[Intro]
Damn
Hey, close yo' muthafuckin' mouth...
Shut yo' muthafuckin' mouth!
This is how we going to to this in '94
Here we go
Time to size these niggas up and cut they ass short, yow know?
Mothafuckers got me going for it
Fuck these niggas
DING!

[Verse 1]
Momma ain't raised no punks
Playa-hate niggas, pay attention, this is what they want
Since you all up in a nigga mix
Then maybe you can hang with the street game, don't be a bitch
Keep your head up, baby, and I meant that
Now you trying to toss me in the mix, and bitch, I resent that
These hoes ain't shit
Plottin' on a nigga 'cause he rich
Then wonder why they call you bitch
And if you offended, you's a lyin' ass trick and that was intended
I'm coming back with a passion
And screaming 'Thug Life,' bitch
When my niggas get the blastin'
I'm puttin' hoes on tape, and not 'cause I wanna, but I gotta
'Cause tramps love to scream "rape!"
I'm rushing bitches to the hotel
And I'm blindfolding hoes I don't know well
Huh, guess it's hard on a nigga in '94
If you can find a ho, nigga, peep game

[Verse 2]
Tell me what you need when you see me
Ducking these tramps 'cause they sleazy
Bitch, take it easy
I told you last year it's a test
I know you can't see my tattoos through my bullerproof vest
So you roll, baby, hold up
And why you touchin' on a nigga
If I touched you back, you'd probably go nuts
You see, you hoes got it all wrong
Shouldn't listen to them niggas that be bangin' on them slow songs
That's where you go wrong
I ain't never been a trick
Fake bitch, keep yo' clothes on
With you're mouth closed, and you're leg shut
If I was broke, you'd probably wouldn't said much
But I'm paid, so you all in a nigga face
You wanna move in, fuck, get a bigger place
Please, I ain't goin' out like these, trick ass niggas that be fuckin' off G's
You suckas need your game plan changed
And peep game...

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.
