Don't Get It Twisted
2Pac & Thug Life Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't think I won't flip it
Don't pull your file
But I got enough bullshit to deal with
I'm rollin' with the thugs so
You must be on drugs to the head
Get your ass break down
Broken half baby
And if you got beef best leave it in the freezer
I'm no joke
Mopreme straight lo
And you could get smoked
You hook the shit you get stroked
And all of that
And later be back for your motherfuckin' dope sack
Kid it ain't the type of day to play doughnut
Don't get your ass sewn up
Why you leakin' on my blown out
Hey, you're mixed up like a bowl of nuts
You fuck around and got it twisted up
Boy, don't get it twisted
(Don't get it twisted!)
It's the Macadoshis coming from the dark side
The park side where the O.G.s do ride
Ain't nothing but killers in the park
As many niggas lost they's heart
When my gat sparks
I'll bust a cap in that ass
Don't get it twisted
When I'm on a mission, niggas come with Mishy
You busters gettin' disciplined
And you're comin' up short on your life
When I smoke you with this mac-10
When it's on it's on
Fuck it
I'm makin' niggas kick the bucket when I check em' by inducis
Ain't no think to let my shit spin
You on my shit list hope you got a death wish
I tried to warn you but you missed me
You should have listened motherfucker when I said:
Don't get it twisted!
(Don't get it twisted!)
Niggas got problems about gettin' shit twisted
They need to stay the fuck out of grown folks business
Kids get a kick out of bumpin' their big clips
But don't front no shit that brought no shit that peace started
'Cause I'm a cold hearted rider straight dunkin'
Never through with my streets
Never hurt nobody but my heat
East side brothers don't hear me though
They'd rather get shit twisted and gather like hoes
Bitch make ass niggas when I caught 'em
Couldn't bust a drape if they wanted
They're soft like Charmin
But I don't sweat varmits
I suffer with my black group
Just a one-day murderer
On the motherfuckin' Rudy Poop
I snapped his soul, son
Ain't no damn thing funny when I spray your ass with my tongue
And your mommy can't save you now
'Cause you got the job twisted up
For fuckin' with a killer
(Don't get it twisted!)

Just 'cause a nigga come in he got style
Don't be fooled by appearances and style because it doesn't mean I won't act out of character
Don't think I won't flip it
Don't assume that I won't retaliate
Don't pull your file
Don't bring up your past mistakes in an attempt to discredit me
But I got enough bullshit to deal with
I have my own problems to deal with and don't need any unnecessary drama
I'm rollin' with the thugs so
I'm affiliated with a group of gangsters so beware of crossing me
You must be on drugs to the head
If you try to test me, it must be because you're not thinking straight
Get your ass break down
If you try me, I'll quickly break you down
Broken half baby
I'll leave you broken and defeated
I'm a feelin' like a motherfuckin' psychopathic
I'm in an intense, aggressive mood
And if you got beef best leave it in the freezer
If you have beef with me, it's best to avoid confrontation for your own safety
I'm no joke
I'm not someone to mess with
Mopreme straight lo
My associate Mopreme is just as serious as I am
And you could get smoked
I won't hesitate to take your life
You hook the shit you get stroked
If you start trouble, you'll be met with retaliation

I may also rob you for your drugs
Kid it ain't the type of day to play doughnut
Today is not the day for games or foolishness
Don't get your ass sewn up
Don't get yourself into a bad situation
Why you leakin' on my blown out
Don't complain to me about your problems
Hey, you're mixed up like a bowl of nuts
You're confused and don't know what you're talking about
You fuck around and got it twisted up
You messed up and misunderstood the situation
Boy, don't get it twisted
Don't misunderstand me and my intentions
(Don't get it twisted!)
This is a warning to not underestimate me
It's the Macadoshis coming from the dark side
We are the Macadoshis gang and we operate from dangerous territories
The park side where the O.G.s do ride
We're from a section of the city where the original gangsters ride
Ain't nothing but killers in the park
Everyone around us is dangerous
As many niggas lost they's heart
Many have been killed in this area
When my gat sparks
When I pull out my gun and fire
I'll bust a cap in that ass
I'll shoot you in the ass
When I'm on a mission, niggas come with Mishy
I have backup when I'm running an errand
You busters gettin' disciplined
If you don't follow our rules, we'll discipline you
And you're comin' up short on your life
Your time on earth is about to be cut short
When I smoke you with this mac-10
When I kill you with this gun
When it's on it's on
Once the situation turns violent, it can't be defused
Fuck it
I don't care anymore
I'm makin' niggas kick the bucket when I check em' by inducis
I'm killing people when I confront them and urge them to comply
Ain't no think to let my shit spin
I have no problem using my weapon
You on my shit list hope you got a death wish
If you're on my bad side, you must want to die
I tried to warn you but you missed me
I gave you a heads up but you ignored me
You should have listened motherfucker when I said:
You should have taken my warning seriously
(Don't get it twisted!)
I'm repeating my warning - don't underestimate me
Niggas got problems about gettin' shit twisted
People have an issue with misunderstanding things
They need to stay the fuck out of grown folks business
They should mind their own business and not interfere in adult matters
Kids get a kick out of bumpin' their big clips
Young people enjoy showing off their weapons
But don't front no shit that brought no shit that peace started
Don't start any conflict without reason
'Cause I'm a cold hearted rider straight dunkin'
I'm a heartless thug who is always prepared to fight
Never through with my streets
I'm always involved in street dealings
Never hurt nobody but my heat
I only cause harm with my weapon
East side brothers don't hear me though
The people from my neighborhood don't listen to me
They'd rather get shit twisted and gather like hoes
They prefer to create drama and cause conflict
Bitch make ass niggas when I caught 'em
I overpower weak men easily
Couldn't bust a drape if they wanted
They can't even handle simple tasks
They're soft like Charmin
They're weak and easily defeated
But I don't sweat varmits
I don't concern myself with insignificant people
I suffer with my black group
I experience pain with my fellow black people
Just a one-day murderer
I can kill someone easily and without regret
On the motherfuckin' Rudy Poop
On the low, undercover
I snapped his soul, son
I took his life easily
Ain't no damn thing funny when I spray your ass with my tongue
There's nothing comical about me killing you
And your mommy can't save you now
Even your mother can't protect you from me
'Cause you got the job twisted up
You misunderstood your position in this conflict
For fuckin' with a killer
You messed with the wrong person
(Don't get it twisted!)
Once again, this is a warning to not underestimate me

love this album ppl thought 2pac was out his mind when he made this group haha jokes on them!!!
@alexfialk
One of the best albums on the planet!!! Pac for life!!!!!!
@emiliothechicano3231
2pac broke this group apart because there was a buch of snakes in it he hadn't realized it until he got shot. Listen to the Vibe interview he made. He talks about how he killed Thug Life and gave birth to The Outlaws. This is why I don't like this song or any song in this album that doesn't have 2pac in it. I like to listen to real people rapping not studio gangsters..
@topjefe5521
@@emiliothechicano3231 yeah u right but he was mostly talking bout big scretch the other 2 was locked up big syke was the only one good at the time so I think he was like fuck it I'm done with this thug shit I know if he lived they would've made up pac is my dog but y'all Kno his attitude nd he was young asf. Just my opinion
@BBD415
Lowkey he didnt even make the groups. The label wanted to make a group out of them
@GoGetYourShinebox
It’s said Tupac was sick of Mopreme by 1996 because he was drinking too much and acting a fool. Pac even allowed Suge’s Piru goons to beat Mopreme up, strip him and throw him out the building.
