Artist | 2Pac |
Album | Loyal to the Game |
Release Date | 2004-12-12 |
Description | The second track of Loyal to the Game features a clip of 2Pac’s last interview before he was gunned down and killed in Las Vegas. This is similar to the first track “Soldier Like Me (Return Of The Soulja)”, which features a clip of a controversial speech he made at the second annual banquet of the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement. Produced by Eminem and featuring Young Noble and E.D.I. Mean, the beat fits with Em’s style, but Pac’s flow works well with it. |
Lyrics | [Intro: 2Pac] I wanted to bring back that reality But nobody can ever be confused and think I'm fuckin Mike Tyson And I'm a heavyweight champion, I'm a little nigga (Right) That's why its so raw to just watch me battle lions 'Cause I'm a little skinny nigga, battlin' niggas three times my size (My size) Watch this uppercut, here it come Watch the jab nigga (Uh), uh Here it come, look out, watch my arms— [Verse 1: 2Pac] Now see so many motherfuckers wanna take a piece Comin' equipped with some shit niggas just can't believe I pull a trick from my sleeve, now kamikaze I'm all over that nigga, come identify the body (Body, haha) My middle finger to you ho niggas Run up on me, and I'll be forced to let it go, nigga (Go, nigga) I ain't the one you wanna try, why? Stayin' high Hit this blunt and watch these motherfuckers die Who's runnin' these streets? I sell that cocaine 'Cause in the dope game, niggas'll die 'fore they go broke, man 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 eight years You doin six and we know that you can't hang You a trick rolled over, turned snitch like a bitch [Chorus: 2Pac] Now you know you should have ducked, nigga Got you fallin' from the uppercut, fucked, so what's up, nigga?
