2Pac – Me Against the World

It’s just me against the world
Nothin’ to lose
It’s just me against the world, baby
I got nothin’ to lose
It’s just me against the world
Stuck in the game
Me against the world, baby

Can you picture my prophecy?
Stress in the city, the cops is hot for me
The projects is full of bullets
Though bodies is droppin’ there ain’t no stoppin’ me
Constantly movin’ while makin’ millions
Witnessin’ killings, leavin’ dead bodies in abandoned buildings
Can’t reach the children, ’cause they’re illin’
Addicted to killin’ and the appeal from the cap peelin’
Without feelin’, but will they last or be blasted?
Hard-headed bastard, maybe he’ll listen in his casket
The aftermath: more bodies bein’ buried
I’m losin’ my homies in a hurry, they’re relocatin’ to the cemetery
Got me worried, stressin’, my vision’s blurry
The question is will I live, no one in the world loves me
I’m headed for danger, don’t trust strangers
Put one in the chamber whenever I’m feelin’ this anger
Don’t wanna make excuses
‘Cause this is how it is, what’s the use?
Unless we’re shootin’, no one notices the youth
It’s just me against the world, baby

Me against the world
It’s just me against the world
It’s just me against the world
Me against the world
‘Cause it’s just me against the world, baby (Hey)
Me against the world (Ooh yeah)
I got nothin’ to lose
It’s just me against the world, baby
I got nothin’ to lose

Could somebody help me? I’m out here all by myself, see
Ladies in stores, Baby Capone’s, livin’ wealthy
Pictures of my birth on this Earth is what I’m dreamin’
Seein’ Daddy’s semen, full of crooked demons
Already crazy and screamin’, I guess them nightmares as a child
Had me scared but left me prepared for a while
Is there another route for a crooked Outlaw?
Veteran, a villain, a young thug, who one day shall fall

Everyday there’s mo’ death, and plus I’m dough-less
I’m seein’ more reasons for me to proceed with thievin’
Scheme on the schemin’ and leave they peeps grievin’
‘Cause ain’t no bucks to stack up
My nuts is backed up, I’m about to act up
Go load the MAC up, now watch me klacka
Tried makin’ fat cuts, but yo, it ain’t workin’
And evil’s lurkin’, I can see him smirkin’ when I gets to pervin’
So what? Go put some work in and make my mail
Makin’ sales, riskin’ 25 with a L, but oh well

Me against the world
With nothin’ to lose (Ooh yeah)
It’s just me against the world
It’s just me against the world, baby
Me against the world
I got nothin’ to lose
It’s just me against the world
It’s just me against the world, baby
With nothin’ to lose
It’s just me against the world, baby
Me against the world
Me against the world
I got nothin’ to lose
It’s just me against the world, baby

With all this extra stressin’
The question I wonder is after death, after my last breath
When will I finally get to rest through this oppression?
They punish the people that’s askin’ questions
And those that possess steal from the ones without possessions
The message I stress: to make it stop, study your lessons
Don’t settle for less, even the genius asks his questions
Be grateful for blessings
Don’t ever change, keep your essence
The power is in the people and politics we address
Always do your best, don’t let this pressure make you panic
And when you get stranded
And things don’t go the way you planned it
Dreamin’ of riches, in a position of makin’ a difference
Politicians are hypocrites, they don’t wanna listen
If I’m insane, it’s the fame made a brother change
It wasn’t nothin’ like the game; it’s just me against the world

Me against the world
Nothin’ to lose
It’s just me against the world, baby
Me against the world
Got me stuck in the game (Ooh yeah)
It’s just me against the world
Nothin’ to lose
It’s just me against the world, baby
Me against the world

Hahaha, that’s right
I know it seem hard sometimes
But, uh, remember one thing
Through every dark night, there’s a bright day after that
So no matter how hard it get
Stick your chest out, keep your head up, and handle it
