Against All Odds
Trae Feat. 2Pac Lyrics

To my niggas that went out in the line of duty
This is to honor and remember all my friends who died while serving their duties.

21 gun salute
A military tradition to fire 21-guns to pay last respects to the fallen soldiers.

One love, one thug, one nation (let's get down, let's do this)
Let's come together as one and work towards a unified goal.

All the time I be Hoping my true motherfuckers know This be the realest shit I ever wrote (against all odds)
I hope all my real friends realize that these lyrics are the most authentic ones I've ever written.

Up in the studio, getting blowed To the truest shit I ever spoke 21 gun salute, dressed in fatigues, black jeans and boots
In the studio, I'm smoking and telling the truest stories of my life. I'm dressed like a soldier with the utmost respect for fallen soldiers.

I just appeared in the crowd, all you seen was troops
I'm so influential that when I show up, all you see is a crowd of soldiers.

This little nigga named Nas think he live like me He talk about he left the hospital, took five like me You living fantasies, nigga, I reject your deposit
Nas thinks he's living a similar lifestyle to mine because he took five shots like me. But that's just a fantasy. I don't believe him.

We shook Dre punk ass, now he out of the closet
Dr. Dre was scared of us, but now he's out of the closet and no longer hiding.

Mobb Deep wonder why a nigga blowed 'em out Next time grown folks talking, nigga, close your mouth
Mobb Deep is questioning me as to why I dissed them. If they want to talk, they should learn to keep their mouths shut.

Peep me, I take this war shit deeply Done seen too many real players fall to let these bitch niggas to beat me
I take war seriously and have seen too many loyal friends die to let anyone beat me.

And you can tell the people you roll with whatever you want But you and I know what's going on
You can lie to your followers all you want. But we both know the truth.

Payback, I knew you bitch niggas from way back Witness me strapped with MAC's, knew I wouldn't play that
I knew I would have to get revenge on some of these fake friends who I have known for a long time. They saw me with guns before, knowing that I wouldn't tolerate their actions.

All you old rappers tryin' to advance It's all over now, take it like a man (trick ass square)
It's too late for old rappers to advance. Accept your defeat like a man.

Niggas looking like, Larry Holmes, flabby and sick (look at De La Soul) Tryna player hate on my shit, you can eat a fat dick
Stop hating on my music and focus on your own career instead of looking old and fat like Larry Holmes or De La Soul.

Let it be known, this how you made me Lovin' how I got you niggas crazy (nigga) Against all odds
Remember, you made me like this. I love how I'm driving all you fake friends crazy. And I'm doing all of this against all odds.

I heard he was light skinned, stocky, with a Haitian accent Jewelry, fast cars and he's known for flashing (what's his name?) Listen while I take you back and lace this rap (nigga, say his name) A real live tale about a snitch named Haitian Jack Knew he was working for the feds, same crime, different trial (I knew it) Nigga, picture what he said, and did I mention Promised to payback, Jimmy Henchmen, in due time
I know somebody with certain features and habits. Let me tell you a true story he was involved in. There was a snitch named Haitian Jack, working for the feds and in a similar crime as me. He promised to take me down and Jimmy Henchmen in due time.

I knew you bitch niggas is listening, the world is mine Set me up, wet me up, niggas stuck me up (I'm back) Heard the guns bust, but you tricks never shut me up (I'm back) Touch one of mine, on everything I own I will destroy everything you touch, play the game, nigga
I know all of you fake friends are listening to this song. But I'm back, even after you tried to take me out. And if you touch any of my real friends, I'll destroy everything you ever touched. Play the game if you want, but at your own risk.

All out warfare, eye for eye Last words to a bitch nigga, why you lie?
We are in a state of all-out war, and we're going eye for an eye. To my fake friend, this is the last time I'm speaking to you. Why did you lie?

Now you gotta watch your back, now watch your front Here we come, gunshots to Tut, now you stuck
You better watch out for yourself now that you've crossed me. My soldiers are coming for you, and there's no escape now.

Fuck the rap game nigga, nigga, this M.O.B So believe me, we enemies I go against all odds
I don't care about the rap game anymore. I'm all about M.O.B. and whoever comes in my way is an enemy. I'm ready to face all odds.

21 gun salute, one love to my true thug niggas (Outlaw! Outlaw! Outlaw!) 21 gun salute to my niggas that died in the line of duty Representin' to the fullest, being soldiers with military minds That play the rules of the game, 21 gun salute I salute you, my niggas, stay strong I ride for you, I rhyme for you, I roll for you, it's all for you
Another 21 gun salute for my true thug friends who died in the line of duty. You were soldiers with honorable minds playing by the rules of the game. I salute you, always stay strong. I'm here for you in everything I do.

To all you bitch made niggas, I'm comin' for you Against all odds, I don't care who the fuck you is, nigga You touch me, I'm at you
To all the fake friends out there, beware. Against all odds, I'll come after you even if you're someone important. Touch me and I'll come straight at you.

I know you motherfuckers didn't think I forgot Hell nah, I ain't forgot, nigga I just remember what you told me You said don't go to war unless I got my money right Aight I got my money right, nigga, now I want war
You thought I forgot what you said to me? No way. I remember perfectly what you told me. But now I have my money and I'm ready for war.
