2Pac, Outlawz - Life of an Outlaw lyrics

In the life we live as thugs
Everybody fuckin' with us so can't you see
It's hard to be a man
Ridin' with my guns in hand

Why explain the game?
Niggas ain't listenin', stuck in positions if
Victims can't stand the heat
Then stay the fuck out the kitchen
Half these busters switchin', lookin'
At me mean, itchin'
Givin' suckers plenty space
Have these bitch niggas snitchin'
Where are we now, guns found daily
The Feds trail me in hoax that
They could finally nail me for sellin' dope
They backwards make the track burst
Whenever I rap, attack
Words been known to explode on contact
Extreme at times
Blinded by my passion and fury


Look at me laugh at my
Competition's flashin' my jewelry
You'd stay silent if you niggas knew me
Truly effective
The shit you heard ain't do me
Justice, got a death wish, bitch
Run, but face being traced
By the infrared beam
It seems niggas ain't recognize my team
Ain't nobody holdin' you back
Explode the track to confetti
Unload it, 'cause niggas ain't ready
The life of an outlaw

In the life we live as thugs
Everybody fuckin' with us so can't you see
It's hard to be a man
Ridin' with my guns in hand

Code 3: attack formation
Pull out your pistols
Keep an eye out for the devils
'cause they itchin' to get you
Merciless madman
Screamin' kamikaze in tongue
Automatic gunfire, makin' all my enemies run
Who should I call when I'm shot and bleedin'?
Indeed a possibility that's part
Of chasin' cream dope got me hatin' fiends
Scheme with my team, just a chosen few
My foes victim of explosives
Come closer exhale the fumes
We got memories, fadin' fast
A slave for cash accelerate, mash, blast
Then dash
Don't look now! How you like it, raw?
Niggas ain't ready for the
Wrath of the Outlawz
Never surrender, death before dishonor
Stay free i'm thugged out
Fuck the world 'cause this is
How they made me
Scarred but still breathin' believe in me
And you could see the victory
A warrior in jewels, will you picture me?
Life of an outlaw

In the life we live as thugs (No doubt)
Everybody fuckin' with us
(Yes) , so can't you see (Life of an outlaw)
It's hard to be a man
(Soldiers in position, attack formation)
Ridin' with my guns in hand
(No retreat, no surrender)

City under siege
It's like I can't even breathe
I'm from the state of car
Thieves GED from the streets
Plenty beef I play for keeps
Arrange the whole crime scene
Mobb peep! They sneak up from
Behind tryin' to creep
No halfs with no straps, jack
It's on to bounce back
An ounce of wrath so bad
It snatched my style on death
Tell the gripper I was sent to get ya
Snip with clippers get the picture
I wrote my life down as a scripture

And still I'm lost in the land of
The lonely where ain't nobody holy
A matter of a fact
We unholy Everybody livin' soley
For themselves, too high strung to lend help
To somebody who be needin' it
You know we lost hope and he needin' it
But the evil it's forever
But I'm rappin' low down
Scandalous like a tramp is
All for the street fame on how to be managed
To plan shit 6 months in
Advanced to what we plotted
Approached the goal on swole and now I got it

Uh, I crack my window
Knowin' they'd love to catch Kastro sleepin'
Attach a strap under my pillow
Hand to hand like we freakin'
Creepin' deep into the mornin'
Peepin' out the weak while they yawnin'
And let my clout speak for it'self
No doubt, outlaw
Outta my mind outta time you're all blind
Some kind of life of mine if K-Dog don't mind
Findin' it funny, matter of fact
'cause it is perhaps
Finally I'll adapt to it
Over the years as an outlaw

Ayy Napoleon what's up, nigga?
Would you die for me, nigga? Hell yeah
Would you kill for me, nigga?
On my grandmother, nigga ayy, yo
What's up
Let's ride on them stupid bitches right now
Watch out

Well, now they all say
That vultures and parasites
Snakes are all alike, thug life break night
Drink 'til we fist fight, life or death
But you can't win with a vest
Won't be no breathin' for the reason
Punk bitch on your breath
I see day is dark, and I admit it's dark
So chase on the ave, hide your stash
Beware from them marks ayy yo, Makaveli
Give me them bullets that was
Left up in your belly
And let me bust back to them niggas
'til they all cold and sweaty

In the life we live as thugs
Everybody fuckin' with us so can't you see
It's hard to be a man
Ridin' with my guns in hand
In the life we live as thugs
Everybody fuckin' with us so can't you see
It's hard to be a man
Ridin' with my guns in hand
In the life we live as thugs
Everybody fuckin' with us so can't you see
It's hard to be a man
Ridin' with my guns in hand
In the life we live as thugs
Everybody fuckin' with us so can't you see
It's hard to be a man
Ridin' with my guns in hand
