2Pac — Life of an Outlaw

[Chorus: Outlawz] In the life we live as thugs Everybody fuckin' with us so can't you see It's hard to be a man Ridin' with my guns in hand [Verse 1: 2Pac] Why explain the game? Niggas ain't listenin', stuck in positions if victims can't stand the heat, then stay the fuck out the kitchen Half these busters switchin', lookin' at me mean, itchin' Givin' suckers plenty space, have these bitch niggas snitchin' Where are we now, guns found daily The Feds trail me in hoax that they could finally nail me For sellin' dope, they backwards make the track burst Whenever I rap, attack Words been known to explode on contact Extreme at times, blinded by my passion and fury Look at me laugh at my competition's flashin' my jewelry You'd stay silent if you niggas knew me, truly effective The shit you heard ain't do me justice, got a death wish, bitch Run, but face being traced, by the infrared beam It seems niggas ain't recognize my team Ain't nobody holdin' you back Explode the track to confetti Unload it, 'cause niggas ain't ready The life of an outlaw [Chorus: Outlawz] In the life we live as thugs Everybody fuckin' with us so can't you see It's hard to be a man Ridin' with my guns in hand [Verse 2: 2Pac] Code 3: attack formation, pull out your pistols Keep an eye out for the devils 'cause they itchin' to get you Merciless madman, screamin' kamikaze in tongue Automatic gunfire, makin' all my enemies run Who should I call when I'm shot and bleedin'? Indeed a possibility that's part of chasin' cream Dope got me hatin' fiends Scheme with my team, just a chosen few My foes victim of explosives, come closer exhale the fumes We got memories, fadin' fast A slave for cash accelerate, mash, blast, then dash Don't look now! How you like it, raw? Niggas ain't ready for the wrath of the Outlawz Never surrender, death before dishonor, stay free I'm thugged out, fuck the world 'cause this is how they made me Scarred but still breathin' believe in me And you could see the victory, a warrior in jewels, will you picture me? Life of an outlaw [Chorus: Outlawz] In the life we live as thugs (No doubt) Everybody fuckin' with us (Yes!), so can't you see (life of an outlaw) It's hard to be a man (Soldiers in position, attack formation) Ridin' with my guns in hand (No retreat, no surrender) [Verse 3: Young Noble] City under siege, it's like I can't even breathe I'm from the state of car thieves G.E.D. from the streets Plenty beef I play for keeps, arrange the whole crime scene Mobb peep! They sneak up from behind tryin' to creep No halfs with no straps, jack, it's on to bounce back An ounce of wrath so bad, it snatched my style on death Tell the gripper I was sent to get ya, snip with clippers Get the picture, I wrote my life down as a scripture [Verse 4: E.D.I. Mean] And still I'm lost in the land of the lonely where ain't nobody holy A matter of a fact, we unholy Everybody livin' soley For themselves, too high strung to lend help To somebody who be needin' it You know we lost hope and he needin' it But the evil it's forever But I'm rappin' low down, scandalous like a tramp is All for the street fame on how to be managed To plan shit 6 months in advanced to what we plotted Approached the goal on swole and now I got it [Verse 5: Kastro] Uh, I crack my window, knowin' they'd love to catch Kastro sleepin' Attach a strap under my pillow, hand to hand like we freakin' Creepin' deep into the mornin' Peepin' out the weak while they yawnin' And let my clout speak for itself No doubt, outlaw, outta my mind outta time you're all blind Some kind of life of mine if K-Dog don't mind Findin' it funny, matter of fact, 'cause it is perhaps Finally I'll adapt to it, over the years as an outlaw [Bridge: 2Pac & Napoleon] Ayy Napoleon What's up, nigga? Would you die for me, nigga? Hell yeah Would you kill for me, nigga? On my grandmother, nigga Ayy, yo What's up Let's ride on them stupid bitches right now Watch out [Verse 6: Napolean] Well, now they all say that vultures and parasites Snakes are all alike, thug life break night Drink 'til we fist fight, life or death But you can't win with a vest Won't be no breathin' for the reason, punk bitch on your breath I see day is dark, and I admit it's dark So chase on the ave., hide your stash, beware from them marks Ayy yo, Makaveli, give me them bullets that was left up in your belly And let me bust back to them niggas 'til they all cold and sweaty [Chorus: Outlawz] In the life we live as thugs Everybody fuckin' with us so can't you see It's hard to be a man Ridin' with my guns in hand In the life we live as thugs Everybody fuckin' with us so can't you see It's hard to be a man Ridin' with my guns in hand In the life we live as thugs Everybody fuckin' with us so can't you see It's hard to be a man Ridin' with my guns in hand In the life we live as thugs Everybody fuckin' with us so can't you see It's hard to be a man Ridin' with my guns in hand
