Guess who's backÂ… G-G-Guess who's back
G-G-Guess who's backÂ… G-G-Guess who's back
Everywhere I see, a soulja a soulja
Everywhere I see, a soulja like me
Everywhere I see, a soulja a soulja
Everywhere I see, a soulja like me
Everywhere I see, a soulja a soulja
Everywhere I see, a soulja like me
Everywhere I see, a soulja a soulja
Everywhere I see, a soulja like me
[Verse 1:Tupac]
Posse deep as I roll through the streets
Motherfuck the police as we creep in our Jeeps
Layin so low you think I'm sleep
But at the slightest beef, I'm robbin' niggaz sold they teeth
And no P.D can get the dick if they play toughie
Last time the niggaz rushed me I ain't bust but now I'm touchy
Trust me, ain't nothing jumping but these buckshots
And niggaz got enough knots at poppin at corrupt cops
Ten motherfuckaz catch a hot one
You wanted to start a problem, now you coward cops have got one
And there's no prison that can hold a
Motherfuckin' souljah ready to roll and take control
So now jack him while he's sleepin
Roll to the door, throw a grenade in the precinct
some people panic, brothaz bugged out
I had to keep poppin' cause they wont stop until they rubbed out
And their vest don't protect from the head wounds
Reload ammunitions and the bitches will be dead soon
Smoke risin' from the barrel of my shottie
I finally got revenge now count the bodies
Twenty cops, one for every year in jail
Trying to keep a nigga down but ya failed
Before I let you take me I told ya
Fuck being trapped, I'm a soulja
[Chorus: Eminem]
I betcha that I got something you aint got, that's called courage
It don't come from no liquor bottle, it aint scotch, it's not bourbon
I don't walk around like no G, cuz that aint me, I'm not that person
I don't try to act like you do, cuz that aint you, you just frontin
You aintÂ…
[Verse 2:Tupac]
My crew, 2Pac, and the Mad Bitch
In the '64 rag on them thangs that's a bad bitch
Gettin' ghost on them bitches in the town
Bustin' out the backseat nigga when we clown
Homie is you down?
Dee got the strap and she anxious
Hurry up before she spanks shit
Comin' round the corner spittin' rounds
They can't hold me down
Caught them sucka ass bitches outta bounds
Now tell me how that sound
A double date laced with hate
Make em pray for the judgment day
Now tell me how that sound
A double date laced with hate
Make em pray for the judgment day
Stinkin' biaatch!!
[Chorus: Eminem]
I betcha that I got something you aint got, that's called courage
It don't come from no liquor bottle, it aint scotch, it's not bourbon
I don't walk around like no G, cuz that aint me, I'm not that person
I don't try to act like you do, cuz that aint you, you just frontin
You aintÂ… {Tupac}
[Outro:Tupac]
Everywhere I see, a soulja a soulja
Everywhere I see, a soulja like me
Everywhere I see, a soulja a soulja
Everywhere I see, a soulja like me
Everywhere I see, a soulja a soulja
Everywhere I see, a soulja like me
Everywhere I see, a soulja a soulja
Everywhere I see, a soulja like me
Everywhere I see, a soulja a soulja
Everywhere I see, a soulja like me
