[intro:] (2’pac speaks)…
[ka-flame speaks]
see it was bout 2:30 in the morning – i woke up – i was like – i had to write this sh-t down real quick – you know – cause i have these thoughts sometimes that – i feel like the world need to hear..yea
[hook:]
you can rep the hood that you’re from
you can ride around with them sticks/
you can take over them blocks –
but to “them” you still ain’t sh-t/
you can sell all of them bricks –
you can bang all of them hoes/
but to “them” you ain’t no threat –
you’re just playing the game how it go/
but i’m breaking all of their rules –
and i still stick to my code/
until you fight for your people –
you ain’t understanding your role/
say you k!lling all of your foes?! –
when the smoke gone – is it clearer?/
who the victim favors? – if you need a savior
take a look in the mirror!/…
[1st verse:]
if you ventured off in my mind –
you’d be getting lost in no time/
where you pay respect and you paying homage
and it still won’t cost you a dime/
they done throw’d us off – we in a bind
in a neighborhood thats full of crime/
and its drug infested – so the thugs protect it
on the block – they popping them nines/
what set u claim? – fo they bust ya brain –
leave ya mangled all in the streets/
know you can’t contain – what them n-gg-s brang –
when they get to aiming that heat/
where they shoot them up and they shoot them down –
not a place to live – better move around/
every night we feel – its another fight –
and you just might hear them uzi sounds/
they be moving pounds of that white
f-ck a drought b-tch – you know the price/
that american pie – looking super sweet
and we’re gone scoop a piece or a slice/
got us in a loop we call life –
we done turned the guns on each other/
been brainwashed over time – now
you’ll point the gun at cha brother/
they be k!lling n-gg-‘s on the daily –
if you tuning in to the news/
the government is the biggest gang –
so in the end who gone lose?/
picked up my pen just to choose –
to write about my pain/
my affiliation – rise of nation –
had to do this one for the gangs/…
[hook:]

but to “them” you ain’t no threat –
you’re just playing the game how it go/

you ain’t understanding your role/

[2nd verse:]
ya see they fear a n-gg- like me
cause i’m the type that’ll be/
with gang members on the daily
trying to unify them in the streets/
all the gd’s and the crips
the latin kings and the piru’s/
and every gang in between
we can do this sh-t – if we decide to/
pull up on them and we ride thru
painting the white house black/
take all the money from them rich crac(kkk)a’s
and send them b-tch n-gg-s back/
to the ghettos that we had stay in
and give them back their religion/
they can have all that f-ck sh-t –
and lets burn down their prisons/
or free all of the real ones! –
but death to all of the rapists!/
the ones who slaughtered innocent families
i be d-mn if they can escape this/
see i take this sh-t here strongly
open up ya eyes – if you only/
can see the vision of a visionary –
sick and tired of burying my homies/
come activate with a activist
i’m advocate for my folks/
how you a gangsta when you can’t stand up
for your people who hurting the most!?/
throwing up the b’s! – throwing up the c’s!-
so they banging all over letters?/
just imagine all of the power –
if the gangs all came together?!/…just a thought n-gg-!

[outro: ka-flame]
its a war going on –
but the battle – {we} done lost it/
but {we’re} shooting up each other –
while [they’re] sitting in the office/
[they’re] laughing drinking coffee –
while {we} suffer all the losses/
[they] would make {us} [their] slaves –
before {we’re} ever [their] bosses/… #wakeup
[tu’pac speaks:] about amerikkka’s negligence when it comes to people of color and gang violence…
