[Chorus: 2Pac]

It's just me against the world

Nothin' to lose

It's just me against the world, baby

I got nothin' to lose

It's just me against the world

Stuck in the game

Me against the world, baby


[Verse 1: 2Pac]

Can you picture my prophecy? Stress in the city, the cops is hot for me

The projects is full of bullets though bodies is droppin' there ain't no stoppin' me

Constantly movin' while makin' millions

Witnessin' killings, leavin' dead bodies in abandoned buildings

Can't reach the children, 'cause they're illin'

Addicted to killin' and the appeal from the cap peelin'

Without feelin', but will they last or be blasted?

Hard-headed bastard, maybe he'll listen in his casket, the aftermath

More bodies bein' buried

I'm losin' my homies in a hurry, they're relocatin' to the cemetery

Got me worried, stressin', my vision's blurry

The question is will I live, no one in the world loves me

I'm headed for danger, don't trust strangers

Put one in the chamber whenever I'm feelin' this anger

Don't wanna make excuses 'cause this is how it is, what's the use?

Unless we're shootin', no one notices the youth

It's just me against the world, baby

[Chorus: 2Pac & Puff Johnson]

Me against the world

It's just me against the world

It's just me against the world

Me against the world

'Cause it's just me against the world, baby (Hey)

Me against the world (Ooh yeah)

I got nothin' to lose

It's just me against the world, baby

I got nothin' to lose


[Verse 2: Yaki Kadafi]

Could somebody help me? I'm out here all by myself, see

Ladies in stores, Baby Capone's, livin' wealthy

Pictures of my birth on this Earth is what I'm dreamin'

Seein' Daddy's semen, full of crooked demons already crazy and screamin'

I guess them nightmares as a child

Had me scared but left me prepared for a while

Is there another route for a crooked Outlaw?

Veteran, a villain, a young thug, who one day shall fall


[Verse 3: E.D.I. Mean]

Everyday there's mo' death, and plus I'm dough-less, I'm seein' more reasons for me to proceed with thievin'

Cheme on the schemin' and leave they peeps grievin'

'Cause ain't no bucks to stack up

My nuts is backed up, I'm about to act up

Go load the MAC up, now watch me klacka

Tried makin' fat cuts, but yo, it ain't workin'

And evil's lurkin', I can see him smirkin' when I gets to pervin'

So what? Go put some work in and make my mail

Makin' sales, riskin' 25 with a L, but oh well

[Chorus: 2Pac & Puff Johnson]

Me against the world

With nothin' to lose (Ooh yeah)

It's just me against the world

It's just me against the world, baby

Me against the world

I got nothin' to lose

It's just me against the world

It's just me against the world, baby

With nothin' to lose

It's just me against the world, baby

Me against the world

Me against the world

I got nothin' to lose

It's just me against the world, baby (hehe)


[Verse 4: 2Pac]

With all this extra stressin', the question I wonder is after death, after my last breath

When will I finally get to rest through this oppression?

They punish the people that's askin' questions

And those that possess steal from the ones without possessions

The message I stress: to make it stop, study your lessons

Don't settle for less, even the genius asks his questions

Be grateful for blessings, don't ever change, keep your essence

The power is in the people and politics we address

Always do your best, don't let this pressure make you panic

And when you get stranded and things don't go the way you planned it

Dreamin' of riches, in a position of makin' a difference

Politicians are hypocrites, they don't wanna listen

If I'm insane, it's the fame made a brother change

It wasn't nothin' like the game; it's just me against the world

[Chorus: 2Pac & Puff Johnson]

Me against the world

Nothin' to lose

It's just me against the world, baby

Me against the world

Got me stuck in the game (Ooh yeah)

It's just me against the world

Nothin' to lose

It's just me against the world, baby

Me against the world

[Outro: 2Pac & Puff Johnson]

Hahaha, that's right

I know it seem hard sometimes

But, uh, remember one thing

Through every dark night, there's a bright day after that

So no matter how hard it get

Stick your chest out, keep your head up, and handle it

Me against the world

Me against the world

Me against the world
