Tupac back, Tupac back 
There's all these bitches screaming that Tupac back 
All eyes on me, better Picture Me Rollin' 
Riding brand new rims, but them bitches is stolen 
Stranded on Death Row, Brenda having my baby 
But I'm stacking my paper, I need a brand new Mercedes 
They screaming Tupac back, Tupac back 
There's all these btiches screaming that Tupac back

Tupac back, I'm two glocks strapped 
Rolling down in Philly this the new Iraq 
Soon as I hit the the hood they screaming who got whacked 
It's a recession on the work, I'm screaming who got crack 
I'm sippin' Hennessy, riding on my motherfucking enemies 
Sliding in the back screamin MMG (Maybach Music) 
Ten bitches and they dime so it's Tennessee 
Hail Mary, put my wrist on froze 
Presidential is gold, nigga play with my money my shooter's lifting his soul 
Forty kick like in soccer, bullets hittin' the goal 
Bitch I'm like John Wall cause I just give em and go 
Plotting on this new seven, I can picture me rolling 
Pockets look like they pregnant because them bitches is swollen 
Got a grip I can loan, all them snitches could hold em 
Look at them motherfucking wheels, them bitches is stolen 
They screamin'

Tupac back, Tupac back 
There's all these bitches screaming that Tupac back 
All eyes on me, better Picture Me Rollin' 
Riding brand new rims, but them bitches is stolen 
Stranded on Death Row, Brenda having my baby 
But I'm stacking my paper, I need a brand new Mercedes 
They screaming Tupac back, Tupac back 
There's all these btiches screaming that Tupac back

Mommy a soldier, daddy is dead 
Catch the nigga that did it, and we gon' carry his head 
F*ck nine one one, tell 'em have him a bed
Talking Death Row records, tell em have me a chair 
Let it burn, I'm screaming free my nigga Earl
He's due in, no hesitation we can't even get a turn 
Got my Mackaveli CD then I listened than I learned 
Grabbed my Mac above the dresser, my OG's say hold it firm 
I'm dreaming spitting with Pac, talkin ciphers with BIG 
Try to send me upstate with the life as a bid
Had me scraping my wax, sleeping, my knife in the bed 
They got a nigga on point like there's a price on my head 
I'm going max, got me knocking suckers and they back 
In the cell, raising hell, tryna get back to the trap 
But don't ever get it twisted it's Meek Mill, we spittin' facts 
Plus somebody said they seen it and they mean it so they steady screaming 

Tupac back, Tupac back 
There's all these bitches screaming that Tupac back 
All eyes on me, better Picture Me Rollin' 
Riding brand new rims, but them bitches is stolen 
Stranded on Death Row, Brenda having my baby 
But I'm stacking my paper, I need a brand new Mercedes 
They screaming Tupac back, Tupac back 
There's all these btiches screaming that Tupac back
