VIOLENT
[2Pac] They claim that I m violent
just cause I refuse to be silent These hypocrites are havin fits
cause I m not buyin it Defyin it
envious because I will rebel against any oppressor
and this is known as self defense I show no mercy
they claim that I m the lunatic But when the shit gets thick
I m the one you go and get Don t look confused
the truth is so plain to see Cause I m the nigga that you sell-outs are ashamed to be In every Jeep and every car
brothers stomp this I m Never Ignorant
Getting Goals Accomplished The underground railroad on an uprise This time the truth s gettin told
heard enough lies I told em fight back
attack on society If this is violence
then violent s what I gotta be If you investigate you ll find out where it s comin from Look through our history
America s the violent one Unlock my brain
break the chains of your misery This time the payback for evil shit you did to me They call me militant
racist cause I will resist You wanna censor somethin
mother er censor this! My words are weapons
and I m steppin to the silent Wakin up the masses
but you
claim that I m violent Chorus: 1st occurance: as written 2nd occurance: add last three lines again 3rd occurance: repeat first five lines twice 4th occurance: repeat first five lines twice 5th occurance: second to fifth line

but they can t touch me Call me a dope man
cause I rock dope beats Jacked by the police

"Excuse me
why you tryin to rob me?" He had tha nerve to
say that I had a curfew (Do you know what time it is? Get out the ing car
or I ll hurt you!) "Get out the car
or I lI hurt you" So here I go
I better make my mind up Pick my nine up
or hit the line-up I chose B
stepped into the streets The first cop grabbed me
the other ripped my seat They grabbed my homie and they threw him to the concrete (Ay man..
aiyyo..
ay man just c mon ?) ("What you doin man?") They tried to frame me They tried to say I had some dope in the back seat But I m a rap fiend
not a crack fiend My homie panicked ("I m out") he tried to run (Freeze nigga!) I heard a bullet fire from the cop s gun My homie dropped so
I hit the cop I kept swingin
yo
I couldn t stop Before I knew it
I was beatin the cop senseless The other cop dropped his gun
he was defenseless (? Arrrrggggh

of tradin places And all this
cause the peckerwood was tryin this frame up
but I came up Now they claimin that I m violent Chorus [2Pac] As I was beatin on a cop
I heard a gun click (uh-ohh) Then the gun shot
but I wasn t hit I turned around it was my homie with the gun in hand He shot the cop (damn!) now he s a dead man I said
come on
it s time for us to get away (Let s go
we gotta get the outta here) They called for backup
and they ll be on their way Jumped in the car
and tried to get away quick The car wouldn t start (damn!) we in deep shit So we jumped out (C mon let s take the cop s car) We drove a little ways thinkin that we got far But I looked up
and all I saw was blue lights If I die tonight
I m dying in a gunfight I grabed the AK
my homie took the 12 gauge Load em up quick
it s time for us to spray We ll shoot em up with they own in weapons And when we through sprayin (audi) then we steppin This is a lesson
to the rednecks and crooked cops You with real niggaz
get ya in ass dropped So here we go
the police against us Dark as dusk
waitin for the guns to bust (What s next man?) What s next
I don t know and I don t care One things fo sho
tommorrow I won t be here But if I go
