Straight muthafuckin' ballin'

Part two, still ballin'

Westside

Now ever since a nigga was a seed

Only thing promised to me was the penitentiary

Still ballin', ridin' on these niggas 'cause they lame

In a '61 Chevy, still heavy in this game

Can you feel me?

Blame it on my mama, I'm a thug, nigga

Up before the sunrise, quicker than the drug dealers

Tell me if it's on, nigga, then we first to bomb

Bust on these bitch made niggas, hit em' up

Westside

Ain't nobody love me as a broke nigga

Finger on the trigger, Lord, forgive me if I smoke

I love my female strapped, love fuckin' from the back

I get my currency in stacks, California's where I'm at

Ride

Pass by, while these niggas wonder why

I got shot but didn't die, let 'em see who's next to try

Did I cry, hell nah, nigga tears shed

For all my homies in the pen, many peers dead

Nigga, still ballin'

Still ballin' until the day I die

You can bring your crew

But we remain true (yeah)

Muthafuckers still ballin' (I be ballin')

Niggas wonder why (they wonder why)

You can bring your crew, but we remain true

Muthafuckers still ballin'

Now if you kneel and pray, you hope the Lord understand

When he's gone, the Father become a dangerous man

Ain't crazy or deranged, I'm sad (I'm sad)

But when these kids go to spray him

Boy, I don't be playin' (I don't be playin')

With clientele and your rhyme sells

Question is, will you fuck niggas ride for real?

Huh? Bitch nigga, this is G rated

Plus, your homeboy won't make your street game foogazy

I'm elevated to the top of this shit

Done fucked around and put me and Tupac on this bitch

And you can tell 'em thug life was the reason for this

And I'll ride for any nigga who believe in this shit

Still ballin', until the day I die

You can bring your crew, but we remain true

Muthafuckers still ballin', niggas wonder why

You can bring your crew, but we remain true

Muthafuckers still ballin'

Now everybody wanna see us dead

Two murdered on the front page, shot to death, bullets to the head

Niggas holla out my name and it's similar to rain

Muthafuckers know I'm comin' so they runnin to they graves

Watch

Swoop down with my nigga from the pound

Cause trick don't give a fuck when you coward niggas now

Blast, keep pumpin', ain't worried bout nuttin'

Muthafuckers still ballin' (I be ballin')

Niggas wonder why (they wonder why)

Muthafuckers still ballin' 'til the day I die

Thug life

Still ballin'

Muthafuckers still ballin'

Straight muthafuckin' ballin'

Fugees! Fugees and Mobb Deep tryin' to diss now too?

I ain't prejudiced, I don't give a fuck

This is what it sounds like when we ride on our enemies

Biatch! When we ride on our enemies

Hey! Got some static for some niggas on the other side of town

Let my little cousin K roll, he's a rider now

What they want from us motherfuckin' thug niggas?

Used to love niggas now I plug niggas, and slug niggas

Am I wrong? niggas makin' songs, tryin' to get with us

Must be gone on stress weed in the west we trust

To the chest I bust! Then we ride 'til the sun come

Shinin' back to brighten up the sky, many die

Heard the Fugees was tryin' to do me, look bitch

I cut yo' face, this ain't no motherfuckin' movie

Then we watch the other two die slow

Castrated entertainin' at my motherfuckin' sideshow

Bam! Set my plan in mo'

Time to exterminate my foes, I can't stand you hoes

Now label this my fuckin' trick shot

My lyrics runnin' all you cowards out of Hip-Hop

When we ride on our enemies

When we ride on our enemies

I bet you motherfuckers die

When we ride on our enemies

When we ride on our enemies

Bet all you motherfuckers die

When we ride on our enemies

Come take a journey through my mind's eye

You crossed the game, don't explain, nigga time to die, say goodbye

Watch my eyes when I pull the trigger

So right before you die you bow before a bigga nigga, now dry yo' eyes

You was heartless on yo' hits

Niggas love to scream peace after they start some shit

Pay attention, here's a word to those that robbed me

I murder you then I run a train on Mobb Deep! Don't fuck with me

Nigga you're barely livin', don't you got sickle cell?

See me have a seizure on stage, you ain't feelin' well, hell

How many niggas wanna be involved?

See I was only talkin' to Biggie, but I'll kill all of y'all, then ball

Then tell da brat to keep her mouth closed

Fuck around and get tossed up, by the fuckin' Outlawz

Before I leave, make sure everybody heard

Know I meant, every motherfuckin' word

When we ride on our enemies

When we ride on our enemies

Make sure everybody die

When we ride on our enemies

When we ride on our enemies

I make sure everybody die

When we ride on our enemies

Shit, I'm a changed man

Ay, turn the lights out

Big baller 2Pac up in this bitch

Y'know how we swing this shit, look

By age sixteen I sold to dopefiends

Not yet a drug dealer, but I watched 'em closely

Until they noticed me I got the feds wonderin who broke the law

Far too inhibited for gunsmoke, I broke his jaw

Words harder than a fuckin diamond

Mobile phone call to Simon, niggaz trippin homey, when we ridin?

Fuck them slowly like Jodeci

And stick a needle in my eye if I don't live and die for M.O.B.

And fuck your homeboys nigga we can drop the guns

I hit your block and we can box for fun

Nigga one on one, last to fall is a baller cat

It's Death Row, why the fuck you think we call it that?

So if you knew me in my past life

Don't act like we homeboys, ain't no love in the fast life

I switch gears on them jealous bitches, who do you fear?

The gameplan of a changed man, so what I'm sayin is

I changed plans but I'm still the same old rider

(Fuckin with a changed man)

I slang a new dope to the world but the people still buy it

(Nigga you fuckin with a changed man)

All my real thug niggaz, go and get your hands up

You go and drink the Henn' up

(You fuckin with a changed man)

Changed man, you're dealin with a changed man

In drop top, the glock cocked, got rocks in my socks

Cops spot Watt niggaz but hardly stop niggaz

Not if they got niggaz, doughboys and hot niggaz

Who mighta shot niggaz but only by strugglin

I'm for respect nowadays they expect me

To be in a Ferrari or the old SL

Or anything you see flashin past and can't catch

Dat's me, gauge on the Escalade back seat - don't creep

Oh what you think, T.I., P and them sweet? (Don't sleep)

Get you hit from your head to your feet (And you don't know me)

I'm fin' ta introduce you to the old me

You walk in, exploded and leave reload

You don't like a rugged nigga, fuck you, blow me

But you will respect me or get it in your neckpiece G

No three niggaz here are gonna let me be

Or get you inside there's codes to the streets nigga

A nigga so cold when I flow, bow down to Death Row

Three wheel motion, comin through coastin

Who's that nigga in the G-ride screamin out

M.O.B.! Nigga we ride

I hit the charts like a stick-up kid

#1 in the nation

I fucked the world, the Judge gave me probation

Faced with incarceration

Move tapes like it's big weight, slangin to the whole nation

GIMME MINE, or I'm blastin on every song

Murder my enemies, I'm mashin until I'm gone

One love to my thug niggaz

And fuck a bitch, cause a true sister love niggaz

Throw yo' hands in the air, close your eyes and hope

Never come against the massive smoke, on Death Row

My adversaries BLEED

But fuck 'em all 'til the talk cease, fuckin with a changed man

E'rybody think they understand me

Shit, you niggaz don't know me

Y'all know that nigga on the rap song

Y'all know that nigga in the movies

You don't know this nigga in 3D

Real live right up against you in front of yo' face

Shit, nigga you fuckin with a changed man

Westside, Outlaw Immortalz, hehehe

You fuckin with a changed man

Hahaha. you fuckin with a changed man

Hahaha. I ain't the same, you fuckin with a changed man

(That's right bitch, Fuck em' all)

Hahaha yeah nigga, fuck em' all

Fuck all you motherfuckers

Ay Yo Biggie Put your hands up

Now I can make it happen

My rapping is similar to muthafuckers

When they scrapping

Blast and watch em' back up

Notorious biggie killer

Affiliation with death row

Niggaz get their caps pealed back

Fool this the west coast

Fuck a misdemeanor I'm raising hell like felonies

Mr. Makaveli straight outta jail to selling these

Intoxicated we duplicated but never faded

Now that we made it my adversaries is player hating

Got a Mercedes for these tricks

That thought I quit

Then got a drop top jag for these bitches that's on my dick

Go to a club in a pack

I'm smoking bud in the back

I wait for niggaz to trip

Cause bitch I love to scrap

Now mama raised me as a thug nigga

With love niggaz

I'm a millionaire started as a drug dealer

I went from rocks to zines

Writing raps and movies

I went from trusting these tricks now they all want to sue me

So Fuck em' all

Come put your hands up in the air, it's a middle finger affair, yeah

(That's right bitch, Fuck em' all)

Now could you picture my criminal status at its fucking peak

Even the baddest be getting murdered in they seats

I'm addicted to these streets

Like crack is to these creeps

Seeing visions of a prison

Wake up screaming in my sleep

Is there a heaven in this hell

A possibility of living well

But if they killing me

I get my stripes and whose to tell

Choosing to sell

I'd rather die and be deceased

World mob figga addicted to these fucking streets

Now put your motherfucking hands up

If you're a rider (ride)

Niggaz ain't killers

So they hiding

Why?

Fuck em' all, touch em' all

That's the way that we do it

Ride up, hop the fuck out watch that bitch nigga lose it

Man I'm as strong as this game

Ya'll be knowing my name (Edi)

A young high strung thug nigga

Created by pain

Living my life in the fast lane

Getting fucked by the past

Got my mind on my cash and my next piece of ass

So fuck em' all

Come put your hands up in the air, It's a middle finger affair, yeah

(That's right bitch, Fuck em' all)

(Young noble) I do my girl all by my lonely, don't need no phony homie to call me

Comfortable, I'm running you

(That's right bitch, Fuck em' all)

(Young noble) Nigga, we Outlaw ridah'z don't give a fuck if ya love us we thugging

I got glad bags with enemies

Cut up so they remember me

Soaked up in Hennessey

So they relatives know it's me

You can bet your last dollar

I'll dick em' and holla

Riding these hoochies

Like they some heavy ass Chevy impalas

Jump up and get your ass shot up

For the profit pick my glock up

I'm busting in self defense ya see

Popping nobody got em'

Holla Outlaw riders

Mash up on the gas pedal

Vacate the scene

Count the cash and stash the precious metal

Here come the coppers

The swat team and the helicopters

Them crackers is crazy

Why? 'Cause they'll never stop us

I watch Arnold Swarchzenegger

Bust some body in the movie

Now I want to do it too

Ohh, ohh niggaz is too through

True to the game

I claim Outlaw riders

We give a fuck what they try

I'm...

Cause Young Noble behind it

Can you picture me sticking niggaz for they watch and chain

Kick back lil nigga

And watch the game

Get your mobb rocked and what-not

We keep it popping like a drug spot

The streets know what's hot

Trust me

Even my hood call me baby Malcolm X with the tek's

Shower some slugs on em'

I've got a brother don't rest

And he keep some drugs on him

Always in grind mood

Hustle to find food

Ever seen faces of death

That's what my nine do

I keep my mind on my money

And my money on my mind

With my back against the wall

Like I'm running outta time

Even rap with a gat

I must be going out my mind

Like I'm up against the world

This guerilla team of mine

Screaming

Thug Life Bitch, Fuck em' all

(That's right bitch, Fuck em all)

And die for em'

Even if them the last nigga left I'ma ride for em'

Feel me?

Until they kill me, that's how I'm rolling

Fuck em' all

Let them die

That's my slogan

Fuck em' all

Come put your hands up in the air, It's a middle finger affair, yeah

(Young Noble) Nigga, we Outlaw ridah'z don't give a fuck if ya love us we thugging

(That's right bitch, Fuck em all) (repeat 2 times to fade)

*Tupac*

Now of course I want peace on the streets

But realistically

Painting perfect pictures ain't never work

My misery was so deep

Couldn't sleep through all my pressures

In my quest for cash

I learned fast

Using violent measures

Memories of adolescent years

Their was unity

But after puberty we brought war

To our community

So many bodies dropping

Its gotta stop

I want to help

But still I'm stepping

Keeping my weapon

Must protect myself

The promise of a better tomorrow

Ain't never reach me

Plus my teachers were to petrified in class to teach me

Sipping thunderbird

And grape kool-aid

Calling Earl since my stomach was empty

It seduced me to fuck the world

Watch my 'lil homies

Lose there childhood to guns

Nobody cries no more

Cause we all die for fun

So why you ask me if I want peace

If you cant grant it

Niggas fighting across the whole planet

So we can never be peace

Or all we all just headed for doom,

Still consumed by the beefs,

And I know there never be peace,

That's why I keep my pistol when I walk the streets

Cause there can never be peace

*Kastro*

Somebody owes me

Will they control me? nah

I ain't a hater playa

But I want all you got

Your babies have babies

Now we fighting each other

My dogs got rabies

They biting each other

N' it ain't hard to find a friend like mine

Big fully is a bully

And he don't mind dying

And I gotta be bright

Miss sign after sign

Time after time

After time after time

And I don't like nobody

They don't like me more

And I'm cool with that finally

But they heard it before

Dog

We living in a prison

Losing our religion on em

Thanks given when thankful just for living in hell

Damn homey I don't mean to be harsh

But it's the devil in the ghetto trying to tear it apart

And if we make it up out

We still stuck in the dark

Will there ever be peace?

Just the peace in my heart

Never

*Kastro talking*

The only peace we got

Is the peace in our heart

Or the peace in our mind

Right there in piece that we hold in our waste line

Feel me dog?

Cm'on

Will there ever be peace?

Still consumed by the beefs,

And I know there never be peace, (never)

Thats why I keep my pistol when I walk the streets

Coz there can never be peace

*E.D.I.*

Things are changing

Nigga you better fantasize

I'm only concerned about me and mine in these times

The world is a ghetto where peace is not a part of it

We all goin' need God if we plan to get out of this

Niggas spending too much time hating on each other

Niggas buyin' guns

Load em up

Aim at each other

And the victim is you and me

The secret is true indeed

The good die

Mostly over bullshit

Repeatedly

Deep in me there's a part that wants nothing but love

But the rest of me knows war is what's waiting for us

So I stays ready

Keep my pay heavy and boss up

Stack my funds and my guns

Never rely on luck

Asking God to point out the imposters

Never let no weapon formed against me prosper

Cause they'll never be peace

Soldiers die for

FUCK PEACE

Will there ever be peace?

Still consumed by the beefs,

That's why I keep my pistol when I walks the streets

Will there ever be peace?

Still consumed by the beefs,

That's why I keep my pistol when I walks the streets

Will there ever be peace?

Still consumed by the beefs,

That's why I keep my pistol when I walks the streets

Cause there can never be peace

Shit, fuck peace

On the strength till my niggas get a piece

Young mothers (that's right)

I feel ya (hey)

I know how it is

Mama's just a little girl

Don't nobody understand

I feel ya

She was born a heavy set girl with pigtails and curls

A heart full of gold, still it won't change the world

Though she could never understand why

Some underhanded plans witnessed a man die

Was only fifteen, should have been a beauty queen, still

See her crying by the caskets when her parents got killed

Little girl don't cry, 'cause even though they died

You can best believe they're watching over thee from the sky

Never asked for this misery, but look at what you're getting

Is a blessing in disguise when you find out you're pregnant

No money, no home, and even though you're all alone

You gots to do this on your own, so baby go

I wish you luck and if you need me, call

Just come to me and let me feed you all

I can understand the way it feels when you're fighting the world

Facing all this drama when mama's just a little girl

Mama don't know why

Mama's just a little girl

Living if she is or not oh

Time ain't on her side

Cause mama's just a little girl (mama is just a little girl)

She gotta hold her head up high oh

At sixteen, what a beautiful thing

The very essence of a jet-black ebony queen

And who could tell she'd get pregnant at an early age? (what?)

She didn't listen, had sex, watch her belly raise (hey)

Got violated by someone she dated, if this is fate

I'd hate to see the seeds she created, and so we waited

Though it takes time to build a body and a mind

She reclines nine months then finally it's time

What do we find? Little growing boy of mine

With a tortured soul, addicted to a life of crime

Had no time for the growing stage

He learned his values on the streets at an early age

Watch for police, don't come home (why?)

cause mama's acting crazy at the hospital

About to have another baby, like a rose from the concrete

Growing within, blessed with twins

How the hell can mama raise three men?

So we began, closest family, such insanity

A happy home from one act of inhumanity

Plus mama said they seed was corrupt, it used to rub

Her belly, begging to let us breathe if she loved us

Now, mama, since quiet, sipping peppermint Schnapps

Turned the house into a spot and made her watch for cops hey

How could mama bring a thug like me into the world?

She ain't the cause of all this drama

Cause mama's just a little girl

Mama don't know why

Mama's just a little girl

Living if she is or not, oh

Time ain't on her side

Cause mama's just a little girl (mama is just a little girl)

She gotta hold her head up high, oh

Now, will she remain in the same spot?

The gunshots rang, they came from the 'caine spot

Now, look here, I see her clutching her son in her arms, she's hurt

Her heart bleeds, now she watched her seed die in the dirt

Fulfil prophecies, but who could stop the grief

I walk around trying to hold the world up on top of me

Probably be an innocent man, still I'm the victim of a curse

What could be worse? Nothing but pain since my birth

Only functions at the pen, 'cause everybody's in

Paying back society, I'm guilty of a life of sin

I watch the drama occur, my eyes blur before I jetted

I wonder why we all have to die before we get it

Though we shed tears, so many peers I've done buried

Worried and scared, knowing I'm going to see the cemetery

Must be prepared in this cold world no one cares

Knowing it ain't fair, but we all bear and do our share

In this land of the underhanded schemes and plans

Vivid dreams of a nigga having G's in hand

Mama told me not to be a punk

Fuck what you talking about, coward, what you niggaz want? (hey)

There ain't a thing I wouldn't do for my mama in this world

Cause you know I ain't mad at cha, you're just a little girl

See mama is just a little girl (Mama is just a little girl)

Mama don't know why

Mama's just a little girl

Living if she is or not, oh

Time ain't on her side

They ask us why we mutilate each other like we do

They wonder why we hold such little worth for human life

(Facing all this drama)

To ask us why we turn from bad to worse is to ignore from which we came

(mama is just a little girl)

You see, you wouldn't ask why the rose that grew from the concrete had damaged petals

On the contrary, we would all celebrate its tenacity

We would all love its will to reach the sun

Well, we are the roses (we are the roses)

This is the concrete (this is the concrete)

And these are my damaged petals (and these are my damaged petals)

Don't ask me why (Don't ask why)

Thank God, nigga (Thank God)

Ask me how (ask me how)

You see, mama's just a little girl hey (mama)

Mama

Turn it up in my head phones

Coming to a ghetto near you, street fame

More, coming to a ghetto near you

I wasn't mad until these tricks shot me,

It's time to sanitize my posse

Look how paranoid these niggas got me

Cellular calls are being traced, since surveillance silently

Momma chill thug livin' pay the bills and die violently

Closed caskets expose bastards I leave 'em bloody

Deloris tucker don't let your kids hear a nigga speak on gettin' money

Ain't nothin' funny, green, got a nigga seein' things

Why, hit the lye hope to God I can fly

Lethal weapon I'm a savage, still a method to my madness

Blast niggaz laugh call 'em care cabbage

Read 'em and weep, put 'em to sleep they hell bound

Lyrics will leave 'em spell bound, clown now tired of being held down

Cross my heart hope to die blinded in some pussy millionaire

Living care free, sucka free, playa haters miss me

Hope in hard times never catch me slippin'

Fuck authorities they wonder why minorities be trippin' we ain't having it

Time to tear this shit back, ghetto children kick back

Once I hit the mat niggaz will never get this shit back

Spit it so eloquently, my pistols represent me

Bust until my rounds empty, back for the street fame

One love to my true thugs comin' to a ghetto near you, street fame

Bust, comin' to a ghetto near you, street fame

All out warfare, eye for a eye bustin' on my enemies bad boy killing

(Comin' to a ghetto near you, street fame)

Straight dissing you, fuck Lil' Kim you nasty bitch

Temperatures rises niggaz blinded by my lyrical disguise

No time to plot retreats, niggaz shiver and die

Multiple rounds found laced in his body and face

Wrapped in plastic, the acid erased all traces

Criminal tactics the rap game became so drastic

Military mind mashed all the walls they blasted

If we bleed then they suffocate chokin' in terror

So we strive singularize we reflect in the mirrors

The prophecy is clear niggaz lock an' load disappear

Strategize with no fear, waging war for years

The crack game wasn't big enough, ready to rush

You bitch made motherfuckers get murdered and touched

I go to jail niggaz screamin' free me, speakin' freely

Conversatin' with my comrades kicking Swahili

Indeed nature feel my first seed it gets worse

Plans are cursed to be a G on the first to breathe

Currency in stacks, artillery in the back strapped

Armies, we camouflaged in all black

When we attack, holla out my set, nigga tighten your jaw

Givin' birth to outlaws, street fame

Bust nigga bust, comin' to a ghetto near you, street fame it's true

(Hell yeah)

Only Makaveli the don can put it down like this, hey Nas

(Comin' to a ghetto near you with street fame)

Positive identification, got me rushed to the station

Stuck in this line up tryin' hard to hide my face

They placed the name but can't recall description

I ain't did shit officer, that bitch trippin'

Promise retaliation they plan busted, no man to be trusted

Everything corrupted once man touched it, Kamikaze

Hoping that none of the spies find me

That's why we bye bye daily, knowin' cops trail me

But why cry floatin' while we tokin' on this potent branch

Flossing in the thug stance, flipping pockets out inside my pants

Never underestimate me, playa hate me, see me and hide

Sure as hollow points shatter, enemies die

Spread love dead thugs gettin' buried in riches

Take a chance to advance fuck them worryin' bitches

Penitentiary's a possibility, bust and pray

Wear a rubber so I live to fuck another day

Hey ain't nothin' strange, I'm 25 dying to change

But still I bang wanting street fame

That's the end of that, thugged out, Makaveli the don

Representin' the outlaws

Street fame, one love to my true niggaz

Comin' to a ghetto near you, street fame

Makaveli the don, Killuminati

Comin' to a ghetto near you, street fame

Yo check this out, I'm a tell you like this, street fame

If the lifestyle that you living

Got you taking more fucking shorts than getting props

Then that lifestyle need to stop, best to recognize some outlaw shit

Cause only in this outlaw lifestyle can you truly come to

To see what this life's supposed to be like

Nigga you'll start to see riches, fine bitches and hitting switches

Shit, to me that shit sound delicious

Hell yeah

And ugh

I started out dumb sprung off a hood rat

Listening to the radio wishing that I could rap

But nothing changed I was stuck in the game

Cause everybody in the industry was fucking me man

Listen I've got a scheme break away do my own thing

Drop some conversation sit back and let the phone ring

Niggas they want to see me rise

97 watch me cut these motherfuckers down to size

And if I catch another case ], lord knows how they hate me

Got a playa in the court room please don't let them frame me

I've been dealt a lot of bad cards living as a thug

Count my blessings don't stress in this land with no love

Maybe if they see me rolling look at all this green I'm holding

I guess that's why the envious get their eye swollen

Hoping the heavenly father love a hustler

Be the hardest nigga on earth to ever bust a nut

My homies tell me have a heart fuck they feelings

I've been trying to make a million since we started

We cold hearted, niggas in masks that'll blast at the task force

Empty out my clip time to mash they asked for it

Me Makaveli I'm a motherfucker

We break bread now we thug brothers (huhuh)

Niggas talk a lot of nonsense I choose to ignore

A war they ain't ready for it (huhuh)

Now what cha gonna do? When my niggas come for you

(What ya gonna do)

Now what cha gonna do? When my niggas come for you

(What ya gonna do)

Now what cha gonna do? When my niggas come for you

(What ya gonna do)

My nine is thuglord

My mind on my grind

Outlawz is my heart

They shine when I shine

My rhyme is my grind

My team be on role

Proceed with the onslaught

Indeed they on top

They all marks

And its an outlaw holocaust

When I got the sawed-off

Niggas gettin' halved off

Yer, nigga beware

Stand clear

This nigga's scared

Man I don't really care

I've been lost loved (loved)

My heart need a hug (hug)

My bite leave blood (blood)

Fight with a grudge

The life of a thug nigga, might need gloves

But you will never know

With a price on your mug

And fight strips snug right around your hands

Niggas sure you can never grab the mic again

Dog you fucking with a grown man

And I can't afford to loose

Where we from niggas told to do

So what cha ya wann' do?

Now what cha gonna do? When my niggas come for you

(What ya gonna do)

Now what cha gonna do? When my niggas come for you

Watch me clown give me loving when I'm high

I'ma outlaw baby I'll be thugging 'till I die

In drop-top double-are life as a rap star

Hustle like a crack fiend 'till they catch me

Go ask somebody to your show

Watch them niggas out the sight of my night scope

Cooking white dope got mah nigga 25 to life stretched out

Trying to have all the better things in life

Well Makaveli A born leader 10 millimeter

Changing niggas future like a schizophrenic palm reader

Heeds from out the bible I read

See the meek shall inherit the earth

And the strong will lead

Hittin' weed like it alright

I'm in the studio making music all night

My enemies cry whenever I rise they hated 'til death

Try to beat me out my last breath

What cha gonna do?

Now what cha gonna do? When my niggas come for you

(What ya gonna do)

Now what cha gonna do? When my niggas come for you

(What ya gonna do)

Now what cha gonna do? When my niggas come for you

(What ya gonna do)

Now what cha gonna do? When my niggas come for you

(What ya gonna do)

When my niggas come for you

Now what cha gonna do? When my niggas come for you

(What ya gonna do)

Now what cha gonna do? When my niggas come for you

(What ya gonna do)

No, no

Picture of perfection, the object of a nigga affection

Partners in passionate sex, a place to put my erection

Fantasies of you in submission, freaky positions

Pushin', pullin' and twistin' I'm on a mission got me on the mash

Tried to dig, you was screamin' when I did

Steady yellin' out spots for me to hit, and "aw shit"

Soon as I seen her saw us playin' hide the weiner

Wanna "Freak Like Me", fuck Adina

Up and down is the object, side to side

Make you holla out my name when a thug nigga ride, "Can I cum inside?"

Say you don't feel it that's a lie, you just scared to get this

Penitentiary dick, the trot caught your eye

When I walked by, I said, "Hi"

But you was so shy, I can't lie, damn near stuttered when you walked by

You want me to lick it and even worse

Got your heart set on me goin' first, and that ain't no fair exchange

Only one thing that you, can do, for me

Baby you can treat me right, we can do it all the night

Nothin' more than our fair exchange

Hit my G-spot and make, me scream, your name

You can do whatever you want, I got what I want and gone

Nothin' more than our fair exchange

Open your legs

Got me marchin' like it's a million, you tremble from the feelin'

Look up, cause I got mirrors on the ceilin'

And if you willin', then we can ride until the sun shine

And just for fun, I betchu I can make you cum 61 times

Close your eyes, let me heat it up

Cause when we fuck I refuse to bust a nut until I beat it up

Drop the top, time to fuck while the wind blow

Baby throw yo' legs out the window

Remember on the balcony, bend over baby bounce on me

And let me hit it where it counts and flee

Remember me? "I Get Around, " and I'm haunted by my "Temptations"

Sexual participation, my motivation

Even though I like the way you work it

You don't deserve it cause you walk around actin' like you perfect

Took a while but I finally got it, and like a boss player

Bitch you ain't doin' me no favors

Fair exchange

Only one thing that you, can do, for me

Baby you can treat me right, we can do it all the night

Nothin' more than our fair exchange

Hit my G-spot and make, me scream, your name

You can get whatever you want, I got what I want and gone

Nothin' more than our fair exchange

Now yo' attitude ain't realistic

Yeah it's true I'm gettin' pussy, but baby you gettin' dick!

And since you bein' laced with the penetration

It's only right to show a form of appreciation

Instead of fakin' like you can't hear the bed shakin'

In bed naked you so twisted think yo' legs breakin'

You said take it so I'm blind in my passion, how long will I last?

Doggy style steady pumpin' on that ass, until I blast

And then I laugh as we lay back

See I wait 'til you asleep and that's the payback

Cause you actin' like you did somethin', givin' me a piece

I had you mufflin' your screams in the sheets, fuckin' with me

A true digger that love triggers, a thug nigga

Hustlin' bitches like drug dealers

Before I say goodbye, put an end to all the games

Here's my number for another fair exchange

, for me

Baby you can treat me right, we can do it all the night

Nothin' more than our fair exchange

Hit my G-spot and make, me scream, your name (make me scream baby)

You can get whatever you want, I got what I want and gone

Nothin' more than our fair exchange

Only one thing that you (whatever you want), can do, for me

Baby you can treat me right (can you do me), we can do it all the night

Nothin' more than our fair exchange

Hit my G-spot and make, me scream, your name

You can get whatever you want, I got what I want and gone

Nothin' more than our fair exchange

Fair exchange

No one, gives me lovin' (lovin')

Quite like you do (No one gives me lovin' like you do)

No one, gives me lovin'

Quite like you do (that I knows, you know, you love, I love)

(The things that I'ma do, to you)

Hey 'Pac, it's yo' boy

Hey man so far I've been listenin' to your album

And I ain't heard nothin' you could kick back and smoke a beadie to

You know?

Yeah like that

Some of that mellow shit

Some of that shit that make bitches drink

Make niggas think

And help you check a fat-ass bank,

So why don't you kick some of that shit, nigga only you know how

Ha feel me?

I'm barely standin, and plus my secondhand say it's midnight

Some Alize and Cristal guaranteed to get right

Like misdemeanors is a small thang

With DJ Quik in this bitch, I let my balls hang

Runnin' through the street lights, 'cause we like, yo nigga

Get your mobb on show 'em what a G like

Around the corner it's like Vegas, or better yet like Reno

Niggas poppin, welcome to our casino, 'cause you and me know

Hundred percent like a c-note

Lookin' for a bitch that's half-black and Filipino

And when I meet her I'ma offer her some indo

Tongue-kissing on the window of a pearl white limo

Don't wanna be your man, I'm your nigga

Touch me here, I'll get bigger

While I'm diggin' I'll get deep into your liver

I'm game type

Love fuckin' bitches in the same night

My words are aphrodisiacs if you say 'em right

The club be poppin' so I'm stoppin' at the Fat Burger

Look through the paper it's another black crack murder

The city's full of surprises, you can live or you can die

You can fuck on the first night, or try, in the late night

Last night last night changed it all

In the late night!

Last night

I don't give a fuck, where you gon' be

?

In the late night!

Last night last night changed it all

In the late night!

Last night

I don't give a fuck, where you gon' be

?

In the late night!

Around my way we lamp, many styles get cramped

I clock rocks in the rain 'til my socks is damp

Ain't nothin' like bein' a thug when I can just

Sit on the Row of Death straight knowin' that I'm blessed

Hussein Fatal, flawless fatality

Overdosin' on crime, three steps from reality

Get up to get down, represent your town, last night

Was poppin' like like cocked Glocks with hollow-tip rounds

From booty calls to bail sheets, it ain't no tellin'

If I wake up in the county in my jail sheets

My intuitions and ambitions up in the late night

Probably involves me comin' up with just to see another day

Might be me who bites the bullet

In these streets where a man journey

With crooked cops and a society who tryin' to burn me

I'm like a pit in a cage, spittin' my shells in a gauge

Deadly as AIDS, niggas gettin' crossed like a maze

Now picture me livin' my life like a king, maybe one day

Until then I'm livin' Monday through Sunday

Bringin' the Gunplay for all these beefs and battles

When we collide, I'm a ride on that hide like cattle

Cowards best to skedaddle in the late night

Last night last night changed it all

Last night

I don't give a fuck, where you gon' be

?

Last night last night changed it all

Last night

I don't give a fuck, where you gon' be

?

Money and multiple gunshots are shown, large amps are blown

Niggas in low-lows, pursuin' mo' hoes, then go home

The life of a California star, and when you see me

In the drop-top Jag', how many niggas wanna be me?

Game is automatic, mandatory I sell

To Live or Die, I survive, but with a story to tell

Cause when you gettin' some riches, watch for dumb bitches

They have you labelled a rapist before you get to tongue-kissing

It's a mean world nigga you strapped, or be a throwaway

Will I survive the late night, to see dawn of day?

Nobody knows me, I'm a shadow

My army fatigues made for battle, pockets full of ammo

Cause when I'm out in the streets, I'm on point, where the static?

Too many done died from semis, so now we automatic

I disappear whenever heated, ride whenever needed

For my niggas up in Clentin gettin' weeded

Continue to roll until I'm old, ride until I die

Supply long as you motherfuckers buy

My homies rolled by in a bucket, but they ain't short and duckin'

Slappin' niggas known for tellin' bitches fuck it in the late night

Last night last night changed it all

It's in the late night!

Last night

I don't give a fuck, where you gon' be

?

In the late night!

Last night last night changed it all

Holla at me in the late night!

Last night

I don't give a fuck, where you gon' be

Haha

For all my niggas in the hood (yeah!)

Livin' the life of a ghetto star

(You know) You know how we do it hahaha

Makaveli

Just holla my name and witness game official

Niggas is so ashamed they stand stiff like scared bitches

While I remain inside a paradox called my block

Though gunshots is promised to me, when will I stop?

I hit the weed and hope to God I can fly high

Witness my enemies die when I ride by, they shouldn't have tried

I send they bodies to they parents up North

With they faces, they wrists, and they nuts cut off

Fuck 'em all what I scream as I dream in tongues

Fuck a trick, get me rich and the bitches'll come

Bust my gun, make 'em all scatter

Bullets to my nuts only made my balls fatter

Eat a dick, biyotch mercy, never that, you say you comin' back?

Bring it on, forever strapped

Introduce you to the pleasure and the pain, you can go so far

Just sell me your soul, and live the life (of a ghetto star)

I live the life of a thug nigga, drug dealer livin' game tight

Mug niggas, slug niggas for the fame life

Laced with game, practice on takin' pain

Quick to slang, and let it rain through yo' brain

Street smart, proficient, intelligent

And keep suckers hittin' 'til snitches start smellin' it

Movin' niggas with telekinesis

Keepin' Channel 7 at work, filmin' different features

Leadin' niggas to an early death with they head blown

And to those who didn't make it to the morgue was just dead and gone

And hope niggas got punished

Kidnapped, jacked in the back with MAC's to they neck, rappers waitin to get done in

Back, we tossed his ass out

M.O.B. related, one mo' nigga found shot up with his dick in his mouth

Printed my name in these streets as a motherfuckin' G

Now the next generation's lookin' at me through (?)

Walkin' through the cemetery, talkin' to my homies that was buried

See my enemies wanna see me dead, I ain't worried, forgive me

Please give me shelter, calm my fears

Lifted my head, from my hands, had a palm of tears

I see bodies gettin' splashed, with acid

2 shots rang from the plastic Glock, wrapped in plastic

Buried the bastard, time to notify

His family, sheeit, ain't nothing left to be identified

Evacuate the crime scene fast

Why, I heard the Feds had a warrant for my ass

Why, I won't touch down 'til I see Tijuana

Set up shop selling them crooked cops marijuana

Label me a success, I made the switch

Retired from the life that never gave me shit

Put cash that I couldn't spend, countless cars

An addict for a wife, my life, as a ghetto star

Got the word that some nerds wanna plot on this

Hit the curve, let it swerve, had to stop they grip

No remorse, no repentance as I buck one down

Straight to the morgue cause I plan on, shuttin' shit down

Born soldier, fucked 'em up with a MAC-fo'

Torn ligaments, all up in that nigga shoulder

And a vest couldn't protect that flesh

Cause I got, slugs, to knock the air out your chest

Death, apparently they wasn't sucka free

Cause I had all them wannabe thug niggas in protective custody

I guess they heard that I got them birds

Thought I was a nerd 'til I bucked one of them to the curb

Luxury livin' lavish, with dreams of dyin' rich

With a team and clientele on my mothafuckin' dick

And gettin' down on these snitch bitches, protectin' riches

By givin' stitches, the life as a ghetto star

When I grow up I wanna be like them

My life as a ghetto star

When I grow up I wanna be like them

My life as a ghetto star

When I grow up I wanna be like them

Live my life as a ghetto star

When I grow up I wanna be like them

And live my life as a ghetto star

When I grow up I wanna be like them

Live my life as a ghetto star

When I grow up I wanna be like them

And live my life as a ghetto star

This goes out to all you motherfuckers (to all you motherfuckers)

That STILL, have to kill to make that money (still, I'll be puttin' down)

All you niggas on the block, sellin' rocks

Hand to hand, runnin' from the police (sellin' motherfuckin' dopes)

(Smokin' weed)

I see you

Live your life as a ghetto star

(look at these tramp ass hoes) Talk to the hood

Claimin' gettin' riches

(spank bitches ain't new)

Runnin' from new playa haters. (any fake ass niggas)

Live my life as a ghetto star

(this is still 70 south)

Niggas with two strikes that don't wanna see the third (nah), I feel you

It's the Don Makaveli - live my life as a ghetto star

They got a nigga shedding tears, reminiscin on my past fears

Cause shit was hectic for me last year

It appears that I've been marked for death

My heartless breath, the underlying cause of my arrest

My life is stressed, and no rest forever weary

My eyes stay teary for all the brothers that are buried in the cemetery

Shit is scary, how black on black crime legendary

But at times unnessecary, I'm gettin worried

Teardrops and closed caskets, the three strikes law is drastic

And certain death for us ghetto bastards

What can we do when we're arrested, but open fire

Life in the pen ain't for me, cause I'd rather die

But don't cry through your despair

I wonder if the Lord still cares, for us niggaz on welfare

And who cares if we survive

The only time they notice a nigga is when he clutchin on a four-five

My neighborhood ain't the same

Cause all these little babies goin crazy and they sufferin in the game

And I swear it's like a trap

But I ain't given up on the hood it's all good when I go back

Hoes show me love, niggaz give me props

Forever hop cause it don't stop... on my block

Now shit's constantly hot, on my block, it never fails to be gunshots

Can't explain a mother's pain, when her son drops

Black male slippin in hail when will we prevail

Fearin jail but crack sales got me livin well

And the system's sucidal with this Thug's Life

Stayin strapped forever strapped in this drug life

God help me, cause I'm starvin, can't get a job

So I resort to violent robberies, my life is hard

Can't sleep cause all the dirt make my heart hurt

Put in work and shed tears for my dead peers

Mislead from childhood where I went astray

Till this day I still pray for a better way

Can't help but feel hopeless and heartbroke

From the start I felt the racism cause I'm dark

Couldn't quit the bullshit make me represent

Hit the bar and played the star, everywhere I went

In my heart, I felt alone out here on my own

I close my eyes and picture home... on my block

And I can't help but wonder whhhy, so many young kids had to die

Caught strays from AK's and the driveby

Swollen pride and homicide, don't coincide

Brothers cry for broken lives, mama come inside

Cause our block is filled with danger

Used to be a close knit community but now we're all cold strangers

Time changes us to stone them crack pipes

All up and down the block exterminatin black life

But I can't blame the dealers

My mama's welfare check has brought the next man chrome wheels

Shit's real, I know ya feel, my tragedy

A single mother with a problem child, daddy free

Hangin out pickin up game, sippin cheap liquor

Gamin the hoochies hopin I can get to sleep with her

It's a man's world, stayin strapped

Fantasies of a nigga livin phat, but held back

Pipe dreams can make the night seem hopeless

Wide eyed and losin focus... on my block

And block parties in tha projects lastin way past daylight

A young nigga learned to break nine

Used to play fight with my homies but they stuck in the pen

I send them ends, but it's tough on a friend, in my mind

I see the same motherfuckers ballin

Alcohol will make a lazy nigga slip and fall, miss his call

I know the young niggaz understand this

Growing up in this world where everything is scandalous

I reminisce on tha fast times, past crimes

Tryin to cop a slice of pizza with my last dime

Can't explain, just what attracts me to this dirty game

Gold chains, some extra change, and the street fame

And what's strange is that everybody knows my name, swear they all know me

And lots of cash make a nigga change

I hit the green just to maintain, feelin pain

For all the niggaz that I lost to the game... from my block

Shit, tired of getting shot at

Tired of getting chased by the police and arrested

Niggas need a spot where we can kick it

A spot where we belong, that's just for us

Niggas ain't gotta get all dressed up and be Hollywood

You na'mean?

Where do niggas go when we die?

Ain't no heaven for a thug nigga, that's why we go to Thug Mansion

That's the only place where thugs get in free and you gotta be a G

At Thug Mansion

A place to spend my quiet nights, time to unwind

So much pressure in this life of mine, I cry at times

I once contemplated suicide and would of tried

But when I held that 9, all I could see was my moma's eyes

No one knows my struggle, they only see the trouble

Not knowing it's hard to carry on when no one loves you

Picture me inside the misery of poverty

No man alive has ever witnessed struggles I survived

Praying hard for 'Better Dayz', promise to hold on

Me and my dogs ain't have a choice but to roll on

We finally found a spot to kick it

Where we can drink liquor and no one bickers over trick shit

A spot where we can smoke in peace, and even though we G's

We still visualize places, that we can roll in peace

And in my mind's eye I see this place, the players go in fast

I got a spot for us all, so we can ball, at 'Thugz Mansion'

Ain't no place I'd rather be

Children, dead homies and family

Sky high, iced out paradise

In the skyyyyyyyyyy.

Ain't no place I'd rather be

Only place that's right for me

Chromed out mansion in paradise

In the skyyyyyyyyyy.

Will I survive all the fights and the darkness?

Trouble sparks, they tell me home is where the heart is, dear departed

I shed tattooed tears and couldn't sleep good

For multiple years, witness peers catch gunshots

Nobody cares, seen the politicians ban us

They'd rather see us locked in chains, please explain

Why they can't stand us, is there a way for me to change?

Or am I just a victim of things I did to maintain?

I need a place to rest my head

With the little bit of homeboys that remains, cause all the rest dead

Is there a spot for us to roll, if you find it

I'll be right behind ya, show me and I'll go

How can I be peaceful? I'm comin from the bottom

Watch my daddy scream peace while the other man shot him

I need a house that's full of love when I need to escape

The deadly places slingin drugs, in thug's mansion

Ain't no place I'd rather be

Children, dead homies and family

Sky high, iced out paradise

In the skyyyyyyyyyy.

Ain't no place I'd rather be

Only place that's right for me

Chromed out mansion in paradise

In the skyyyyyyyyyy.

Dear Mama don't cry, your baby boy's doing good

Tell the homies I'm in Heaven and they ain't got hoods

Seen a show with Marvin Gaye last night, it had me shook

Drinking peppermint Schnapps, with Jackie Wilson, and Sam Cooke

Then some lady named Billie Holiday

Sang sitting there kicking it with Malcolm, 'til the day came

Little LaTasha sure grown

Tell the lady in the liquor that she's forgiven, so come home

Maybe in time you'll understand only God can save us

When Miles Davis cutting loose with the band

Just think of all the people that you knew in the past

That passed on, they in heaven, found peace at last

Picture a place that they exist, together

There has to be a place better than this, in Heaven

So right before I sleep, dear God, what I'm asking

Remember this face, save me a place, in 'Thugz Mansion'

Ain't no place I'd rather be

Children, dead homies and family

Sky high, iced out paradise

In the skyyyyyyyyyy.

Ain't no place I'd rather be

Only place that's right for me

Chromed out mansion in paradise

In the skyyyyyyyyyy.

This some more new shit

Huh, I swear I'll never call you b again

Believe that

This that new shit I wrote for the true sisters

They said I kept saying "bitch" too much

So I got this new shit for y'all

I swear I never call you bitch again

They gave my homie ninety days for domestic violence

I try to picture myself in this position but remain silent

I get to thinkin' 'bout the shit we been through

We close like kin, but you remain my friend too

This life of sin done got the both of us in trouble

But you always stay down for a nigga, so that's why I love you

Reminiscin' needin' tissues, fightin' over childish issues

Swear I can't live with you, but without you, everyday I miss you

When we roll you hold my pistol, my gangsta bitch-itch

You always in the mood for love, that's why I'm sleepin' with you

Though not the man of your dreams

My plan and scheme's to be rich like a king

And live my life trouble free, I see

Yesterday I called you names and played games on your mind

I promise that I'll change in time

It's a complicated world, so girl, just be a friend

I swear I'll never call you bitch again, believe me

Uh, never, Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh

I swear I'll never call you bitch again, believe me

I wake up early in the mornin', at the crack of dawn

Nigga still tired so I'm yawnin', and now I'm gone

Tryin' to get my money on strong, so an early riser

Out before them other guys, that's the way to profit every time

Can't get too close my enemies, they see ghosts, they envy me

Plus we been beefin' with the East Coast, with casualties

Got stopped in traffic, had a warrant, so they gaffled me

But while I'm gone, watch my business and my back for me

My enemies think they got me crossed, they ain't knowin'

Ain't no love for player haters where you cowards goin'

Got me out of jail, paid bill, home again

I swear not to leave you on your own again

That cristal corks are popped, romantic thoughts are dropped

It's so frantic but don't panic, cause we crossed the top

Told you young lady "you a woman and friend"

I swear I'll never call you bitch again, believe me (That's my word)

Uh, uh

Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh

I swear I'll never call you bitch again, believe me

Now give me "How You Want It"

Looking for these better days

Better days, hey

Better days

Got me thinkin' 'bout better days

Better days, better days, better days

Hey, better days

Got me thinking 'bout better days

Time to question our lifestyle, look how we live

Smoking weed like it ain't no thing, so even kids wanna try now

Then lie down and get ran through

Nobody watches 'em clocking, the evil man do

Faced with the demons, addicted to hearin' victims screamin'

Guess we was evil since birth, product of cursed semens

Cause even our birthdays, are cursed days

A born thug in the first place, the worst ways

I'd love to see the block in peace

With no more dealers and crooked cops

The only way to stop the beast

And only we can change

It's up to us to clean up the streets

It ain't the same, too many murders

Too many funerals and too many tears

Just seen another brother buried, plus I knew him for years

Passed by his family but what could I say?

Keep your head up and try to keep the faith

And pray for better days

Better days, better days

Hey, better days

Got me thinkin' 'bout better days

Better days, better days, better days

Hey, better days

Got me thinkin' 'bout better days

Thinkin' back as an adolescent

Who would have guessed, that in my future years I'd be stressin'

Some say the ghetto's sick and corrupted

Plus my P.O. won't let me hang with the brothers I grew up with

Tryna keep my head up and stay strong

All my homies slangin' yayo all day long

But they wrong, so I'm solo and so broke

Saving up for some Jordan's, 'cause they dope

I got a girl and I love her but she broke too

And so am I, I can't take her to the place she wanna go to

So, we argue and playfight, all day and night

Makin' passionate love 'til the daylight

Plus we about to get evicted, can't pay the rent

Guess it's time to see who really is your friend

You tell me you pregnant and I'm amazed

So many blessings while we stressin'

Lookin' for them better days (For better days)

Better days, better days

Hey, better days

(Oh, better days)

Thinkin' 'bout better days

(I'm looking for better)

Better days, better days, better days

Hey, better days (Oh, better days)

Got me thinkin' 'bout better days

Now me and you was real cool, hell on them square fools

Since back in high school we was true, me and you

Hardly parted or separated, we stay faded

Affiliated with gang-bangers and still made it

Up in the gym, mess with me, gotta mess with him

Still dressin' like grown men, when rollin'

Out in the dark, smokin' Newports, gamin' marks

Gotta place in my heart, homie stay smart

Locked you up in the pen and gave you three to ten

I send you letters with naked flicks of old friends

Hopin' you well, I know it's Hell

Doin' time in the cell you need mail, when you in jail

And me I'm doin' cool

I settled down had a family, workin' and night school

Every once in a while, I reminisce

And wonder how we ever came to this

I miss the better days

Better days, better days

Hey, better days

Thinkin' 'bout better days

Better days, better days, better days

Hey, better days

Got me thinkin' 'bout better days

I send this one out

To all the homeboys down in, uh, Clinton lockdown

Rikers Island, all them dudes I was, uh, locked up with

E block, F block, lower H

N-I-C in Rikers Island

Downstate

All the peoples I met along the way

Better days is comin' homeboy, keep your head up

Better days, better days

Lookin' for the better days, hey

Better days, mhm (Better days)

Lookin' for the better days (And oh)

Better days, better days

Lookin' for the better days, hey (Haha)

Dear baby, you the picture of perfection

Straight from your million dollar smile

To my attraction to your complexion

No hesitation needed, you got me

Inhalin the aroma of your perfume, and feelin' heated

I move closer to drop the lines of my introduction

Hold out my hand, and grab yo' hand, now we touchin'

My lyrics are poetry

So baby get a ticket to go with me

Thugged out so you notice me

It's a positive attraction; see pictures of us

Layin' butt-naked on the beach, kickin' back relaxin'

And only you can calm the savage beast

Look in my eyes are you surprised that it's me?

I want to make you mine

I'm kissin' on you, tryin to make it different every time (that's right)

I'm so lonely in my bedroom, lookin' at the walls

With your number in my hand, wonderin' should I even call her tonight

Anytime you like, baby you can call me

Need a thug up in yo' life, never find nobody like me

Cause I know what you want, and girl you know I got you

You got what I need, and shorty it's all on you

Baby call on me

Been gettin' nuttin' but bad news, ever since the day you left me

I sit and wonder is there a way, you could forget me

Remember my phone calls, my late visits

Us havin' breakfast in bed, then we straight kick it

Me and you in satin sheets 'til after two

Come take a walk on the wild side, enjoy the view

Whenever we collide it's bound to be a pleasurable time

Makin' love 'til the early light

Sweetheart, don't fight the feelin'

Come get a shot of this plain dealin' and concentrate on the ceiling

It's my intention to brush up

Beware of the fireworks, 'cause everytime we touch

You got what I need, and shorty it's all on you

Baby call on me

Pardon me, but let's be specific

Baby 'cause if you down with me, nigga we can kick it

And let's take trips and ride airplanes

A hundred thousand dollar car on dem gold thangs, so can you hang?

Cause we can be real tight (right)

I got a big suite at the Hyatt if it feel right

My only wish is to be with ya

You got me steady strivin' to get ya fantasizin' of friendly pictures

The pressure's gettin major

I wonder will you answer my call if I page ya

Got me goin' wild with anticipation

Face to face with us locked up in strange places, what will it take?

Cause the heartache be heatbreak, is my prediction

When you falsify and start fake in my position

I'm a careful man, but a player when I ball

Got my eyes on you baby, can I call?

Anytime you like, baby you can call me

Need a thug up in yo' life, never find nobody like me

Cause I know what you want, and girl you know I got you

You got what I need, and shorty it's all on you

Anytime you like, baby you can call me

Need a thug up in yo' life, never find nobody like me

Cause I know what you want, and girl you know I got you

You got what I need, and shorty it's all on you

Says I'm responsible for black smith and wessons [echo]

Putting up on ?? in the military state of mind [echo]

Dangerous like chronic and yard when combined

Time to take you back into time

Follow this here One way out

This black hole For this black soul

Shit is outta control

I'm fighting for my position

To be a fetus in this world I am entering [echo]

And my face is sentencing for repentance [echo]

Before my body was fully formed into a human [echo]

I was already consuming weed

Cause my mom's use to smoke back in the 70's [echo]

And my niggas say We want the fame

C'mon (C'mon)

One thing we all adore

Something worth dying for

Nothing but pain Stuck in this game

Searching for fortune and fame

The one thing we all adore

Something worth dying for

It's been nothing but pain

Stuck in this game Searching for fortune and fame

Though we exist and breathe some believe currency comes to G's

Stresses after battle with success comes greed (echo)

They got me hot When they shot me

Plotted my revenge To increase my ends

Enemies gettin' dropped

Win or lose Red or blue

We must all stay true Play the game nigga

Never let the game play you

And for the fame Niggas change fast

That's a shame What's the game

Lost souls Who controls our brain?

Who can I blame?

The world seems strange at times

Somewhat insane

I'm hoping we can change with time

I'm living blinded

Searching for refinement

Curse, I know death follows me

But I murder him first And worse yet

With each breathe Steps I take

Breathless

Is there a cure for a hustler with a death wish?

Cigar ashes Coaster Crystal glasses

We mash on them jealous bastards

With a ski mask I'm the first one to warn them

Blast it Wrapped in plastic

Bullshitting got his ass hit (outlaws)

Ain't nothing left now Treated like a stepchild

Was not for me

Nothing but busters and bitches (fuck 'em all)

Be rocking beats Fake in fame

Block run and shoot slugs

We throw them back like hardballs

Without the gloves

No love for these fake desperados

And thugs I bleed to envy

Smoke and blow out they blunts

Sipping Henney

Drunk nights And hot days

Cocking my heat shooting it sideways

A wife on the run

Full of common blunts

Unconditionally married To my gun

Fulfillin' my destiny On knees

And ones desires

Be pulling all my cabbage like priors

Stuck in the trance searching for something higher

Fortune and fame One thing we all adore

Something worth dying for

Nothing but pain Stuck in this game

Searching for fortune and fame

The one thing we all adore

Something worth dying for

It's been nothing but pain

Stuck in this game

Searching for fortune and fame

Searching for fortune and fame

Lost in the rain A lose of the game

With life the cost of the game

We forcing the change

Mother fuck flossing the chain

All the blame

Belongs to the part of the brain That we never use nigga

Plus my heart is in pain And if I ever lose homey

Bet I'm at it again

Outlaws don't die

So united we stand

And if family come before

All the fortune and fame

As I walk up in the crib

Laid to rest my head

Say some rhymes to angels

Hope they bless my bed

Hope they bless me the righteous way

Got a homie locked down

Outta town

I sent him a kite today

Man that hate in your heart you gotta cleanse it dog

Praying for my downfall and I can sense it dog

I was passed down the street fame

Like glock clocked and keep aim

Was raised up with a clock box

And I ran with the local street gang

They say the light is faded

But still shine in the dark

You can easy been a man

But you is a boy in your heart

And that's some game that I got

From generation of game

In the road of life dog

We need to switch up lanes

Think about it

One thing we all adore

Something worth dying for

Nothing but pain Stuck in this game

Searching for fortune and fame

The one thing we all adore

Something worth dying for

It's been nothing but pain

Stuck in this game

Searching for fortune and fame

I can't complain

I've seen my fair share of the fame

It won't change me

Now I've got this piece of change

I feel strange I got so used to the hood

That when I finally got out at first it ain't feel good

I was just a baby still retarded from slavery

When we struggle to shovel shit ain't nobody saved me

Ghetto ain't made me I made myself

Poverty raised me thinking ain't no help

I pray for my health my mind and my family too

State of myself my grind and my family crew

Where one hand watches the other

No we ain't blood

But we still real brothers

The struggle is real

Nothing can steal What we build

And that remains the same

Till that day we killed

And that's real Life that I was aimed to be

Love by my family tree

That's fame to me How about it

One thing we all adore

Something worth dying for

Nothing but pain Stuck in this game

Searching for fortune and fame

The one thing we all adore

Something worth dying for

It's been nothing but pain

Stuck in this game Searching for fortune and fame

[Intro: 2Pac]

Ahahha all my homeboys might squabble but we don't fall down (never)

Ahahah yeah!, my homeboys might squabble but we don't fall down

Uh, yeah!, my homeboys might squabble but we don't fall down

Westside, westside

Part two of the war

[Verse 1: 2Pac]

Cross this nigga here, now Biggie tell me who do you fear?

Ain't a livin' soul breathin' shall pump no fear here

My last foe flashed and I mashed his ass

Bastard, fuck with me, bet I blast your ass

So many follow but can't reach me, caught in the maze

Catch 'em, mimickin' my style tryin' to talk this way

Impossible my posse droppin' you, we Death Row riders

No need to beg, motherfucker, ain't no mercy inside us

Feelin' blessed, the richer I get, the more I stress

Smokin' lye watchin' time fly, waitin' for death

Dear God I been feelin' like I'm close to Jesus

Paranoid with my pistols close, smokin' trees

Keep my eyes on my foes, those close to me

Watchin' niggas catch stray, shake, choke and bleed

Me, a mercenary for the street, check my pedigree

Bustin' motherfuckers it's the thug in me

Now niggas talk a lotta Bad Boy shit, then get to squealin'

Bitch made catchin' feelins

[Hook]

Outlaw niggas, are you ready to clown?

My homeboys might squabble but we don't fall down

Screamin' bye bye bitches, untouchable sound

Niggas hide like hoes when we hit your town

Screamin' bye bye bitches, untouchable sound

[Verse 2: Napoleon]

Picture me sippin' on 1-5-1

Drunk than a motherfucker droppin' my gun

Or high as a kite hittin' hoes for fun

But that ain't me, dog, my mind's now clear

And that ain't fair, dog, your heart pump fear

In the state I, shoot you better hide nigga, chute is near

And you know just as well I do

You ain't no killer, so kill that, you wouldn't kill if you had to

We might wobble, but we don't fall down

We take the gospel from Makaveli, pass it around

Holla "let's hit", we gon' taste the power

We started the thug trend, the game is ours

Now we coast together, put our thoughts together

Won't question when we die together

Cause the hour soon to come

Kadafi trained soldier, I show you how to use your gun

Bring it

[Hook]

Outlaw niggas, are you ready to clown?

We yellin' "M-A-D-E N-I-double G-As

Motherfuckas, and we here to stay

From curb surfin', we workin' the industry, you kiddin' me

It's really nothing to me and my king, you see

We in the big things, eat a dick man, if you're hatin'

We're gonna ride 'til the wheels fall off, pay attention

Screamin' "Bye bye bitches, untouchable sound"

Ride or die niggas, and we huntin' you down

Representin' all the real niggas stuck in the trap

Bangin' out with the po-po, tryin' to get to some more

Street life, young strugglers racin' the clock

Ain't no tellin' when it all can end, roll a rock

That's the world with feelings, this a man's world youngin

The bitches in business, so learn a little something

Hey, stop runnin' your mouth, you're on the verge of squealin'

Bitch made catchin' feelins

[Hook]

Outlaw niggas, are you ready to clown?

My homeboys might squabble but we don't fall down

Screamin' bye bye bitches, untouchable sound

My homeboys might squabble but we don't fall down

Screamin' bye bye bitches, untouchable sound

Niggas hide like hoes when we hit your town

[Verse 4: Yaki Kadafi]

Everybody's a gangsta, but don't put in work

Instead of puttin' on the armor, niggas put on skirts

These drugs ain't helpin', it only makin' it worse

And the streets ain’t got nothing for me but a hearse

I can't trust the church or the mosque, I can only trust God

And to tell you the truth I gotta ride

I only roll with the real

Cause rollin' with the fake got my loved ones killed

[Hook]

Outlaw niggas, are you ready to clown?

[Intro: 2Pac]

I don't know why I be fuckin wit' you

[Verse 1: 2Pac]

Was it the liquor, that makes me act blind? Times that I'm with her

Anonymous pictures of other niggas tryin' to kiss her

Will I love her or shall I diss her?

I'm sick of this scandalous shit I deal with

Tryin' to paint a perfect picture

My memories of jealousy no longer carefree

Cause so much bullshit your girlfriends keep tellin' me

I'm on tour, but now my bedroom's an open door

So it got me thinkin', what am I tryin' for?

When I was young I was so very dumb, eager to please

A lil' trick on a mission tryin' to get in my p's

Me and my niggas is thug niggas, former known "drug dealers"

We don't love bitches and believe they don't love niggas

I gotta blame my attraction

But you became a distraction, a threat to my paper stackin'

I thought you changed but now I know

Can't turn a ho into a housewife, baby, and there you go

[Chorus: Jazze Pha]

There you, there you go, actin' like a ho

There you, there you go, actin' like a ho

There you, there you go, actin' like a ho

Actin' like a ho, actin' like a ho

Ho! See the word on the streets you're a

Ho! Just a groupie on a world tour

Ho! Now I found out for myself you're a

Ho! Girl you need to check yourself

[Verse 2: Kastro]

These silly bitches got this game twisted

So I don't claim 'em, just bang 'em

Papa raised a playa, so playa, I play her

Mine got hoes that got more hoes than me

So how I look, gettin' hooked, like I ain't got G?

Truly cutie booty big, but that ain't enough

And a head make me beg, still that just ain't enough

When I don't trust her, bitch be lyin' too much

She be dyin' to fuck me, you be buyin' her stuff, ho

[Verse 3: Yaki Kadafi]

See girlfriend I know, your whole M.O.'s preoccupied with mostly

Gettin' clown after clown, town coast to coast, see

I been tryin' to stay away from sluts like you

Got me turned off completely by that sheisty shit that you do

Knew from jump yo' aim

Straight through them spandex, don't front just name

Spots on yo' body for me to touch while you clutch this game

I keep flowin' like H20, it ain't nothin' for me to say

Why you keep actin' like a ho? But there you go

[Chorus: Jazze Pha]

There you, there you go, actin' like a ho

There you, there you go, actin' like a ho

There you, there you go, actin' like a ho

Actin' like a ho, actin' like a ho

Ho! See the word on the streets you're a

Ho! Just a groupie on a world tour

Ho! Now I found out for myself you're a

Ho! Girl you need to check yourself

[Verse 4: Young Noble]

Uhh, when I first met her I told her I was busy all the time

Now she callin' me flippin' like she miss me all the time

How she don't even trip? She got a man at home

You need to stop chasin' dick bitch and raise your son

I'm like "Damn!" We can creep sometime

And you know I'm on the road for like weeks at a time

Girl you're thirsty, and stop callin'

While I'm workin' you hurtin' me, All this bullshit is irkin' me girl

But there you go

[Verse 5: Big Syke]

I blame it on yo' momma, she need to holla at you

Or should I blame it on yo' daddy for all the things that you do?

(Things that you do)

Cause there you go, just like a ho, caught in the streets

Like givin' yo' number out to every nigga you meet

I'm tired of the games you playin', so stop playin' (ho)

You hear what I'm saying, you only good for parlayin'

I'm layin' down the rules, this a game that you lose

So the streets can have you baby, 'cause I stay on the move

[Chorus: Jazze Pha]

There you, there you go, actin' like a ho (There you go!!)

There you, there you go, actin' like a ho (Actin' like a real ho)

There you, there you go, actin' like a ho

Actin' like a ho, actin' like a ho

Ho! See the word on the streets you're a

Ho! Just a groupie on a world tour

Ho! Now I found out for myself you're a

Ho! Girl you need to check yourself

[Outro: 2Pac]

There you go baby girl, that's the story

There you Motherfuckin' go

And you don't wanna go to clubs no more and

You wasn't fin' to dress all crazy no more and

You was gon' stay home and try to chill

What happened baby?

Ohh, so yo' friend wanted to go out

That wasn't you that went out

You was just goin' out 'cause yo' friend was

Okay, so you was pissy drunk up in that nigga car

Cause yo' friend wanted to get drunk huh?

It's all good, 'cause there you go baby

Oh I ain't trippin' on them niggas callin' the house

It's all good, 'cause there you go

Me I'ma still be a player, all day baby

So uhh, there you go

[Chorus: Jazze Pha]

There you, there you go, actin' like a ho

There you, there you go, actin' like a ho

There you, there you go, actin' like a ho

Actin' like a ho, actin' like a ho

Ho! See the word on the streets you're a

Ho! Just a groupie on a world tour

Ho! Now I found out for myself you're a

Ho!

This motherf***ing life I lead

S***

A hell of motherf***ing road blocks and crooked cops

We still ride though

What side? West side

I want money in large amounts my garage full of cars that bounce

Movin' my tapes in major ways 'cause every dollar counts

Bustas is jealous and half these n****s is punks

They runnin' off at the mouth till I fill up with my pump

They jump my automatic keep 'em weary

While you fronting like you billy bad a** n**** you scary

I been knowing you for years we was high school peers in junior high

I was itchin' to kill and you was ready to die

While you bulls***ting n****s was dying and catching cases

Busting my automatics at motherf***ers in foreign places

Leaving no trace they see my face and then they buried

Them b****es die in a hurry still I ride I'm never worried

Mr. Makaveli tell me to ride and I'm a ride

Pick my enemies out the crowd and muthaf***as die

It's not the way I wanna live my n**** it's how it is

Homie got into a fight last night they killed his kids

In this life I lead fiend for currency get high off weed

Collect G's make my enemies bleed

For that family I'll send that a** straight to God

And in this life I lead I've seen the most of my 23 years

My vision is blurry the money is clear

Some of my peers eternally will sleep in a coffin

And when noble on the road I'm extremely cautious

It happened that fast split second you're gone

At the top of my tombstone put 'Noble is raw'

Outlaw till I'm under the floor for Kadafi the prince

I stack dough like a clock on the bricks

With a watch on my wrist dog

I know the time these days we outlaws

We gonna die this way

We already in the history books

Pac made sure of that whateva you took we taking it back

You know it's all for the foundation

Outlaws we still building the thug nation holla at your homie

I'm a New Jers Devil the street created rebel

Only got one shot to produce on every level

This is Maximus go to the max I must

N**** I came from not much so money I clutch you huh

Napoleon the strength of strong arm

With a dick they whistle and ride I put a move up on

I'm a hardcore product of the ghetto

Been blessed fo' sho to eat from out the ghetto

I maneuver in the right lane quick to push back lanes

Switch it to the left lane I play with my hands

And I'm plotting on the fortune, it's gettin' hot and scorching

I'm thinking like a scorpion that torturing an enemy

In this life I lead fiend for currency get high off weed

Collect G's make my enemies bleed

When you see me n**** holla my set and watch 'em ride

Outlaw mother f***ers till we die

In this life I lead fiend for currency get high off weed

Collect G's make my enemies bleed

When you see me n**** holla my set and watch 'em ride

Outlaw mother f***ers till we die in this life I lead

Now with this outlaw lifestyle that I've been introduced to

Money and hoes keep us closer to Lucifer

Steady seducing us and I'm all for it

It's the life for me and the law can't spoil it

So you can call it what the f*** you want

But I'm a baller alcoholic with a sawn off pump

My mamma ain't raise no punk

And even dead Pac so when I jump off I breathe for yak

Been puttin' in work so I walk with a bop

And it safe at home so I sleep with a glock

Thug living ugh what the f*** would be better

I do my dirt with the family so we dying together

We on a mission for mo'

Gangsta s*** on you hoes

We ain't f***ing with you lawyers

Crossing n****s up out there dough

Trying to live Godzilla

Edi went from a bad boy to a anybody killer

Look out wanted man guns in hand

Stand firm nuts are my pride now let's burn

Bound and profound going down swinging

Holding my ground we the last ones breathing

No stopping till we eating deep in the trenches

So many killings it's senseless

So in this life I lead I stay protected my God

My squad and this thing in my palm

Now all my hustling motherf***ers

Get your money sing along

In this life I lead fiend for currency get high off weed

You know what time it is

West Side, death row

Dogg pound

Everybody killer, bad boy killer, killer

Anybody killer

F*** all y'all n****s

If it ain't West Side n**** it ain't Pac

That's on my momma

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?

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

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?

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 Armageddon, 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'

Faith in Allah, believe in me and this plastic

Cause so far I done witnessed to many dead niggas 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

Now tell me

Faith in Allah, believe in me and this plastic

Cause so far I done witnessed to many dead niggas 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

Now tell me

Who do you believe in?

Is it Buddha, Jehovah, or Jah?

Or Allah?

Is it Jesus? Is it God? Or is just yourself?

Definitely 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

Who do you believe in?

I put my faith in God, blessed and still breathin'

Who do you believe in? Put my faith in God, and

Blessed and still breathin'

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?)

Who do you believe in? (Who do you believe in?)

Who do you (Blessed and still breathin')

Oh blessed, oh blessed

(Before I'm leavin' I'm askin' the grievin' - who do you believe in?)

Oh who do you

Do you believe in

Oh, Oh

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?

I'm askin' (Who do you believe in?)

I'm askin' you (Put my faith in God)

(That's who I believe in)

(Before I'm leavin' I'm askin' the grievin', who do you believe in?)

Who do you believe in?

I'm blessed and still breathin'

That's who I believe in

Before I'm leavin', I'm askin' the grievin'

Who do you believe in?

Y'all ain't never just tripped and pictured

And just looked at the whole situation

Cause once u look at it

You know

(Once you really do)

They don't give a fuck about us

They don't give a fuck about us

They don't give a fuck about us

If I choose to ride

Thuggin' till the day I die

Nobody give a fuck about us

But when I start to rise

A hero in they children's eyes

Now they give a fuck about us

Some say niggaz is hard headed cause we love to trick

Equipped with game so we bang wit this thuggish shit

I see you trying to hide, Hoping that nobody don't notice

You must always remember you're still a member of the hopeless

See ya black like me, So you snap like me

When these devils try to plot, Trap our young black seeds

Look it, Cops are just as crooked as the niggas they chasin'

Lookin' for role models, Our father figures is bases

Some say they expect Illuminate take my body to sleep

Niggas at the party with they shotties, Just as rowdy as me

Before I flee computer chips, I gotta deal wit brothas flippin'

I don't see no devils bleedin', Only black blood drippin'

We can change, whatcha now say?

I'm watchin' niggaz work their lives out without pay (huh)

Whatever it takes to switch places wit the bustas on top

I'm bustin' shots make the world stop

They don't give a fuck about us

And if I choose to ride

Thuggin' till the day I die

Cause they don't give a fuck about us

But when I start to rise

A hero in they children's eyes

Now they give a fuck about us

And if I choose to ride

Thuggin' till the day I die

Nobody gives a fuck about us

But when I start to rise

A hero in they children's eyes

Now they give a fuck about us

(EDI)

It's the morning after and now all the laughter is gone

Time to reflect on what you did cause they saying you wrong

I'm sure you had your reasons dawg, I don't doubt you

See the simple fact of the matter is they don't give a fuck about you

Or them five mouths you forced to feed (uh-huh)

No including yourself, All you want is wealth they perceiving itas greed

So as you loaded up that mack and continue to buck 'em

I was on paper, Thinking they don't give a fuck about us

(Tupac)

I'm seeing it clearer

Hating the picture in the mirror

They claim we inferior

So why the fuck these devils fear ya?

I'm watching my nation die, genocide the cause

Expect a blood bath, The aftermath is y'alls

I told ya last album, we need help cause we dying

Give us a chance, help us advance cause we trying

Ignore my whole plea, watching us in disgust

And then they beg when my guns bust

They don't give a fuck about us

And if I choose to ride

Thuggin' till the day I die

Nobody gives a fuck about us

But when I start to rise

A hero in they children's eyes

Now they give a fuck about us

And if I choose to ride

Thuggin' till the day I die

Nobody gives a fuck about us

But when I start to rise

A hero in they children's eyes

Now they give a fuck about us

(Kastro)

Now all my homies got love for me

Down to catch a slug for me

Guaranteed to bleed deeply

Now that's love, Shit

Nobody else could give a fuck

If I'm tore down, from the floor down

Six-feet deep in the cut

What the fuck done went wrong

How long will I be mourned?

When I'm gone, same song

Ain't gave a fuck all along

And who am I to blame 'em?

Just do or die through the rainin'

Since they don't give a fuck

I don't, feel what I'm saying?

(Kadafi)

Now thug niggaz die but multiply in doubles

Wrapped in plastic, Or closed casket for our troubles

Present times, We busted like bubbles

With the police, This nation's peace sent here to run you

Now look at what this crooked world has come to

I grew up on the other side of perfect, a life of hurtin'

Man I still hustle, so I'm dyin' certain

So I spent your time in poor and working

I see no reason, So I stay ballin' season to season

Why you stuck thinking that they give a fuck?

(Napolean)

You tell me my world is in peace, but nigga your lying

Cause half of my niggas, long gone,

Buried in the dirt just for trying

Sometimes I think my block is dying, And that it's awful

To wake up to another day, shit ain't change that awful

I wake up sweatin', dreamin', coughin'

Seein' me upside down backwards head twisted

While I'm layin' in the coffin

The shit comes around so often, So tell me something

Before I take it out on the world, and get to dumpin'

Nigga I been so through pain go through the struggle

Doin the same thing you did at my age and that's hustlin'

On the edge of straight bustin'

Well since you don't give a fuck, you frontin'

And I'ma drink my Hennessey like it ain't nothin'

(Tupac)

Now if I choose to ride, thuggin' till the day I die

They don't give a fuck about us

While I'm kickin' rhymes, getting to their children's minds

Now they give a fuck about us

They wanna see us die, they kick us every time we try

They don't give a fuck about us

So while I'm getting high, I'm watching as the world goes by

Cause they don't give a fuck about us

Now if I choose to ride, thuggin' till the day I die

They don't give a fuck about us

While I'm kickin' rhymes, getting to their children's minds

Now they give a fuck about us

They wanna see us die, they kick us every time we try

They don't give a fuck about us

So while I'm getting high, I'm watching as the world goes by

Cause they don't give a fuck about us

Get your money nigga get your money!

Rise my nation rise

They don't give a fuck about us... rise

Get your asses on the right path nigga

They don't give a fuck about us

Get your money nigga get your money!
