[Verse 1: Big Daddy Kane]
Watch me, ain't no question
I'm sufferin' a bad case of lyrical congestion, not the one for testin'
Come mess with and end up with your chest split
No, not because of cardiac, but because how hard he act, ha
I'm recognized as the microphone destroyer
Competition minds up in the state of paranoia
I told him if you're scared, go get a dog
So by tomorrow, you'll pro'ly see 20 rappers walkin' with Rottweilers
Your gimmick is primitive, and impotent, you won't win wit' it, so limit it
Before I make your body start to hemorrhage
Just when you thought that you was burnin' me
You found yourself bleedin' internally, now all you heads is learnin', see
I stayin' there sincere, you commence prayer
Your heart begets fear, 'cause there ain't no wins here, huh
Never kid, 'cause even with leverage
I can rock your domepiece worse than the wop ever did
What?

[Pre-Verse: 2Pac]
Are you out your fuckin' mind?

[Verse 2: 2Pac]
Ask me to blast, no need to ask 'cause I'm mashin'
Peepin' the latest fashion
Copy-cats and plastics get me to flashin'
My adversaries shipped in caskets
Murdered them bastards, witness the past, got boombastic
Now that they freed me, no one can see me
I completely eradicated my competition, Father forgive me
Assemble the troops, prepare my loots for combustion
Rushin' them muthafuckas, the deadliest nigga bustin'
How can they touch me when they lost in thought?
On Death Row we lock shit down across the board
Now flash and watch me get in that ass like a bikini
Lyrical legendary so niggas'll never see me
Completely defeat me, can never happen, whether rappin' or scrappin'
Niggas get smashed on they muthafuckin' back
Hard to kill, and even harder to stop
Watch Kane and 'Pac drop the sho' shot! Tell 'em motherfuckers

[Pre-Verse: Big Daddy Kane]
Here's how we'll do it

[Verse 3: Big Daddy Kane & 2Pac]
Let me [?] the plan to put the cash in the hand
So that I can spend a grand of Benja-mins up in Japan or [Yens?] the Man
And therefore my Luchi, eatin' sushi
Checkin' out a subtitled movie featurin' Sho Kosugi
Tell me, Kane, when will niggas learn?
In this game, fuck with us, niggas gettin' burned
We takin' turns on you bitch-made nigg-ar-os
I hope it hurts, 'cause you're worse than these groupie hoes
Oh one more time baby
I'll be forever, the go-getter of the cheddar
Thinkin' ahead of my competitor, just too clever to sever
I got it together to represent with my true nigg
The first syllables of our name together is 2 Big
Think about that!

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.
