Loyal To The Game
2pac BIG SYKE Lyrics

Now I've got to ask, on a nigga's ass, tell me will they blast me?
I am concerned for my safety, wondering if someone will try to shoot me

I think of an alias in case these crooked bitches ask me
I create a fake name to use in case I am questioned by dishonest women

Now, it's gettin' crazy after dark, these narcs
Things are getting dangerous at night with undercover police around

Be like tryin' to shut me down but I'm too smart
Authorities attempt to stop my illegal activities, but I am clever enough to evade their efforts

Now picture me scared of the penitentiary
I refuse to let the thought of prison intimidate me

I've been movin' these things since the days of elementary
I have been selling drugs since I was a child

Now tell me what you need when you see me
When you encounter me, what illegal goods or services do you require?

I'm stackin G's, buyin' all the things on TV, believe me
I am accumulating large amounts of money and using it to purchase luxury items

I got some killas on my payroll, and they know
I employ skilled and violent individuals who are aware of their duties

When it's time to handle business, nigga lay low
When necessary, my associates are instructed to avoid being seen

Although I'm young, I'm still comin' up
Despite my youth, I am achieving a significant level of success

I'm gettin' paid, pullin' raises on niggas when they runnin' up
I am earning a lot of money, sometimes resorting to violence when people try to take advantage of me

The first to pull a strap when there's drama
In times of conflict, I am quick to draw my weapon

Busta', you ain't heard?
Excuse me, have you not been informed?

I've been slicin' motherfuckers since I lost my momma
I have been injuring or killing individuals since my mother passed away

There ain't a cop that can stop me
Police officers cannot prevent me from engaging in illegal activities

My posse is cocked, G, and they don't quit until they drop me
My associates are ready and armed, and will continue to fight until either they or I am defeated

Without no doubt I ain't no slouch and it ain't time to back down
I am confident and unwilling to retreat from a challenge

So I jumps in and try to stop-a and watch-a
I take action and observe the situation

Slap you cock-eyed like Popeye fucks spinach
I will strike you forcefully and disorient you, like the cartoon character Popeye does with spinach

Forgotten more shit than most crews ever know, or ever knew
I have experienced and learned more than most groups of people

Was born with 7 flows and only heaven knew
I have always been naturally talented with my rapping abilities, and only God is aware of my potential

For beat the boot sex, the news breaks, the you shakes
I am able to handle any type of competition or adversity that comes my way

Worse, they heard we got more nerve than a 2-fake
People are aware that we have immense courage and are not easily intimidated

Yoo-ho to you crew and you too so you knew
I am calling out and taunting my rivals and their associates

I'm from Jersey and I'm a teen so your block more than you do
I am young and from the state of New Jersey, and know your neighbourhood better than you do

Whose the new crew?
Who is the latest group of people attempting to compete with me?

Show me your neck brotha', and here's another
Reveal your vulnerability to me, and prepare to receive another strike from me

Smack your mother's mamma's mother
I will hit you so hard it will affect your entire family lineage

In the first mob of all those other crack lovers
I was one of the original group of individuals who became addicted to crack cocaine

Back was bitch-ass, trick ass, cluk-clow-cluk-clow
I have left behind my prior cowardly, deceitful behaviour

How ya like me then, how ya like me, hey-ho, how ya like me now?
Do you now respect and admire me, now that I have transformed and succeeded?

Ow, pow, hurt, don't it? Bow, bow, don't run up on it
The pain from my attacks must be intense, so do not attempt to fight me

The same thing minus "P" hangin' possies like an exponent
My group of associates is growing exponentially, similar to a mathematical operation with the constant 'P' removed

Oh yes, rock in slums, ya gots to run it
I am the dominant force in the impoverished areas and you must acknowledge it

It makes no sense to smell like shit
It is pointless to present oneself poorly or without care

If old ass George could be Washing-tons
Even the old and infirm George Washington could achieve greatness

Now I be loyal to my niggas on the blocks, just buckin' the shots
I remain committed and faithful to my associates in the neighbourhood, dodging gunfire

And packin' the Glocks
We carry firearms for protection and intimidation

And dodgin' the cops, and takin' over niggas spots
We avoid being caught by law enforcement, and taking control of drug territory

Poppin' after poppin the fools be droppin', the hoes be hoppin'
We are able to kill our enemies with ease, and women are attracted to our success

On my thing 'cause it hangs like the nets from Above the Rim
Women are interested in my sexual abilities, which are compared to the nets used in the movie 'Above the Rim'

You lookin' grim, is it me or him or him
You appear to be in a bad condition, so is it because of me or someone else?

Or be with me, we be together
Join forces with me, and we will have each other's support

So what's up? We can do whatever
What do you want to do? We are able to handle any challenge

'Cause real niggas stick together
Genuine, authentic men support and remain loyal to each other

Till they make it up to heaven
We will remain true to each other until we reach the afterlife

Through the stress, through the hell, through the 1-8-7
We will stick together through difficult and dangerous situations

The shorter the nigga, the bigga the trigga
The smaller a person is, the more likely they are to carry a firearm

The deeper they dig the ditch-a
The more intense their actions or crimes, the more severe the consequences for them

The Naughty the Treach
Referring to the rap duo known as Naughty by Nature, and one of the members Treach

Then through to the Pac I brings the Glock I wets up
I will use my firearm to eliminate any threats to myself and my associates

You fuckin' body, I'm like, oh my Gody
I have just killed someone, and express a sense of shock or excitement

Did I really shoot him? Yo I shot him
I question whether or not I committed the act of violence, but acknowledge that I did

So got him, now I puts the crime behind me
Now that he is dead, I can move past the illegal act and focus on other things

And finds me, a place to lays my head low
I search for a location to hide or rest after committing a crime

I lives doin' my rap, but I dies for my hood row
I am dedicated to my music, but am willing to sacrifice myself for my neighbourhood and associates

So all you fuckin' fools better recognize, and know my fuckin' name
I demand respect and recognition, and want people to acknowledge my reputation and authority

I be Riddler to my niggas and I'm loyal to the game
My associates refer to me as 'Riddler', and I remain faithful and devoted to the criminal activity and lifestyle
