[Intro: 2Pac]
Would you ride for me?
Would you ride for me?
You lyin' if you want to ride for me
I mean all out, not just to fuck
I mean all that shit

[Verse 1: 2Pac]
Look, I need more than just romantic feelings
When shit is frantic need a bitch
That’s just as scandalous when fuckin' this killer
To be appealin', have a bachelor in cold feelings
Mind for numbers same to wonder with this drug dealin'
Thug feelings make me a villain to the PH imbalance civilians
Don't let them hurt feelings turn this lesson into a killin'
Game spillin', my prophecy fulfillin'
To be involved with the killin' must be immune to squealin'
Listen, lady, what does it take to get you hot and crazy
Pass you a loaded .38 and bust on fools who play me
This is how I plan a night
First, we ride on the bustas then we dine
Eatin' dinner by candlelight
Be alert and put in works with a thugs passion
I'm a king, and you the queen up in thugs mansion
Me, I'm a never be a busta, I ride for keeps
I know you shy but please reply, would you ride for me?

[Hook: 2Pac]
Tell me baby would you ride for me?
Bust on them mother fuckers when they lie to me?
Now don't you ever tell a lie, just confide in me
Would you die for me?, Tell me baby would you ride for me?
Tell me baby would you ride for me?
Would you bang on them niggas when they lie to me?
Don't you ever tell a lie, just confide in me
Would you die for me?, Tell me baby would you ride for me?

[Verse 2: Hussein Fatal]
Come on baby, won't you ride for me?
Do the time for me, just cock back the 9 and see
How many niggas put a gun in your hand
Tell you to take what you can, while you runnin' with your man
On my order, you shoot, straight countin' the loot
You disguised in my boots, slip, and slide in the Coupe
Unorthodox trippin', catch him on missions
Styles twisted daily, weak MC's trail me
Show me how tellin' me, smoke me instead of jailin' me
You know it ain't no Fatal dog and "J" without felony
At the telly, they yell at me
Play me I give you one try
And I'll let you live long enough to let you see your son die
This evilness and wizardry Thug Life specifically it can be
Found as deadly as them bullets that keep missin' me
So what I'm 'posed to do
Just to open up your eyes and see (That's right)
You got it good all you have to do is ride for me

[Hook: 2Pac]
So tell me baby would you ride for me?
Would you bomb on niggas when they lie to me?
Now don't you ever tell a lie, just confide in me
Would you die for me?, Tell me baby would you ride for me?
Tell me baby would you ride for me?
Would you bomb on niggas when they lie to me?
Now don't you ever tell a lie, just confide in me
Would you die for me?, Tell me baby would you ride for me?

[Verse 3: Kurupt]
It was a nice sunny day I was dippin' through the hood
Seen all my homies and it was all to the good
I'm Kurupt, the half-inch Villian cold chillin'
From the floor to the ceilin', and illegal livin' civilians
So much cash is in the bundles
Been there and done it everything you've done seen and ever wanted
I'm Kurupt, piece me up a piece of the pie
Many try but many die in attempts to ride
Who's the man with ten thousand plans got the grants
With my squad, we worldwide homicidal clan
So many stretch their arms out to touch my loot
But fuck 'em dog beware of the owner 'cause the owner'll shoot
Meet the dog in the worst way
And a nigga like me is tight on my worst day
I been boxin' the fuckin' mics since the first day
My eyes opened wide, and finally realized
Tell me baby would you ride for me?

[Hook: 2Pac]
So tell me baby would you ride for me?
Would you bomb on niggas when they lie to me?
Now don't you ever tell a lie, just confide in me
Would you die for me?, Tell me baby would you ride for me?
Tell me baby would you ride for me?
Would you bomb on niggas when they lie to me?
Now don't you ever tell a lie, just confide in me
Would you die for me?, Tell me baby would you ride for me?

[Verse 4: Scarlo]
Open up my eyes, can't get up I'm feelin' weak
One too many nickies, take a quickie hit them streets
Pass the coke to me no weed, I'm already high
Don't need no Indo, crack the window
Bump the deck and let me ride
Niggas always fuckin' with me, 'cause they don't know
Named me crazy when I was a baby, I'm not that ho
Heard I was a Brood Lord, struck a nerve
I'm swervin' off of Alizé, so eat a word
This one in '96 for cruisin' off [?]
Hard dick thriller, still bitch killer
Fuckin' kibbles and bits, niggas won't admit
Got this industry on lockdown, ego trippin' I got tits
I got my crazed bitches, and get my shouts out
Catch you with your pants down, blow your fuckin' brains out
Steelo kind of sick, you know I be that bitch
And fuck Judge Ido, 'cause he can eat a dick
It didn't have to be like this to see you made me trip
So pull a bullet out your ass fool, ego trip

[Hook: 2Pac]
So Tell me baby would you ride for me?
Would you bomb on niggas when they lie to me?
Now don't you ever tell a lie, just confide in me
Would you die for me?, Tell me baby would you ride for me?
Tell me baby would you ride for me?
Would you bomb on niggas when they lie to me?
Now don't you ever tell a lie, just confide in me
Would you die for me?, Tell me baby would you ride for me?

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.
