[Verse 1: 2Pac]
~#**************#~
Just holla my name and witness game official
~#**************#~
Niggas is so ashamed they stand stiff like scared bitches
~#**************#~
While I remain inside a paradox called my block
~#**************#~
Though gunshots is promised to me, when will I stop?
~#**************#~
I hit the weed and hope to God I can fly high
~#**************#~
Witness my enemies die when I ride by
~#**************#~
They shouldnt have tried me
~#**************#~
I send they bodies to they parents up North
~#**************#~
With they faces, they wrists, and they nuts cut off
~#**************#~
Fuck em all what I scream as I dream in tongues
~#**************#~
Fuck a trick, get me rich and the bitchesll come
~#**************#~
Bust my gun, make em all scatter
~#**************#~
Bullets to my nuts only made my balls fatter
~#**************#~
Eat a dick, biyotch mercy, never that, you say you comin back?
~#**************#~
Bring it on, forever strapped
~#**************#~
Introduce you to the pleasure and the pain, you can go so far
~#**************#~
Just sell me your soul, and live the life (of a ghetto star)
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: Nutt-So]
~#**************#~
I live the life of a thug nigga, drug dealer livin game tight
~#**************#~
Mug niggas, slug niggas for the fame life
~#**************#~
Laced with game, practice on takin pain
~#**************#~
Quick to slang, and let it rain through yo brain
~#**************#~
Street smart, proficient, intelligent
~#**************#~
And keep suckers hittin til snitches start smellin it
~#**************#~
Movin niggas with telekinesis
~#**************#~
Keepin Channel 7 at work, filmin different features
~#**************#~
Leadin niggas to an early death with they head blown
~#**************#~
And to those who didnt make it to the morgue was just dead and gone
~#**************#~
And hope niggas got punished
~#**************#~
Kidnapped, jacked in the back with MACs to they neck, rappers waitin to get done in
~#**************#~
Back tat at him we tossed his ass out
~#**************#~
M.O.B. related, one mo nigga found shot up with his dick in his mouth
~#**************#~
Printed my name in these streets as a motherfuckin G
~#**************#~
Now the next generations lookin up to me, life as a ghetto star
~#**************#~
[Verse 3: 2Pac]
~#**************#~
Walkin through the cemetery, talkin to my homies that was buried
~#**************#~
See my enemies wanna see me dead, I aint worried, forgive me
~#**************#~
Please give me shelter, calm my fears
~#**************#~
Lifted my head, from my hands, had a palm of tears
~#**************#~
I see bodies gettin splashed, with acid
~#**************#~
Two shots rang from the plastic Glock, wrapped in plastic
~#**************#~
Buried the bastard, time to notify
~#**************#~
His family, shit!, aint nothing left to be identified
~#**************#~
Evacuate the crime scene fast
~#**************#~
Why, I heard the Feds had a warrant for my ass
~#**************#~
Fly, I wont touch down til I see Tijuana
~#**************#~
Set up a shop selling them crooked cops marijuana
~#**************#~
Label me a success, I made the switch
~#**************#~
Retired from the life that never gave me shit
~#**************#~
But cash that I couldnt spend, countless cars
~#**************#~
An addict for a wife, my life, as a ghetto star
~#**************#~
[Verse 4: Nutt-So]
~#**************#~
Got the word that some nerds wanna plot on this
~#**************#~
Hit the curve, let it swerve, had to stop they grip
~#**************#~
No remorse, no repentance as I buck one down
~#**************#~
Straight to the morgue cause I plan on, shuttin shit down
~#**************#~
Born soldier, fucked em up with a MAC-fo
~#**************#~
Torn ligaments, all up in that nigga shoulder
~#**************#~
And a vest couldnt protect that flesh
~#**************#~
Cause I got, slugs, to knock the air out your chest
~#**************#~
Death, apparently they wasnt sucka free
~#**************#~
Cause I had all them wannabe thug niggas in protective custody
~#**************#~
I guess they heard that I got them birds
~#**************#~
Thought I was a nerd til I bucked one of them to the curb
~#**************#~
Luxury livin lavish, with dreams of dyin rich
~#**************#~
With a team and clientele on my mothafuckin dick
~#**************#~
And gettin down on these snitch bitches, protectin riches
~#**************#~
By givin stitches, the life as a ghetto star
~#**************#~
[Interlude: 2Pac]
~#**************#~
When I grow up I wanna be like them
~#**************#~

~#**************#~
When I grow up I wanna be like them
~#**************#~

~#**************#~
