This goes out to C. Delores Tucker, Bob Dole, anybody else that feels like, uh, they're stronger than the constitution. (That goddamn rap music, I hate that, it's just so violent. It... It destroys everybody, it... it makes the kids crazy.) Freedom of speech, baby. Freedom of speech. (The kids kill people, they're cop haters! They're going against society! I don't understand the music, it's too loud.) Outlawz (It's too loud, it's too rowdy, it's too violent. Let's ban all rap music.) Outlawz (Ban Tupac! Ban the Outlaw Immortalz.) Ban 'em.

You can't break me, never make me rap to softer beats/ This Outlaw style got a brother off the streets/ Miss Delores Tucker; sue me/ I won't stop 'till we get justice for these crooked cops on my block/ Time Warner full of sissy's, tell'em all to miss me; A bunch of hypocrits whistlin' dixy/ Good riddance 'cause you never should've touched me/ You cowards knew you couldn't take the pressure, I'm a make you sorry, trust me/ Did you cry when they dropped me? (Naw) Can they stop me?/ Tryin' to sell four million copies/ If I wasn't spittin' it'd be prison or death; This rap game' all we got left/ So try to comprehend what we comin' from/ Life as an Outlaw ain't meant for everyone/ So here we come, recognize how we organize, strategize/ Now we unified brothers on the rise and you can't stop it
-Layzie Bone-(2pac)-Chorus-
Y'all can't stop our music; Once the streets get a hold of the beats y'all cannot do it, do it (I mean) Y'all can't stop our music; You can see in the strings and keys, we have our music

(Hey yo') Why the fuck should I change for you industry lames? They said they aint playin' our record if they don't get paid/ It's all politics; Politicians polish ya' dick/ Bought you, but won't acknowledge your clique/ Born Outlaw; God put us here for this/ I pay taxes and I raise my kid, you can't tell me shit/ Who the fuck is you to judge us, bitch? Fuck the industry; The streets love us, bitch/ From Yonkers to Compton, they feelin' alone/ From ATL to the jail cell, we gon' ball with y'all help or not/ I melt your pot with the military mentality felt for 'Pac/ A big peace of my lonely heart left for Yak'/ Thug Life Outlaw, nigga, shit don't stop/ It all started from the streets, that's why we always gon' eat/ Outlaw 'till they bury me deep; We can't stop
-Layzie Bone-(2pac)-Chorus-

(A'ight) Nigga I'm icy like Arista/ Thinkin' like Elektra/ In the smoke like Interscope/ Wonderin' if they love us though/ Thuggin' like Amaru/ Def like Russo/ So So Def like Jermaine Dupri/ Death Row Records gave game to me/ Plus I'm Ruff Rydin' now, and it ain't hard to see/ Gotta give love to my DMC 'cause if it wasn't for DMC I wouldn't MC/ But y'all aint gon' stop this shit over here/ Keep 'em wonderin' like Big Syke and I don't care/ Plus, I Rap-A-Lot like that nigga J. Prince/ And y'all can't stop the checks, hittin' the fence/ My ancestors was mic checkers way before they knew what a record was/ And y'all can't stop what Allah gave us/ Spittin' the slugs before them AK's bust
