| Rebel … rebel
|
| Rebel
|
| Rebel … rebel
|
| They just can’t stand the reign, or the occasional pain
|
| From a man like me, who goes against the grain
|
| Sometimes I do it in vain
|
| So with a little bass and treble
|
| Hey mister, it’s time for me to explain that I’m the rebel
|
| Cold as the devil
|
| Straight from the underground, the rebel, a lower level
|
| They came to see the maniac psychopath
|
| The critics heard of me, and the aftermath
|
| I don’t give a damn and it shows
|
| And when I do a stage show I wear street clothes
|
| So they all know me
|
| The lyrical lunatic, the maniac MC
|
| I give a shout out to your homies
|
| And maybe then, the critics’ll leave your boy alone, G
|
| On the streets or on TV
|
| It just don’t pay to be, a truth tellin' MC
|
| They won’t be happy 'til I’m banned
|
| The most dangerous weapon: an educated black man
|
| So point blank in your face
|
| Pump up the bass, and join the human race
|
| I throw peace to The Bay
|
| Cause from The Jungle to Oaktown, they backin' me up all the way
|
| You know you gotta love the sound
|
| It’s from the rebel — the rebel of the underground
|
| Rebel, he’s a rebel
|
| Rebel of the underground
|
| Rebel, he’s a rebel
|
| Rebel of the underground
|
| Rebel, he’s a rebel
|
| Rebel of the underground
|
| Rebel, he’s a rebel
|
| Rebel of the underground
|
| Now I’m face to face with the devils
|
| Cause they breedin' more rebels than the whole damn ghetto
|
| And police brutality
|
| Shit, it put you in the nip and call it technicality
|
| So you reap what you sow
|
| So reap the wrath of the rebel, jackin' 'em up once mo'
|
| Now the fox is in the henhouse
|
| Creepin' up on your daughter while you sleep I got her sneakin' out
|
| 2Pac ain’t nothin' nice, I’ll be nothin' how I wanna
|
| And doin' what I’m gonna
|
| Now I’m up to no good
|
| The mastermind of mischief movin' more than most could
|
| So sit and slip into the sound
|
| Peep the rebel — the rebel of the underground
|
| Rebel, he’s a rebel
|
| Rebel of the underground
|
| Rebel, he’s a rebel
|
| Rebel of the underground
|
| Rebel, he’s a rebel
|
| Rebel of the underground
|
| Rebel, he’s a rebel
|
| Rebel of the underground
|
| They say they hate me, they wanna hold me down
|
| I guess they scared of the rebel — the rebel of the underground
|
| But I never let it get me
|
| I just make another record 'bout the punks tryin' to sweat me
|
| In fact, they tryin' to keep me out
|
| Try to censor what I say
|
| Cause they don’t like what I’m talkin' 'bout
|
| So what’s wrong with the media today
|
| Got brothers sellin' out cause they greedy to get paid
|
| But me, I’m comin' from the soul
|
| And if it don’t go gold, my story still gettin' told
|
| And that way they can’t stop me
|
| And if it sells a couple of copies, the punks’ll try to copy
|
| It’s sloppy, don’t even try to
|
| I’m a slave to the rhythm, and I’m about to fly through
|
| So, yo, to the people in the ghetto
|
| When ya hear the bass flow, go ahead and let go
|
| Now everybody wanna gangbang
|
| They talkin' street slang, but the punks still can’t hang
|
| They makin' records 'bout violence
|
| But when it comes to the real, some brothers go silent
|
| It kinda make you wanna think about
|
| That ya gotta do some sellin' out, just to get your record out
|
| But 2Pacalypse is straight down
|
| So feel the wrath of the rebel — the rebel of the underground
|
| 2Pac is a rebel
|
| Rebel of the underground
|
| 2Pac is a rebel
|
| Rebel of the underground
|
| 2Pac is a rebel
|
| Rebel of the underground
|
| 2Pac is a rebel
|
| Rebel of the underground
|
| 2Pac is a rebel
|
