[Repeat: x2]
I won't deny it, I'm a straight ridah
You don't wanna f*** with me
Got the police busting at me
But they can't do nothing to a G
(Let's get ready to rumble!)
Now you know how we do it like a G
What really go on in the mind of a n****
that get down for theirs
Constantly, money over b******
I won't deny it, I'm a straight ridah
You don't wanna f*** with me
Got the police bustin at me
I won't deny it, I'm a straight ridah
Police bustin at me
I won't deny it, I'm a straight ridah
Got the police bustin at me
I won't deny it, I'm a straight ridah
Not b****** over money
Stay on your grind n****
My ambitions as a ridah!
My ambitions as a ridah!
[2Pac]
So many battlefield scars while driven in plush cars
This life as a rap star is nothing without heart
Was born rough and rugged, addressing the mad public
My attitude was, "f*** it," cause m************ love it
To be a soldier, must maintain composure at ease
Though life is complicated, only what you make it to be
And my ambitions as a ridah to catch her
while she hot, and h****, go up inside her
Then I spit some game in her ear, "Go to the tele hoe"
Equipped with money and a Benz, cause b**** I'm barely broke
I'm smoking bomb-a** weed feeling crucial
From player to player, the game's tight, the feeling's mutual
From hustling and prayers, to breaking m************ to pay-up
I got no time for these b******, cause these hoes tried to play us
I'm on a meal-ticket mission, want a mil', so I'm wishing
Competition got me ripped, on that bullshit they stressing (boo-ya!)
I'ma rhyme though, clown hoes like it's mandatory
No guts no glory my n**** b**** got the game distorted
Now it's on and it's on because I said so
Can't trust a b**** in the bidness so I got with Death Row
Now these money hungry b****** getting suspicious
Started plotting and planning on schemes, to come and trick us
But Thug n***** be on point and game tight (yeah)
Me, Syke and Bogart, wrap it up the same night
Got problems then handle it, m************ see me
These n***** is jealous cause deep in they heart they wanna be me
Uhh, yeah, and now ya got me right beside ya
Hopin you listen I catch you payin attention
to my amibitions as a ridah
[Chorus: 2Pac]
I won't deny it, I'ma straight ridah
You don't wanna f*** with me
My ambitions as a ridah
Got the police busting at me
But they can't do nothing to a G
(I won't deny it, I'ma straight ridah)
Peep it, it was my only wish to rise
above these jealous coward m************ I despise
When it's time to ride, I was the first off this side, give me the nine
I'm ready to die right here tonight, and mother f*** they life (yeah n****!)
That's what they screaming as they drill me, but I'm hard to kill
So open fire, I see you kill me (that's all you n***** got?) witness my steel
Spitting at adversaries envious and after me
I'd rather die before they capture me, watch me bleed
Mama come rescue me I'm suicidal thinking thoughts
I'm innocent, so there'll be bullets flying when I'm caught
(Shoot!) f*** doing jail time, better day, sacrifice
Won't get a chance to do me like they did my n**** Tyson
Thugging for life and if you right then n**** die for it
Let them other brothers try, at least you tried for it
When it's time to die to be a man you pick the way you leave
f*** peace and the police, my ambitions as a ridah
[Chorus]
My murderous lyrics equipped with spirits of the Thugs before me
Pay off the block evade the cops cause I know they comin for me
I been hesitant to reappear, been away for years
Now I'm back my adversaries been reduced to tears
Question my methods to switch up speeds, sure as some b****** bleeds
n*****'ll feel the fire of my mother's corrupted seed
Blast me but they didn't finish, (buck buck buck buck buck)
didn't diminish my powers
so now I'm back to be a m************ menace, they cowards
That's why they tried to set me up
Had b****-a** n***** on my team, so indeed, they wet me up
But I'm back reincarnated, incarcerated
At the time I contemplate the way that God made it
Lace em with lyrics that's legendary, musical mercenary
For money, I'll have these m************ buried (I been)
getting much mail in jail, n***** telling me to kill it
Knowing when I get out, they gon' feel it
Witness the realest, a who ridah when I put the s*** inside
the cry from all your people when they find her
Just remind ya, my history'll prove I been it
Revenge on them n***** that played me,
and all the cowards that was down with it
Now it's yo' n**** right beside ya
Hoping you listening, catch you paying attention
to my ambitions as a ridah
[Chorus: x2]
I won't deny it, I'm a straight ridah
You don't wanna f*** with me
Got the police busting at me
But they can't do nothing to a G
(Let's get ready to rumble!)

What really go on in the mind of a n****

Constantly, money over b******
I won't deny it, I'm a straight ridah
You don't wanna f*** with me
Got the police bustin at me
I won't deny it, I'm a straight ridah
Police bustin at me
I won't deny it, I'm a straight ridah
Got the police bustin at me
I won't deny it, I'm a straight ridah
Not b****** over money
Stay on your grind n****
My ambitions as a ridah!
My ambitions as a ridah!
