[Intro]
Yes lord, yes lord
Death Row said so
All hail, all hail
Outlawz
Let's get ready to rumble
Let's get ready to rumble
HAHAHAHA
Yeah!
Throw ya hands up!
Throw ya hands up!
Throw ya hands up!
In this corner
The ghetto gladiator
Iron Mike Tyson
Never been defeated
Can't keep a good man down!
And in this corner riding with him
Ha Ha

[Verse 1]
All they see is black venom, then my silhouette
Just watch the fear reappear in they eyes when I hit the set
Oh no, 2Pac wit' team Tyson, Seldon was seldom seen
Iron Mike cut his head like a guillotine
Time for some action, you're makin' me high, like Toni Braxton
Bustas switching like Dennis Rodman, we still mashin'
I put my hand up to God, life is hard, filled with stress
Throwing blows in this square, circle to see who's best
Mike don't hurt 'em! What they scream, wait! What they mean?
Tyson put in work, his head touched the whole Colosseum
Better act up when I see him, we loud in the front row
Hype up the crowd if you don't like it, what you come for?
All hail, to fortified to fail
The Bed-Stuy ass kicker, split the water like a sharks tail
Still strugglin', may god help me bubble
Hit the ring, do my thing, all opposed feel trouble
Get it on!

[Hook]
Let's get ready to rumble
Haha, let's do this (yea)
Let's get ready to rumble (you know)
Let's get it on
Throw ya hands up, throw ya hands up
Where they at? Where they at?

[Verse 2]
Round two
Right, left then left, right I seen him stutter WHAT?
He didn't duck and got stuck wit' yo' uppercut!
Now hear the crowd screaming, It's like they fiendin'
Oh, don't you love how that black man swing?
We keep it real, tell Holyfield, he next in line
So get his heart problem checked 'fore he steps to mine
And Seldon, I hardly know ya, don't bother me to show ya
Let ya head get gassed by that fast promoter
Be real forever, so feel my leather in combinations
Connecting like dot to dot in steady formations
Swift and deadly, 'cause this be deathly
I'm a soldier, it's too late now, I tried to told ya
Get it on!

[Ad-libs + Hook]

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.
