Pac
Hey
What's happenin'
Not motherfuckin' double R, Richie Rich
What's happenin' baby, you know how we do it
Yeah nigga, you know I'm up out this bitch
It's time for me to uh, regulate
Fo' sho', hey
Observe
And you ain't goin' back
Nah, nah, nah, we got to show these motherfuckers what's up though
This is for the honeys, the super?
I don't want to be her man, I want to be her nigga
You feel me?
Well let 'em know

You fuckin' wit' niggas that's insecure, watered down, my shit is pure
Write down my number but don't call me 'til you sure
I ain't beggin' just tryin' to relocate between ya legs
Drippin' wet, as we experiment in sweaty sex
When you met me you wouldn't let me, and now
You straight beggin' to sex me got you undressin' to test me and uh

Shut me down if ya want, and miss the chance to do it live
When I stroll by, I see that look in yo' eye
You wants a nigga, but think that you can't have a nigga
Don't cheat yourself, instead treat yourself
If you scared, go to church, I know it hurts
To find out me and your man be sharin' skirts

I hopin' you don't take this the wrong way
But your body is bangin' got me attracted in a strong way
After a long day of tryna make my songs pay
Makin' love all day against the wall in the hallway
Your fantasies come alive, your heart rate
Shall increase when we meet up in this dark place
You might think you're happy with him
But that's a lie, so give this thug a try
I'd rather be your nigga

I'd rather be ya N-I-G-G-A
So we can get drunk and smoke weed all day
It don't matter if you lonely baby, you need a thug in your life
'Cause busters ain't lovin' you right

I'd rather be ya N-I-G-G-A (I'd rather be you nigga)
So we can get drunk and smoke weed all day
It don't matter if you lonely baby, you need a thug in your life
'Cause busters ain't lovin' you right

Look, now you was sprung from the introduction
My conversation's full of game yet laced with seductions
I see ya blushin' like ya want somethin', come get a taste
Of Amerikaz Most Wanted and let's get into some touchin', erotic fuckin'
My up and down with no interruptions
Have no intentions of bustin' until you learn your lesson
Now many questions are often asked, a drop top, 500-Benz
And plenty cash, to help a nigga get the ass

You can ride out the spoke coke, to get your lobster and crab
'Cause all I got is conversation and a gang of stab
And I'ma listen when it hurts, I'ma hang out but never stay
Smoke blunts but leave them stunts up to Super Dave
I'll be your nigga, as long as we can understand
That I's the nigga whose spoke coke can be the man
He wine and dine, but me and you we whine and grind
And when I'm on the field, keep him on the sidelines

I'd rather be ya N-I-G-G-A (I'd rather be your nigga)
So we can get drunk and smoke weed all day
It don't matter if you lonely baby, you need a thug in your life
'Cause busters ain't lovin' you right

I'd rather be ya N-I-G-G-A (I'd rather be your nigga)
So we can get drunk and smoke weed all day
It don't matter if you lonely baby, you need a thug in your life
'Cause busters ain't lovin' you right

Now it's time for the moment of truth, I got ya naked
Totally sweatin', let's see how hot I can make it
Tongue kissin' 'til yo' head swang, I'm so into you
Witness a nigga make the bed bang
If it's all mine, then let me know, now scream my name out
Do you want it fast or shall I hit it slow?
Not to mention, the multiple positions I inflict
A boss playa, freaky motherfucker, can I dick

Uh, it's on and poppin', now you seed what I was seein'
Why yo' eyes rollin', Luke seen ya girl I ain't goin'
Nowhere, let's let that sucker stay out there
While he's stressed out and knock I stretch out the cock
Hold da boots, and let da nigga execute
And though you got it right, I'm goin' home tonight

You say you don't need a man, but I don't care
You in the presence of a playa

I'd rather be ya N-I-G-G-A (I'd rather be your nigga)
So we can get drunk and smoke weed all day
It don't matter if you lonely baby, you need a thug in your life
'Cause busters ain't lovin' you right

I'd rather be ya N-I-G-G-A (I'd rather be your nigga)
So we can get drunk and smoke weed all day
It don't matter if you lonely baby, you need a thug in your life
'Cause busters ain't lovin' you right

I'd rather be ya N-I-G-G-A (I'd rather be your nigga)
So we can get drunk and smoke weed all day
It don't matter if you lonely baby, you need a thug in your life
'Cause busters ain't lovin' you right





I'd rather be ya N-I-G-G-A (I'd rather be your nigga)

Overall Meaning

The song "Rather Be Ya Nigga" by 2Pac feat. Richie Rich is a classic hip-hop track that talks about the rapper's desire to be with a woman who understands him and accepts him as he is, flaws and all. In the song's first verse, 2Pac claims that he is not like other men who are insecure and watered down, but rather, he is the real deal. He urges the woman to give him a chance, insisting that he won't beg her to be with him, but rather, he'll let their chemistry lead the way.


In the chorus, 2Pac repeats his desire to be the woman's "N-I-G-G-A" and offers to spend his days getting drunk and high with her. He says that busters (weak men) are not capable of loving her the way he can. In the second verse, 2Pac gets more explicit about his sexual desires, talking about making love to the woman all day against a wall in a hallway. He says that he wants to teach her how to have great sex and make her feel things she's never felt before.


The song is an excellent example of 2Pac's provocative and charismatic style, as well as his ability to mix romantic longing with brash bravado. It is also a tribute to the classic West Coast hip-hop sound of the '90s, with its heavy beats, flirty melodies, and boastful lyrics.

Do you understand what I am saying?


Well let 'em know
Tell them


You fuckin' wit' niggas that's insecure, watered down, my shit is pure
You are involving yourself with weak, inferior men, while I am genuine


Write down my number but don't call me 'til you sure
Take my number, but only contact me when you are certain


I ain't beggin' just tryin' to relocate between ya legs
I'm not pleading, just trying to engage in sexual activity with you


Drippin' wet, as we experiment in sweaty sex
Engage in passionate sex, with us both sweating heavily


When you met me you wouldn't let me, and now
When we first met, you didn't want me, but now


You straight beggin' to sex me got you undressin' to test me and uh
You are now keen to have sex and are undressing to entice me


Shut me down if ya want, and miss the chance to do it live
Reject me if you choose, but miss the opportunity to have sex in person


When I stroll by, I see that look in yo' eye
When I walk by, I notice the way you look at me


You wants a nigga, but think that you can't have a nigga
You desire a lover like me, but believe you are not capable of obtaining one


Don't cheat yourself, instead treat yourself
Don't deny yourself the pleasure, instead indulge in it


If you scared, go to church, I know it hurts
If you are hesitant, seek guidance from religion, even though it may be difficult


To find out me and your man be sharin' skirts
To discover that I am having sex with your partner too


I hopin' you don't take this the wrong way
I hope you don't interpret this negatively


But your body is bangin' got me attracted in a strong way
Your physique is incredibly attractive to me


After a long day of tryna make my songs pay
After a long day of working to make a living as a musician


Makin' love all day against the wall in the hallway
Having sex repeatedly in various locations


Your fantasies come alive, your heart rate
Your dreams become a reality, your heart beats faster


Shall increase when we meet up in this dark place
Shall rise when we meet in this private location


You might think you're happy with him
You may feel content with your current partner


But that's a lie, so give this thug a try
That is not true, so consider pursuing a relationship with a thug like me


I'd rather be your nigga
I would prefer to be your lover


I'd rather be ya N-I-G-G-A
I would prefer to be your lover


So we can get drunk and smoke weed all day
So we can drink alcohol and smoke marijuana all day


It don't matter if you lonely baby, you need a thug in your life
It doesn't matter if you're feeling lonely, you require a thug in your life


'Cause busters ain't lovin' you right
Because weak men are incapable of satisfying you emotionally or physically


Look, now you was sprung from the introduction
Now you are attracted to me based on our initial meeting


My conversation's full of game yet laced with seductions
My words are charming and enticing


I see ya blushin' like ya want somethin', come get a taste
I see you blushing, indicating that you desire me, so act on it


Of Amerikaz Most Wanted and let's get into some touchin', erotic fuckin'
Of Amerikaz Most Wanted music and engage in physical, sexual activity


My up and down with no interruptions
My rhythmic motion without any interference


Have no intentions of bustin' until you learn your lesson
I won't have an orgasm until you have satisfied your desires


Now many questions are often asked, a drop top, 500-Benz
Many questions are asked, such as owning a convertible Mercedes-Benz 500


And plenty cash, to help a nigga get the ass
And plenty of money, which attracts women


You can ride out the spoke coke, to get your lobster and crab
You can tolerate my drug use to enjoy fancy foods


'Cause all I got is conversation and a gang of stab
I have only my charm and the ability to defend myself


And I'ma listen when it hurts, I'ma hang out but never stay
I will listen to your problems, but won't stick around for too long


Smoke blunts but leave them stunts up to Super Dave
Smoke marijuana, but let my friends undertake potentially dangerous activities


I'll be your nigga, as long as we can understand
I'll be your lover, provided we have mutual understanding


That I's the nigga whose spoke coke can be the man
I am the thug who can provide for you


He wine and dine, but me and you we whine and grind
He takes you out for fancy meals, but we have passionate sex


And when I'm on the field, keep him on the sidelines
When I am present, ignore him


Now it's time for the moment of truth, I got ya naked
It's time to be honest, I have you completely vulnerable


Totally sweatin', let's see how hot I can make it
Sweating heavily, let's see how passionate we can be


Tongue kissin' 'til yo' head swang, I'm so into you
Intense French kissing, showing how deeply I am attracted to you


Witness a nigga make the bed bang
Experience incredible sex


If it's all mine, then let me know, now scream my name out
If you are completely mine, tell me and scream my name


Do you want it fast or shall I hit it slow?
Would you prefer fast or slow sex?


Not to mention, the multiple positions I inflict
Additionally, I am able to perform numerous techniques


A boss playa, freaky motherfucker, can I dick
An influential individual with a talent for sex, can I have sex?


Uh, it's on and poppin', now you seed what I was seein'
Now things are getting started, you are witnessing what I envisioned


Why yo' eyes rollin', Luke seen ya girl I ain't goin'
Why are you rolling your eyes? I know that Luke saw you


Nowhere, let's let that sucker stay out there
Nowhere, let's not invite him in


While he's stressed out and knock I stretch out the cock
While he is worried, I continue having sex


Hold da boots, and let da nigga execute
Wait patiently for me to complete the act


And though you got it right, I'm goin' home tonight
Even though you are correct, I am leaving now


You say you don't need a man, but I don't care
You claim you do not require a lover, but I do not believe you


You in the presence of a playa
You are with a skilled lover
