[Intro]
Yo 'Pac
That's right, hehehe
Yo, I heard you got beat up by the police
Got a big fat lawsuit and everything
Yeah..
n***as just wanna know
If you still gon' be on some crooked-a** n***a sh**
[Verse 1]
Please tell me what's a n***a to do, and it's true
Ain't nuttin new, so I do, what I can to get through
Now first they had me trapped and now I'm pissed
A loaded AK-47 lay under my head so I don't trip
One motherf**er from the Underground
And Big Stretch buckin' n***as if they f** around
Yo why I got beef with police?
Ain't that a b**h, the motherf**ers got a beef with me
They make it hard for me to sleep
I wake up at the slightest peep, and my sheets are 3 feet deep
I guess it's hard for you to see
But now I'm pointin' the finger at police
Instead of them motherf**ers blamin' me
I got the right to bear a pistol
And when the punk motherf**ers get to trippin' I got sh** too
And maybe then you'll see the truth
But until then, I gotta do what I do
And stay a crooked n***a too
[Hook]
It's all up to you, but until then I gotta do what I do
And stay a crooked n***a too
And maybe then you'll see the truth; OOOH!
But until then I gotta do what I do and stay a crooked n***a too
It's all up to you, but until then I gotta do what I do
And stay a crooked n***a too
And maybe then you'll see the truth; OOOH!
You can't f** with the crew, of crooked n***a too
[Verse 2]
Y'know you really can't say that ya blame n***as
f** being tame, set a flame, time to aim triggers
2Pac'll spark a revolution, f** the Constitution
I want my bucks for restitution
This time you got a bigger problem
Time to face the n***as from South Central, Oakland, Brooklyn and Harlem
And we ain't shootin' at each other (f** no!)
That's my motherf**in' brother, so Dave Duke, run for cover
And all the b**hes from the Klan
Come feel the wrath of a black man that doesn't smoke crack and
I don't drink St. Ides (f** that!)
Genuine Draft, ganja ganja, and my f**in' TEC-9
They know they scared to see us sober
(ahhhhhhh) Cobra, and n***as'll take the world over
It's all up to you (up to you)
Blame the Korean.. (f** that) or be a crooked n***a too
[Hook]
It's all up to you, but until then I gotta do what I do
And stay a crooked n***a too
And maybe then you'll see the truth; OOOH!
But until then I gotta do what I do and stay a crooked n***a too
It's all up to you, but until then I gotta do what I do
And stay a crooked n***a too
And maybe then you'll see the truth; OOOH!
You can't f** with the crew, of crooked n***a too
[Verse 3]
Why me? Play like Jasmine Guy and try me
I'll be damned if I die, come look at the rage in my eyes G
They got my homies in a jail cell
And it's the Rebel and the Devil, and one of us is goin' to Hell
I got the whole place covered, with loc'd out brothers
And nuttin but love for each other
So motherf**er make a motion
I give a f**, slice you up, and throw your a** in the ocean
Temperatures drop; see it's cool to shoot a n***a
But they hate it when we pop the cops
That's when they gettin' petrol
You better watch your step or you'll be left on d**h row
But I learn to look ahead of me
Stay strapped watch your back keep your eyes on the enemy
We blowin' up precincts and OOOH
You can't f** with the crew, of crooked n***a too
[Hook]
It's all up to you, but until then I gotta do what I do
And stay a crooked n***a too
And maybe then you'll see the truth, OOOH!
But until then I gotta do what I do and stay a crooked n***a too
It's all up to you, but until then I gotta do what I do
And stay a crooked n***a too
And maybe then you'll see the truth, OOOH!
You can't f** with the crew, of crooked n***a too
