[Intro: 2Pac]
We're live in Marin City, joining the manhunt for the four suspects in the Marin City massacre, where six police officers and three informants have been brutally murdered by the Jungle Posse. Police seem to be baffled to the whereabouts of these four suspects. D-Money easily spotted in candy burgundy Mercedes-Benz. Playa-Playa last seen in the 79 tall buildings. Whizz last spotted in high-speed pursuit with the CHP. 2Pacalypse, alleged rhyme boss set to have plotted and engineered the entire attack. These four men are armed, dangerous and should be considered a threat to all law enforcement agencies. Shoot to kill

[Verse 1: 2Pac]
Born in the days of a criminal
Runnin' from the cops and can't let 'em see me
So I'm hopin' out the Benz
It's time to let the valet step, gotta make my ends
So business on the undertip, all coppers will be dropped
So tell them not to fuck with me, if Oaktown gets too hot
I'm headin' for Marin City
Though hunted like a fugitive, them punks will never capture me
TEC-9 on my side, ooh, sting in back of me
And black from head to toe, I move and there's a silence
The smoothest criminal, a lunatic for violence
So I be takin' no shorts when the shit get scandalous
Perkin' off the zesty, so nigga, we can handle this
Run up and get smacked up, backed up and smacked down
I'm a playa, there's more in the J-town
Bitches wanna jock, and run they hands all in my hair
Ho give up the cock, or you can get up outta here
I'm livin' like a mack, the narcist will be minimal
Niggas gettin' jacked with they caps peeled back
In the days of a criminal

[Chorus: Kendrick Wells & 2Pac]
All in the days of a criminal
All in the days of a criminal (In the days of a)
All—all in the days of a criminal (In the days of a)
All—all in the days of a criminal (In the days of a)
All—all in the days of a criminal (Thug goal!)

[Verse 2: 2Pac]
I'm kickin' kilos, but I started with a quarter ounce
Servin' with eight, 'cause every little dollar counts
Makin' my grits, and tryin' to get my mail on
So fuck a cop, he'll get dropped if he steps wrong
I'm the bad guy, everybody points at me
But fuck 'em all, as long as the tweakers happy
Makin' my cash flow, how long will it last though?
Pimpin' ain't easy, but I'm still leavin' your ass broke
Pass the vapors as the papers will be comin' in
I'll get the guts, and give a fuck about being a friend
Bitch, I'm a playa, I got no time to be bothered with
Havin' no babies in no long-term relationships
Because a bitch'll be a bitch no matter what you'll say
That's why I fuck 'em, bust a nut, then I'm on my way
Soon as I finish I'll regret I even fucked a whore
'Cause she'll be blowin' up my beeper before I shut the door
But fuck a bitch, I keep my mind on my green 'cause yo
That's how I'm livin' in the days of a criminal

[Chorus: Kendrick Wells & 2Pac]
All in the days of a criminal
All in the days of a criminal (In the days of a)
All in the days of a criminal (In the days of a)
All in the days of a criminal (In the days of a)
All—all in the days of a criminal (Thug goal!)

[Verse 3: 2Pac]
It's the menace of Marin, I've killed, I'll kill again
Ain't nothing funny 'bout the game I'm rollin' in
You got a problem with it, mister, handle yours
I ain't no joke, I'll have you broke down to your draws
I'm trigger happy, and I give less than a fuck
Love me or hate me, I'ma sho' 'nough rip shit up
It's Mr. Nothin', nice on the mic stand
Mic in the left and the zest in my right hand
I took a puff, had enough now, hold up
If that was indo, niggas gettin' rolled up
You think not gettin' dropped, we can handle this
'Cause 2Pac brain locked on a cannabis
Days are dangerous, shoot 'em, but you can't miss
I never tripped off your bitch 'cause she scandalous
Now come and get a good look at the crook
Who lives his life on the streets of the Jungle
Some call me animal, tell me how you figure though?
Put 'em in a nip, in the days of a criminal

[Chorus: Kendrick Wells & 2Pac]
All in the days of a criminal
All in the days of a criminal (In the days of a)
All in the days of a criminal (In the days of a)
All in the days of a criminal (In the days of a)
All—all in the days of a criminal (Thug goal!)

[Verse 4: 2Pac]
Straight jackin', nigga I'm lethal when I'm loc'd out
Like crack, take the breath out your body, leave you smoked out
Talk shit if you wanna, but you'll get fucked, the game is thick
Rollin' in Dayton's pimpin' and playin' a sucka, bitch
Ask who's the mack? In fact let's check out the men in black
'Cause Whizz'll be gettin' his strictly biz, I'll be makin' stacks
5.0, rollin' low in the J-town
Eyes on this as I dip with the top-down
Draped in silk, more gold than a Aztec
I'm pimpin', it ain't many hoes I ain't had yet
"But what's the whizz stand for?" Bitch, ask me
Well, that's the sound as I pass the Lassie
You toe-up, toe-down, ran though, beat down
Hoes then stroll through the streets of the J-town
Whizz'll be gettin' his grit and gettin' his dick licked
And don't have to trick, bitch
Stand back and check yo' self 'cause you're livin' low
While I'm gettin' paid and laid in the days of a criminal

[Outro: Kendrick Wells & 2Pac]
All—all—all in the days of a criminal
All in the days of a criminal (In the days of a)
All in the days of a criminal (In the day—in the days of a)
All in the days of a criminal (In the day—in the days of a)
All in the days of a criminal (Thug goal!)
All in the days of— all in the—all in the day—all in the days of a criminal (Doggo!)
All in the day— all in the day—all in the—all—all—all—all—all—all—all—all—all—all—all—all in the days of a criminal (In the days of a)
All in the days of a criminal (In the day—in the days of a)
All in the days of a criminal (In the days of a—in the—in the—in the days of a)
All in the days of a criminal (Thug goal!)
All in the days of a criminal

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.
