2pac - Violent lyrics
They claim that I'm violent, just 'cause I refuse to be silent These hypocrites are havin' fits, 'cause I'm not buyin' it Defyin' it, envious because I will rebel against any oppressor, and this is known as self defense I show no mercy, they claim that I'm the lunatic But when the sh** gets thick, I'm the one you go and get Don't look confused, the truth is so plain to see Cause I'm the n***a that you sell-outs are ashamed to be In every Jeep and every car, brothers stomp this I'm never ignorant, getting goals accomplished The underground railroad on an up rise This time the truth's gettin' told, heard enough lies I told 'em fight back, attack on society If this is violence, then violent's what I gotta be If you investigate you'll find out where it's comin' from Look through our history, America's the violent one Unlock my brain, break the chains of your misery This time the payback for evil sh** you did to me They call me militant, racist 'cause I will resist You wanna censor somethin', motherf**er censor this! My words are weapons, and I'm steppin' to the silent Wakin' up the ma**es, but you, claim that I'm violent (They claimin' that I'm violent) (Just because we play what the people want) (Violent) (Just because we play what the people want) (Violent) (Just because we play what the people want) (Violent) The cops can't stand me, but they can't touch me Call me a dope man, 'cause I rock dope beats Jacked by the police, didn't have my ID I said, "Excuse me, why you tryin' to rob me?" He had tha nerve to, say that I had a curfew (Do you know what time it is? Get out the f**ing car, or I'll hurt you!) "Get out the car or I'll hurt you" So here I go, I better make my mind up Pick my nine up, or hit the line-up I chose B, stepped into the streets The first cop grabbed me, the other ripped my seat They grabbed my homie and they threw him to the concrete (Ay man Aye yo ay man just c'mon ?) ("What you doin man?") They tried to frame me They tried to say I had some dope in the back seat But I'm a rap fiend, not a crack fiend My homie panicked ("I'm out") he tried to run (Freeze n***a!) I heard a bullet fire from the cop's gun My homie dropped so, I hit the cop I kept swingin', yo, I couldn't stop Before I knew it, I was beatin' the cop senseless The other cop dropped his gun, he was defenseless (? Argh, f** you! Ungh!) Now I'm against this cop who was racist Given him a taste, of tradin places And all this, 'cause the peckerwood was tryin' this frame up, but I came up Now they claimin that I'm violent (They claimin' that I'm violent) (Just because we play what the people want) (Violent) (Just because we play what the people want) (Violent) (Just because we play what the people want) (Violent) As I was beatin' on a cop, I heard a gun click (uh-oh) Then the gun shot, but I wasn't hit I turned around it was my homie with the gun in hand He shot the cop (damn!) now he's a dead man I said, come on, it's time for us to get away (Let's go, we gotta get the f** outta here) They called for backup, and they'll be on their way Jumped in the car, and tried to get away quick The car wouldn't start (damn!) we in deep sh** So we jumped out (C'mon let's take the cop's car) We drove a little ways thinkin' that we got far But I looked up, and all I saw was blue lights If I die tonight, I'm dying in a gunfight I grabbed the AK, my homie took the 12 gauge Load 'em up quick, it's time for us to spray We'll shoot 'em up with they own f**in' weapons And when we through sprayin' (audi) then we steppin' This is a lesson, to the rednecks and crooked cops You f** with real n***as, get ya f**in' a** dropped So here we go, the police against us Dark as dusk, waitin' for the guns to bust (What's next man?) What's next, I don't know and I don't care One things fo' sho', tomorrow I won't be here But if I go, I'm takin' all these punks with me Pa** me a clip G, now come and get me You wanna sweat me, never get me to be silent Givin' them a reason, (a reason) to claim that I'm violent (Just because we play what the people want) (Violent) (Just because we play what the people want) (Violent)
