[Intro - 2Pac]
Cause I hate to spend my life, my life, my life, mylife
(Lost souls) Ducking one time
How it start? (my life, my life, my life) How it start?
[Verse 1 - 2Pac]
Started off with, running from cops, duck and hide from helicopters
We open fire, who can stop us?
Living the life of trife, juveniles hoping for righteous
Getting 25 to life, if the judge don't like us
ATF state feds, scandalous bitches
I wasn't promised to it, was it bitter or sweet?
See if a, nigga don't hustle then the nigga don't eat
On these streets, living do or die, circle complete
Repetitive motions and felons in the rush for G's
Please understand my history a man of many acts
Live the Thug Life, coming equipped, with plenty gats
Maybe I was just a Lost Soul, trapped in time
Living in between life, and the cracks were blind
Even though we had hopes for dreams that never came
Yet it's still we all feel pain
[Hook 1 - 2Pac]
Just waiting till rain turn to sunshine, cause I hate to spend
My life, my life, my life, my life, ducking one time
[Bridge 1 - 2Pac]
Stranded in the county in the worst way
Hell of a way, to spend my 21st birthday
Born in the ghetto as a street thug
It's for the neighborhood and weed spots that we love
Lost souls (Lost souls nigga, for my homeboys that passed on)
Words from the mind of a Lost Soul
[Hook 2 - 2Pac]
Just waiting till rain turn to sunshine
Cause I hate to spend my life, my life, my life, my life
Ducking one time
(Fuck) (Roll with a nigga, roll with a nigga)
[Verse 2 - Young Noble]
My brother Sean, first on my list he came home
Went back in and came back home again
And he just violate a parole
Now Uncle Sam wants the time he owe (damn)
Back to the system, Black and trapped in a prison
I miss him, it's just my brother don't listen
To nobody, hard headed, stuck in his ways
Won't change for nobody, all I could do is pray for him (pray for him)
And I'm praying for myself (for myself)
Trying to beat the odds with the cards that we was dealt
Young niggas need help (help), suicide rate is up higher than ever
Rest in peace to Randyz
Send my love to KRS and the family
We need to, try to make it through the struggle, it's family
They say rapping don't pay them bills (bills)
Trapping gon' pay them bills, but this ain't how we trying to live (damn)
[Hook 3 - 2Pac]
Waiting till rain turn to sunshine (sunshine)
Cause I hate to spend my life, my life, my life, my life
Ducking one time (hey) (one time, one time, one time) (uh, Outlaw)
[Verse 3 - Edi Amin]
I been waiting on the rain to turn to sunshine for a long time (long time)
Stuck up on this grind, still wasn't mine (wasn't mine)
Lost a couple homies, missing comrades
But ain't no looking back, man we got to keep it cracking
Just had another birthday, guess I'm lucky
Triple 7's, mama's still here to hug me
My baby on the way, she need a whole lot (whole lot)
She gon' get what she need, that's on Pac (that's on Pac)
I used to love this shit but man did shit change
It's a shame, niggas pay to be made but uh
Some of the realest of people give it up (give it up)
Lost souls around the world looking for love, uh
Forever thugging on them hoes, right or wrong
Thug Life imbedded in me till I'm dead and gone
It's in my heart, in my flesh, in my soul
I used to be lost, but now I know
[Hook 4 - 2Pac]
Just waiting till rain turn to sunshine
Cause I hate to spend my life, my life, my life, my life
Ducking one time (ballad of the lost souls, ride with me)

Ducking one time (i feel that shit) (can you feel me? can you feel me?)
[Hook 6 - 2Pac]

For all my dogs, keeping y'all in hell
Just to see you smile and enjoy yourself
For all my dogs, keeping y'all in hell
Just to see you smile and enjoy yourself

Just to see you smile and enjoy yourself
Throw your hands up, throw your hands up
Throw your hands up, throw your hands up
It's for all my dogs, keeping y'all in hell...
