2Pac Makaveli Against All Odds Lyrics

One love... one love... one thug
One nation... twenty-one gun salute

Chorus:

I'm hopin my true m________az know
This be the realest s___ I ever wrote
Against all odds, up in the studio, gettin blowed
To the truest s___ I ever spoke

Verse One:

21 gun salute, dressed in fatigue, black jeans and boots
Dissapeared in the c___, all you seen was troops
This little n____ named Nas thinks he live like me
Talkin bout how he left the hospital took five like me
You living fanatasies, n____ I reject your deposit
We shook Dre punk a__, now we out of the closet
Mobb Deep wonder why n____ blowed them out
Next time grown folks talk, n____ close your mouths
Peep me, I take this war s___ deeply
I see too many real playas fall to let these b____ n____z to beat me
Puffy, lets be honest you a punk
or you gonna see me with gloves
Remember that s___ you said in vibe about me being a Thug
You can tell the people you roll with whatever you want
But, you and I know what's going on
Pay back I knew you b____ n____z from way back
Witness me strapped with macs knew I wouldn't play that
All you old rappers trying to advance
It's all over now, take it like a man
n____s looking like, Larry Holmes flabby and s___
Trying to playa hate on my s___, you eat a fat d___
Let it be known this is how you made me
Love it how I got you n____z goin crazy, against all odds

Chorus 2X

Verse Two:

I heard he was light skined, stocky with a haitian accent
Jewelry, fast cars and he's known for flashing (what's his name)
Listen while I take you back and lace this rap
A real live tale, about a snitch named Haitian Jack
Knew he was working for the feds, same crime different trail
n____s picture what he said, and did I mention
Promised a payback, Jimmy Henchmen, in due time
I knew you b____ n____z was listening, The World is Mine
Set me up, wet me up, n____z stuck me up
Heard the guns bust, but you tricks never shut me up
Touch one of mine on everything I own
I'll destroy everything you touch, play the game n____
All out warfare, Eye For An Eye
Last words to a b____ n____, why you lie?
Now you gotta watch your back n____, watch your front
Here we come gunshots to deck, now you stuck
f___ the rap game n____, n____ This M.O.B
So believe me, we enemies, I go, against all odds

Chorus 2X

Verse Three:

Puffy gettin robbed like a b____, to hide that fact
He did some s___ he shouldn't have did
So we ride em for that
And that n____ that was down for me
Restin dead, switch sides
Guess his new friends want him dead
Probably be murdered for the s___ that I said
I bring the real, be a legend or even the dead
Lord listen to me
God don't like ugly It Was Written
Hey Nas your whole d___ style is weak
You heard my melody, read about my life in the papers
All my run-in with authorities, felonious capers
Now you want to live my life, so what's the deal
n____z that don't ride right
You've seen too many movies
Load 'em up against the wall, close his eyes
Since you lie, you die, goodbye
Let the real life n____z hear the truth from me
What would you do if you was me (n____), against all odds

Chorus 2X

Against all odds
