There U Go
2Pac Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There you go,
Acting like a hoe

I don't know why I'll be fucking with you

Was it the liquor, that makes me act blind, times that I'm with her
Anonymous pictures of other niggas tryin' to kiss her
Will I love her or shall I diss her?
I'm sick of this scandalous shit I deal wit
Tryin' to paint a perfect picture
My memories of jealousy no longer carefree
'cause so much bullshit your girlfriends keep tellin' me
I'm on tour, but now my bedroom's an open door
So it got me thinkin', what am I tryin' for?
When I was young I was so very dumb, eager to please
A lil', trick on a mission tryin' to get in my P's
Me and my niggas is thug niggas, former known drug dealers
We don't love bitches and believe, they don't love niggas
I gotta blame my attraction
But you became a distraction, a threat to my paper stackin'
I thought you changed but now I know
Can't turn a hoe into a housewife, baby, and there you go

There you go, actin' like a hoe
There you there you go, actin' like a hoe
There you go, actin' like a hoe
Actin' like a hoe, actin' like a hoe
Hoe! See the word on the streets you're a
Hoe! Just a groupie on a world tour
Hoe! Now I found out for myself you're a
Hoe! Girl you need to check yourself

These silly bitches got this game twisted
So I don't claim 'em, just bang 'em
Papa raised a player, so player, I play 'em
I got hoes that got more, hoes than me
So how I look, gettin' hooked, like I ain't got G?
Truly cutie booty big, but that ain't enough
And the head make me beg, still that just ain't enough
When I don't trust her, the bitch be lyin' too much
When she be dyin' to fuck me you be buyin' her stuff, hoe

See girlfriend I know, your whole M.M.'s preoccupied with mostly
Gettin' clown after clown, town coast to coast, see
I been tryin' to stay away from sluts like you
Got me turned off completely by that sheisty shit that you do
Knew from jump yo' aim, straight through them spandex, don't front
Just name, spots on yo' body for me to touch while you clutch this game
I keep flowin' like H20 it ain't Outhin' for me to say
Why you keep actin' like a hoe? but there you go

There you go, actin' like a hoe
There you there you go, actin' like a hoe

Tupac has a song for every mood

@LoStisWorld

Pac was the "only" rapper where i have bought every album blind, because every song/album was awesome. and he is still the best rapper for me until today....wish the 90' back...miss the good old hip hop

@jeremylipinski5213

I like your comment bro but why do you think he died in that fake as hell "murder'. I'll tell you why. TUPAC is Black Jesus the only one true King of Kings and Lord of Lord's. The public made it look like he was murdered to try to hide something. Don't worry though; TUPAC the rightful savior of the world is coming back soon to save us from this wicked world. God bless you and God bless us all ๐Ÿ™. Don't feed into the lies that he's dead when he's fully alive ๐Ÿ˜‚ You can't kill off the savior of the world baby ๐Ÿ˜˜
