[Verse 1: 2Pac]
They'll never take me alive, I'm gettin' high with my four-five
co*ked on these s**as, time to die
Even as a youngster causin' ruckus on the back of the bus
I was a fool all through high school kickin' up dust
But now I'm labelled as a troublemaker who can you blame?
Smokin' weed helped me take away the pain
So I'm hopeless rollin' down the freeway swervin', don't worry
I'm about to crash up on the curb cause my vision's blurry
Maybe if they tried to understand me, what should I do?
I had to feed my f**in' family, what else could I do
But be a thug - out slangin' with the homies
f** hangin' with them phonies in the club
Got my mind on danger
Never been a stranger to homicide
My city's full of gang bangers and drive bys
Why do we die at an early age
He was so young
But still a victim of the 12 gauge
My memories of a corpse
Mind full of sick thoughts
And I ain't goin back to court
So f** what you thought, I'm drinkin' Hennessey
Runnin' from my enemies will I live to be 23
There's so much pain
[Hook]
Gonna pay back n***as who did me wrong in the past
Some motherf**er's gotta die!
I'm an evil motherf**er ready to tear sh** up
I'm gonna put these things on you, and never let up
Gonna pay back n***as who did me wrong in the past
Some motherf**er's gotta die!
I'm an evil motherf**er ready to tear sh** up
I'm gonna put these things on you, and never let up
[Verse 2: Eazy-E]
See, my momma...she was wrong when I was born
That a n***a like E should'a never been born
Gonna pay back n***as who did me wrong in the past
My days ain't long
I'm comin' strong and fast
Lock up 8 n**s..k** up 10 pigs
Innocent and f**ers are also dyin, too
Now what else can I do?
f**, f**, f** and plant my seeds
Leavin' kids in this world like me
The lunatic psycho mutherf**a Eazy-E
[Chorus]
24 hours to live
But I don't wanna die
24 hours to live
Oh why, oh why?
Must die
[Hook]
Sky diving, scuba diving
To Evel Knievel stunt car drivin'
Gonna pay back n***as who did me wrong in the past
Some motherf**er's gotta die!
I'm an evil motherf**er ready to tear sh** up
I'm gonna put these things on you, and never let up
Gonna pay back n***as who did me wrong in the past
Some motherf**er's gotta die!
I'm an evil motherf**er ready to tear sh** up
I'm gonna put these things on you, and never let up
[Verse 3: 2Pac]
They got me mobbin' like I'm
Loc'ed and ready to get my slug on
And I load my clip and slip my motherf**in' gloves on
I ain't scared to blast on these s**as if they test me
Trust, I got my Glock co*ked playa if they press me
Bust on motherf**ers with a - paaa**ion
Better duck cause I ain't lookin when I'm - b-b-blaaastin
I'm a nut an' drinkin Hennessey and gettin' high
On the lookout for my enemies, don't wanna die
Tell me why cause this stress is gettin' major
A buck-fifty across the face with my razor
What can I do but be a thug until I'm dead and gone
Keep my brain on the game and stay head strong
[Verse 4: Eazy-E]
I'm starting to sweat
Cause I don't really wanna die yet
Dizzy spells, flashbacks in my head
n***as ain't want me to bein' happy when I'm dead
But I ain't goin' out unless 30 n***as die
I'm dying anyway so I'm thinking suicide
[Hook]
Gonna pay back n***as who did me wrong in the past
Some motherf**er's gotta die!
I'm an evil motherf**er ready to tear sh** up
I'm gonna put these things on you, and never let up
Gonna pay back n***as who did me wrong in the past
Some motherf**er's gotta die!
I'm an evil motherf**er ready to tear sh** up
I'm gonna put these things on you, and never let up
