[Intro: various samples]
(2Pac) It's just me against the world baby
(Notorious B.I.G.) With your hat to the back, talking about the gats in your raps
(AZ) Life's a b**h, and then you die. That's why we get high, cause you never know when you're going to go
(Jay-Z) If you're having girl problems I feel bad for you son. I got 99 problems but the b**h ain't one
(Kanye West) Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe
(Pharcyde) Drop
[Verse 1]
This is not a one-up, I am doing it different
I bet you think you know what you about to hear before you listen, dismissive
Yeah I don't blame you, it's happened before
But now the kid is building hype I'm getting hard to ignore
I wrote the raps, made the beat with a sample from Soulstice
Made sure it wouldn't sound the same as my old sh**
And I promised that I wouldn't listen to all the bullsh**
That was telling me I'm fake or that I'm playing a role, sh**
You don't love me? That's fine
I ain't doing it for you or to get what's mine
Just because me and my friends love it, now I got fans from it?
Man, how could I have ran from it?
I'm a one man show, I got too much talent
With the thought like the Roots and the punches like Fallon
Even though I wrote these raps in the city of dreams
I'm still a small town boy trying to get in the scene, it's the Shock
[Interlude: Donnell Rawlings]
2Pac is alive, I saw 2Pac on 42nd street selling Biggie t-shirts, 2 for $10. 2Pac lives
[Hook]
(You want that soul sh**?) Well I'm with it
(You want some real sh**?) Yeah I"m with it
If you want beef well, come get it
I'm the next big thing I ain't the first to admit it
(You want that hot sh**?) Well I'm with it
(The rebirth of Pac sh**?) Yeah, I'm with it
If you want beef well, come get it
I'm the next big thing I'll be the first to admit it
[Verse 2]
Ace spits tsunamis, you cannot stop it
Hot, but I'm iced out like a Hotpocket
And I stay hungry cause I got a lot to prove
Rap game Sisyphus, I still got rocks to move
Like a Pokemon trainer, I got rocks to move
From Machoke to the Machamp, you can't stop me dude
Trying to drop me dude? I'm strapped like a hockey shoe
f**ing up the game, haters couldn't co*k block me dude
I'm in over my head
Trying to catch my dreams like the net that's over my bed
And I won't forget my crew, Yung Homie is dope
And much love goes to Grizzy cause he showed me the ropes
And now I'm smoking on cubano, pockets Rosie O'Donnell
Spitting sick sh** like a horny teen with mono
And I need a f**ing phone book for these b**hes I go through
Cause I'm selling out every damn show that I go to
[Chorus}
[Outro]
Word up
(?uestlove) 2Pac rest in peace x4
