When We Ride On Our Enemies
2Pac Lyrics

Fugees, Fugees and Mobb Deep tryna diss now too, huh? Hahaha
Laughing at the attempts of Fugees and Mobb Deep to diss him

Well, I ain't prejudiced, I don't give a fuck
Does not discriminate against anyone and does not care

This is what it sounds like when we ride on our enemies
Explaining that the song is about exacting revenge on his enemies

Biatch, when we ride on our enemies
Using a derogatory term to emphasize the violent nature of his retaliation

Hey, got some static for some niggas on the other side of town
Having problems with some people in another part of town

Let my little cousin K roll, he's a rider now
Giving his cousin permission to get involved in the retaliation

What they want from us motherfuckin' thug niggas?
Questioning why people are targeting him and his gang

Used to love niggas now I plug niggas, and slug niggas
Turning from love to violence and killing

Am I wrong? Niggas makin' songs, tryna get with us
Wondering if he is wrong for his violent actions while others try to befriend him through songs

Must be gone off stress weed, in the West we trust
Suggesting that those who try to befriend him are under the influence of drugs and that violence is common in the West

To the chest I bust, then we ride 'til the sun come
Referring to shooting his enemies in the chest, and then continuing to retaliate until sunrise

Shinin' back to brighten up the sky, how many die?
The sun shining in the morning is viewed as a victory, and he questions how many people have died due to his retaliation

Heard the Fugees was tryna do me
Learning that Fugees are targeting him and trying to harm him

Look, bitch, I'll cut your face, this ain't no motherfuckin' movie
Taunting his enemies, making it clear that he is capable of violence and that their attempts will not end well for them

Then we watch the other two die slow
After harming one member of the Fugees, they watch the others suffer and die slowly

Castrated entertainin' at my motherfuckin' sideshow
Referencing the Fugees as castrated and humiliated like performers in his sideshow

Bam, set my plan in mo'
Hitting back on his enemies with a specific plan of attack

Time to exterminate my foes, I can't stand you hoes
Viewing his enemies as insignificant and unworthy, and thus initiating his plan to exterminate them

Now label this my fuckin' trick shot
Referring to his retaliation plan as a trick shot, or a clever maneuver

My lyrics runnin' all you cowards out of hip-hop
Boasting that his words and actions will scare away even his enemies who try to enter hip-hop

Come take a journey through my mind's eye
Inviting people to see his perspective and understand his motives

You crossed the game, don't explain, nigga, time to die, say goodbye
Those who cross him should not try to explain themselves and should prepare to die

Watch my eyes when I pull the trigger
Intimidating his enemies, making them acknowledge his power before dying

So right before you die you, bow before a bigger nigga, now dry your eyes
Encouraging his enemies to acknowledge his power before they die and accepting their fate

You was heartless on your hits
Accusing his enemies of being heartless and violent in their attacks

Niggas love to scream peace after they start some shit
Suggesting that his enemies often do not want violence but cannot control themselves and resort to it anyway

Pay attention, here's a word to those that robbed me
Directing a warning to those who stole from him

I murder you, then I run a train on Mobb Deep
Promising to kill and then further humiliate Mobb Deep for their involvement in his problems

Don't fuck with me, nigga you're barely livin', don't you got sickle cell?
Telling his enemies that they are weak and incapable of handling him, even questioning if they have a genetic disorder

See me have a seizure on stage, you ain't feelin' well
Threatening to have a seizure and causing his enemies pain while performing on stage

Hell, how many niggas wanna be involved?
Asking how many people are willing to deal with the consequences of involving themselves in his retaliation

See I was only talkin' to Biggie, but I'll kill all of y'all, then ball
Explaining that he was only targeting Biggie, but is willing to kill anyone who attempts to involve themselves

Then tell Da Brat to keep her mouth closed
Directing a message to Da Brat to stay out of his business and not speak about it

Fuck around and get tossed up by the fuckin' Outlawz
Warning anyone who gets involved that they will be violently dealt with by his gang, the Outlawz

Before I leave, make sure everybody heard
Ensuring that his message and warning has been heard by everyone, including his enemies and potential enemies

Know I meant every motherfuckin' word
Making it clear that he was serious and meant everything he said in the song
