"i wanted to bring back that reality, but nobody can ever be confused and think I'm fuckin Mike Tyson and im a heavyweight champion, im a little nigga, thats why its so raw to just watch me just battle lions, cause I'm a little skinny nigga battlin' niggas three times my size"

Verse 1 - 2pac
Lets see so many motherfuckers wanna take a piece

i aint the one you wanna try, why, stayin high
i hit the blunt an watch these motherfuckers die
whose runnin the streets i sell that cocaine
cause in the the dope game, niggas'll die 'fore they go broke mayne
another hustler makin' major cash
'til the punk police come raid your ass
now you stressed doin' fed time, and its a bitch
cause the judge gave you 8 years, you doin 6
and we know that you can't hang, you a trick

Verse 2 - 2pac
They got a nigga in the dice game, i'm feelin' lucky

i gotta tell ya like the last nigga, gotta go
No need to run for the trunk, i get em' up

i love my niggas, but i aint puttin down my glock
the gun shots rang when i lose nigga, and ooh nigga

and fuck the rappin motherfucker we can do this
Chorus (x1)
Verse 3 - Outlawz (EDI & Young Noble)
They claim that we violent, we named after tyrants
this revolution wont be televised, we keep it silent (shh)
roll on our enemies, beat em' at they own game
molotov cocktails, releasing up in flames
tired of bein' stepped on, sick of bein' held back
lookin' through my rear view, thinkin' bout the pay back
wanna see my kids grow dont know if imma make it though
one more nigga came up short in the ghetto
society lied to me so im strapped with the metal
push ya middle finger up nigga if you a rebel
have ya face down goin in ya pockets if ya let em
i done lost too many homies for me to ever forget em
i done made so many mistakes but still i dont regret em
im a product of the pimp, the pusher, and the reverend
im a product of the block, the fiends, and the felons
we all lost souls tryina find our way to heaven
Chorus (x1)
Edi talking:
"to all the comrads no longer with us, see you when we get there
'Pac, Yak, we gon' keep on ridin', give these cowards the uppercut
'til we get up there with ya'll, YOU KNOW!..Thug Life we still livin it
Outlaw for life, in the name of the Don, let's go! woo"

Tupac Amaru Shakur, meglio conosciuto come 2Pac o Makaveli, è stato un rapper, attivista e attore statunitense nato a New York nel 1971. Considerato uno dei più grandi esponenti della musica rap, ha lasciato un'impronta indelebile sulla cultura popolare con le sue rime incisive e il suo impegno sociale. La sua vita fu segnata da controversie e difficoltà, culminando tragicamente nella sua morte a soli 25 anni nel 1996. Tra i suoi brani più rappresentativi figurano "Dear Mama", "Changes" e "California Love". L'album "Me Against the World" (1995) è considerato un capolavoro del rap, mentre "All Eyez on Me" (1996), pubblicato postumo, divenne uno dei dischi più venduti di sempre. 2Pac ha collaborato con artisti come Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg e Biggie Smalls, contribuendo a definire l'evoluzione del genere hip-hop negli anni '90.
