[Segue from "Bomb First"]
[Intro: 2Pac]
Makaveli in this
Killuminati all through your body
The blow is like a 12-gauge shotty
Uh, feel me
(Come with me; Hail Mary, nigga, run quick, see)
And God said He should send His one begotten son
(What do we have here now? Do you wanna ride or die?)
To lead the wild into the ways of the man
Follow me! (La, la-da-la-la-la-la-la)
Eat my flesh, flesh of my flesh!
[Chorus: 2Pac]
Come with me
Hail Mary, nigga, run quick, see
What do we have here now?
Do you wanna ride or die?
La, la-da-la-la-la-la-la
[Verse 1: 2Pac]
I ain't a killer, but don't push me
Revenge is like the sweetest joy next to gettin' pussy
Picture paragraphs unloaded, wise words bein' quoted
Peeped the weakness in the rap game and sewed it
Bow down, pray to God, hopin' that He's listenin'
Seein' niggas comin' for me, through my diamonds when they glistenin'
Now pay attention: bless me please, Father, I'm a ghost (Ghost)
In these killing fields, Hail Mary, catch me, if I go
Let's go deep inside the solitary mind of a madman
Screams (Screams!) in the dark, evil lurks, enemies see me flee
Activate my hate, let it break, to the flame
Set trip, empty out my clip, never stop to aim
Some say the game is all corrupt and fucked in this shit
Stuck, niggas is lucky if we bust out this shit
Plus, mama told me never stop until I bust a nut
Fuck the world if they can't adjust, it's just as well, Hail Mary
[Chorus: 2Pac]
Come with me
Hail Mary, nigga, run quick, see
What do we have here now?
Do you wanna ride or die?
La, da-da, da, da, da-da, da
Come with me
Hail Mary, nigga, run quick, see
What do we have here now?
Do you wanna ride or die?
La, da-da, da, da, da-da, da
[Verse 2: 2Pac]
Penitentiaries is packed with promise-makers, never realized
The precious time that bitch niggas is wastin', institutionalized
I live my life a product made to crumble
Much too hardened for a smile, way too crazy to be humble, we ballin'
Catch me, Father, please ‘cause I'm fallin' in the liquor store
Pass the Hennessy, I hear you callin', can I get some more?
Bail 'til I reach Hell, I ain't scared
Mama checkin' in my bedroom, I ain't there
I got a head with no screws in it, what can I do?
One life to live, but I got nothin' to lose, just me and you
On a one-way trip to prison, sellin' drugs
We all wrapped up in this livin', life as thugs
To my homeboys in Clinton Max doin' their bid
Raise hell to this real shit, and feel this
When they turn out the lights, I'll be there in the dark
Thuggin' eternal through my heart
Now Hail Mary, nigga
[Chorus: 2Pac]
Come with me
Hail Mary, nigga, run quick, see
What do we have here now?
Do you wanna ride or die?
La, da-da, da, da, da-da, da
Come with me
Hail Mary, nigga, run quick, see
What do we have here now?
Do you wanna ride or die?
La, da-da, da, da, da-da, da
[Verse 3: Kastro]
They got a APB out on my Thug family
Since Outlawz run these streets, like these scandalous freaks
Our enemies die now, walk around half-dead
Head down, K blasted off of Hennessy and Thai
Chronic, mixed in, now I'm twisted, blistered and high
Visions of me, thug livin' gettin' me by
Forever live, and I multiply, survived by thugs
When I die, they won't cry unless they comin' with slugs
[Verse 4: Young Noble]
Peep the whole scene and whatever's goin' on around me
Brain kind of cloudy, smoked out, feelin' rowdy
Ready to wet the party up and whoever in that motherfucker
Nasty new street Slugger, my heat, seeks suckas on the regular
Mashin' in a stolen Black Ac' Integra
Cocked back, sixty seconds 'til the draw, that's when I'm deadin' ya
Feet first, you've got a nice gat but my heat's worse
From a thug to preachin' church, I gave you love, now you eatin' dirt
Needin' work, and I ain't the nigga to put you on
‘Cause word is bond, when I was broke, I had to hustle 'til dawn
That's when the sun came up, there's only one way up
Hold your head and stay up, to all my niggas, get your pay and weight up (Woo, woo)
[Bridge: Kadafi]
If it's on, then it's on, we rape beat-breaks
Outlawz on a paper chase, can you relate?
To this shit I don't got be the shit I gotta take (Take)
Dealin' with fate, hopin' God don't close the gate (Woo)
If it's on, then it's on, we rape beat-breaks (Yeah, yeah)
Outlawz on a paper chase, can you relate? (Woo)
To this shit I don't got be the shit I gotta take
Dealin' with fate, hopin' God don't close the gate
[Chorus: 2Pac & Prince Ital Joe]
Come with me
Hail Mary, nigga, run quick, see
What do we have here now?
Do you wanna ride or die?
We've been travelin' on this weary road
Sometimes life can be a heavy load
But we ride, ride it like a bullet
Come with me
Hail Mary, Hail Mary (Hail Mary)
We won't worry, everyting will curry
Hail Mary, nigga, run quick, see
Free like the bird in the tree
We won't worry, everyting will curry
Yes, we free like the bird in the tree
We runnin' from the penitentiary
This is the time for we liberty
Hail Mary, Hail Mary
What do we have here now?
Do you wanna ride or die?
La, la-da-la-la-la-la-la-la-da
