[Intro: 2Pac]
  Let us pray
  Heavenly Father, hear a nigga down here
  Before I go to sleep
  Tell me, who do you believe in?
  Who do you believe in?
    [Verse One: 2Pac]
  I see mothers in black cryin, brothers in packs dyin
  Plus everybody's high, too doped up to ask why
  Watchin our own downfall, witness the end
  It's like we don't believe in God cause we livin in sin
  I asked my homie on the block why he strapped, he laughed
  Pointed his pistol as the cop car passed and blast
  It's just another murder, nobody mourns no more
  My tear drops gettin bigger but can't figure what I'm cryin for
  Is it the miniature caskets, little babies
  Victims of a stray, from drug dealers gone crazy
  Maybe it's just the drugs, visions of how the block was
  Crack came and it was strange how it rocked us
  Perhaps the underlyin fact stay high explain genocide
  It's when we ride on our own kind
  What is it we all fear, reflections in the mirror
  We can't escape fate, the end is gettin nearer
    [Chorus 2X: 2Pac]
  Who do you believe in?
  I put my faith in God, blessed and still breathin
  And even though it's hard, that's who I believe in
  Before I'm leavin, I'm askin the grievin - who do you believe in?
    [Verse Two: 2Pac]
  Can't close my eyes cause all I see is terror
  I hate the man in the mirror
  Cause his reflection makes the pain turn realer
  Times of Armageddeon, murder in mass amounts
  In this society where only gettin the cash counts
  I started out as a beginner
  Entered the criminal lifestyle became a sinner
  I make my money and vacate, evade prison
  Went from the chosen one to outcast, unforgiven
  And all the Hennessy and weed can't hide, the pain I feel inside
  You know, it's like I'm livin just to die
  I fall on my knees and beg for mercy, not knowin if I'm worthy
  Livin life thinkin no man can hurt me
  So I'm askin -- before I lay me down to sleep
  Before you judge me, look at all the shit you did to me, my misery
  I rose up from the slums, made it out the flames
  In my search for fame will I change? I'm askin
    [Chorus]
    [Verse Three: Kadafi]
  Faith in Allah, believe in me and this plastic
  Cause so far I done witnessed to many dead niggaz in caskets
  With they chest plates stretched like elastic
  And what's worse I'm on front line, holdin down camp, still mashin
  Heard my cousin, one of the old heads from the block
  Just came home October of '95 back in Yardsville stuck
  with a three to five, if he don't act up, now he realize
  If you don't stay wise, then in this game you fucked
  Talk to my baby girl, give me the word on what she heard
  One of the grimmies is snitchin, Diamond a stool pigeon I talked to him
  He said he didn't, my man said he did, in fact he's sure
  Cause he just came home off of bail
    [2Pac] Now tell me
    [Chorus]
    [Outro: spoken word]
  Who do you believe in?
  Is it Buddah, Jehovah, or Jah? Or Allah?
  Is it Jesus? Is it God? Or is just yourself?
  Definately not to be imposed, being a demon
  Because this is the joy of believing!
  Men, to believe in yourselves
  But for sure, the higher power
  Resides only to ride in the heart of the true
  From the soul, of the man; for truth never has an alibi
  In the poetry, or in it's realm
  That's what pulls all words together
  Just to understand, that every man, is his OWN man
  And only man can satisfy the man
  Only the soul of the man, the feelings of the man
  The for realness of the man
  You can't shake the man when you feel the man you know the man
  And you gotta call yourself because you are that man
    [2Pac]
  Who do you believe in?
  I put my faith in God, blessed and still breathin
    [singing while 2Pac speaks]
  Who do you believe in? Put my faith in God, and
  Blessed and still breathin
    [singer + (2Pac)]
  Even though it's hard (Who do you believe in?)
  That's who I believe in (Put my faith in God)
  Before I'm leavin (Even though it's hard)
  I'm askin the grievin
  (Before I'm leavin I'm askin the grievin - who do you believe in?)

  Oh blessed, oh blessed
