Holler If Ya Hear Me (Broadway Mix)
[Intro]
Aww yeah, uhh, uhh
Holla if ya hear me, yeah
[Verse 1]
Here we go, turn it up, let's start
From block to block we snatchin' hearts and jackin' marks
And the punk police can't fade me, and maybe
We can have peace someday, G
But right now I got my mind set up
Lookin' down the barrel of my nine, get up
'Cause it's time to make the payback fat
To my brothers on the block better stay strapped, black
And accept no substitutes
I bring truth to the youth, tear the roof off the whole school
Oh no, I won't turn the other cheek
In case ya can't see us while we burn the other week
Now we got a n***a smash, blast
How long will it last 'til the po' gettin' mo' cash
Until then, raise up!
Tell my young black males, blaze up!
Life's a mess don't stress, test
I'm givin' but be thankful that you're livin', blessed
Much love to my brothers in the pen
See ya when they free ya if not when they shove me in
Once again it's an all out scrap
Keep your hands on ya gat, and now ya boys watch ya back
Cause in the alleys out in Cali I'ma tell ya
Mess with the best and the vest couldn't help ya
Scream, if ya feel me; see it clearly?
You're too near me -
[Chorus]
Holler if ya hear me!
Holler if ya hear me!
Holler if ya hear me!
[Verse 2]
Pump ya fists like this
Holla if ya hear me
PUMP PUMP if you're pissed
To the sell-outs, livin' it up
One way or another you'll be givin' it up, huh
I guess cause I'm black born
I'm supposed to say peace, sing songs, and get capped on
But it's time for a new plan, BAM!
I'll be swingin' like a one man, clan
Here we go, turn it up, don't stop
To my homies on the block gettin' dropped by cops
I'm still around for ya
Keepin' my sound underground for ya
And I'ma throw a change up
Quayle ain't do nothing but blow my name up!
Now my homies in the back streets, the black streets
They feel me when they rollin' in they fat Jeeps
This ain't just a rap song, a black song
Tellin' all my brothers, get they strap on
And look for me in the struggle
Hustlin' 'til other brothers bubble -
[Chorus]
Holler if ya hear me!
Yeah, holler if ya hear me!
You're too near me to see it clearly
Holler if ya hear me!
[Verse 3]
Will I quit, will I quit?
They claim that I'm violent, but still I kick
Representin', never give up on a good thing
Wouldn't stop it if we could, it's a hood thing
And now I'm like a major threat
'Cause I remind you of the things you were made to forget
Bring the noise, to all my boys
Know the real from the bustas and the decoys
And if ya hustle like a real G
Pump ya fists if ya feel me, holla if ya hear me
Learn to survive in the nine-tre'
I make rhyme pay, others make crime pay
Whatever it takes to live and stand
'Cause nobody else'll give a damn
So we live like caged beasts
Waitin' for the day to let the rage free
Still me 'til they kill me
I love it when they fear me -
[Chorus]
Holler if ya hear me!
Holler if ya hear me!
Holler if ya hear me!
Holler if ya hear me!
You're too near me to see it clearly
Holler if ya hear me!
You're too near me to see it clearly
Holler if ya hear me!
You're too near me to see it clearly
Holler if ya hear me!
You're too near me to see it clearly
Holler if ya hear me!
I love it when they fear me
Holler if ya hear me!
I love it when they fear me
Holler if ya hear me!
Holler if ya hear me!
Holler if ya hear me!
Holler if ya hear me!
