[2Pac]
Yes I am gonna say that I'm a thug
That's because I came from the gutter and I'm still here

[Hook]
Everybody go & put your hands up high
Put your hands up high
Put your hands up high
Gang signs up in the sky
Gang signs up in the sky
Everybody go & put your hands up high
Put your hands up high
Put your hands up high
Gang signs up in the sky
Gang signs up in the sky

[Verse 1]
E's up, yup better get it right
Higher than the fever that you get when you get a bite
My life's on the edge, like the line on your forehead
Give a fuck I'll use a butter knife to get more bread
Time's up, time's rough, but I couldn't get enough
See what flashes your eyes boy when you're getting stuck
Who's what? whose who?, who's there? who's not?
You will find out who is real when you get caught
Play smart, have heart, be about your money
Keep it gutter muthafucker and keep it 1 hundred
Real recognize real, fuck how you get meals
If this 9 to 5 don't work then it's back to drug deal
Gotta get the cheddar, gotta get the cheddar
Gotta get the cash uhh, even if it's illegal
Knock on the door got me starrin' at my peak hole
They can try and find it, it's stashed up my cheeks though
