Static: 1 in 21
Im smokin these niggas like they endoBreakin em like they windows
And still they riff till they get a whiff Of the shit that I kick
And if they ever had a notion to stop me
Shoot ya best shot and get dropped wit ya posse
Nigga I got the motz Im takin em out alot I got
More than you can hock Im rockin the spotSo now they jock Loc'em and get dropped
Tupac aint tryin to hear it
Im swingin at your knot Im swingin at your knot so hot
Static is the last thing ya need when ya see me
Better have a bat or a gat to defeat me
Nigga Im a whole posse rolled into one shot
Takin all ya got as your girl gets hotAnd rocks the spot
Bringin' the funky flavor with the gift that only God gave
Point me to my grave, Id rather die than be a slave
Slaves come as dopedealers Some come as addicts
Some try to run while the others call STATIC
Panther Power
Tupac:As real as it seems the American dream
Ain't nuthin but anotha calculated scheme
To keep us locked up and shot up and back in chains
To deny us our future rob our nameKept our history a mystery but now i see
The American dream wasn't meant for me
Cause lady liberty's a hypocrite she lied to me
Promised freedom education and ecualityNever gave be nuthin but slavery
But now look at how dangerous you made me
Callin me a man cause I'm strong and bold
With this gumbo of knowledge of the lies you told
Promised me emancipation and a free nation
All you ever gave my people was starvation
The father of our country never cared for me
They kept our ancestors shacked up in slavery
Uncle Sam neva did a damm thing for meExcept lie about the facts in my history
Now I'm sittin here mad cause I'm unemployed
But the government mad cause they enjoy
When my people are down they just screw us around
Time to change the government nowPanther PowerRay:
panther power from the place that resides within
Go to for to with a panther and you just can’t win
Self proclaimed best supress the restThe rich get richer and the poor take less
The American dream was the American nightmare
You kept my people down and refused to fight fair
The Ku Klux Klan tried to keep us outWith signs that state 'No Blacks Allowed'
With intimidation and segregationOnce would wait for our freedom
but now we're impatientBlacks they others they yell sell out
Freedom equality get out yell outDon't eva be ashamed of what you are
It's your Panther power that makes you a starPanther PowerTupac:
My mother neva let me forget my history
Hopin that I would set free cahins that were put on me
Wanted to be more than just freeHad to know tha true facts about my history
I couldn't settle for bein a statistic
Couldn't survive in this capitalistic government
Cause it was meant to hold us back with ignorance
Drugs and sneak attacks in my communityThey killed our unity
But when I charged them they cried immunity
I strike america like a case of heart disease
Panther Power is runnin through my arteries
Try to stop me homeboy you'll get clawed to death
Cause I'll be fightin for my freedom til my dyin breathRay:
Do you remember that's what I'm askin you
you think you're livin free don't make me laugh at you
Open your eyes realise you've been locked in chains
Said you wasn’t civilized and stole your name
Cause some time has passed we seem to all firget
There's no liberty for me and you we ain't free yetPanther Power
Case of the Misplaced Mic
They finally did it (what's that?)They stole the mic I grip
Now that it's gone (what's wrong?)
I'm feelin tired and sick (How did they do it?)
I don't know I wasn't sleepin that longWhen I woke up (what happened brother?)
My microphone was goneAt first i panicked (how?) I put the cops on the case
But they were stuck (damm?) Without a clue or a trace
So sure as smokin cigarettes is bad for your health
If I want my microphone back I'll find it myself
So I picked up the phone (for what?) I called Dizzy Dizzy: what's up?
My mic is gone Dizzy: Word? Let's get busy
Before I could tell Dizzy What I wanted to do
He was over at my house with the TMS crewHe said
Dizzy: Word is out in every mouthIn the street now that your mic is gone
It's not long until your beatAnd then it hit me (Damm) I got a battle at six
Without my microphone I'm guaranteed to get whipped
You might think it's unbelivable but word to the strength
when it comes to rockin rhymes I'm a musical nymph
They gave me other mics but yo it wasn't no useI tried to rock One two one two
But I couldn't get loose I said forget itMy microphone or not I gotta do it
Give it all that I go (What if u loose?) It be the first time I lost
But if I beat em I'll finally prove I'm the boss
I grabbed my leather jacket Walked through the streets
Suckers was hopin and preyin Strictly Dope would get beat
I begin to get hyped I was ready to fightYo I was confident that I'd win
To hell with the micI hopped up to the stage Dizzy started the beat
suckers shivered cause he Tasted defeat
Then I signaled to Dizzy Bust a rhyme off my head
Perpetrator fell back (Huh?) And then he was dead
I was happy as hell Cause I was lucky that nite
Put my hand in my pocket And there was my micTHE CASE OF THE MISPLACED MIC
STRICTLY DOPE IN THE HOUSE
Never Be Beat
[Tupac]Fumble suckers tumble goddamm I'm goodsince i was born I was strong
Always knew that I couldDon't care anywhere anyplace I rock
Give me a mic tonight competition I'll drop
Fast or slow I'll go and no one is gonna stop me
Yo you must be kidding you swear you gonna drop me no
Well sure as battlin is bad for your health
I know your confident boy but don't fool yourself
My mic's a weapon I'm steppin with a capable rhyme
Yo your time for playin is ova you got your crew I got mine
Not braggin I'm bad and I could only get betta
Your girl came on to me she wanted me I wouldn't let her
Don't make sense to come against me and my man "D"
How it is how it was that's the way it'll be
You still think you can beat me get it together
Cause I'll never be beat, never be beat, never[Ray]
Boldly you steppin to the top of the piece
Cause I'm the predator competitor and I'm risin like yeast
I'm the microphone musician musically I'm the most
When I rumble you tumble like a burnt piece of toast
Proceed with caution i cannot be stopped
A deadly weapon that's kept inside a Sentry lock
Strong hold holding on but there's no holds barred
f*** around feel the wrath and your forever scarred
Anybody want to battle step the hell up
Toss your ass like a salad and eat you all up
You climb the rope of success but you know you can't win
You get discouraged cause I hold the otha end
If I let you go like all the others you will fall
The vicious vocalist consoloist will still be raw[Tupac]
Your bein waxed like a sucker but you'll neva recoup
I'm a veteran a breathren goin in like a troop
Try to stop me you can't you puff and you pant
Try to beat me at this game you gettin stomped like an ant
In the long run I'm the one that's holding the mic
Upset to get to me sweatin me for the rhymes that I write
This time we're goin at it get readyCause I'm your worst nightmare, f*** Freddy
Where's that mothaf***er that said that I was a dope
Tyin up rhymes like a rope I'll pull it tight and I'll choke
You swear that you could beat me punk get it together
Cause I'll never be beat you punk, never[Ray]
Hard is what you wanted knowledge is what you gettin
I'm movin and groovin and proven, you're still sittin
Got me blowin up, like a Hawaiian vulcanoRunnin things like Drano
Lettin you know that there ain't no-bodygonna diss me now I'm comin exact
I'm paid got it made cause I'm makin tracksThis is a lesson at bein dope that is
Cordless mics are mine and the wheels are his
Tons and tons of freaks I'm a mack daddy-o
Writin def jams while I'm chillin on my patio
You are useless as a toothless piranhaI'm ruthless now I'm gonna
Bust it and discuss it make it funky to hear
Paragraph to the people penetratin your ear
You wanna taste of it ooh here take a full dose
Burn you up like radiation if you get too close[Tupac]
Cause my mouth is like an uzi when it moves so quick
And my lyrics are the bullets that I'm loadin it with
You wanna beat me homeboy I think you'll be destroyed
Get dropped like a habit and played like a toy
Never defeated I'm not conceited but let's face the facts
Couldn't beat me with a motherf***in baseball bat
If I gave you a bomb that was nuclear armed
You could shoot it at me and I wouldn't get harmed
Cause punk you can't stop me bullets couldn't drop me
Stand on a mountain and still you couldn't top me
You think you'll beat me boy get it togetha
Cause I'll never be beat you punk, never[Ray]
When you hear my thumpin it's a maximum charge
Cause I'm the hip hop hood the ringleader at largeGot a Ph.D in history
I'm deadly boy not a toy like a poetry, prodigy
Young beat conisseur hummin like a bird
It was true when uou heard I'm the wiz the word
Your eyes delate your eardrums expand
When my voice comes through speaker from the mic in my hand
Woofers stompin like thunder all about to explode
The needle on the nuance stuck in overload
Don't laugh cause I'm serious Mr. Mysterious
Don't make me wad (why) cause I get furious
Countless time is he just when you think I'm through
I let my melody stretch to make more for you
Just bust it cause I'm just too cleverand I'll never be beat ya punk, never.
