Violent - 2Pac LYRICS

They claim that I’m violent
Just ‘cause I refuse to be silent
These hypocrites are havin’ fits
Cuz I’m not buying it defying 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
And every jeep and every car, brother stomp this
I'm Never Ignorant, Gettin’ Goals Accomplished
The Underground Railroad on an up rise
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 pay back for evil shit you did too me
They call me militant, racist ‘cause I will resist
You wanna censor something?
Motherfucker censor this!
My words are weapons, and I’m steppin’ to the sirens
Wakin’ up the masses
But you, claim that I’m violent

Chorus

(with tons of scratching in the chorus)

Fuck a damn cop, (they claimin’ that I’m violent)
Just because we play what the people want, (Violent)
Fuck a damn cop, (they claimin’ that I’m violent)
Just because we play what the people want, (Violent)
Fuck a damn cop, (they claimin’ that I’m violent)

The cops can’t stand me, but they can't touch me
Call me a dope man, cause I rock dope beats
Jacked by the police, didn’t have my ID
I said, excuse me, why ya tryin to rob me?
He had the nerve to, say I had a curfew
Get out the car, or I’ll hurt you
So here I go, I better make my mind up
Pick my 9 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
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, he tried to run
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
Now I’m against this cop who was racist
Givin’im a taste of tradin’ places
And all this cause the peckerwood was tryin’ this frame up, but
I came up
Now they claiming that I’m violent

Chorus

As I was beatin’ on a cop, I heard a gun click
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, now he's a dead man
I said, come on, it's time for us to get away
They called for back up, and they’ll be on their way
Jumped in the car, and tried to get away quick
The car wouldn't start, we in deep shit
So we jumped out, (come on, let’s take the cops car!)
We drove a little ways thinking that we got far
But I looked up and all I saw was blue lights
If I die tonight, I’m dying in a gun fight
I grabbed 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 fuckin’ weapons
And when we threw spraying, then we steppin’
This is a lesson to the rednecks and crooked cops
You fuck with real niggas, get your fuckin’ ass dropped
So here we go, the police against us
Dark as dusk, waitin’ for the guns to bust
What's next? I don't know and I don’t care
One thing’s for sure, tomorrow I won’t be here
But if I go, I’m takin’ all these punks with me
Pass me a clip G, now come get me
You wanna sweat me, never get me to be silent
Givin’em a reason, (a reason)
Ta claim that I’m violent

Chorus

(with tons of scratching in the chorus)

Fuck a damn cop, (they claimin’ that I’m violent)
Just because we play what the people want, (Violent)
Fuck a damn cop, (they claimin’ that I’m violent)
Just because we play what the people want, (Violent)
Fuck a damn cop, (they claimin’ that I’m violent)
