[Tupac - speaking]
The only way, for me to come back, is by Makaveli
That's it! All these m************ stole from me
I'm takin back what's mine
[slowed down voice]
[laughing] You m************ can't stop me
Even if I die, I'm gon' be a f***** problem
Do you believe in ghosts, m***********?
Real live black... ghosts
Feel me?
[Verse One: 2Pac]
Some say I'm crazy, these punk-a** cops can't fade me
Mama tried to raise me, but had too many babies
Papa was a m***********, joke
Used to find dope in his coat
And nearly choked when he'd tell me not to smoke
Daaamn, don't get me started
My mama smoked so God d*** much
when she was pregnant I'm surprised I ain't r*****ed
At night I can't sleep, count sheep
As they pass through the glass of my neighbors five deep
Starin at the wall, heard a scream
Wake up in the mornin
See the blood in the hall from the murder scene
Don't cry, just ask why, and try not to die
As I take you through a ghetto n****'s lullabye
On the corner, where the n***** slang they crack
And the undercovers jack those that don't watch they back
(Five-OH!) I daydream about the dope world
Take a puff from the blunt and watch the smoke swirl
My mausberg goes BOOM, what's another plug
s*****in drugs, pumpin slugs in these other thugs
(GIVE IT UP n****) Don't run out of breath
Every step could be death 'til you blast
And be the last n**** left, then I'll be ghost
[Chorus: 2Pac]
Don't cry, just ask why, and try not to die
As I take you through a ghetto n****'s lullabye
Don't cry, just ask why, and try not to die
As I take you through a ghetto n****'s lullabye
[Verse Two: 2Pac]
A seven-deuce full of n***** goes by
Thought I was trippin the second time they rolled, by
Recognized the plates, the faces looked familiar
Everybody swear they know the n**** that's gonna, kill ya
Don't murder me murder me, killa a n**** in his sleep
Let me die as I rest in peace, deep
Back to these n***** in the seven-deuce
A mac-10 out the window bout to let it loose, what could I do?
Run for cover and return fire
DIE m*********** DIE, hope yo' a** fry, don't ask why
But I let off everything I have
An empty clip, hit the ground as a n**** dash
On my a** was the m*********** cops now
Barely breathin tryin to keep from gettin shot down
BOO-YAOW is the sound, bullet whizzed by
Still runnin like a n**** got nine lives
Don't know why but I'm runnin to my f***** block
Took a shot, tired of runnin from the n***** and the cops
Time to be a ghost
(HEY MAN, COME THE f*** ON!)
And then we'll be ghost
[Chorus]
[Tupac - speaking]
f*** THE POLICE n****! [laughing]
The only way, for me to come back, is by Makaveli
That's it! All these m************ stole from me
I'm takin back what's mine
[slowed down voice]
