Tupac feat 50 Cent Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo Redd Spyder (ooh-wee)
Is that 50 Cent/Pac joint ready?
Let me know, holla

There's gon' be some stuff you gon' see
That's gon' make it hard to smile in the future

Yeah nigga! Ha ha
Let's go nigga, this is what it is
2Pac cut his head bald
Then you wanna cut yo' head bald (You pussy nigga!)
2Pac wear a bandana
You wan' wear a bandana
2Pac put a cross on his back
You wanna put crosses on yo' back
Nigga you ain't 2Pac, this 2Pac!

Is it, money or women to funny beginnings, tragic endings
I can make a million and still not get enough of spending
And since my life is based on sinnin', I'm hell bound
Rather be buried than be worried, livin' held down
My game plan to be trained and, military
Mind of a Thug Lord, sittin' in the cemetery
Caught, I've been lost since my adolescence, callin to Jesus
Ballin' as a youngster, wonderin' if he sees us
Young black male, crack sales got me three strikes
Livin' in jail, this is hell, enemies die
Wonder when we all pass is anybody listenin?
Got my, hands on my semi shotty, everybody's bitchin'
Please God can you understand me, bless my family
Guide us all, before we fall into insanity
I make it a point, to make my peep bumpin' warlike
Drop some shit, to any stupid bitches don't fight

'Til Makaveli returns, it's All Eyez On Me
(What do we have here now?)
And you can hate it or love it, but that's what it's gon' be
(Ohh)
You shoulda listened, I told you not to fuck with me
(What do we have here now?)
Now can you take the pressure, that's what we gon' see

Now since you're cryin' for mercy I promise
My success'll be the death of you
Lo and behold you sold your soul
Nigga there's nuttin' left of you
Look in the mirror, ask yourself who are you?
If you don't know who you are, how could your dreams come true?
Motherfucker, I sat back and watched
You pretended to be 'Pac, you pretended to be hot
But you're not (Now) I see it so clear
You can't take the pressure, you pussy
I warned you not to push me
You see me and chills run up your spine
Hardly even in the same war, but your heart ain't like mine
Press, they look at me like I'm a menace
I was playin' with guns
While your momma had your punk ass playin' tennis
I'm a nightmare, you see me when you dream
Wake up, turn on your TV and see my ass again
You cowardly hearted, you couldn't make it on your own
Fuck The Source, I'm on cover of Rolling Stone
(You pussy!)

'Til Makaveli returns, it's All Eyez On Me
(What do we have here now?)
And you can hate it or love it, but that's what it's gon' be
(Ohh)
You shoulda listened, I told you not to fuck with me
(What do we have here now?)
Now can you take the pressure, that's what we gon' see

G-G-G-G-Unit!

'Til Makaveli returns, it's All Eyez On Me
(What do we have here now?)
And you can hate it or love it, but that's what it's gon' be
(Ohh)
You shoulda listened, I told you not to fuck with me




(What do we have here now?)
Now can you take the pressure, that's what we gon' see

Overall Meaning

The Realist Killaz is a song by 2Pac featuring 50 Cent that was released posthumously on the Pac's album Better Dayz in 2002. The song was produced by Red Spyda and its lyrics can be interpreted as a stern warning to a pretender who wants to emulate 2Pac's legacy. The opening lyrics of the song warn its listeners that some of the content may be unsettling and could make it hard to find reasons to smile in the future. The song quickly goes into a seemingly aggressive mode where 2Pac accuses his target of copying his style, looks, and even stage performance.


As the song progresses, 2Pac tells a story of his life that leads him to believe that he was destined to be a thug. He describes himself as a lost adolescent who found solace in sinnin' and living hell-bound. He knew that he was going to end up in the cemetery, and although that was not his preferred resting place, he does not want to be a burden on his family while living, worrying about what could happen. The song has several expression-filled verses where 2Pac's emotions can be felt as he paints a picture of his life using his lyrics.


The song's chorus 'Til Makaveli returns, it's All Eyez On Me' refers to 2Pac's alias Makaveli, and his fourth studio album 'All Eyez on Me'. Makaveli is an Italian politician, philosopher, and writer who was famous for his writings about deceit, and the idea that there is a price one pays to lead. 2Pac believed in Makaveli's teachings, and he named his final album after them. The Realist Killaz features the G-Unit's signature slogan 'G-G-G-G-Unit' towards the end of the song.


Line by Line Meaning

There's gon' be some stuff you gon' see That's gon' make it hard to smile in the future
Life is going to throw some difficult experiences your way that will make it hard for you to feel happy later on.


Since my life is based on sinnin', I'm hell bound Rather be buried than be worried, livin' held down
I know I'm a sinner and that I'm bound for hell, but I'd rather die and be free than stay here on Earth and be burdened by all my worries.


Please God can you understand me, bless my family Guide us all, before we fall into insanity
God, please help me and my family stay sane and safe in this crazy world.


'Til Makaveli returns, it's All Eyez On Me (What do we have here now?) And you can hate it or love it, but that's what it's gon' be (Ohh) You shoulda listened, I told you not to fuck with me (What do we have here now?) Now can you take the pressure, that's what we gon' see
Until Tupac comes back, everyone's paying attention to me. You should've heeded my warning not to mess with me. Can you handle the pressure that comes with trying to compete with me?


Motherfucker, I sat back and watched You pretended to be 'Pac, you pretended to be hot But you're not (Now) I see it so clear You can't take the pressure, you pussy I warned you not to push me
I observed you trying to copy Tupac's style and pretending to be cool like him, but you're not even close. You can't handle the pressure of trying to compete with me, and I already warned you about that.


Press, they look at me like I'm a menace I was playin' with guns While your momma had your punk ass playin' tennis
The media portrays me as a dangerous person, but while I was playing with guns, you were playing a harmless sport like tennis.
