2pac - Against All Odds lyrics
21 gun salute One love One thug One nation 21 gun salute Dressed in fatigues Black jeans and boots Disappear in the crowd All you seen was troops This little n***a named nas Think he live like me Talk about how he left the hospital Took five like me You living fanatasies n***a I reject your deposit We shook dre punk a** Now we out of tha closet Mobb deep wonder why a n***a blowed em out Next time grown folks talkin' n***a close your mouth Peep me I take this war sh** deeply done seen too many real n***az fall To let you b**h n***as beat me Puffy, lets be honest You a punk Or you would see me with gloves Remember that sh** you said in vibe About me being a thug You can tell tha n***az you roll with Whatever you want But, you and i know Whats going on Pay back I knew you b**h n***as from way back Witness me strapped with macs Knew i wouldn't play that All you old rappers trying to advance Its all over now Take it like a man n***as looking like Larry holms flabby and sick (lookat de la soul!) Trying to playa hate on my sh** Big, eat a fat dick Let it be known this is how you made me Love it how i got you n***as crazy' Chorus Only my true mutha-f**as know This be the realist sh** i ever wrote Against all odds Up In the studio Getting blowed to tha truest sh** i ever spoke 21 gun salute I heard he was light skined, stocky With a haitian accent (say his name, now) Jewelry, fast cars and he's known for flashing (whats his name) Listen while i take you back (n***a, say his name!) And lace this rap A real live tale About a snitch named hatian jack Knew he was working for the feds (i knew it!) Same crime different trail n***as picture what he said (snitch) And did i mention Promised a payback Till he hits me In due time I knew you b**h n***as was listening The world is mine Set me up Wet me up n***as stuck me up (i'm back, i'm baaack) Heard the guns bust But you tricks never shut me up Touch one of mine On everything i own I'll destroy everything you touch Play the game n***a All out warfare Eye for an eye Last words to a b**h n***az Why you lie? Now you gotta watch your back n***a Watch your front Here we come gunshots to deck Now you stuck f** the rap game n***a n***a this m.o.b So believe me We enemies I go against all odds (trick made n***as, ain't no peers) Puffy getting robbed like a b**h. To hide that fact, He did some sh** he shouldn't of did. (you know what) So he ride for that And that n***a that was with me, Resting dead, Switching sides, Guess his new friends wanted him dead. Probably be murdered for this sh** that i said I bring the real n***a. Be a legend breathing or dead. Lord, listen to me. God don't like ugly, It was written. Yo nas, your whole damn style is bitten. (you sound like rakim, man) You heard my melody, Read about my life in the papers. All my run ins with authorities(trick!), Felonious capers (punk!) Now you want to live my life. So what's a ha**a, nas. n***as that don't rhyme right, Seen too many movies. Load him up against the wall, Close his eyes. Since you lie, you die. goodbye! Let the real live n***as hear the truth from me. What would you do if you was me. Against all odds 21 gun salute One love to my true thug n***as (outlaw, outlaw!) 21 gun salute to my n***as that died in the line of duty Represent to the fullest, Being souljas with military minds that played the rules of the game. 21 gun salute I salute you my n***as. Stay strong - i ride for you, i rhyme for you, I roll for you, it's all for you. To all you b**h made n***as - i'm comin for you Against all odds. I don't care who the f** you is, n***a. You touch me, i'm at you. I know you motha f**as didn't think i forgot. Hell nah i ain't forgot n***a, i just remembered what you told me. Said don't go to war unless my money right. Aight, i got my money right, now i want war.
