[Verse 1: 2Pac]
How many✦ suckas✦ wanna✦ see me
Jealous,✦ 'cause they peepin'✦ me on TV
Mad, 'cause they bitches✦ wanna✦ G me
Now take it easy,✦ it ain't my fault to see a hooker✦
You should've shook her, don't playahate me when I took her
Life of a crook, look at them thug niggas✦ ballin'✦ y'all
I got ya hoochies✦ full of liquor, fuckin'✦ all of y'all
And my, name! Will be synonymous✦ with spittin' game
Slangin' 'caine, it ain't the same, niggas✦ better✦ change
Them three-strikes will have ya stretched fo' life
To get arrested twice, the third time fo' life
And I, don't think you understand me G
That penitentiary time just ain't the plan for me
I got a new thang wit' ya papers and do thangs
Niggas✦ ain't followin' ya true game
'Cause if they was, they wouldn't be runnin'✦ for they trunk
Every✦ time that it's time for funk
Mothafucka throw yo' hands up
[Hook: 2Pac, Killa, Moe ZMD & Ronnie Love]
Leave the guns and the knives✦ at home
Don't be a punk-ass✦ nigga✦ when the time is on
Throw ya hands (Just throw ya hands up)
Throw ya hands up in the air (Get 'em up, come on)
Throw ya hands up
Leave the guns and the knives✦ at home
Don't be a punk-ass✦ nigga✦ when the time is on
(We no punk, ya little trick ass nigga,✦ come on)
Throw ya hands up (Just throw ya hands up)
Throw ya hands up (Get 'em up)
[Verse 2: 2Pac]
Could it be, that controversy was my destiny
I let my anger✦ get the best of me
Everywhere we hang it's the same thang
In '95 you can die if ya gang bang
You could survive, gettin'✦ high like a true G
Can't close my eyes 'cause these cowards wanna✦ do me
And sue me I've been hustlin' since day one
Out on the block and never✦ stop until my pay come
But nowadays It's like bang, bang, duck quick
I guess you dookies✦ tough shit, 'cause you bust clips
But suck dick, 'cause a kid got his cap peeled✦
The rap deal full of phonies✦ who pack steel
And act ill, everybody wanna✦ act hard
I swear to god, It's the season✦ to pull a nigga✦ card
You fuckin'✦ frauds, can't handle business like a soldier✦
Bet you petrified to throw it from the shoulders✦
Nigga,✦ now throw your hands up
[Hook: 2Pac Killa, Moe ZMD & Ronnie Love]
Leave the guns and the knives✦ at home
Don't be a punk-ass✦ nigga✦ when the time is on
Throw ya hands up
Throw ya hands up (What you scared✦ of, nigga?✦ What you goin' for the trunk man? What!)
Get 'em up, come on (Throw ya hands up)
Leave the guns and the knives✦ at home
(Sucka✦ ass)
Don't be a punk-ass✦ nigga✦ when the time is on (I knew he was gon' be punk ass)
(Throw ya hands up) throw ya hands up
Just throw ya hands up
(Nigga✦ don't want nothing, he got a little trick to listen)✦
Get 'em up
[Verse 3: 2Pac]
Last year mothafuckas✦ tried to bury✦ me deep
I had a beef in every✦ city,✦ screamin' fuck the police✦
Couldn't sleep, I'm havin'✦ thoughts 'bout the baddest bitches✦
Picture me mobbin'✦ in a rag with switches✦
Fuck snitch, I let a trick be a trick
When he sippin'✦ leave 'em sleepin' in the middle of the streets while I'm pimpin'✦
You can throw a sign, but I'm blind to that punk shit
Runnin'✦ with some real motherfuckers and we run shit
Fuck the dumb shit, I ain't stoppin' it's a high speed
Rollin'✦ on the 405, puffin'✦ Thai weed
I'm shiftin' gears, then I disappear
Listen✦ here, If they take me alive✦ I'm doin' years, but still no fear 'Cause I don't think that they can catch me
This 350 will put the bitches✦ right in back of me
They won't jack me
And just when I thought I passed✦
Fucked✦ around and went low on gas
All I heard was "Throw ya hands up"
[Hook: 2Pac, Killa, Moe ZMD & Ronnie Love]
Leave ya guns and ya knives✦ at home (Damn)
Don't be a punk-ass✦ nigga✦ when the time is on (Shift too, shit)
Throw ya hands up
Throw ya hands up, get 'em up, come on (Throw ya hands, get 'em up)
Leave ya guns and ya knives✦ at home
(Hey don't shoot nigga,✦ I got my hands up, don't shoot)
Don't be a punk-ass✦ nigga✦ when the time is on
Throw ya hands up
Throw ya hands up
(Don't shoot, my hands up, I'm comin'✦ out the car now)
Get 'em up
Throw ya hands up
[Outro: 2Pac]
All y'all niggas✦ out there thinkin' y'all really✦ like you know
Tearin'✦ shit up, ya really✦ ain't bro
You only✦ sendin'✦ the police✦ to the blocks faster✦
Soon as niggas✦ gon' be comin'✦ wit' army✦ tanks and shit
Just mowin'✦ niggas✦ down
Plus half you mothafuckas✦ can't shoot no one
Put the mothafuckin'✦ guns down
Nigga✦ let's take it from the shoulders✦
If you a real mothafuckin'✦ soldier✦
[Hook: Killa, Moe ZMD & Ronnie Love]
Leave the guns and the knives✦ at home
Don't be a punk-ass✦ nigga✦ when the time is on
Throw ya hands
(Just throw ya hands up, get 'em up, come on)
Leave the guns and the knives✦ at home
Don't be a punk-ass✦ nigga✦ when the time is on
Throw ya hands
(Just throw ya hands up, get 'em up) throw ya hands up
Leave the guns and the knives✦ at home
Don't be a punk-ass✦ nigga✦ when the time is on
Throw ya hands
(Just throw ya hands up, get 'em up, come on)
Leave the guns and the knives✦ at home
Don't be a punk-ass✦ nigga✦ when the time is on
Throw ya hands
(Just throw ya hands up, get 'em up)
Oh, we don't need no gat
We don't have to go out like that
Just throw ya mothafuckin'✦ hands in the air
We don't need no gat
We don't have to go out like that
Just throw ya mothafuckin'✦ hands in the air
Come on!!
Throw ya hands in the air
Wave 'em like you just don't care
Oooooh yea..
And ain't no thang about✦ to pump
Just throw ya hands in the air
