Saul Williams - 2Pac's “Ambitionz Az A Ridah” lyrics

[Hook] I won't deny it, I'm a straight ridah You don't wanna f** with me Got the police bustin' at me But they can't do nothing to a G Let's get ready to rumble [Intro] Now you know how we do it like a G What really go on in the mind of a n***a That get down for theirs Constantly, money over b**hes Not b**hes over money Stay on your grind, n***a My ambitions as a ridah My ambitions as a ridah [Verse 1] So many battlefield scars while driven in plush cars This life as a rap star is nothing without heart Was born rough and rugged, addressing the ma** public My attitude was "f** it", cause motherf**ers love it To be a soldier, must maintain composure at ease Though life is complicated, only what you make it to be Uh, and my ambitions as a ridah to catch her While she hot and horny, go up inside her Then I spit some game in her ear, "go to the telly, ho" Equipped with money in a Benz, cause b**h I'm barely broke I'm smoking bomb a** weed, feeling crucial From player to player, the game's tight, the feeling's mutual From hustling and prayers, to breaking motherf**ers to pay up I got no time for these b**hes, cause these hoes try to play us I'm on a meal ticket mission, want a mill, so I'm wishing Competition got me ripped, on that bullsh** they stressing (booyah!) I'mma rhyme though, clown hoes like it's mandatory No guts no glory, my n***a, b**h got the game distorted Now it's on and it's on because I said so Can't trust a b**h in the business so I got with d**h Row Now these money hungry b**hes getting suspicious Started plotting and planning on schemes, to come and trick us But thug n***as be on point and game tight Me, Syke and Bogart, strapped up the same night Got problems then handle it, motherf**ers see me These n***as is jealous cause deep in they heart they wanna be me Uh, yeah, and now ya got me right beside ya Hoping you listen I catch you paying attention To my ambitions as a ridah [Hook] [Verse 2] Peep it, it was my only wish to rise Above these jealous coward motherf**ers I despise When it's time to ride, I was the first off this side, give me the nine I'm ready to die right here tonight, and motherf** they life (yeah n***a!) That's what they screaming as they drill me, but I'm hard to k** So open fire, I see you k** me, witness my steel Spitting at adversaries, envious and after me I'd rather die before they capture me, watch me bleed Mama come rescue me I'm suicidal, thinking thoughts I'm innocent, so there'll be bullets flying when I'm caught (Shoot!) f** doing jail time, better day, sacrificing Won't get a chance to do me like they did my n***a Tyson Thugging for life, and if you right, then n***a die for it Let them other brothers try, at least you tried for it When it's time to die, to be a man, you pick the way you leave f** peace and the police, my ambitions as a ridah [Hook] [Verse 3] My murderous lyrics equipped with spirits of the thugs before me Pay off the block, evade the cops cause I know they coming for me I been hesitant to reappear, been away for years Now I'm back my adversaries been reduced to tears Question my methods to switch up speeds, sure as some b**hes bleed n***as'll feel the fire of my mother's corrupted seed Blast me but they didn't finish, (buck buck buck buck buck) Didn't diminish my powers So now I'm back to be a motherf**ing menace, they cowards That's why they tried to set me up Had b**h a** n***as on my team, so indeed, they wet me up But I'm back reincarnated, incarcerated At the time I contemplate the way that God made it Lace em with lyrics that's legendary, musical mercenary For money, I'll have these motherf**ers buried (I been) Getting much mail in jail, n***as telling me to k** it Knowing when I get out, they gon' feel it Witness the realest, a hoo-ridah when I put the sh** inside The cry from all your people when they find her Just remind ya, my history'll prove authentic Revenge on them n***as that played me And all the cowards that was down with it Now it's yo n***a right beside ya Hoping you listening, catch you paying attention To my ambitions as a ridah
