[2Pac's Verse]

They wanna band me cause a brothas makin noise a lot
ill shoot they ass in a sec wit a poisin dart.
they got me runnin down the street gettin hotter.
runnin from the cops as i try to clock my glock
the war wont stop.
thats why they wanna band the music.
you ever notcie how the cops cant stand the music.
see a black man coolin wit a mexican.
we can all have peace, the sun sets again.
they try to shove us in the pin.
but we clown and we frown every time we hit the top ten.
once again, its your friend outta oakland,hopin
to keep the hip hop clubs open.
now we can lay back and let them close'm
or we can have beef and show that we control'em.
now aint nobody gettin paid, its a damn shame
why gang bang brothas in the same gang?
they say securitys to blame, cause they lettin it off
brothas come to have fun but they settin it off
one time, make it worse when they sweat us
send an army of pigs to come get us.
now im runnin outta time and im cool down with the aztecs
this is sorta like soul food.
