[Intro: 2Pac]
Haha, that's right, aight
Storm, motherfuckers ain't really knowin'
If you can flow or not, do shit like that!

[Verse 1: 2Pac & Storm]
Holler my name, nigga, you ridin' to scream
Must be a thug with a heart to be a part of my team
It seems we got a problem
We ain't lettin' no women and the feminine side
Has been denied time to give 'em a try
Finally made it, now focus
Who the dopest? Is it the brothers or the sisters
I agree, it's a man's world, but why must niggas diss us
I ain't tryin' to hear it, witness my thug spirit
They keep on screamin' "bitches"
'Cause niggas love to hear it
Called on my dawgs, 'cause they rowdy than a motherfucker
I love you niggas like brothers, but don't fuck with me
Oh you bad now, look at what we got, Miss Billy Badass
Runnin' round, packin' double Glocks, uh
So all you niggas be warned, from the dusk 'til the dawn
We might trip, but I dare you tricks to fuck around with Storm
We Outlawz, I said it and meant it
And when you see me live on TV, it's strictly representin'
Now, let me hear you scream

[Chorus 1: 2Pac & Storm]
This is for my niggas
Only for my niggas, for my niggas
Let me see you throw your hands up
This is for my sistas
Only for my sistas, for my sistas
Let me see you throw your hands up

[Verse 2: 2Pac & Storm]
Now when I say Pig, you say B-I-G
When I say Bad Boy killer, then you say me
When I say Puffy is a punk, you scream word on my life
I wrote this shit while fuckin' Big's wife
Now I been told that Lil Kim think she hot
She not
Better get that attitude adjusted 'fore I mash your spot
Plus now Da Brat's trippin', must want an ass whippin'
We be the first ones to fuck with you and Bad Boy, wack bitch
Bustin' through Brooklyn, lickin' my shots to Queens
'Cause I'm lookin' for Little Shawn, that bitch ass fiend
I bet you scream like last year
Best don't come to California, we don't want your busta ass here
We outlaw riders, thugs 'til we die
Sistas get they groove on
Niggas gettin' high
Call me a motherfuckin' troublemaker
Send me to jail, but watch me bust on LL
Now let me hear you scream

[Chorus 1: 2Pac & Storm]
This is for my niggas
Only for my niggas, for my niggas
Let me see you throw your hands up
This is for my sistas
Only for my sistas, for my sistas
Let me see you throw your hands up
This is for my niggas
Only for my niggas, for my niggas
Let me see you throw your hands up
This is for my sistas
Only for my sistas, for my sistas
Let me see you throw your hands up (Fuck that)
This is for my niggas
Only for my niggas, for my niggas
Let me see you throw your hands up
Nah!
This is for my sistas
Only for my sistas, for my sistas
Let me see you throw your hands up (Oh yeah! Would you like that? Check it)

[Chorus 2: 2Pac & Storm]
This is for my riders
Only for my riders, for the riders
Let me see you throw your hands up
This is for the riders
Only for the riders, for the riders
Let me see you throw your hands up (Hey [?] where Mack?)

[Chorus 3: 2Pac & Storm]
This is for the bitches
Only for the bitches, for the bitches
Let me see you throw your hands up
This is for them bustas
Only for them bustas, for them bustas
Let me see you throw your hands up (Hahaha, that's right)

This is for my niggas
Only for my sistas, for my riders
Let me see you throw your hands up

[Outro: 2Pac & Storm]

2Pac

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.
