[Intro: 2Pac]
You know what time it is
You see any motherfucker with an "Outlaw" on his neck
Give him respect or get chin-checked

Music Stops

That's right nigga, set that shit
'Til they chin checking, we wrecking

Chin Check by N.W.A's instrumental plays

[Hook x2: DJ Chop Up as 2Pac]
I'mma thug where I wanna thug
I'mma fuck who I wanna fuck
I'mma ride where I wanna ride
'Cause I'm a thug for life so I'm a thug 'til I die
I'mma thug where I wanna thug
I'mma fuck who I wanna fuck
I'mma ride where I wanna ride
'Cause I'm a thug for life so I'm a motherfucking thug 'til I die

[Verse 1: 2Pac]
(Chin checkin'!)
Now take a look inside my mind
That pen time made me wise but still I rise
Cause my "Ambitionz Az A Ridah" like land mines
Lyrics turn niggas into smithereens
Music so lethal, turn coliseums to murder scenes
I'm Makaveli the Don is what they tell me, I'm armed
I'm droppin' niggas like bomb
Get in that ass like a thong
Picture a felon in ya presence
Takin' bustas back to the essence
Tellin' my people peep my lethal message
Visions of me gettin' money got me in mash mode
Murderous motives for niggas stoppin' my cash flow
You can't fight it nigga, let go
Witness the sound, made ya bitch ass bow down to Death Row
Mama, these niggas got me fightin' these 3 Strikes
Showin' up in court fuck what you thought it's three nights
I put the game down first put my niggas up on it
Now we Amerikaz Most Wanted
Motherfucking chin checking!

[Hook x2: DJ Chop Up as 2Pac]
I'mma thug where I wanna thug
I'mma fuck who I wanna fuck
I'mma ride where I wanna ride
'Cause I'm a thug for life so I'm a thug 'til I die
I'mma thug where I wanna thug
I'mma fuck who I wanna fuck
I'mma ride where I wanna ride
'Cause I'm a thug for life so I'm a motherfucking thug 'til I die

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.
