[Hook: Jazze Pha]
You do me
And if it's worth it baby,✦ I'll return✦ the favor✦
And give it back to you (give it to you, give it to you)
A fair exchange,✦ on everythang✦
And Let me tell you that's the way it's gotta✦ be
Open✦ your eyes baby,✦ recognize✦ a player
Give it up to me (give it to me give it to me)
A fair exchange,✦ you know the game
We can do the damn thang, thang, thang
[Verse 2]
Open✦ your legs
Got me marchin' like it’s a million,✦ you tremble from the feelin'✦
Look up, 'cause I got mirrors on the ceilin'✦
And if you willin',✦ then we can ride until✦ the sun shine
And just for fun, I betchu✦ I can make you cum 61 times✦
Close your eyes, let me heat it up
'Cause when we fuck I refuse✦ to bust a nut until✦ I beat it up
Drop the top, time to fuck while the wind blow
Baby✦ throw yo' legs out the window✦
Remember✦ on the balcony, bend over✦ baby✦ bounce on me
And let me hit it where it counts and flee
Remember✦ me? "I Get Around,"✦ and I'm haunted by my "Temptations"
Sexual participation,✦ my motivation✦
Even✦ though I like the way you work it
You don't deserve it 'cause you walk around✦ actin'✦ like you perfect
Took a while but I finally got it, and like a boss player
Bitch you ain't doin' me no favors, fair exchange✦
[Hook: Jazze Pha]
You do me
And if it's worth it baby,✦ I'll return✦ the favor✦
And give it back to you (give it to you, give it to you)
A fair exchange,✦ on everythang✦
And Let me tell you that's the way it's gotta✦ be
Open✦ your eyes baby,✦ recognize✦ a player
Give it up to me (give it to me, give it to me)
A fair exchange,✦ you know the game
We can do the damn thang, thang, thang
[Verse 3]
Now yo' attitude ain't realistic
Yeah it's true I'm gettin'✦ pussy,✦ but baby✦ you gettin'✦ dick!
And since you bein' laced✦ with the penetration✦
It's only✦ right to show a form of appreciation✦
Instead of fakin'✦ like you can't hear the bed shakin'✦
In bed naked✦ you so twisted think yo' legs breakin'
You said "take it" so I'm blind in my passion,✦ how long will I last?
Doggy✦ style steady✦ pumpin'✦ on that ass, until✦ I blast
And then I laugh as we lay back
See I wait 'til you asleep and that's the payback
'Cause you actin'✦ like you did somethin', givin'✦ me a piece
I had you mufflin' your screams in the sheets, fuckin'✦ with me
A true digger✦ that love triggers, a thug nigga✦
Hustlin' bitches like drug dealers
Before✦ I say goodbye, put an end to all the games✦
Here's✦ my number✦ for another fair exchange✦
[Hook: Jazze Pha]
You do me
And if it's worth it baby,✦ I'll return✦ the favor✦
And give it back to you (give it to you, give it to you)
A fair exchange,✦ on everythang✦
And Let me tell you that's the way it's gotta✦ be
Open✦ your eyes baby,✦ recognize✦ a player
Give it up to me (give it to me, give it to me)
A fair exchange,✦ you know the game
We can do the damn
You do me
And if it's worth it baby,✦ I'll return✦ the favor✦
And give it back to you (give it to you, give it to you)
A fair exchange,✦ on everythang✦
And Let me tell you that's the way it's gotta✦ be
Open✦ your eyes baby,✦ recognize✦ a player
Give it up to me (give it to me, give it to me)
A fair exchange,✦ you know the game
We can do the damn thang, thang, thang

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

2Pac utilizes a high-octane, rhythmic delivery to maintain momentum through a series of sexual vignettes, prioritizing cadence and internal rhyme patterns over complex linguistic layering.

Delivery
Multisyllabic internal rhymingCadence-driven momentumDirect self-referential allusionsRhythmic enjambment
Rhyme Architecture: Highly dense internal structure with heavy reliance on multi-syllabic sound clusters (e.g., 'million/feelin/ceilin/willin'), creating a forward-pressing rhythmic wall.
Verified Doubles & Entendres

"I Get Around, and I'm haunted by my Temptations"

① A direct reference to the titles of 2Pac's previous hit singles.② A metaphorical assertion that his past artistic output (his 'temptations') remains a recurring theme or 'ghost' that defines his current persona.

Exceptional rhythmic placement of rhyme pockets

High intensity and command of the track's tempo

Strong consistency in maintaining the 90s G-Funk aesthetic

Fluid integration of internal rhymes without sacrificing the listener's engagement

Wordplay is functional rather than layered or intellectual

Lack of complex metaphorical expansion outside of explicit sexual imagery

Repetitive thematic content limits the potential for sophisticated entendre
