[Tupac Talking]

They cuttin off welfare

Think they crime is risin' now

You got whites killin blacks

Cops killin blacks

And blacks killin blacks

Shit just gonna get worse

They just gonna become souljas

Straight souljas



Chorus

All you wanted ta be, a soulja, a soulja

All you wanted ta be, a soulja, like me

All you wanted ta be, a soulja, a soulja

All you wanted ta be, a soulja, like me



All you wanted ta be, a soulja, a soulja

All you wanted ta be, a soulja, a soulja

All you wanted ta be, a soulja, a soulja

All you wanted ta be, a soulja, like me



Crack done took apart of our family tree

my momma's on tha shit, my dadies splitten, mom's steady blaming me

is it my fault, just cause i'm a young black male

cop sweat me as if my destiny is makin' crack sells

only 15 and got problems

cops on my tail, so I bail till I dodge 'em

they finally pull me over and I laugh

remember Rodney King and I blast on his punk ass

now I gotta murder case

you speak a' Heaven punk, I never heard of tha place

what is it ta come up fast, got a Uz and a black mask

drop tha fuckin task, now who's tha jack ass

keep my shit cocked, cause tha cops got a glock too

what tha fuck would you do

drop them or let 'em drop you

I chose droppin' tha cop

I got me a glock, and a glock for tha niggas on my block

4 of'em tried ta stab me, I moved out

sold a pound a weed, made g's, bought a new house

i'm only 17, I'm tha new kid

I got me a crew, bought'em jewels, and a uzi

but all good things don't last

task came fast, and busted my black ass

coolen in tha pen, where tha goods kept

now my little brother wants ta follow in my footsteps-acapo
