[Intro]
Yeah
Who'll be the last mothafucka breathin'?
Tell me nigga, tell me
Who'll be the last mothafucka breathin'?

[Hook]
Stressed, but busta free
Enemies give me reason
To be the last mothafucka breathin'
Bustin', my automatic rounds
Catch 'em while they sleepin'
Now I'm the last mothafucka breathin'
Stressed, but busta free
Enemies give me reason
To be the last mothafucka breathin'
Bustin', my automatic rounds
Catch 'em while they sleepin'
Now I'm the last mothafucka breathin'

[Verse 1]
Woke up with fifty enemies plottin' my death
All fifty seein' visions of me shot in the chest
Couldn't rest, nah nigga I was stressed
Had me creepin' 'round corners, homie sleepin' in my vest
Shit, I'm like a hostage on this troubled block
Call the cops, a thug nigga screamin' "West Side"
Bustin' double Glocks, hittin' corners in my Chevy Suburban
Liquor got me drivin' up on the curb, hand on the steerin' wheel swervin'
Bless me, Father I'm sinner, I'm livin' in hell
Just let me live on the streets, 'cause ain't no peace for me in jail
Gettin' world-wide exposure
With a bunch of niggas that don't give a FUCK, ridin' as my soldiers
I just release 'em on a war path, not your average dealer
Westside Outlaw; Bad Boy killer, huh
Complete my mission my competition no longer beefin'
I murdered all them bustas, now I'm the last mothafucka breathin'

[Hook]
Stressed, but busta free
Enemies give me reason
To be the last mothafucka breathin'
Bustin', my automatic rounds
Catch 'em while they sleepin'
Now I'm the last mothafucka breathin'

[Intermission]

[Hook]
Stressed, but busta free
Enemies give me reason
To be the last mothafucka breathin'
Bustin', my automatic rounds
Catch 'em while they sleepin'
Now I'm the last mothafucka breathin'

[Verse 2]
Hoppin' out my four-door Chevy
In this game I'm still heavy
Rather be your N.I.G.G.A., if you still let me
Promise not to cum quick
You fuckin' around with the Don bitch
I run shit, with one clip
Mr. Makaveli quick to mack, go back to the telly
I fuck a bitch like I'm psychotic, I think that's what they tell me
Fuck around I don't fight fair, a worldwide mob figga
Local nightmare, just call 'em right there
Open fire, 'cause my desire is to ride
Got every nigga signed to Bad Boy, prayin' that I die
Some have prophesized homicide, some have tried
They couldn't see the coward in they eyes, 'til they died
They wonder why, they targets
Defenseless, when my squad hits
Hard niggas—

Tupac Amaru Shakur (June 16, 1971 – September 13, 1996), known by his stage names 2Pac and Makaveli, was an actor and a highly influential rapper who is considered by many to be the greatest of all-time due to the revolutionary spirit and thug passion he mixed into his music. During his music career, he made appearances in movies such as his acclaimed debut in Juice (1992), Poetic Justice (1993), and Above the Rim (1994).

Born in Harlem, New York City to Black Panther Party members Billy Garland and Afeni Shakur, Tupac would later move to Baltimore before settling in the Bay Area cities of Oakland and Marin City in the late 1980s. There, he joined his first rap group Strictly Dope with Ray Luv before connecting with Shock G and Digital Underground. He was a roadie and backup dancer for the group before his breakthrough performance on their 1991 song “Same Song.”

2Pac released his debut album 2Pacalypse Now in 1991, which featured intense storytelling on singles such as “Trapped” and “Brenda’s Got a Baby.” His sophomore album Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z featured one of his signature songs, the Digital Underground-assisted “I Get Around.” After working on the Thug Life group album in 1994, 2Pac released Me Against the World the following year, which is considered by many to be his best album, peaking at #1 on the Billboard 200 and receiving a Grammy nomination—all while he sat in prison.
