Scared Straight
2Pac Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
With pervs all be stepping with weapons
That keep my nerves on total destruction
The wrong one to be fucking with
The lyrical mastermind and 2Pacthalunatic
Lovin' the ladies and
Treat the females with true respectI love 'em and leave 'em and still
Collect on a county check
'Cause these hoes don't care they
On a mission to ironside
So ride with the whoo ride I'll
Give ya a joy ride
So niggas be steppin' to the
Front with the weak shit
I'm the one you can't get with
Beware or you'll get hit
With a loose and very clever combination
I'm tearing up the competition like Jason
Money stack and racks and raps
Rip by Ray, Mishap, and Epitats
'Cause suckers are scared straight
Prepare for the wrath
A psychopath when this song play
Get iller than Johnny Gill and
Rub you the wrong way
Fuck sensitivity I get cruel
When you're doing me
'Cause none of the rough stuff
Bitch stop pursuing me so true to the game
It's a name you don't dare say
A lyrical lunatic when I kick
Motherfucker's fall way to the roster
You step any closer and get
Hit with a dose of
Iller-fied pimping-ass gang to bang to
And I ain't ashamed to
Get wicked with slang to
Niggas know, when I flow, I can give you mo'
Get sicker than psycho, and
Won't let the mic, go
Till I hear the whole crowd on they two feet
As I go through new beats
I'm running through MC's
Nigga please you dizzy, you can't take me
You stumble through breakbeats but
You'll never fade me
Scared straight 'cause you hate
When I motivate you suffer a different fate
When music I mutilate
But some of the super suckers try to stop me
I'm gunning and running the stupid
Motherfucker's now they jock me
What if I should trip? Or chill
And a give fair break
Fuck it they feel the wrath
Of a motherfucker scared straight
Fighting wars in the streets
Fighting… Fighting wars in the streets
(Scared straight)
Fighting… Fighting wars in the streets
Fighting… Fighting wars in the streets
Running through the rhyme
Keepin' em 'cause I leaked the fumes
Had to pay my dues
But nigga you know you sure will lose
Now you're after me
You better bring your whole posse
Or gang of punk emcees
Ray beat 'em down relentlessly
A mastermind at work residing
In the rose town
Closing foes and hosting shows and
Fucking them crazy hoes now
Brother black is back showing em all no mercy
One verse you'll here the hearse like…tec
(when ya heard me) the game is in affect
I'm stompin' on necks and taking respect
From niggas who try to flex
And roody poo collar blue police
Are tryin' to sweat
I'm taking your final breath
And surprising you
Bitch 'cause I ain't dead yet
Time to get lethal finish 'em
All in the first round, no sequel
I rush em down beat 'em down
Don't ask me what they hitting for I
Run ya down and leave ya
Fuck the pringle here's the single
Now we love the evil
Feel the funky funk house buster
You'll get rolled on
No matter how much they bring
I duck and dodge and hold on
Best a watch the swing
Nigga the game is so strong
Catch me by surprise
You won't realize your hoes gone
Nigga I'm on the creep
And if I know your address
Girls as good as stuck
She eating my Mr badness
Pac don't give a fuck, I got too many enemies
Fucking with the ginger juice the
Booze of fucking Hennessy
The closer they can get
But still don't let them see me sweat
Suckers ain't trying to step
They know they'll be breathing
They last breathe niggas ain't got no heart
But swear that they be rocking shit
Till they get a load of
The bold ass 2Pacalypse
Tell them to bring the noise
And look like they wanna rift
Brother this is ain't a game
A crook's what's you're fucking with
Hitting him with the flurry
I'll bury him if he steps to me
Suckas can't get next to me
Tripping off some ecstasy
Literal life insanity, even a form of suicide
This ain't BBD, try doing me you're do or die
Dropping them like a MAC, and smacking
Them like a weak bitch
Nigga don't even twitch
'Cause them I'ma have to pull the switch
Victory to the switch
So fuck 'em if they try to break
Freaking 'em with the funk left them drunk
Hella (Scared straight)
Wars in the streets (Hell yeah)
Fighting wars in the streets
(Scared straight)
Fighting… Fighting wars in the streets
Fighting… Fighting wars in the streets
(Motherfuckers are scared straight)
Fighting… Fighting wars in the streets
Fighting… Fighting… Fighting wars
In the streets
(2Pacalypse in this motherfucker)
Fight… Fighting… Fighting wars fighting wars
Fighting wars in the streets
(The whole motherfuckin' posse in the house)
Fighting wars in the streets
(Underground Railroad punks we layin' the
Track leavin' motherfuckers scared straight)

2Pac isn't concerned about being sensitive or gentle in his approach. He embraces his cruel and aggressive side and asserts that anyone who pursues him romantically will experience a different and harsher fate. He likens himself to a psychopath who can become more disturbing than Johnny Gill, upsetting people in uncomfortable ways. 2Pac proclaims his dedication to the game, feeling proud and confident in his abilities. He is relentless in his pursuit of success, leaving no room for others to stop him or dampen his spirit.
Overall, the lyrics of "Scared Straight" reflect 2Pac's confidence, bravado, and determination to establish his dominance and be recognized as a formidable force in the music industry.

This world loves not the ways, nor the attributes, nor the things of God! It is no wonder why the Antichrist will easily captivate the world and subdue it, for it is already subdued. The Antichrist is already in control, we are merely waiting for this son of perdition to appear.

24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
Proverbs 1:7 7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

1 John 2:15-17 15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me:
seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Jesus Christ is Lord! Every eye shall see, Every knee will bow and confess Jesus Christ is Lord!
Luke 17:28-30 28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
Repent while you have a chance. Accept Jesus as your Lord and savior...... I know most will mock, but this is why the Bible said
Ecclesiastes 7:5 It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.
For the fool says there is no God. The byproduct is that same fool returning to his folly, as a Dog to its vomit...

Tupac just proved millions of people they had wrong about him in this song! He can rap on high tempo, maintain control, accelerate speed, he can be lyrical, spit bars, conduct different flows. This all the proof we need! the funny thing is, Tupac didn't even want to become a MC, neither the greatest. He came here to change the world, spread his messages and knowledge around. He was more than just a rapper, a leading figure/musician! A revolutionary, Activist, educator, hero, prophet! A true hero and messager of God!
