The Journey
2Pac · Other Songs - 2Pac
path that is unseen/cause were in a new dimenshun releasing
all the stress pain and tenshun/cause my lyrics are
bringin a whole new level i traveled the abyss and
i slayed the devil/but that was just a dream so fear
not hear not as i scream out GOD'S name in vain because
im insane bringin much pain to emcees in this game/because
this game i play is not the same i play this game a
whole new different way/so put down your head in shame
as i aim a 380 automatic to the back of your brain/cause
that you'll try to harm me cause im one crazy insane
one man army/now prepare yourself to step into my domain
its a house full of terror horror and much pain/but
its the place where i live where i dwell an indignation
a vision of hell/in my imagination i see myself walin
through the lake of fire demons beside me sins of
desire/and i will aquire another emcee to take a trip
with me and we'll go slay the demon beast on this journey/verse
2 its all consiracy engraved in gold an invitation
to our deaths so woe behold/i see the signs of the
times and now im lookin to the future and its lookin
dim/because the the times we all dread are still ahead
and im tryin not forget what the bible has said/end
times apocolyse six six six and awhole lot of other
crazy shit/fire brimstone fallin down from the sky
all of these things but dont ask me why/now lets take
a trip down a road an grab your nine or a.
k's be ready to unload/cause what we will see wont
be a pretty sight it will like the streets of oxnard
but worse at night/so now that you know its a terror
zone i have grip on my mac 10 cause i stand alone/trapped
inside a dream wondering what does all this mean/can
it be terror mayhem or deception now its time for me
to change my direction/cause i can see the path im
headed down hellbound now its time for me to turn around/hell
is a prison for the evil with no defense attourney
here on this cosmic journey/verse 3 danger lurks all
around me hounds me and it has found me/lost trapped
inside an evil place where there's nowhere to hide
but only to face/ demons that corrupt my brain delusions
cofusion drivin me insane/torment of unseen force guidin
me through an obstacle couse/down insanity headed nowhere
fast and wonderin how long will all this sufferin last/but
still i try to stay strong and at the same time wonder
were did i go wrong/now im stepping into light comin
out of the darkness from the night/my eyes bein blinded
from day but it is easier to find my way/but i still
feel im bein bound down by chains now i look down to
ground and i see blood stains/right next to them i
can see my cell then realized im goin to hell/so now
im tryin to change tryin to be good and put in a way
it can be understood/were all headed down that path
thats unseen a journey down the path of this cosmic dream
