Moonshine

[Intro: Excerpt of Tupac's 1995 interview with Chuck Philips for the L.A. Times]
On the same token, life is not just beautiful
It’s not, just having fun
It's not- It’s not all killing and drugs though, I’m not going to front
But, it’s not all fun
So the perfect album to me is when you talk about the hard shit, talk about the sexy shit, the fun shit, the uh- the sad shit, the hurting shit
You know what I mean?
Mhm

[Verse]
I done did my time
Why you gotta twist the knife
Why you gotta call me out my name for like the hundredth time
Why can't this shit ever be the same as when I fucked you right
Why the merits always get reserved for like anothеr life
I know that you want what you deservе, and I can't do it right
I look back on ways I've been deserted in the crux of strife:
Mirror when the waves that he was hurtin on my mother, I
Ain't no picture perfect till I learned it from my brother's eyes
Rather gain the knowledge now than wait till I'm like 35
When the charm don't glow enough to magnetize me to a wife
When the strength I held before do damage to my gift of might
Using you as stepping stools, attainment don't be worth the plight
Uh

[Chorus]
And when that moonshine reveals
And that space heater yawns
I put any semblance of your loving into my arms
So won't you keep it real
If you gone then you gone
Can't be cordial without love
Can't love when you harmed
And when that moonshine reveals
And that space heater yawns
I put any semblance of your loving into my arms
So won't you keep it real
If you gone then you gone
Can't be cordial without love
Can't love when you harmed

[Bridge]
And if I left grace today
Then I picked up that blick
Never trained in the ways in which life will be saved
Cherish less than I should
I was found the wind ways
Now you drown in those thoughts when they mention my name

[Chorus]
And when that moonshine reveals
And that space heater yawns
I put any semblance of your loving into my arms
So won't you keep it real
If you gone then you gone
Can't be cordial without love
Can't love when you harmed

[Outro]
And when that moonshine reveals
And that space heater yawns
Yup
