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.
