Black Cotton (Original Version) 2Pac (Ft. Mouse Man)

[Intro: 2Pac]
Black Cotton
Black Cotton
(Uh yeah)
“I couldn't help but notice you’re pain”
“my pain?”
It runs deep, share it with me”
(Um)
Black cotton
A symbol for unrewarded struggle
Time for a little gospel tail
Ghetto gospel that is
Listen
(It's gonna get ya, gonna get ya)
Rotten black cotton in God's eyes
(It’s gonna get ya, gonna get ya)
Speak
(It's gonna get ya, gonna get ya)

[Verse 1: 2Pac]
Black Cotton
Steady stressing Smith & Wesson's count my blessings
Class is in session the worst question is the first question
Why do we work like slaves? sweating blades to an early grave
Never got paid but still we slave In the nine tre
Answer that then answer this too
Loves gonna get ya' you know it's true, life's a bitch true
You best to backtrack and try to act black and live
Not to be phoney and positive but why be negative?
What's the matter G? Black cat got your tongue
Fat track got you sprung now you're hung (Do ya feel me?)
Dum dum diddy answer me?
Attempt to reach, each and every brother on the streets
If not peace then, at least let’s get a piece
I’m tired of seeing bodies on the streets, deceased
Looking through my high school yearbook
Reminiscing of the tears as the years took
One homie, two homie, three homies, poof
We used to have troops but now there's no more, youth to shoot
God come save the misbegotten
Lost ghetto souls of black cotton (Cotton)
In God’s eyes
