Young Niggaz Lyrics - Me Against The World - 2pac

I wanna dedicate this one to Robert 'Yummy' Sanderford 

and all other lil' young niggaz that's in a rush to be gangstas 

As a young nigga, I'm almost swellin in the wind 

Give anythang, to be that innocent again, when I was ten 

I didn't bang but I was hangin with the homies 

tell them niggaz started slangin that they don't know me 

I got my hustle on, learned to ignore what couldn't pay me 

Lately I've been tryin to make a bill-ion, can you play me 

with that jealousy they need to miss me, don't sweat me 

If them cowards really want me, come get me, and even I 

someday will die but I'm cautious, I'm fin' to ride 

Put down the top, now we flossin 

Hit the freeway, let the wind blow, drop the window 

Workin with a twenty sack of indo, feelin good 

Stop through the hood, grab the young thugs 

And I can't help but reminisce back when we slung drugs, know it's bad 

but all we had was our hopes and dreams 

Couldn't see unless we learned to slang dope to fiends 

as young niggaz

Watch Will Smith perform to iconic song 'Prince Ali' from Aladdin 

He's the kind of G like everybody knows 

As a young nigga 

He's always G'd up, from head to toe 

My memories as a young nigga 

Always got it blown like Al Capone 

Young nigga 

He's the downest G I've ever known 

Back in Junior High, when we was barely gettin by, when daddy died 

That's when my momma started gettin high 

My neighborhood was full of drivebys, couldn't survive 

All our homies livin short lives, I couldn't cry 

Told my momma if I did die, just put a blunt in my casket 

let me get my dead homies high 

Come follow me throughout my history, it's just 

Me Against the World stuck in misery; as a young nigga 

My only thing was to be paid 

Life full of riches avoid snitched cause they shady, back in the days 

We always found the time to play, 

but that's before they taught them gangbangers how to spray 

Not just L.A., but in the Bay and in Chicago and even St. Louis 

Every stadium that I go, when will they change? 

Stuck in the game like a dumb nigga 

Remember how it was, to be a young nigga

He's the kind of G like everybody knows 

As a young nigga 

He's always G'd up, from head to toe 

My memories as a young nigga 

Always got it blown like Al Capone 

Young nigga 

He's the downest G I've ever known 

I'm tellin you. 

. to be young, have your brains and have every? and all that 

Yo, y'all niggaz don't know how good you really do got it 

Muh'fuckers need to just calm down 

and peep what the fuck they wanna do for the rest of the life 

'Fore you end your life before you BEGIN your life 

You dumb nigga 

Now that I'm grown, I got my mind on bein somethin 

Don't wanna be another statistic, out here doin nuttin 

Tryin to maintain in this dirty game, keep it real 

and I will even if it kills me, my young niggaz 

break away from these dumb niggaz 

Put down the guns and have some fun nigga, the rest'll come nigga 

Fame is a fast thang, that gangbangin 

puttin niggaz in a casket, murdered for hangin 

at the wrong place at the wrong time, no longer livin 

Cause he threw up the wrong sign, and every day 

I watch the murder rate increases, and even worse 

the epidemic and diseases, what is the future? 

The projects lookin hopeless, where 

more and more brothers givin up and don't care 

Sometimes I hate when brothers act up, I hit the weed 

and I proceed to blow the track up, for young niggaz 

He's the kind of G like everybody knows 

For these young niggaz 

He's always G'd up, from head to toe 

My memories as a young nigga 

He always got it blown like Al Capone 

Take it slow nigga, it's for the young niggaz 

He's the downest G I've ever known 

As a young nigga 

He's the kind of G like everybody knows 

He's always G'd up, from head to toe 

Memories as a young nigga 

He always got it blown like Al Capone 

He's the downest G I've ever known 

(Pac talking overlaps singing last four lines) 

This go out to the young thugs, the have-nots (you know) 

Little bad motherfuckers from the block (that's right) 

Them niggaz that's thirteen and fourteen 

Drivin Cadillacs, Benzes and shit (I see you boy) 

Young motherfuckin hustlers (make that money boy) 

Stay strong nigga 

You could be a fuckin accountant, not a dope dealer 

youknowhatI'msayin? (Go to school nigga, go to school) 

Fuck around and, you pimpin out here 

You could be a lawyer (really doe) 

Niggaz gotta get they priorities straight 

(Don't see Johnny Cochran out in this motherfucker) 

Really doe. young niggaz. little RahRah (sup nigga) 

Especially my little cousins don't be no dumb guy 

(Don't be a dumb nigga, listen, young niggaz)
