The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Damn son, Niggas stay doing it to us son,

you gone son, Niggas think its a coincidence,

niggas be stopping us before we even get started,

This is under attack baby, we going to ride though, watch us son.

Some say the Government will watch me

But they can't stop me

I'm droppin' evil with the people as my posse

Some say the Government will watch me

But they can't stop me

I'm droppin' evil with the people as my posse

Yo uh yea, see the lying in my eyes when I'm coming for the get back,

big mac, cock gunfire, hot tires they burning, they got us all dieing and burning,

they lieing to destroy our earth, little birth diseases, 30 millionth church for Jesus

and still our young eating out cans, chiefing grams and weapons,

I sold my first swam at seven,

A smidget after first grade, shirt sprayed with talents,

you made us hurt make the balance.

Instead of preaching violence and fear, Silenced shares we moving,

The evil go ahead a movement

Or share me the spiritual form, hear a song rebellion,

we gathered up the strong and felons,

The youth and all the poverty strain and were all the poverty dwelling,

The story that the pottery telling

You find all in potter's field or the government files.

Some say the Government will watch me

But they can't stop me

I'm droppin' evil with the people as my posse

Some say the Government will watch me

But they can't stop me

I'm droppin' evil with the people as my posse

Some say the Government will watch me

But they can't stop me

I'm droppin' evil with the people as my posse

Some say the Government will watch me

But they can't stop me

I'm droppin' evil with the people as my posse

Dave Duke sure look cute in that black suit Oooohhh

But even cuter behind the barrel of my six shooter Oh

You look worried cause I ain't burried

Punks leave in a hurry cause I throw flurries making mothafuckas, scurry

Come feel the flavor from my single

And brain cell's tingle I'm feeling stronger than a fuckin mad Dingo

and uh How's that for black history?

I stay strapped, and love to jack those that slang that crack misery Ha

Cause being a nigga means you love niggas

But how could you love niggas if you trying drug niggas?

You motherfuckas need your caps peeled

Cause when blacks kill blacks we stay trapped and thats, real

And we don't need no more statistic's

It's time to get more realistic for the young the black and the gifted

And uh

Until my people get uplifted

There's no popping shit, just popping clips instead of marching we gon' rip

Shit.

Some say the Government will watch me

But they can't stop me

I'm droppin' evil with the people as my posse

Some say the Government will watch me

But they can't stop me

I'm droppin' evil with the people as my posse

Some say the Government will watch me

But they can't stop me

I'm droppin' evil with the people as my posse

Some say the Government will watch me

But they can't stop me

I'm droppin' evil with the people as my posse

yo whoever shot tupac amaru shakur

will forever be a dead man laying on the floor

revolutionary thug shit dieing for every young poor black mother

in the middle of the ghetto

we never had a chance to appreciate life

the government got a plan to eliminate the life

of every black soul on the slavery land

and oppositions we abolishing a slavery plan,

pay attention every serious political band

got a division full of killers imperial scams

they wanna kill us all off and incarcerate

the family of anyone opposing the war

They want us all to appreciate death and believe up

in the white god praying to the heavens above.

Ima never let a devil come separate the adamic covenant,

The potter's field criminals coming for the government.
