's hot, they talk loud a lot Everybody wanna dance when the slow jam come Lookin' dumb, 'cause you waitin' for your chance to hump Straight grindin', everybody havin' fun And it's cool, 'til a fool pull a loaded gun 'Cause another dude kicked his Bacardi over He had to act a fool, now the party's over Gun shots rang like it's thunder And everybody bum rushin' and I'm rushin' to get a number Says she got a man but she's lyin' Why? I seen her talkin' to this other guy and He's a dealer so you know she gonna sweat him I ain't trippin', I just hope he get 'em, I got nothin' but love [Chorus: Dave Hollister & 2Pac] Ain't got nothin' but love for ya I'm down for yours, nothin' but love Ain't got nothin' but love for ya I'm down for yours, nothin' but love Ain't got nothin' but love for ya I'm down for yours, nothin' but love Ain't got nothin' but love for ya I'm down for yours [Verse 2: 2Pac ] I love to go back, to the block I got my game from And pay respect to the place that I came from 'Cause, uh, old man still drinkin', his breath still stinkin' He'd love to tell ya what he's thinkin' But I can't diss him he's my elder He been livin' here longer what that tell ya? And little girls playin' double dutch Still blush, 'cause she don't get in trouble much It's uhh, ponytails and barrettes I gotta make it back home, before the sun decides to set And little boys playin' stick ball, quick y'all Get out the street before they hit y'all And as I reminisce, I think about my ghetto bliss And wonder how we came to this I help an old lady across the street, the cost is free I can't take what she offers me And this is how the world could be This is how the world should be Feels good to be back on the streets 'Cause I know they got love for me, nothin' but love [Chorus: Dave Hollister & 2Pac] Ain't got nothin' but love for ya I'm down for yours, nothin' but love Ain't got nothin' but love for ya I'm down for yours, nothin' but love Ain't got nothin' but love for ya I'm down for yours, nothin' but love Ain't got nothin' but love for ya I'm down for yours [Verse 3: 2Pac] When I was young I used to want to be a dealer see 'Cause the gold and cars they appealed to me I saw our brothers gettin' rich slangin' crack to folks And the square's gettin' ripped for their sac a doe Started thinkin' bout a plan to get paid myself So I made myself, raised myself 'Til the dealer on the block told me, "That ain't cool You ain't meant to slang crack, you're a rapper, fool" I got my game about women from a prostitute And way back used to rap on the block for loot I tried to make my way legit, haha But it was hard, 'cause rhymes don't pay the rent And uhh, it was funny how I copped out I couldn't make it in school, so finally I dropped out My family on welfare I'm steady thinkin', since don't nobody else care I'm out here on my own At least in jail I have a meal and I wouldn't be alone I'm feelin' like a waste, tears rollin' down my face 'Cause my life is filled with hate Until I looked around me I saw nothin' but family, straight up down for me Panthers, Pimps, Pushers and Thugs Hey, yo, that's my family tree, I got nothin' but love [Chorus: Dave Hollister & 2Pac] Ain't got nothin' but love for ya Yeah, nothin' but love Ain't got nothin' but love for ya Yeah, nothin' but love Ain't got nothin' but love for ya Uhm, nothin' but love Ain't got nothin' but love for ya, Yeah Ain't got nothin' but love for ya Ain't got nothin' but love for ya Ain't got nothin' but love for ya Nothin' but love Ain't got nothin' but love for yam, Yeah Oaktown Ain't got nothin' but love for ya Ain't got nothin' but love for ya Ain't got nothin' but love for ya
