Tupac: Resurrection Page #11

---

can do that after the rappers leave.

That's when it's fresh.

Get that beat popping, throw them

niggas on the track, put it down.

Everybody will listen, be like,

"This is the hook."

We'll go lay the hook.

That's the song.

Plus, I had so much to say,

I figured this was the best way to vent,

instead of paying some

psychotherapist $50 million.

I went in the studio. It was cheaper.

Here we go! California, get up!

Out on bail, fresh out of jail

California dreaming

Soon as I step on the scene

I'm hearing hoochies screaming

Fiending for money and alcohol

The life of the West Side player

Where cowards die

And the strong ball

Only in Cali, where we riot, not rally

To live and die

In L.A., we wear Chucks, not Ballies

Dressed in Locs and khaki suits

And ride is what we do

Flossin' but have caution

We collide with other crews

You gotta realize one thing:

Tupac is Death Row.

I feel I have more than just

a business relationship with him.

He can be like a brother, a friend.

I like everyone on the record company.

I like Suge, Snoop and Dre.

I hang out with them anyway,

now it's official.

This is Tupac and Dr. Dre,

and this is the Week in Rock!

- Week in Rock, baby!

- Week in Rock, baby!

I came out, I was like,

"Dre, I want some beats right now."

He's like, "I'm working on

'California Love'."

I said, "You know you owe me this.

"I'm new on Death Row,

fresh out of jail.

"You ain't gonna be finishing

your album soon."

I love collaborating with creative people

that's as talented as 'Pac.

He got right in and wrote his lyrics

while he was behind the mike

and dropped it, and it's funky.

Say what you say

But give me that bomb beat from Dre

Let me serenade the streets of L.A.

Me coming to Death Row,

for another reason was Snoop.

Please welcome

America's Most Wanted,

Snoop Doggy Dogg and Tupac.

The man got so much style.

Ya'll know we down with this

rock thing, nine-six flavor, Death Row.

But who knew it would last,

this West Side staff?

Yep, yep, yep. This is me and Snoop,

"2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted",

the bomb track. It's the first single.

It's gonna be like the anthem

of West Coast rap.

This is gonna shake the whole

music scene, guaranteed.

Ain't nothing but a gangsta party

Oh, sh*t

You done f***ed up now

You done put two of

America's Most Wanted

In the same motherfucking place

At the same motherfucking time

Y'all niggas about to feel this

Break out the champagne glasses

Picture perfect

I paint a perfect picture

Bomb the hoochies with precision

My intention's to get richer

With the S-N-double-O-P Dogg

My f***ing homey

You's a cold-ass nigga

On them hogs

I keep my hand on my gun

'Cause they got me on the run

Now I'm back in the courtroom

Waiting on the outcome

Me and Snoop represent the nucleus

of the entire ghetto.

Snoop represents the more calm,

all legit, by the book,

no waves,

let's get our business handled.

You're doing your job every day

And then you work so hard

Till your hair turn gray

Let me tell you about life

And about the way it is

You see, we live by the gun

So we die by the gun's kids

Tell me not to roll with my Glock

So now I gotta throw away

Floating in a black Benz

And trying to do a show a day

I represent the hard-core, no-holds-

barred, no-prisoners, relentless thug.

They wonder how I live with five shots

Niggas is hard to kill on my block

Schemes for currency

And dough-related

Affiliated with the hustlers

And so we made it

We both represent

both sides of the game.

The calm one and the relentless one.

My nigga, Dogg, with me

Eternally the most wanted

Here's my commercial for Death Row.

If you come to Death Row,

you will see

your art brought to a bigger plateau,

and you will be paid one of these days.

Death Row. Count with me.

Count with me.

This is for my homeboys in jail.

These are 100s.

And they ain't counterfeit.

If I said it was the money,

the struggle continues.

I got money, but I have to pay

everybody even more money.

I owe money to Death Row.

So it's not just, "Oh, he's paid.

He's living large." It's not like that.

People wanna sue you,

and I have to settle for this and that

when I know I didn't do anything,

just because it's like:

"I don't wanna go to court another

eight months." Makes you work harder.

Next year, Death Row is gonna

print our own money.

We make so much,

we need to start printing our own.

It's gonna be me and Suge

on the $100 bill.

Me, Suge and Damu gonna be

on the $100 bill.

I felt I'm getting pimped.

This is the $100 bill

on Death Row money, here.

But you have to come up, start from

the bottom and work up to the top.

Ladies and gentlemen,

please welcome acclaimed rap artist

and Grammy nominee, Tupac.

People fail to realize

this is not just play. I work.

Run! Scatter, scatter!

Drag K off the stage.

Y'all come on, man.

Do it for real, man. One, two, three.

When it's time to get down

and do my business, I'm going to.

I can't get no blood on the set?

Sh*t.

I believe I'm more responsible,

more mature and more focused.

You don't say you need me

You don't sing me love songs

Y'all don't bring us flowers anymore

When I was in jail, I couldn't

remember why I was rapping.

But I was away from it so long, I said,

"I really like going to the studio.

"I really like creating."

Living held down

My game plan, to be trained

And military mind of a thug lord

I like music, and I like acting.

I like doing it.

She's a super freak, super freak

She's super-freaky

I can be me. I can be whoever

because I'm true to me.

The reason I sell six million records,

the reason I can go to jail

and come out without a scratch,

the reason I am who I am is because I

can look into my face and find my soul.

It's there. I didn't sell it.

So lash out and get a glass

Done finally got his own drink

Call it the best

Introducing a special brew

Made for a chosen few

I'm thugged out

While Snoop Dogg's sipping blue

I thought, "I'm a superpower.

Death Row is a superpower.

"Let's combine superpowers and ally."

Damu! My dog's going crazy,

ready to kill a few people.

- Yeah. Yeah.

- He wanna kill.

I love my artists.

I don't consider my people artists.

I consider them family.

It's just a big difference, if they

decided to turn in rapping or singing,

they'd still be my homeboys.

We'd still travel together.

If they needed something,

what's mine will still be theirs.

It's no situation where I'm dealing

with them strictly for business,

because they're good.

It's not like that.

You've gotta have more respect

for your people.

Plus we've got a Death Row East

going on.

- I'm sure you heard about that.

- Tell me about that.

Hold on. Damu! Damu, sit!

But Death Row has a reputation

for having a thug-like mentality.

Won't that get you in trouble?

Death Row has a bigger reputation

for success than anything else.

The reason for all of the fear

involves the world of this man,

the man getting out of the limousine.
