[Verse 1]
Play Terror's on the cut, listen up can't you hear him?
Don't sit there looking stupid, come on, help me cheer him
He might look like he's innocent, but don't get fooled
Soon as he touches turntables, he gets cold then cruel
Terror's tearing it up, I don't know how he does it
Every record that we give him, he plays it and he cut it
There's holes in all his clothes, that boy is a mess
He won't get up the turntables, 'til he show his best
So would you give us applause, clap your hands in his stance
And maybe then me and my crew we give some help for this man

[Chorus]
Uh-oh
Terror's on the tables
Uh-oh
Terror's on the tables

[Verse 2]
He's a cuttin' maniac, the boy won't stop
Come on Terror take a break, or maybe them he can wild
Last time we let him cut, he cut for three days straight
And at the rate he's goin' at, [?] how long he'll take
Even when we eatin' dinner, he cuts with his plate
He brought his table and his records to his first date
I think the boy's insane, 'cause something has to be wrong
'Cause you can't get up on the tables and cut that long
He does it, he just stopped to eat, intravenously fed
Good to see he take his turntables and his records to bed
Oh, I don't know what to do, talking 'bout crew—

[Chorus]
Uh-oh
Terror's on the tables

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.
