Me Against the World
Always do your best / Don’t let the pressure make you panic / And when you get stranded / And things don’t go the way you planned it / Dreamin’ of riches / In a position of makin’ a difference
[Hook]
It’s just me against the world
Nothin’ to lose
It’s just me against the world, baby
I got nothin’ to lose
It’s just me against the world
Stuck in the game
Me against the world, baby
Can you picture my prophecy?
Stress in the city
The cops on top of me
The projects is full of bullets
Though bodies is droppin’
There ain’t no stoppin’ me
Constantly movin’
While makin’ millions
Witnessin’ killings
Leavin’ dead bodies in abandoned buildings
Can’t reach the children ’cause they’re illin’
Addicted to killin’ and the appeal from the cap peelin’
Without feelin’
But will they last or be blasted?
Hard-headed bastard
Maybe he’ll listen in his casket
The aftermath
More bodies bein’ buried
I’m losin’ my homies in a hurry, they’re relocatin’ to the cemetery
Got me worried
Stressin’, my vision’s blurry
The question is will I live
No one in the world loves me
I’m headed for danger
Don’t trust strangers
Put one in the chamber whenever I’m feelin’ this anger
Don’t wanna make excuses
’Cause this is how it is, what’s the use?
Unless we’re shootin’, no one notices the youth
It’s just me against the world, baby

[Yaki Kadafi]
Could somebody help me?
I’m out here all by myself, see
Ladies in stores, Baby Capone’s, livin’ wealthy
Pictures of my birth on this Earth is what I’m dreamin’
Seein’ daddy’s semen, full of crooked demons
Already crazy and screamin’, I guess them nightmares as a child
Had me scared but left me prepared for a while
Is there another route
For a crooked Outlaw?
Veteran, a villain, a young thug, who one day shall fall
[E.D.I. Mean]
Everyday there’s mo’ death, and plus I’m dough-less
I’m seein’ more reasons for me to proceed with thievin’
Scheme on the schemin’ and leave they peeps grievin’
Cause ain’t no bucks to stack up
My nuts is backed up, I’m about to act up
Go load the MAC up, now watch me klacka
Tried makin’ fat cuts, but yo, it ain’t workin’
And evil’s lurkin’, I can see him smirkin’ when I gets to pervin’
So what? Go put some work in and make my mail
Makin’ sales, riskin’ 25 with a L, but oh well
[Hook with variations] (x2)
[2Pac]
With all this extra stressin’
The question I wonder is after death
After my last breath
When will I finally get to rest through this oppression?
They punish the people that’s askin’ questions
And those that possess
Steal from the ones without possessions
The message I stress
To make it stop, study your lessons
Don’t settle for less
Even the genius asks his questions
Be grateful for blessings
Don’t ever change
Keep your essence
The power is in the people and politics we address
Always do your best
Don’t let the pressure make you panic
And when you get stranded
And things don’t go the way you planned it
Dreamin’ of riches
In a position of makin’ a difference
Politicians are hypocrites
They don’t wanna listen
If I’m insane
It’s the fame made a brother change
It wasn’t nothin’ like the game
It’s just me against the world

[Outro: 2Pac]
Hahaha, that’s right
I know it seem hard sometimes
But, uh, remember one thing
Through every dark night, there’s a bright day after that
So no matter how hard it get
Stick your chest out, keep your head up, and handle it
