[Intro: 2Pac]
Makaveli the Don, break on 'em!
Ah put ya, ah put ya hands on ya, hands on ya heater
Hands on ya, hands on ya heater, hands on ya, hand…
[Verse 1: 2Pac]
Let it be prophesized; n***as'll die because your crew's goon
Around the way n***as get murdered by the full moon
Heard it in whispered tones
n***as is bold and they choose to roll
I k** 'em all, watch now, n***a, truth be told
Westside was the war cry, look how they scatter
n***as dyin' by my 30-yard, brains'll splatter
Wonder why these n***as cross me, I'm certified crazy
So sick the world made me
Now diggy-die, every time I ride is for reasons
Hard to k** a n***a cause I'm comin' back like Jesus
Bow down to my ill nation, runnin' from drug cases
Lookin' at my congregation so full of thug faces
Momma gave a n***a breath, a life of stress
I invest in a vest and makin' n***as watch they every step
Label me a threat and I ain't even got started with this sh** yet
Thug style, baby, hands on my pistol, listen
I'm a ridah, every n***a breathin' pay attention
'Bout to show you motherf**ers how it feel to drop a body
A simple glimpse of my lifestyle, k**uminati…
[Hook: (Kastro) & 2Pac]
(Yo, Makaveli, they can't stop you)
Hold it down!
(k**uminati and we got you, got you)
(Yo, Makaveli, they can't stop you)
Hold it down!
(k**uminati and we got you, got you)
(Yo, Makaveli, they can't stop you)
Hold it down!
(k**uminati and we got you, got you)
(Yo, Makaveli, they can't stop you)
Hold it down!
(k**uminati and we got you, got you)
[Verse 2: 2Pac]
After the fire comes the rain, after the pleasure there's pain
Even though we broke for the moment, we'll be ballin' again
'Til I make it, yo, my military be prepared for them bustaz
Similar to b**hes too scary, get too near me, we rushin'
Visions of over-packed prisons, millions of n***as thug livin'
Pressures and three strikes, I hope they don't test us
They pull the heat out, ammunition in crates
Psssh! Move without a sound as we slide down pistols in place
They got me fiendin' for currency, the money be callin'
It's like I'm - dreamin', seein' scenes of me ballin'
Participated in felonious behavior
co*k the co*ked 45, snatchin' n***as pagers
Labeled a mark soon as we start, it was hard to quit
We started out drinkin' 40's, moved to harder sh**
God damn, now I'm a grown man, I follow no man
n***a got my own plan, and it's called k**uminati
[Hook: (Kastro) & 2Pac]
(Yo, Makaveli, they can't stop you)
(k**uminati and we got you, got you)
k**uminati
(Yo, Makaveli, they can't stop you)
Hold it down!
(k**uminati and we got you, got you)
(Yo, Makaveli, they can't stop you)
Hold it down!
(k**uminati and we got you, got you)
(Yo, Makaveli, they can't stop you)
Hold it down!
(k**uminati and we got you, got you)
[Verse 3: E.D.I. Amin]
I spend most of my time bankin', n***as
Because they hate a n***a, comin' across fake n***as
But we made n***as, old school and I'm thinkin'
Y'all some b**h made n***as and you steadily sinkin'
O-U-T, L-A-W-Z, ain't nothing f**in' with that
We bustin' back, comin' back for the stacks
Laugh last, cash cash, all I want is the paper
Givin' them f**ers tool whips, I rule haters
Y'all can't fade us, we k**, steal and peal quickly
The boss n***as, definitely, put it down strictly
E.D.I. Amin, until the law come for me
k** 'em all for shorty, '99 k**uminati
[Verse 4: Kadafi]
They got me thinkin' strugglin' and hustling's my only fate
Toppin' graems on the kichen plate
Tryin' to keep that money straight
Times is rolling three up these streets sleep
But when I crack, hammer co*ked back, rapped in my sheets
My life's been crossed, crooked since a seed
It hurts, got a package from the devil, payin' my deeds
Preoccupied by the greed in this crooked life I lead
More funds to spend or bigger guns to squeeze
Me and my thugs clock G's, sippin' naughty thangs
Real as these tats on my body, and it's k**uminati
[Hook: (Kastro) & 2Pac]
(Yo, Makaveli, they can't stop you)
Hold it down!
(k**uminati and we got you, got you)
(Yo, Makaveli, they can't stop you)
Hold it down!
(k**uminati and we got you, got you)
(Yo, Makaveli, they can't stop you)
Hold it down!
(k**uminati and we got you, got you)
(Yo, Makaveli, they can't stop you)
Hold it down!
(k**uminati and we got you, got you)
[Outro: 2Pac]
(Makaveli the Don until I'm gone, I maintain)
(Makaveli up in this b**h, worldwide mash, Westside
(Makaveli the Don until I'm gone, I maintain)
The question we ask, do you know what time it is?
You know what type of sh** we be
(Makaveli the Don until I'm gone, I maintain)
You want that hip-hop real, it's that hip-hop that's real
Hold it down, hold it down! Hip-hop that's worldwide, feel?
(Makaveli the Don until I'm gone, I maintain)
f** with me, n***a, you get k**ed!
It don't get no realer than this
(Makaveli the Don until I'm gone, I maintain)
What's my motherf**in' name, n***a?
My n***as, we all bad
(Makaveli the Don until I'm gone, I maintain)
What's my muh'f**in name, n***a?
What's my muh'f**in name?
(Makaveli the Don until I'm gone, I maintain)
Outlawz in this b**h, d**h Row at its finest
(Makaveli the Don until I'm gone, I maintain)
Repeat! d**h Row at it's finest
n***a, you know what time it is
(Makaveli the Don until I'm gone, I maintain)…Outlawz…
