Ambition Az A Ridah
2Pac Lyrics

I won't deny it, I'm a straight ridah
I won't hide it, I proudly embody the persona of a fearless and hardcore individual

You don't wanna fuck with me
You should steer clear of crossing paths with me, as I can be a formidable opponent

Got the police bustin' at me
Law enforcement officers are constantly pursuing and attempting to apprehend me

But they can't do nothing to a G
However, their efforts are futile against someone as resilient and tough as myself

Let's get ready to rumble
Prepare yourself for a heated confrontation or battle

Now you know how we do it like a G
Now you understand our way of doing things, characterized by confidence and strength

What really go on in the mind of a nigga
What truly transpires within the thoughts and psyche of an individual like myself

That get down for theirs
Who relentlessly pursues their goals and ambitions

Constantly, money over bitches
Always prioritizing financial success over romantic relationships

Not bitches over money
Recognizing the importance of wealth and not allowing relationships to hinder my pursuit of it

Stay on your grind, nigga
Remain focused and dedicated to your hustle, my fellow comrade

My ambitions as a ridah
My aspirations and motivations as an individual who lives by their own rules

So many battlefield scars while driven in plush cars
Having experienced numerous hardships and challenges despite my luxurious lifestyle

This life as a rap star is nothing without heart
Being a successful rapper means nothing without passion and authenticity

Was born rough and rugged, addressing the mass public
I come from a rough background and express my thoughts to the general public

My attitude was 'fuck it', cause motherfuckers love it
I adopted a rebellious and carefree mindset, which surprisingly garnered a devoted following

To be a soldier, must maintain composure at ease
In order to be a warrior, one must always remain composed, even in challenging situations

Though life is complicated, only what you make it to be
Despite life's complexities, it ultimately becomes what you choose to make of it

Uh, and my ambitions as a ridah to catch her
My aspirations as an individual who lives by their own rules extend to my desire to pursue a woman

While she hot and horny, go up inside her
Engaging in sexual intercourse with her while she is sexually aroused

Then I spit some game in her ear, 'go to the telly, ho'
I charm and persuade her with my words, encouraging her to accompany me to a hotel

Equipped with money in a Benz, cause bitch I'm barely broke
I have enough wealth and ride in a luxurious Benz, proving that I am far from being financially destitute

I'm smoking bomb ass weed, feeling crucial
I am indulging in high-quality marijuana, experiencing a powerful state of mind

From player to player, the game's tight, the feeling's mutual
As individuals engaging in the players' lifestyle, we recognize the competitiveness of the game and share a mutual understanding

From hustling and prayers, to breaking motherfuckers to pay up
Transitioning from the grind of hustling and praying to assertively demanding payment from those who owe us

I got no time for these bitches, cause these hoes try to play us
I have no patience for deceitful women who attempt to manipulate us

I'm on a meal ticket mission, want a mill, so I'm wishing
I am intensely focused on achieving significant financial success, therefore, I have a strong desire for a million dollars

Competition got me ripped, on that bullshit they stressing (booyah!)
The competitive nature of the game has caused me to be physically and mentally torn, but I find it trivial

I'mma rhyme though, clown hoes like it's mandatory
I will continue to rap and relentlessly insult women who act foolishly, as if it's my duty

No guts no glory, my nigga, bitch got the game distorted
It takes courage to achieve greatness, my friend, and women who are naive have a distorted understanding of the game

Now it's on and it's on because I said so
It is now time for action and confrontation solely because I have proclaimed it to be so

Can't trust a bitch in the business so I got with Death Row
I cannot rely on a deceitful woman in the music industry, hence why I joined Death Row Records

Now these money hungry bitches getting suspicious
These greedy women are becoming distrustful and wary of my intentions

Started plotting and planning on schemes, to come and trick us
They have begun devising plans to deceive and manipulate us

But thug niggas be on point and game tight
However, we street-wise individuals are highly alert and possess exceptional skills in the game

Me, Syke and Bogart, strapped up the same night
Myself, Syke, and Bogart armed ourselves on the very same night

Got problems then handle it, motherfuckers see me
If you have issues, deal with them directly, as people are well aware of my ability to handle conflicts

These niggas is jealous cause deep in they heart they wanna be me
These individuals are envious because deep down, they secretly yearn to be like me

It was my only wish to rise
My sole desire was to achieve great success and ascend to the top

Above these jealous coward motherfuckers I despise
To surpass and prove my superiority over these envious and weak-minded individuals whom I strongly dislike

When it's time to ride, I was the first off this side, give me the nine
When it was time to take action, I was the first to step up, providing me with a firearm

I'm ready to die right here tonight, and motherfuck they life (yeah nigga!)
I am willing to sacrifice my life at this very moment, disregarding the value of their lives

That's what they screaming as they drill me, but I'm hard to kill
That is what they shout as they attempt to eliminate me, but I am resilient and difficult to eliminate

So open fire, I see you kill me, witness my steel
Therefore, go ahead and shoot at me, as you will only witness my unwavering strength

Spitting at adversaries, envious and after me
I respond to my enemies, who are filled with envy and seeking to harm me

I'd rather die before they capture me, watch me bleed
I would rather meet death than allow them to apprehend me and witness my suffering

(Shoot!) Fuck doing jail time, better day, sacrificing
Fuck spending time in prison, I would rather die, choosing to make the ultimate sacrifice

Won't get a chance to do me like they did my nigga Tyson
They will not have the opportunity to treat me the way they treated my friend Tyson

Thugging for life, and if you right, then nigga die for it
Living a life of hustle and crime, and if you are loyal, you are willing to die for it

Let them other brothers try, at least you tried for it
Allow other individuals to attempt, but at least you made the effort

When it's time to die, to be a man, you pick the way you leave
When it is time to face death and prove your manhood, you get to choose how you go out

Fuck peace and the police, my ambitions as a ridah
To hell with peace and the law enforcement, my motivations revolve around living as a fearless and independent individual

My murderous lyrics equipped with spirits of the thugs before me
My lyrics are filled with lethal intentions, channeling the essence of the gangsters who came before me

Pay off the block, evade the cops cause I know they coming for me
I bribe the neighborhood and avoid the attention of the police because I am aware of their pursuit

I been hesitant to reappear, been away for years
I have been reluctant to make a comeback, as I have been absent for a significant amount of time

Now I'm back my adversaries been reduced to tears
Now that I have returned, my enemies are overwhelmed with fear and intimidated

Question my methods to switch up speeds, sure as some bitches bleed
People may doubt my ability to adapt and change my approach, but it is as certain as women menstruating

Niggas'll feel the fire of my mother's corrupted seed
My adversaries will experience the wrath and intensity passed down through my genetically predisposed fierce nature

Blast me but they didn't finish
They may have attempted to harm or eliminate me, but they were unsuccessful

Didn't diminish my powers
Their attack did not weaken or undermine my strength

So now I'm back to be a motherfucking menace, they cowards
Therefore, I have returned to instill fear and intimidation, as they are weak and lacking in bravery

That's why they tried to set me up
That is exactly why they attempted to deceive and betray me

Had bitch ass niggas on my team, so indeed, they wet me up
I had weak and disloyal individuals on my side, ultimately betraying me and attacking me

But I'm back reincarnated, incarcerated
Nevertheless, I have returned reborn and imprisoned

At the time I contemplate the way that God made it
During my incarceration, I reflect upon the divine plan set forth by God

Lace em with lyrics that's legendary, musical mercenary
I eloquently deliver lyrics that are deemed iconic, embodying the role of a ruthless warrior in the music industry

For money, I'll have these motherfuckers buried (I been)
For a substantial amount of money, I am willing to eliminate these despicable individuals (I have)

Getting much mail in jail, niggas telling me to kill it
Receiving a significant amount of fan mail while incarcerated, with people encouraging me to continue succeeding

Knowing when I get out, they gon' feel it
Being aware that once I am released, my impact and influence will be strongly felt

Witness the realest, a hoo-ridah when I put the shit inside
Witness the authenticity and true nature of a rider when I deliver my provocative and unfiltered lyrics

The cry from all your people when they find her
The outcry and emotional response from your community when they discover my music

Just remind ya, my history'll prove authentic
I am here to remind you that my background and experiences are genuine and verifiable

Revenge on them niggas that played me
Seeking vengeance against those individuals who betrayed and deceived me

And all the cowards that was down with it
As well as the weak-minded individuals who were complicit in their actions

Now it's yo nigga right beside ya
Now I am standing right beside you, my comrade

Hoping you listening, catch you paying attention
I hope that you are truly listening and paying close attention to my story and message

To my ambitions as a ridah
To fully understand and appreciate my aspirations as an individual who lives by their own rules
