[2Pac] 
As the world turns.. 
As the world turns my niggaz grow and grow and grow 
and get dough and roll and ride 
Niggaz die and mommas cry 
Niggaz got alibis and suicides and homicides 
and three strikes and yo' life and my life and times change 
And niggaz fame, as the world turns.. 

Though I walk thru the valley of hell the shadow follows me 
Wisdom hard to swallow tomorrow expect apologies 
You probably panic, stranded in search of a better planet 
Realism hard to understand, we stand slanted 
and still stranded, merciless thieves stole the best of me 
I pray to black Jesus to please take the rest of me 
And still, the best of us build, and reach monetary gains 
Some of us kill, but still, most of us can change 
if we search deeper, god bless the hustler, curse the first sleeper 
Enemies get beside me, flows go deeper inside 
We we ride plots keep all my enemies blinded 
Time will soon show, a thought can last for years 
Outshinin them fakes smile plastic tears 
like last year, niggaz stuck in the past, and it's clear 
Just some busta ass bastards allergic to cash this year 
Makaveli for the Mob, M-O-B 
Killin bustaz is my motherfuckin job, him or me 
Lyrically fatally driven, niggaz reported missin 
My competition dead or in prison, as the world turns... 

Chorus: Darryl 'Big D' Harper, (Tupac - in background) 

(Turns.. turns, turns, turns, and turns 
My niggaz grow and grow and grow 
and gettin dough and dough and dough 
from this state to that state 
from this cell to that cell, as the world turns) 

As the world keeps turnin round and round 
It's gon' be goin round as the world turns.. and steady turnin 

[Young Noble] 
As the world turn burnin paths, starin through my rearview 
It's a war goin on, and the President is in too 
I hear Tu-Pac sayin, "Watch em they'll kill you" 
Sippin Thug Passion, scrub actin like he feel you 
Steady plottin, ready or not; Outlawz lost 
but not forgotten, from Gittere to Compton 
A spitter of the hotness, long timeness 
So like six I ain't never been rich 
I need cream, to buy Ellene a dream house 
She no longer fiend out y'all, Outlawww 

[Napoleon] 
Another lonely nigga with a 12-gage pump 
with a 12-hour rush to run and get this money, fuck these punks 
Road rules I swim in the dirt, I stay in some skirt 
I hit where it hurts, I ride or die for my turf 
I ride or die for Makaveli the legendary war thug nigga 
Kadafi betta unslug this nigga, Seike betta undrug this nigga 
Out of the buildin we street children with no souls 
Our hearts gon' stay cold, the war gon' stay on 
We serve em, like Pac told us to, catch em wet with the tec 
Hit em in the neck and watch him die like he supposed to 
Napoleon the front line soldier, front times over 
Rider for the mightly dollar rather drunk or sober 
Nigga talkin thug walkin all through yo' squad 
Y'all niggaz scared by a dog, I got my fo'-fo' for y'all 
It's like a hot, heated day homie, warfare don't play homie 
Better be prepared than try to dunk away from these strays homie 
Worlds turn, thangs burn, all in one shot 
Rest in peace to the fallen soldiers, all that we got 
As the world turns.. 

Chorus: Darryl 'Big D' Harper, (Tupac - in background) 

(And my niggaz roll and ride, hahaha 
Niggaz gettin swoll out 
And it don't stop and it don't quit 
That real shit! As the world turns.. 
Niggaz die for 
How many you niggaz try for this? As the world turns 
Murderin methods.. haha OUTLAW!) 

As the world keeps turnin round and round 
It's gon' be goin round as the world turns.. and steady turnin 
As the world keeps turnin round and round 
It's gon' be goin round as the world turns.. 

[E.D.I. Amin] 
Only haters caught feelings, when my homie caught millions 
And acquired the desired status of boss livin 
We cross driven, cornered into a life that's hellish 
Payin our dues with bloodshed, ain't shit y'all could tell us 
Fellas - mount up, it's time for battle, it's on now 
Two worlds collidin armies ridin soldiers, gone wild 
Sometimes I think my glory days was back in my youth 
I sought too for family, but I got it lost in these ounces 
Now as the world turns court adjourns, I'm sentenced to burn 
The cost of my sins too much, nuttin left to earn 

[Kadafi] 
October 9th 1977 first day out my baby carriage 
Married my Mack-11 hit the block playin 
Only five years up in this bitch, poppa runnin from the Feds 
Puttin peanut butter on the walls to hide his prints 
Me on my own, not yet grown but only man of the home 
to protect my zone in these streets I roam 
Dough on d-low, downin straight shots of Cristal Brothers 
Hundred dollar snot box on cee-lo, fuck eighth 
I need a kilo, got a plot, move my block down state 
Got the drop on the spot, movin pounds of weight 
Fuck my fate and lots of loot to burn, a hustler's yearn 
for this dirty money earned as this crooked world turns 

Chorus: Darryl 'Big D' Harper (repeats as Tupac speaks) 

[2Pac] 
Hahaha.. as the world turns.. 
and turns and turns and turns.. haha 
This for the soldiers out there involved in the everyday struggle 
Hopin to bubble, keep on hustlin, as the world turns 
Money come and go, hoes come and go, foes come and go 
Friends come and go.. my soldiers, stay eternal 
Outlaw Immortalz, dedicated 
I send this to black Jesus, only he can feed us 
When you need us, as the world turns 
Throw this shit in the deck, hahah 
Niggaz gettin chin checked 
From the East to the West best to wear a vest 
Nigga we ain't the ones to test, fuck you 
As the world turns 
Outlaw ridahs, Mutah right beside us 
Camillion, wanna make a million 
Haha legit, as the world turns.. haha.. 
Burn baby burn 

[Napoleon] 
A lot of niggaz get burned as the world turns 
A lot of niggaz gettin burned as the world turns.. 
Gettin burned as the world turns
