2Pac 1 In 21[Australian Version]

1.Case Of The Misplaced Mic

They finally did it (what's that？) they stole the mic i grip
Now that it's gone (what's wrong？) i'm feelin' tired and sick
(how did they do it？) i don't know i wasn't sleepin' that long
When i woke up (what happened brother？)
My microphone was gone
At first i panicked (how？) i put the cops on the case
But they were stuck (damm？) without a clue or a trace
So sure as smokin' cigarettes is bad for your health
If i want my microphone back i'll find it myself
So i picked up the phone (for what？)
I called dizzy
Dizzy： what's up？
My mic is gone
Dizzy： word？
Let's get busy
Before i could tell dizzy what i wanted to do
He was over at my house with the tms crew
He said
Dizzy： word is out in every mouth
In the street now that your mic is gone
It's not long yill your beatand then it hit me (damm)
I got a battle at six
Without my microphone i'm guaranteed to get whipped
U might think it's unbelivable but word to the strenght
When it comes to rockin' rhymes i'm a musical nymph
They gave me other mics but yo it wasn't no use
I tried to rock one two one two
But i couldn't get loose i said forget it
My microphone or not i gotta do it
Give it all that i go (what if u loose？) it be the first time i
lost
But if i beat ＆em i'll finally prove i'm the boss
I grabbed my leather jacket walked through the streets
Suckers was hopin' and preyin strictly dope would get beat
I begin to get hyped i was ready to fight
Yo i was confident that i'd win
To hell with the mic
I hopped up to the stage dizzy started the beat
Suckers shivered cause he tasted defeat
Then i signaled to dizzy bust a rhyme off my head
Perpetrator fell back (huh？) and then he was dead
I was happy as hell cause i was lucky that nite
Put my hand in my pocket and there was my mic
The case of the misplaced mic
Strictly dope in the house


2.My Burnin' Heart

Tupac：

I lay awake tonite
Because i wanna be with u
If u were beside me i'd playfully kiss u
Each time i see u the feeling gets stronger
U sit with me closer we stare a lot longer
Reach for my drink and for a second we touch
Words r muttered i stutter
Cause i want u taht much
The situation is a no win
Cause he's my best friend
But now i'm guilty
I'm fallin' for his girlfriend
I know it's wrong but my heart is filled with purity
I offer passion but he offers security
It's like a trap that i'm sinkin' into
I wake up sweaty when i'm thinkin' of u
Then we make our contact
And i can't hold back
I try to shake it but the feeling comes right back
What have i gotten into
I feel possessed by u
I have these thought at nite of undressin' u
It's kinda obvious blind men might see
But he doesn't so he keps on trustin me
Leaves me alone with u when he's on vacation
But how could he leave me with this temptation
What do i do go or stay and play it smart
It's gettin' rougher cause i suffer from a burnin' heart
My burnin' heart

Ray：

Girl u r my one and only
U r my angel and now u wanna leave me lonely
What did i do baby did i treat u bad？
My heart is broken and now u wanna make me sad
I remember when this love affair first started
We were so in love and now we are departed
Girl i'll buy anything your heart desires
I have to let u know baby your my fire
Warm and wet each kiss i prolonged
It's your sweet caress that makes life too strong
Just being with u and see the two of us
Walking along the beach u know u r my peach
So sweet and my love i surrender
No need to pretend that u want it to end
I'll neva let u go your foreva my girl
U know why？
Cause girl u r my world
My burnin' heart

Tupac：

Totally tongue tied every few seconds i keep watchin' u
He's my best friend but i can't help clockin' u
How could this be how could we both love u
Now i'm trapped in this position and don't know whta to do
I could forget about u pretend taht we neva met
But when i hear bout u i start to heavily sweat
U give me looks to reinforce thoughts
That r already there
So many times my eyes r caught up in a passanger stare
Play the role like u don't matter
He swears taht we hate eachotha
Your my addiction cause i fiend for u desperately
Stand here fantasizing cause you're next to me
What can i do with this passion i feel
It's too hard to conceal so i know it's for real
Watched u so many times where every curve is
I think he reads my mind so i'm feelin nervous
I wanna tell u how i feel but that wouldn't help
I would only cause problems so i keep to myself
It drives me crazy to see u sittin' with him
A tear goes down my cheek because i see u kiss him
I know the words ya sayin' b4 they could be said
Hear the thoughts you're thinkin' b4 they come into your head
Wouldn't hurt the bratha for anything in this world
But damm i feel in love with his girl
My burnin' heart

Ray：

My heart is burnin' u know it's yearnin'
For your sweet caress
I lay in exstacy as u kiss and rub my chest
U know u love me why must u deny yourself？
What i could offer u yet u want somebody else
It's not taht girl well then girl what could it be
I hope i'm good for u cause girl you're good for me
Many nites i cried and tried to make this work
Then act a fool and croon the cruel like a jerk
Well i'm sorry baby i have to let u know
U r my life my strenght i refuse to let u go
U r so fruitful baby u light up my life
I close my eyes and dream that you'd become my wife
Day in and day out it's u i pray about
Don't lock the door to your heart don't make me stay out
I love u honey cause you're like a work of art
You've got me on fire my burnin' heart
Repeat first verse


3.Never Be Beat


4.Panther Power

Tupac：
As real as it seems the american dream
Ain't nuthin' but anotha calculated scheme
To keep us locked up and shot up and back in chains
To deny us our future rob our name
Kept our history a mystery but now i see
The american dream wasn't meant for me
＆cause lady liberty's a hypocrite she lied to me
Promised freedom education and ecuality
Never gave be nuthin' but slavery
But now look at how dangerous you made me
Callin' me a man ＆cause i'm strong and bold
With this gumbo of knowledge of the lies you told
Promised me emancipation and a free nation
All you ever gave my people was starvation
The father of our country never cared for me
They kept our ancestors shacked up in slavery
Uncle sam neva did a damm thing for me
Exept lie about the facts in my history
Now i'm sittin' here mad ＆cause i'm unemployed
But the government mad cause they enjoy
When my people are down they just screw us around
Time to change the government now
Panther power

Ray：
Panther powr from the place that resides within
Go to for to with a panther and you just can't win
Self proclaimed best supress the rest
The rich get richer and the poor take less
The american dream was the american nightmare
You kept my people down and refused to fight fair
The ku klux klan tried to keep us out
With signs that state 'no blacks allowed'
With intimidation and segregation
Once would wait for our freedom
But now we're impatient
Blacks they others they yell sell out
Freedom equality get out yell out
Don't eva be ashamed of what you are
It's your panther power that makes you a star
Panther power

Tupac：
My mother neva let me forget my history
Hopin' that i would set free cahins that were put on me
Wanted to be more than just free
Had to know tha true facts about my history
I couldn't settle for bein' a statistic
Couldn't survive in this capitalistic government
＆cause it was meant to hold us back with ignorance
Drugs and sneak attacks in my community
They killed our unity
But when i charged them they cried immunity
I strike america like a case of heart disease
Panther power is runnin' through my arteries
Try to stop me homeboy you'll get clawed to death
＆cause i'll be fightin for my freedom ＆till my dyin' breath

Ray：
Do you remember that's what i'm askin' you
You think you're livin' free don't make me laugh at you
Open your eyes realise you've been locked in chains
Said you wasn't civilized and stole your name
＆cause some time has passed we seem to all firget
There's no liberty for me and you we ain't free yet
Panther power


5.Static

Im smokin these niggas like they endo
Breakin em like they windows
And still they riff till they get a whiff of the shit that i
kick
And if they ever had a notion to stop me
Shoot ya best shot and get dropped wit ya posse

Nigga i got the motz im takin em out alot i got
More than you can hock im rockin the spot
So now they jock loc'em and get dropped
Tupac aint tryin to hear it
Im swingin at your knot im swingin at your knot so hot
Static is the last thing ya need when ya see me
Better have a bat or a gat to defeat me
Nigga im a whole posse rolled into one shot
Takin all ya got as your girl gets hot
And rocks the spot

Bringin' the funky flavor with the gift that only god gave
Point me to my grave, id rather die than be a slave
Slaves come as dopedealers some come as addicts
Some try to run while the others call static
