Lyrics

Scared Straight

[Intro]

Fuck all these motherfucker's talking all this old bullshit

Like niggas just gonna accept that old trash ass shit

We ain't having none of this old shit

These niggas about to come up straight short

'Cause we about to get buck wild on you motherfucker's

[Verse 1]

Prepare for the wrath, a psychopath when this song play

Get iller than Johnny Gill, then rub you the wrong way

Fuck sensitivity, I get cruel when you're doin' me

'Cause none of the rough stuff, bitch, stop pursuin' me

So true to the game, it's a name you don't dare say

A lyrical lunatic, when I kick it, you're scared straight

Motherfuckers fall pray to the roster

You step any closer and get hit with a dose of

The iller-fied pimping-ass gang to bang to

And I ain't ashamed to, get wicked with slang too

Niggas know, when I flow, I can give you mo'

Get sicker than psycho, and won't let the mic go

'Til I hear the whole crowd on they two feet

As I go through new beats, I'm running through MCs

Nigga please you dizzy, you can't take me

You stumble through break beats but you'll never faze me

Scared straight 'cause you hate, when I motivate

You suffer a different fate, with music I mutilate

But some of the super suckers try to stop me

I'm gunnin' and runnin' the stupid motherfuckers now they jock me

What if I should trip? Or chill and give 'em a fair break?

Fuck it, they feel the wrath of a motherfucker scared straight

[Chorus]

You scared, motherfucker? You scared?

I know you scared, motherfucker, you scared (Ah, yeah, scared straight)

'Cause I can hear your heart beatin', heavy breathin'

I can see the sweat tricklin' from your head

You scared, motherfucker? You scared?

I know you scared, motherfucker, you scared (When your heart's beatin')

'Cause I can hear your heart beatin', heavy breathin'

I can see the sweat tricklin' from your head

[Verse 2]

Feel the 'Fever In The Funk House' buster you'll get rolled on

No matter how much they bring, I duck and dodge and hold on

Best a watch the swing

Nigga, the game is so strong, catch me by surprise

You won't realize your ho's gone

Nigga, I'm on the creep

And if I know your address, girl's as good as stuck

She's eating my Mr. Badness, Pac don't give a fuck

I got too many enemies

Fucking with the ginger juice, the booze of fuckin' Hennessy

The closer they can get

But still don't let them see me sweat, suckers ain't tryin' to step

They know they'll be breathin' they last breath

Niggas ain't got no heart, but swear that they be rockin' shit

'Til they get a load of the bold ass 2Pacalypse

Tell them to bring the noise, and look like they wanna rift

Brother, this ain't a game, a crook's what's you're fuckin' with

Hittin' him with the flurry, I'll bury him if he steps to me

Suckers can't get next to me, trippin' off some Ecstasy

Literal life insanity, even a form of suicide

This ain't BBD, try doing me, you'll do or die

Attackin' them like a Mack, and smackin' 'em like a weak bitch

Nigga, don't even twitch

'Cause them I'ma have to pull the switch

Victory to the swift, so fuck 'em if they, try to break

Freakin' 'em with the funk left them drunk

Hella scared straight

Hell yeah

Scared straight

[Chorus]

You scared, motherfucker? You scared?

I know you scared, motherfucker, you scared

'Cause I can hear your heart beating, heavy breathing

I can see the sweat trickling from your head

You scared, motherfucker? You scared?

I know you scared, motherfucker, you scared

'Cause I can hear your heart beating, heavy breathing

I can see the sweat trickling from your head

You scared, motherfucker? You scared?

I know you scared, motherfucker, you scared

'Cause I can hear your heart beating, heavy breathing

I can see the sweat trickling from your head

You scared, motherfucker? You scared?

I know you scared, motherfucker, you scared

'Cause I can hear your heart beating, heavy breathing

I can see the sweat trickling from your head

[Outro]

This 2Pacalypse in this motherfucker

And I'm scared straight

My motherfucker partners in the house
