[Dr. Dre]
This is dedicated to the niggas that was down from day one
Welcome to Death Row

[Chorus: Jewell]
People in the ghetto, don't you know it's Death Row... (Death Row)
People in the ghetto, don't you know it's Death Row... (Don't you know....)
People in the ghetto, don't you know it's Death Row... (Death Row)
People in the ghetto, don't you know it's Death Row...

[Verse 1: Danny Boy]
Now my people in the ghetto
I think it's about time, a new breed has arrived
So please get your groove on
And to all that's against us, we really ain't offensive
You ought to be sanctified
If you know what I know about the people stranded on Death Row
You might wanna ride

[Chorus: Jewell]
People in the ghetto, don't you know it's Death Row... (Rock on)
People in the ghetto, don't you know it's Death Row... (Brothers and sisters...)
People in the ghetto, don't you know it's Death Row... (People on Death Row) (Rock on)
People in the ghetto, don't you know it's Death Row... (Uhhh hooooee)

[Verse 2: 2Pac]
Don't never underestimate the power of brothers
Convicted fellons and gangbangers from outta the gutter
We saw our chance, so we crept slow
Me and Danny Boy stranded on Death Row, for real though
Money makin', allergic to playa haters and cowards fakin'
Tricks come and get their pictures taken (Death Row)
There ain't nuthin' left to say but brother pray
Try to keep ya head up and look for better days
On Death Row..

[Chorus: Jewell]
People in the ghetto, don't you know it's Death Row... (That's right... y'all know what time it is..hehehe)
People in the ghetto, don't you know it's Death Row... (yeah, yeah... this one's for the og's, all the hardheads, the knuckleheads,)
People in the ghetto, don't you know it's Death Row... (the squares, the g's, the gangsters, the thugs)
People in the ghetto, don't you know it's Death Row... (the ones that wants to go to church, the ones that wants to go to jail, you know what time it is)

[Interlude: 2Pac]
Just throw ya hands up and feel good with this one right here
This' your boy 'Pac, spittin' out for my homeboy Danny Boy
Let y'all know what time is it here on Death Row
We stranded but we lovin', can't understand it

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.
