Catchin Feelings
2Pac Lyrics

My home boys might squabble but we don't fall down
We may argue, but we remain united and do not give up.

Yeah, my home boys might squabble but we don't fall down
We may fight among ourselves, but we remain unbroken.

Westside, westside
We represent the West Coast and our culture.

Part two of
This is the continuation of our message.

Cross this nigga here, now Biggie, tell me who do you fear?
If we were to confront Biggie, who would he fear more, us or his own mortality?

Ain't a livin' soul breathin' shall pump no fear here
No one can intimidate us.

My last four flashed then I mashed his ass
I shot him four times and killed him.

Bastard, fuck with me, bet I blast your ass
If you mess with me, I'll shoot you.

So many follow but can't reach me, caught in a maze
Many people imitate me, but they cannot match my level.

Catch 'em mimickin' my style, tryin' to walk this way
People are copying my moves, trying to be like me.

Impossible, my posse droppin' you, we Death Row riders
It is impossible to defeat us. We are unstoppable as Death Row gang members.

No need to beg, motherfucker, ain't no mercy inside us
Don't bother begging, we won't show you any mercy.

Feeling blessed, the richer I get the more I stress
The more successful I become, the more pressure I feel.

Smokin' lye watchin' time fly, waitin' for death
I am smoking marijuana and waiting for my death to come.

Dear God, I been feelin' like I'm close to Jesus
I am in touch with my spirituality and feel close to God.

Paranoid with my pistols close, smokin' trees
I am always carrying my guns and smoking marijuana to numb my anxiety.

Keep my eyes on my foes, those close to me
I am constantly watching out for my enemies and those who are close to me.

Watchin' niggas catch strays, shake, choke an' bleed me
I am observing as others get shot, panic, and bleed out.

A mercenary for the streets, check my pedigree
I am an experienced and skilled fighter for the urban environment.

Bustin' motherfuckers, it's the thug in me
I am shooting people because that is what being a thug represents.

Now niggas talk a lotta bad boy shit
People are talking negatively and trying to act tough.

Then get to squealin'
But when the situation gets heated, they become snitches.

Bitch made catchin' feelin'
Weak-minded people are emotional and likely to betray their friends.

Outlaw niggas, are you ready to clown?
Are you ready to joke around with us, who are outlaws?

Screamin', "Bye bye bitches, untouchable sound"
We are saying goodbye to our rivals, as we are untouchable and invincible.

Niggas hide like hoes when we hit your town
People are afraid of us and try to hide when we visit their town/city.

Yeah, Napolean, picture me sippin' on one five one
I can imagine myself drinking Bacardi 151.

Drunk than a motherfucker, droppin' my gun
I am very intoxicated and may accidentally drop my firearm.

Or as high as a kite, hittin' hoes for fun
I might be under the influence of drugs and engage in promiscuous activities for fun.

But that ain't me, dog, my mind's now clear
But that's not who I am anymore; I am sober and focused.

An' that ain't fair, dog, your heart pump fear
It's not fair that you are afraid of me.

In the state I guess
I suppose you are in the same condition as me.

You better hide nigga truth is near
You should be afraid, because the truth is about to be revealed.

An' you know just as well I do
You know as well as I do.

You ain't no killer, so kill that you wouldn't kill if you had to
You aren't actually a killer, so stop pretending you would kill if you had to.

We might wobble but we don't fall down
We may face difficulties, but we remain standing.

We take the gospel from Makaveli, pass it around
We follow the thoughts and beliefs of Tupac Shakur (Makaveli) and share them with others.

Ah, shit, we gonna taste the power
We are about to experience significant strength and success.

We started the thug trend, the game is ours
We are the ones who popularized the thug lifestyle and now dominate the genre.

Now we coast together, put our thoughts together
We are working together and combining our ideas.

Won't question will we die together
We will not doubt that we will die together.

'Cause the hour is soon to come
The moment of our death is approaching soon.

Kadafi trained soldier, I show you how to use your gun, bring it
As a well-trained fighter, I can teach you how to use a gun properly.

Catchin' feelins, feelins catchin' feelins
People are becoming emotionally attached to things that do not matter, and it is a contagious trend.

We yellin', "M A D E N I double G A, motherfuckers"
We are proudly declaring ourselves to be Outlaw gang members.

An' we here to stay, from curb surfin'
We are not going anywhere, and we originate from the urban streets.

We workin' the industry, you kiddin' me
We are making a name for ourselves in the music industry, are you joking?

It's really nothin' to me an' my king, you see
This is nothing to me and my companion.

We in the big things, eat a dick, man,
We are successful and driving fancy cars, so don't hate on us.

If your hatin', we gone ride, 'til the wheels fall off, pay attention
If you are being negative or disrespectful toward us, we will fight back no matter what.

Ride or die niggas, an' we huntin' you down
We are loyal to each other and will hunt down our enemies together.

Representin' all the real niggas stuck in the trap
We are representing all the genuine people who are trapped in difficult situations.

Bangin' out with the po' po', tryin' to get to some mo'
We are fighting with the police and trying to earn more money.

Street life, young strugglers racin' the clock
We are racing against time, living a dangerous life on the streets.

Ain't no tellin' when it all can end, roll or rock
Our lives may end at any moment, so we must live life to the fullest.

Ain't no world with feelings, this a man's world, youngin'
This world is not fair or emotional; it is tough, and you have to be tough to survive.

But the bitches' in business, so learn a lil' somethin'
Women are involved in everything, so don't underestimate them or disrespect them.

And stop runnin' your mouth, you're on the verge of squealin'
You should stop talking too much if you are going to betray us.

Bitch made catchin' feelings, nigga
Weak-minded people are emotional liabilities that are likely to betray us.

Everybody's a gangsta but don't put in work
Everyone claims to be tough, but no one actually does the hard work of being a gangster.

Instead of puttin' on the armor, niggas put on skirts
Instead of being tough, people wear revealing clothing that is not practical or protective.

These drugs ain't helpin', it only makin' it worse
Drugs are not helping us; they are only making our situation worse.

An' the streets ain't got nothin' for me but herbs
The streets have nothing to offer me except marijuana.

I can't trust the church or the mobs
I cannot trust the church or the mafia for help or guidance.

I can only trust God an' to tell you the truth
I can only trust in God and, honestly, in myself.

I gotta ride, I only roll with the real
I have to remain loyal to real friends and allies.

'Cause rollin' with the fake got my loved ones killed
Betraying my loyal friends and allies resulted in the death of loved ones.
