2pac feat. DMX Lyrics

Now everytime I see you cats is rollin in packs
Whenever I see you, you're always with a group of people.

For the life of me I cannot see why you don't know how to act
I can't understand why you don't behave properly.

Love to clown when you deep, but when you on that solo creep out on the streets you don't hear a peep
You like to joke around when you're with your crew, but when you're alone you're quiet.

nigga it's a god damn shame, somebody explain why they sent a Bad Boy to play a grown man's game
It's a shame that they sent someone who's inexperienced and not ready to play with the big boys.

Tear that ass out the frame, completely get that ass kicked Woke up on the street but you'll be sleepin in the casket
You're going to get beat up very badly and wake up on the street, but eventually you'll be buried in a coffin.

How long will it last, nigga don't ask, just be first to blast Outlaw on the mash tryin to be the first to see some cash
Don't ask how long this will continue, just be the first to shoot. I'm an outlaw trying to make money.

My shit's classic, like my nigga Nate Go get the tape, we keep the nation anticipatin until we break
My music is timeless, like my friend Nate's music. Go get my record, and keep the nation waiting for our next big hit.

Money made me evil, court cases got me stressed niggaz aimin at my head but I still wear my vest
Money has changed me for the worse and court cases have made me anxious. People are trying to kill me, but I still wear my bulletproof vest.

I don't give a f*ck motherf*ckers I'm loc They all duckin when my gun smoke cause you ain't shit without your homeboys
I don't care, I'm crazy. They're all afraid when they see smoke from my gun, because they're nothing without their crew.

What's my name? DMX and I be the best You see the rest they lookin like they need a rest
I'm DMX and I'm the best. Other rappers look tired and in need of rest compared to me.

One more time, I'mma spit at you some shit That's gon get at you be fuckin with your mind, stop talkin shit
I'm going to rap something that will mess with your head, so stop talking nonsense.

Cuz you out there runnin' your mouth And really don't know who you fuckin with Here we go again
You're talking without knowing who you're dealing with. This has happened before.

How many times do I have to tell you rap niggas? I have no friends you still actin up
I've told other rappers before that I have no friends, yet they still act foolish around me.

The game don't stop, I'm still gettin down for whatever Whenever that's why my shit is hot, can't keep it real
I'm always ready to do whatever it takes to succeed in the rap game, and that's why I'm popular. I can't always be honest though.

Now, some of us do but most of us don't that's just how a nigga feel I shed blood, for my people that'll keep you lookin see-through Whenever you try to creep through
Some rappers are honest, but most are not. This is how I feel. I will fight for those who are loyal to me and expose those who try to cross me.

You think I'ma come this far, and let you niggas stop me now? I hate you too!!
Do you think I've gotten this far to let you stop me? I hate you as well!!

You wanna hate me then hate me; what can I do but keep gettin money, funny I was just like you
If you want to hate me, go ahead. I can't do anything about that, I'll just keep making money. It's funny because I used to be like you.

I had to hustle hard never give up, until I made it Now y'all sayin that's a clever nigga, nuttin to play with
I had to work hard and never give up until I became successful. Now people say I'm smart and dangerous.

Hate on me, I blew but I'm the same ol G People warn me, when you're on top there's envy
People can hate on me now that I'm successful, but I'm still the same old gangster. People warned me that when you're on top, people get jealous.

Took my niggas out the hood, but you doubt on us Sayin we left the hood but can't get it out of us
I took my friends out of the bad neighborhood, but people still doubt us. They say we've left the hood, but it's still a part of us.

My bad, should I step out my shoes, give 'em to you? Here's my cars and my house, you can live in that too
My mistake, do you want me to give you my shoes? Here are my cars and house, you can live in them as well.

Criticize when I flow for the streets, hate my dress code Gucci this, Fendi that, what you expect hoe?
People criticize me for rapping about the streets and don't like my fashion choices. I wear Gucci and Fendi, what did you expect?

Nickname Esco', took this game to its threshold Best flow I bet the whole U.S. know Try to make it like you the realest, but who the illest?
My nickname is Esco, and I took the rap game to its limits. I have the best flow and I bet the whole U.S. knows it. You try to act like you're the most genuine, but who's the best rapper?
