Lyrics
[Intro]
In today's music news
The ever controversial Tupac Shakur has just released another album
Under the alias Makaveli
Music insiders are running wild
Trying to rearrange other artist street dates
In fear of a wipe-out in retail inter-chart movement
Although no one knows the exact cause of the new album
Resources tell me a number of less fortunate rappers
Have joined together in conspiracy to assassinate the character
Of not only Mr. Shakur, but of Death Row Records as well
Nas, the alleged ring leader of it, is furious of Tupac's
Excuse me, Makaveli's verbal assault
On Mobb Sleep, Notorious P.I.G. and several other New York rappers
Jay-Z from Hawaiian Soapy fame, Big Little whatever
And several other corny-sounding motherfuckers
Are understandably shaken up by this release
The question everybody wants to know is
Why'd they get this **** started?
Tupac, rather Makaveli, was not available for comment
But released this statement
[Intro]
It's not about East or West
It's about **** and bitches
Power and money, riders and punks
Which side are you on?
These **** is still fuckin' talkin'?
You **** still breathin'?
Fucking roaches
Aight, this the Raid on cockroaches
It's too late for you you punk mothafuckers
This is it
Killuminati Style
Makaveli the Don
Solo shit, fam (Bring it)
[Verse 1]
Allow me to introduce first, Makaveli the Don
Hysterical, spiritual lyrics like The Holy Qur'an
**** get shook like 5-0
My forty-five gun's next to me when we ride for survival
Money making plans, pistol closing hands
Swollen pockets, let me introduce the topic, then we drop it
Expose snakes 'cause they breath freely
See me ride, located worldwide like the art of graffiti
I think I'm tougher than Nitti, my attitude shitty
Born on the dope fiend's titty
In every city, you'll find me, look for trouble right behind me
My Outlaw **** down to die for me, nah'mean?
I hit the scene, **** ducking for my guillotine stare
I'm right there, my every word, a fuckin' nightmare
Getting high, let me see the sun rise and fall
This for my dogs, down to die for y'all
Extreme venom, no mercy when we all up in 'em
Cut 'em down, to hell is where we send them
My whole team trained to explode, ride or die
Murder mothafuckas lyrically and I'm not gon' cry
Me, a born leader, never leave the block without my heater
Two big pits, I call 'em "Mobb bitch-**** eaters"
And not a whimper until I'm gone, thug life
Running through my veins, so I'm strong
Bye, bye, bye, let's get high and ride
Oh, how we do these ****, but I'm not gon' cry
I'm a bad-boy killer, Jay-Z die, too
Looking out for Mobb Deep, ****, when I find you
Weak mothafuckas don't deserve to breathe
How many **** down to die for me? Yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
West Coast rider comin' right behind ya
Should've never fucked with me
I want money, hoes, sex and weed
I won't rest till my road dog free
Bomb first, we bomb first when we ride
Please reconsider 'fore you die
We ain't even come to hurt nobody tonight
But it's my life or your life, and I'ma bomb first
[Chorus]
We bomb first when we ride
Please reconsider 'fore you die
We ain't even come to fight tonight
But it's my life or your life, and I'ma bomb first
[Verse 3]
For so many days and just so many ways, we've been duckin' strays
They delivers, but still, we some Bad Boy killers
Got nothin' to lose, I gots nowhere to go
I only got one home, see me stranded on Death Row
With Outlawz, it's Makaveli be the general
And I be a soldier on a mission sent to do what you'll never do
And that's ride for the cause, yes, I'll die for the cause
You best believe if I leave this bitch, yo, I'm dyin' with yours
Kamikaze, sicker than a mothafucking Nazi
Got a little question for that **** that made "Paparazzi"
If you ain't in this rap game for the muthafucking cash, man
Then what is yo motherfuckin' purpose? Narcing service
E.D.I. Mean, born worthless
That's until the day I decided to bomb first, bitch
[Bridge]
Come on, bring it, let's get with it
Come on, bring it
[Verse 4]
Your style wack as ever, like you was rockin' patent leather
'Caused a massive terror, y'all **** lack, you ain't thorough
Half rapper, half drug kingpin, you're tellin' fairy tales, dunn
King of New York like you the mothafuckin' one
But I'm from Jers', we don't play that shit
From the 'Claire down to North Bricks, all my **** flippin' chips
Gettin' rich, even though it's hard
Tryna creep through these halls and brawls without scars by a revolve'
With no warning signs 'cause yo, my man took five
Now, I'm the young one with the nine ready to put in my time
[Verse 5]
Shoot first, look at their head burst, bleedin'
Don't wanna hear no shit this evening, believe me
[Chorus]
We bomb first when we ride
Please reconsider 'fore you die
G's and Thug **** on the rise
Plan, plot, strategize, but bomb first
We bomb first when we ride
Please, reconsider 'fore you die
G's and Thug **** on the rise
Plan, plot, strategize and bomb first
