I'm askin<br /><br /><em>[Chorus]<br /><br /><em>[Verse Three: Kadafi]<br />Faith in Allah, believe in me and this plastic<br />Cause so far I done witnessed to many dead niggaz in caskets<br />With they chest plates stretched like elastic<br />And what's worse I'm on front line, holdin down camp, still mashin<br />Heard my cousin, one of the old heads from the block<br />Just came home October of '95 back in Yardsville stuck<br />with a three to five, if he don't act up, now he realize<br />If you don't stay wise, then in this game you fucked<br />Talk to my baby girl, give me the word on what she heard<br />One of the grimmies is snitchin, Diamond a stool pigeon I talked to him<br />He said he didn't, my man said he did, in fact he's sure<br />Cause he just came home off of bail<br /><br /><em>[2Pac] Now tell me<br /><br /><em>[Chorus]<br /><br /><em>[Outro: spoken word]<br />Who do you believe in?<br />Is it Buddah, Jehovah, or Jah? Or Allah?<br />Is it Jesus? Is it God? Or is just yourself?<br />Definately not to be imposed, being a demon<br />Because this is the joy of believing!<br />Men, to believe in yourselves<br />But for sure, the higher power<br />Resides only to ride in the heart of the true<br />From the soul, of the man; for truth never has an alibi<br />In the poetry, or in it's realm<br />That's what pulls all words together<br />Just to understand, that every man, is his OWN man<br />And only man can satisfy the man<br />Only the soul of the man, the feelings of the man<br />The for realness of the man<br />You can't shake the man when you feel the man you know the man<br />And you gotta call yourself because you are that man<br /><br /><em>[2Pac]<br />Who do you believe in?<br />I put my faith in God, blessed and still breathin<br /><br /><em>[singing while 2Pac speaks]<br />Who do you believe in?
