Y'all Don't Know Us
Outlawz & 2Pac Lyrics

Yo, I can see
I understand

That you obviously don't know me or my homies
You have no knowledge or understanding of who I am or the people I associate with

We O-U-T Lawz, f*** the phonies
We are Outlawz, we have no tolerance for fake individuals

A wise hustler once told me, it's on you
An experienced individual advised me that I have control over my actions and decisions

Though it was dreams when he first told me Now it's true
Although it seemed like a far-fetched idea when I first heard it, now it has become a reality

I got love for you only to a certain extent
I have affection and care for you, but only to a certain limit

N****s ain't worth s***
These individuals are worthless and have no value

Cops and ride dick permits
Police officers have permission to excessively support and favor certain individuals

I heard this and heard that
I have heard various rumors and gossip

About them O-you-T Lawz
Regarding the Outlawz

Some of them soldiers got shot
Some of our comrades were injured by gunshots

Some of them soldiers fell off
Some of our companions lost their way or lost their prominence

F*** why'all now everybody tied to us
I don't care about any of you now that everyone wants to associate themselves with us

Hollering out a n**** name But never said what up
Calling out a person's name but never actually showing any respect or acknowledging their presence

That s*** critical, despicable, unforgivable
That behavior is extremely serious, disgraceful, and cannot be forgiven

I too like Hot ??
I also enjoy something that is popular or trendy

Your own fan won't remember you
Even your own fans will forget about you

Thuggin but we still spiritual, clear lyrical
Despite engaging in criminal activities, we maintain a sense of spirituality and have clear, meaningful lyrics

I'm like the f***in Deff Squad
I am similar to the formidable Deff Squad, a group known for their strength and skill

My ears ain't hearin' why'all
I am not listening to any of you

Pump fearin' why'all
I am instilling fear in all of you

But damn I ain't even wantin' to scare why'all
But honestly, I don't even want to intimidate or frighten any of you

Listen to what I tell why'all
Pay attention to the advice I am giving you

F*** the world, Your baby moms and your baby girl
I have no regard for the world, your child's mother, or your daughter

You muthaf***as so fake, Yo they made me want to earl
You individuals are so fake that it disgusts me

Blake, hate snakes thug hatin the degree
I despise deceitful people and my hatred for them is intense

Outlawz on a paper chase Can you relate thug n****z
The Outlawz are actively pursuing financial success, can you understand the mindset of a criminal

We will never fall
We will never be defeated

Through it all, we'll always stand tall
No matter what obstacles come our way, we will remain strong and resilient

'Cause in the end we'll be remembered as some young muthaf***a soldiers
Ultimately, we will be remembered as brave and determined individuals who fought for what we believed in

And if you believe in that s*** that you heard
If you have faith in the rumors and stories you have heard

Y'all don't know us, why'all don't know us
You have no understanding of who we truly are

Now I been trapped down
I have been in difficult situations

And f***ed since day one
And have been dealing with hardships since the beginning

This instructional style of mine ain't no fun
My way of teaching or guiding others is not enjoyable

Where I'm from
In the place I come from

You sure to see about 10 n****z in a bedroom
It is common to find approximately ten individuals crowded in a small room

Eating off the same spoon
Sharing limited resources and living in close quarters

Sweeping with the same broom
Performing household tasks together, even with limited supplies

It's hazard, it's you don't want yo life
It's dangerous, you don't want to lose your life

Well give me grab it
So take it if you dare

I was born inside a love zone
I was raised in a community filled with love and unity

With a glock-nine young marriage
Carrying a Glock-9 firearm at a young age

Then one of them sat down living so
Then one of them sat down and explained

Mystikal and empoious
With a mysterious and powerful perspective

With a heart full of anger it's so redicilous
Feeling excessive anger, which is irrational

So give me some with 21-gun soldier salute
So give me some respect and acknowledge my bravery with a traditional military honor

With a 19-inch black handle snake knife in my boots
Carrying a dangerous 19-inch knife concealed in my boots

I'm straight from the strong, thug to your life
I come from a place of strength and toughness, affecting your lifestyle

Right to yo wrong, I'll put the good to your evil
Even in the face of your wrongdoing, I will counter it with righteousness

I'm the shells to your chrome, you dig that?
I am the ammunition for your gun, do you understand?

I'm life, I'll bring the moon to your night
I am vibrant and full of life, I will bring happiness to your dark times

I'll put the dick to your wife
I will engage in sexual relations with your wife

And I'm the Jesuz of your Christ
I am like a messiah or savior figure to you

You dig that? respect this
Do you understand? Show me respect

I'll bring the end to your claw
I will bring an end to your power or influence

I'll bring the loc to your heart
I will bring fear and danger to your core being

And I'll put the snoop on yo dogs
I will expose and reveal the true nature of your associates

You hear me?
Do you understand what I'm saying?

We follow, this little bullet so hollow
We are obedient and driven, like a small, empty bullet

I can promise that estacy ain't promised tomorrow
I can guarantee that intense pleasure is not guaranteed in the future

With this two man mades
With these artificial weapons

Me and my soul death astrayed
Me and my damaged soul have gone astray

I watch my parents get blowed away
I witnessed my parents being killed

Now look what it made
Now observe the effect it has had on me

I'm something to face
I am someone to be reckoned with

This ludacy then with me, then with chemistry
This craziness that is associated with me, combined with my personality and demeanor

Got my eyes on you, the first time you cross me I'll be frying you
You have caught my attention, and if you betray me, I will harm you

Cause why'all don't know me
Because none of you truly know who I am

When we was kids, the loving felt good
When we were young, experiencing loving relationships felt positive

But of course have the respect
But it was necessary to show respect

Though it's even better
Although it is now even more satisfying

Now for this chedder
Now for this money

N****z is laying deader
People are dying

Then Malcolm and Martin put together
At a rate greater than the combined deaths of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr.

Oh Lord only knows where we'll end up
Only God knows where our lives will lead us

Remember what Pac said
Remember the words of Tupac

Watch the f***in signs
Pay attention to the signs and warnings

But we wasn't listening
But we failed to listen

Too busy trippin off his shine
Too preoccupied envying or being jealous of his success

Now one time for my muthaf***in' Outlawz
Now let's have a moment of recognition for my fellow Outlawz

May we all roll
May we all succeed and be victorious

And if you don't know
And if you are unaware

We got the rap game petro
We have control and domination over the rap game

Scared 'cause we bout to release
Feeling intimidated because we are about to release something

Like heavy metal
With the intensity of heavy metal music

Nationwide, underground
Reaching an extensive audience, particularly those in the underground music scene

We running the ghettos
We have control and power over the impoverished neighborhoods

Stealing all of ya fan base like we kleptos
Taking away all of your fan base as if we were professional thieves

B**** I can't let go
I cannot give up or surrender

I been strugglin' too long, thuggin' too long
I have been enduring hardships and living a life of crime for too long

And n****z is stealing my s***
And people are plagiarizing my work

And busting it wrong
And misrepresenting or mishandling it

Hot shots holla back when you get 'em
Show your appreciation or respond when you receive my powerful messages or attacks

Outlawz'll sic 'em, bustin back at the system
The Outlawz will attack and retaliate against the system or establishment

Military wisdom
Knowledge and insight learned through the experiences of combat or warfare

Preparing myself for armegeddom
Getting ready for a great and decisive battle or conflict

Breaking my balls at this game
Struggling and enduring hardship in this competitive industry

Knowing it's a dead end
Understanding that it will ultimately lead to failure

And my only weapon
And my only means of defense or attack

Is my believe that I'm superior
Is my confidence and conviction that I am superior

Yeah we the muthaf***as
Yes, we are the individuals

That you n****z is liery off
That you individuals are intimidated by or jealous of

Controlling my steam
Maintaining control and composure

Knowing my team to deserve more
Recognizing that my team deserves greater recognition and success

F*** the reframe
Disregard the limitations or restrictions

Stick to the game and earn more
Stay committed to the industry and achieve greater success

Holding my head, rolling the head with focus
Keeping my composure and staying determined

Laughing inside
Feeling a sense of amusement internally

'Cause deep inside why'all don't know us
Because deep down, none of you truly know us

We will never fall
We will never be defeated

Through it all, we'll always stand tall
No matter what obstacles come our way, we will remain strong and resilient

'Cause in the end we'll be remembered as some young muthaf***a soldiers
Ultimately, we will be remembered as brave and determined individuals who fought for what we believed in

And if you believe in that s*** that you heard
If you have faith in the rumors and stories you have heard

Why'all don't know us, why'all don't know us
You have no understanding of who we truly are

We will never fall
We will never be defeated

Through the war, we'll always stand tall
No matter what battles we face, we will always remain strong

'Cause in the end we'll be remembered as some young muthaf***a soldiers
Ultimately, we will be remembered as brave and determined individuals who fought for what we believed in

And if you believe in that s*** that you heard
If you have faith in the rumors and stories you have heard

Y'all don't know us, y'all don't know us
You have no understanding of who we truly are

Ain't never know n****z like us boy
You have never encountered individuals like us, my friend

They don't make n****z like us no more
People like us are no longer being produced

Thug in Peace.. to all my n****z (Never)
May my fellow thugs rest in peace (never forgotten)

See ya soon.. uhh
Until we meet again...
