[2pac First verse] When I enter the first zone Worst known mic holder My Hummer roll up Evacuating strapped soldiers Inside strategy Manifestin' military styles Casually try da g When niggas battle me My prophesied prediction Switch and move positions Separated from his gun and bitch And watch 'em start snitchin' I keep spittin' still stupid niggas fail to listen I personify this thug livin' Hell or prison My ammunition varies My voice carries Watch me invite the whole world Me and the mob gettin' married It seems all the fine screams pierce the dark This is expected A trick bitch where is your heart You mark Watch niggas fall when I call they name We outlaws hold your head niggas all the same Except some who want more out of life than stress We still thuggin' 'til its none left
[Chorus Big Pun] \"Thug Nigga\" Keeping it blood my people is bugged Heat you with slugs hundred deep in the club \"Big Poppa\" ? Pun We're warriors from goriest and the most notorious slums \"Corleone\" Thugs in the heart we bug from the start Rugged and smart anyone who want it fuck it lets mob \"When the punisher ready\" Just rest Learnt from ts from god flesh
[Notorious b.i.g. verse two] Frank White the Desperado Used to rock the all-black Movado The all-black El Dorado All that and a bottle of Dom P Niggas can't harm me I keep the army Is Brooklyn in the house Without a doubt I'm the rapper with clout everybody yap about Check it out Guns, I bust em Problems with my wife Don't discuss em Coupes and Learjets I lust them Finger prints I dust them Recent address Stuck you for your stash in your pissy mattress Your Mom's an actress Didn't wanna show me the safe It's okay, she was old anyway I display, Hot 97 rhyme-ready Cocked Mac-11, line steady Like Tevin Campbell I'm Ready To do what I do Continuously to get money
[Chorus]
[Big L verse three] When I cruise through the ghetto I drive slow I'm quick to buck a duck and I don't give a fuck about 5-0 A hard core life I toast to ex flaw Therefore I live raw and went to war wit the law My only picture was a mug shot slugs were thugs got pot Get swellin hops from sellin tops to the drugs spot G's was clocked fat knots was in the socks And cops who tried to stop shop got knocked when I popped the Glock Shit was ran right by me and my man Mike Cause I choose to use a gun don't mean that I can't fight Cause we put the guns down and go one round Wit the hands but man I ain't the one, you'll get done clown I can inverse my style, cause I'm versatile Quick to burst a child I'm livin worse than foul I pack two techs in case ya crew flex I wet up the set in a second yell whos next To feel the wrath of a psychopath shoots it up like Shaft Turn ya staff into a blood bath to laugh You'll get smashed like a deli snack, you softer than jelly jack I attack in black wit a gat and a skully hat
[Chorus]
