lyrics

[Intro 2Pac]
That’s what they want to do
Now Everybody shell shocked
And they having trama
We been having traumatic nights always
I wana get away from it a lot
I tried to get away from it
But you can’t
That’s what they taught me
The streets didn’t teach me
That thug life never dies
The world taught me that
I thought i could retire and move on
But I moved on to the so-called real world
The civilized world
These muthafxckers is worse
Than the nxgggs in the streets


[Intro Chorus ]
Don’t shoot
I got my hands up
Still unlucky if this ends up in handcuffs
Heon’t like me feeling feisty
I’ont trust his tone
Leave me alone
I’m goin’ home
Ayo just my phone
He say what’s that smell?
Well just ma calonge
You gotta weapon?
I said yeah protect my home
So guess its on
And I ain’t fina run From anyone
So if you don’t want problems
Then Don’t give me none
Yeah
Yeah, Yeah
And I ain’t fina run from anyone
So if you don’t want problems
Then don’t give me none

[Verse 1]
First things first
Fxck the liars for the fame
I am on fire
Mr. Pryor is my name
You hate the we are
But Wee were made
The way we are
And every time we try to change
They remind us n complain
That’s right im with Gang
And I do this clear with a purpose
And you would know
If you were here, In this service
From the church to trap and back
To Moving spirits like worship
Now I’m bouta snap
Like pictures do at the circus
Cause you up the clowns
While they run around
My tean run the town
100 rounds
To anybody tryna tell me dumb it down
I rep the P
We to throw up more flags than a referee
My bucks around So If you talk about it
Then you better be
Shhhh
This is where murderers meet the melody
My specialty, In a place I
Thought I would never be
Put it all together
Then take em apart separately
Pince is fina stick up
The richer selfish celebrities
Let yall get ahead of me
So I can take a head or 3
Say I ain’t the best
Might take ya neck
For disrespect me
Won’t catch me slippin naw
Don’t let me get the ball
Cause they know he hit em all
Like curry after his second 3
Im passing em
On my practice
I use to rap for fun
Smack a blunt
Stack a ton
Now watch me flag the fasted one
The cats who talk the most
Usually be the wackest son
Actin, But never get it shmackin
When the action Come
The captain get it crackin
Savvy if you got me pass the rum
The facts are sung
The Devil has no horns
He has a badge and gun
I can’t stand you
Rappers try to act brand new
My pack of animals will come
And rip you out you’re packagin
Started from the bottom
Now i claim what it’s worth
Cheat code to the game
Can’t complain cause it work
Fxck the fame
I just wanna be the change on this earth
But at the same I’m tryna change
But I cain’t cause I’m cursed
So yea I say #Gang
Everytime I cut a verse
0 to 100 yards
Never struggle for a first
If they drop ill resurface
Pray they prolly hear these verses
Cause nobody go church till
There’s bodies in the dirt
Been hurt
So don’t questions on those days i walk with
A crooked smile looking down
Like I’m just a stain on a carpet
Living where sane is awkward
lLsten I paint a portrait
Its seems the laws changed
Police are playin they part when
Shoot he missed
I played dead just see what he’d say sgt.
Said I reached for his gun
I’m thinkin’ that’s straight retarded
Jumped up and I sprayed
And prayed as I departed
Now the war is on us
And they don’t want it what they started
They incaged the same people
I use to play I’m the park wit
I lost it
Shoot with whoever claims me a target
They screaming out snakes
Lil mama’s is saying sausage
I tasted the fruit of knowledge
Saw it ain’t safe in the garden
Thinkin

[Outro Chorus]
Thinkin shoot first
Or put my hands up
I’m still unlucky if this all
Ends up in handcuffs
Heon’t like me feelin feisty
Ion’t trust his tone
Leave me alone
I’m goin home
Ayo that’s just my phone
He say what’s that smell
well that’s just my Calonge
You gotta weapon
I said yea to protect home
So guess its on
and I ain’t fina run from anyone
So If you don’t want problems
Then don’t give me none
Yeah
Let it ride, yeah yeah
And I ain’t fina run from anyone
So If you don’t want problems
Then don’t give me none

Yo
Can you belive theses mufxckers
Be tryna to tell me to watch my mouth
Dawg the president don’t even watch the street
Watch how you talk to me
These mufxckers expect me to be calm in verses?
Dawg.They’re shooting and bombing churches
That could’ve been your mom in service.
God.
