[2PAC]
Instead of me fulfilling my prophecy, I have to start one
Instead of me doing a good job of carrying on an empire, I have to build one
That's a hell of a job
[Verse 1]
Man for the job
Yea working towards all my goals
Better than clocking in
And working for Ari Gold
Laundry at the bank
Spend and watching my money fold
Political party unknown
But shorty working that pole man
I'm from the 212, where nightmares come true
The cop do come through
But only to hunt u
Tryna get up out this motherf**er
Gotta die go to heaven to be a legend that's uncool like my mothers brother
Come and take a strange visit
To a hood where lifespan is insane midget, crazy short
We ain't living
Screaming more money more problems
But I ain't wit it
Where I'm from n***as had problems
But see the money never came it
Ima take this limelight
Make sure that I Shine bright
Identical deaf twins
I should of been signed twice
Anti-nonsense
Talent God sent illuminating out the darkness equals me
I'm a motherf**ing star b**h
All first verse
[Big Pun]
You know just don't say anything to me
Just to say anything, Don't
Common sense don't ask me how do I get on
You how you get on you work hard and get lucky
[Verse 2]
They ask me what im livin' like
Motherf**er I'm just livin' life
Studio, then perform, back to the studio
n***a, Then a flight
Orlando Walt Disney
This is magic pin the stripes
Pray sunrise and sin at night
Hoping I can get it right
1/1 wit the flow yea n***a my pen is tight
20/20 wit my goals yea n***a my vision right
Not ya com-rad, Dr Conrad k** the mic
Haters
This is for hood dudes that never made it
Could be college educated, but just not as dedicated
If its not refrigerated we don't drink it
If it wasn't innovative didn't think it
Not loud enough my n***a we don't stank it
Soo good to the d**h of him
It's so bad for the rest of them
These dudes is filled wit estrogen
Whip not in motion but the car sick
Calm sh** all u n***as my sons
You will never see this don trip
Cause I'm a muthaf**ing star b**h
[Aaliyah]
I stay up on what's going on in music
You know what's happening and all that
But I won't let those things influence me to stray
From what I want to do
[Verse 3]
I'm tryna be Pac before the fight
Aaliyah before the flight
Big before that soul train music awards night
Pun before the heart attack
Harlem's back
Reason why I started rap
B-b-be B-b-Be a motherf**ing legend n***a duh
Party all night studio is my club
Hard work gotta pay off (echo)
That's what he scream as I walk thru the blocks
Girls a fall on jock
Tryna get to the point that they lactating
(Laugh)
So they can milk a motherf**er for all that he got
Lord please protect me from these conniving hoes
And turn true statements into lies they told
From a city where our parents couldn't buy us clothes
So we put our faith in a ball or writing flows
No Kanye yet and still that's the Target (targ-ey)
No target, Ahh sh** cause I'm a motherf**ing star b**h
[Notorious B.I.G]
My music really ain't got no messages
For somebody else to listen to it and learn from
It's just basically an autobiography of my self
You can take either way you want to
You can take it as you want to be like me
Or you can take it as you want to stay away from what I was doing
I can't really be that role model type of n***a
I leave that to the parents and teachers and sh**
I'm just making music, that's it
