[Verse 1: 2Pac]
~#**************#~
Are you confused?
~#**************#~
You wonder how it feels to walk a mile inside the shoes of a nigga who dont have a thing to lose?
~#**************#~
But me and you was homies, no one before me, it was all a scheme
~#**************#~
You infiltrated my team and sold a nigga dreams
~#**************#~
How could you do me like that? I took your family in
~#**************#~
I put some cash in your pocket, made you a man again
~#**************#~
And now you let the fear put your ass in a place
~#**************#~
Complicated to escape, its a fools fate
~#**************#~
Without your word, you a shell of a man
~#**************#~
I lost respect for you, nigga, we can never be friends
~#**************#~
I know what runnin through your head now
~#**************#~
What could you do? If it was up to you, Id be dead now
~#**************#~
I let the world know, nigga, you a coward, you can never be live until you die
~#**************#~
I see the motherfuckin bitch in your eyes
~#**************#~
[Chorus: 2Pac & Nancy Fletcher]
~#**************#~
Type of nigga to let the evil of the money trap me
~#**************#~
When you see me, nigga, you better holla at me (holla at me)
~#**************#~
Gotta be ready, dont let the evil of the money trap me
~#**************#~
So when you see me, nigga, you better holla at me
~#**************#~
You better beware where you lay
~#**************#~
We better not find where you stay
~#**************#~
Gotta be careful, cant let the evil of the money trap me
~#**************#~
So when you see me, nigga, you better holla at me
~#**************#~
You better beware where you lay
~#**************#~
We better not find where you stay
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: 2Pac]
~#**************#~
Curious, spittin lyrics on the verge of furious
~#**************#~
Im addicted to currency, nigga, thats why we doin this
~#**************#~
Got set up, I surprised the niggas the way I got up
~#**************#~
And then I hit the studio, its time to blow the block up
~#**************#~
No hesitation, this information got you contemplatin
~#**************#~
Heartbreakin, eliminatin with this conversation
~#**************#~
Break him and let him see the face of a mental patient
~#**************#~
In celebration of my criminal elevation
~#**************#~
Want participation, I want members across the 50 States
~#**************#~
We keep the nation anticipatin until we break
~#**************#~
Will I be great, is it my fate
~#**************#~
To live a life of luxury so niggas buy my tape?
~#**************#~
So much jealousy it scares me, so be prepared
~#**************#~
‘Cause only the strong survive, life isnt fair (Who cares?)
~#**************#~
Probably never knew the way it feels to die
~#**************#~
So you figure, fuck with me, Ill give that ass a try
~#**************#~
Nigga, holla at me!
~#**************#~
[Chorus: 2Pac & Nancy Fletcher]
~#**************#~
Got to be careful, can’t let the evil of the money trap me
~#**************#~
So when you see me, nigga, you better holla at me
~#**************#~
You better beware where you lay
~#**************#~
We better not find where you stay
~#**************#~
And now I got to be careful, cant let the evil of the money trap me
~#**************#~
So when you see me, nigga, you better holla at me
~#**************#~
[Verse 3: 2Pac]
~#**************#~
I should have saw the signs I was blinded
~#**************#~
Criminal mind of a young black brother doin time
~#**************#~
So many brothers framed in this dirty game
~#**************#~
Its a shame, so much pressure on my brain, why she blame me?
~#**************#~
Secrets in the dark only her and I know
~#**************#~
Now Im sittin in the state pen, doin time slow
~#**************#~
‘Cause she made a bad decision that got me livin
~#**************#~
Just like an animal, Im caged up in state prison
~#**************#~
My niggas dissing cause Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
~#**************#~
A cemetery full of motherfuckers not knowin
~#**************#~
Picture my prophecy, I got some attackin me, on top of me
~#**************#~
Im runnin from the coppers, but never let em stop me
~#**************#~
‘Cause Im a soldier, ever since I was a little nigga
~#**************#~
Havin fantasies of one day bein older
~#**************#~
Niggas is paranoid, trust – a no-no
~#**************#~
Love is a mystery, fuck the po-po, holla at me!
~#**************#~
So when you see me, nigga, you better holla at me!
~#**************#~
[Chorus: 2Pac & Nancy Fletcher]
~#**************#~
You better beware where you lay
~#**************#~
We better not find where you stay

Got to be careful, cant let the evil of the money trap me
~#**************#~
So when ya see me, nigga, you better holla at me
~#**************#~
You better beware where you lay
~#**************#~
We better not find where you stay
~#**************#~

~#**************#~
So when ya see me, nigga, you better holla at me
~#**************#~
You better beware where you lay –
~#**************#~
We better not find where you stay
~#**************#~
