2Pac - Holla If Ya Hear Me Lyrics

Lyrics

Ahh yeah, uhh uhh
Holler if ya hear me, yeah

Here we go, turn it up, let's start
From block to block we snatchin' hearts and jackin' marks
And the punk police can't fade me
And maybe, we can have peace someday G

But right now I got my mind set up
I'm lookin' down the barrel number nine to get up
'Cause it's time to make the playback fat
To my brothers on the block, better stay strapped, Black

And accept no substitutes
I bring truth to the youth, tear the roof off the whole school
Oh no, I won't turn the other cheek
In case ya can't see us while we burn the other week

Now we got him in a smash, blast
How long will it last, 'til the po' gettin' mo' cash
Until then, raise up, tell my young black males, blaze up
Life's a mess don't stress, test

I'm givin' but be thankful that you're livin' blessed
Much love to my brothers in the pen
See ya when I free ya, if not, when they shove me in
Once again it's an all out scrap, keep your hands on ya gat
And now ya boys watch ya, Black

Because in the alleys, out in Cali I'm tell ya
Mess with the best and the vest couldn't help ya
Scream, if ya feel me, see it clear?
You're too near me

(Holler if ya hear me)
Tellin' you to hear it, the rebel
Tellin' you to hear it
(Holler if ya hear me)
Tellin' you to hear it, the rebel
Tellin' you to hear it
(Holler if ya hear me)
Tellin' you to hear it, the rebel
Tellin' you to hear it

Pump ya fists like this, holler if ya hear me
Pump, pump, if you're pissed
To the sell outs livin' it up
One way or another, you'll be givin' it up

Ooh, I guess 'cause I'm black born
I'm supposed to say peace
Sing songs and get capped on
But it's time for a new plan, bam
I'll be singin' like a one man clan

Here we go, turn it up, don't stop
To my homies on the block, gettin' dropped by cops
I'm still around for ya
Keepin' my sound underground for ya

And I'm throwin' a change up
Quayle, like you, never brought my name up
Now my homies in the blackstreets, the backstreets
They fill me when they rollin' in their fat jeeps

This ain't just a rap song or black song
Tellin' all my brothers keep their strap on
And look for me in the struggle
Hustlin' 'til other brothers bubble

(Holler if ya hear me)
Tellin' you to hear it, the rebel
Tellin' you to hear it
(Holler if ya hear me)
Tellin' you to hear it, the rebel
Tellin' you to hear it

(Holler if ya hear me)
Tellin' you to hear it, the rebel
Tellin' you to hear it
(Holler if ya hear me)
Tellin' you to hear it, the rebel
Tellin' you to hear it
(Holler if ya hear me)

Will I quit, will I quit? They claim that
I'm violent but still I keep representin'
Never give up on a good thing
Wouldn't stop it if we could, it's a hood thing

And now I'm like a major threat
'Cause I remind you of the things
You were made to forget

Bring the noise to all my boys
Know the real from the bustas and the decoys
And if ya hustle like a real G
Pump ya fists if ya feel me, holla if ya hear me

Learn to survive in the nine tre'
I make rhyme pay, others make crime pay
Whatever it takes to live and stand
'Cause nobody else'll give a damn

So we live like caged beasts
Waitin' for the day to let the rage free
Still me, till they kill me
I love it when they fear me

(Holler if ya hear me)
Tellin' you to hear it, the rebel
Tellin' you to hear it
(Holler if ya hear me)
Tellin' you to hear it, the rebel
Tellin' you to hear it

(Holler if ya hear me)
Tellin' you to hear it, the rebel
Tellin' you to hear it
(Holler if ya hear me)
Tellin' you to hear it, the rebel
Tellin' you to hear it

(Holler if ya hear me)
Tellin' you to hear it, the rebel
Tellin' you to hear it
(Holler if ya hear me)
Tellin' you to hear it, the rebel
Tellin' you to hear it

(Holler if ya hear me)
Tellin' you to hear it, the rebel
Tellin' you to hear it
(Holler if ya hear me)
Tellin' you to hear it, the rebel
Tellin' you to hear it

(Hard)
Tellin' you to hear it, the rebel
Tellin' you to hear it
(Hard)
Tellin' you to hear it, the rebel
Tellin' you to hear it

Hard, the rebel
Hard, the rebel
Hard, the rebel
...
