INTRO
Yeah yeah hold up
KD2 sh*t
Ayy hold up, c’mon, whoa
Right back at this
Right back
Right back, hold up, whoa
HOOK
High on life
Drunk off dark liquor
Sh*t gettin’ eerie
Like I threw on Thriller
B*tch I’m a hard hitter
Rolex clocks and killers
Holdin’ the order
I’m prayin’ God delivers
I had run-ins with Suge
n*ggas woulda’ been shook
At the height of the beef they started Death Row East
Damn, I even saw their tees on some of my G’s
Notorious label the story was made in the streets
Now it’s real life movies
Rest in peace Ill Will
VERSE 1
Let’s talk about it
We the smartest not the loudest
Came up out the project houses
Where they resort to violence
Hennessy bottles on the curb
Lil’ n*ggas tryin’ to serve
Let’s talk about it
Back when Jungle told Pac it’s on soon as we walk up out this
Picket signs Outlawz outside the music hall
Buncha’ ghetto superstars really down to lose it all
Both sides was thuggin’
But when you in my city you know how we comin’
Animals in the field and most of ‘em clutchin’
When you livin’ this rugged
That come with repercussions, look
HOOK
High on life
Drunk off dark liquor
Sh*t gettin’ eerie
Like I threw on Thriller
B*tch I’m a hard hitter
Rolex clocks and killers
Holdin’ the order
I’m prayin’ God delivers
I had run-ins with Suge
n*ggas woulda’ been shook
At the height of the beef they started Death Row East
Damn, I even saw their tees on some of my G’s
Notorious label the story was made in the streets
History lessons
Keep it on record
VERSE 2
Let’s talk about it
Cuz when you got a story real as mine you can’t leave nothin’ out it
Let’s take you back to ‘9-6, diamonds and Mac 10’s
Lookin’ thru a fresh lens
Everything I know now, wish I knew back then
Like it was only so much time left
Before Machiavelli the Don left
Booked a flight, flying out West
We was trying to squash the whole sh*t in Vegas
No media to eat it up and leak it in the papers
Eric B, Big D, and Preme was affiliated
Peace to Edi, Napoleon and all the innovators
We had respect before we was ever some entertainers
See Suge, he was a dangerous threat
MOB almost turned half of New York red
Brothers I grew up with threw up their sets
Some even had them Death Row chains hang off their necks
There’s a rumor that spread I’d like to address
Pac was never set up by Stretch (let it rest)
I stepped to him at Bryant Park so we could speak direct
He didn’t disrespect, we planned to reconnect
OUTRO
I flew to Vegas to shoot the Street Dreams video and link with Tupac
Tried to squash the East Coast West Coast beef
We didn’t talk
But he was still alive in the hospital
And it rained that day in Vegas
Rest In Power

Favorite track off the album, amazing! R.I.P. Pac.
First here
R.I.P
Hey Canibus
How you doing Canibus?
Surprised it's not the track with Eminem.
Pac and Nas would have made legendary music together. Such a shame we never got to experience it 😔
This song give me chills, man. Far out.
Nope, we ain't missing nothing
Nas didn't need to do nothing with Pac....Nas too many levels above
@@TheExclusiveOne720 yeah aight, if that's the case Nas didn't NEED to do anything with Lil Nas X neither, the way you're looking at things. Yet he did. Pac & Nas squashing the beef & doing records together especially at that time, is definitely something that would've been monumental. Did he need to? No. Would it have been dope as fuck for them to, knowing it would've been colossal? Well, of course.

Yes!_No one will ever do what 2 Pac did, ever!_
These words Nas_*Chill out, chill out, yo, hold on. This is my nigga Nas and we both got one thing in common. We both, we both represent Queens to the fullest, aight? This brother was good enough to stop his show. And I want everybody in here, everybody stand up on their feet. First and foremost, please. At 7:03 PM New York time; 4:03 PM Las Vegas time, 2Pac Shakur passed away, y’all. Give me a moment of silence

He told this story before on 1 interview and when Pac died he said this.

Right. 🤝🏾
It only got brought up again because there was different sides of the story te entry in interviews and podcast then math Hoffa .. but the crew that rolled with pac and outlawz during the event say otherwise NY Niggas could be lying none fked with death row back in the day and apparently there was more deathrow east shirts there than anything

Now the world really knows that Pac was killed right at the moment the East Coast/ Westcoast beef was about to be squashed. DeathRow East was about to become a reality. People have been painted as villains all because the loss of Pac and Biggie left the game speechless. I always knew Nas had love for Pac because he would never diss him after his death. Thank you Nas for letting the world know a piece of the real story✊🏾
They had beef but Pac saw Nas and confronted him. They talked things out and became cool but then the next day Pac got shot
killed lol bro was shot like 7 times, for the second time.
a true ghetto superstar down to lose it all, rip 'pac.
Honorable
It weren’t about to be squashed. Deathrow East was intended to compete against Badboys Records in New York - in attempt to overthrow Badboys’, including Badboy affiliates (Roc-A-Fella Records) dominance in New York. If anything, it was about to become REAL.
Suge Knight was about to become the Berry Gordy of Hip-Hop. Even Craig Mack was into Death Row

I'm 45. I met both PAC and Nas. Both times on the street in passing. Just daps and keep it moving. Both seem cool. Losing PAC made me lost my west coast artist groove but Nas kept me in hip hop.
Oh wow you met pac and nas you are blessed!!!
Listen. Nas a livin legend bruh. We hearin this dude in the flesh. Nas ain’t fell off in no aspect lyrically. He scribed in history. One Love Nasir Jones.

This is probably my favorite Nas song. He tells a story while keeping keeping a perfect flow.
RIP MAKAVELI 👑🙏🏾🍾
This song DESERVES AND NEEDS a video.... I can already see it... Nas rhyming in 2021 flipping through a photo album with a montage of photos and vids from the 96 era of PAC, deathrow goons, Nas and jungle's goons... Zoom in on a photo in nas' photo album of PAC doing that interview in new York about death row east that turns into a video, fade back to Nas reminiscing about that era as hes strolling through bryant Park with ghost/faded people walking behind him where it went down. Showing behind the scenes footage from the street dreams video..fast cuts, fast fades and zooms representing how fast pac was livin, and how fast that whole time in the early 90s seemed to come and go...... The beat and nas' flow just has such a nostalgic "reminicing on the old days" feel to it. A video with effects that make it look like old school vintage 90s tv.....it would be Fuckin epic!
MAKE A VIDEO OUT OF THIS NAS!
word he should
Would be like a documentary. The way Nas describes the scenes in his signature flow is just too real. Best hip hop stories were from the 90s because of the big characters in that era. GOT type shit.

This is a fucking master piece. Surprised it dont have more views. I miss this type of music. Storyline from hell!
Nas the only nigga i believe wen he speaks on pac
I grew up in Detroit and went to Howard U. I was in the stands are RFK stadium just being a young G during the Howard Hampton game September 13, 1996. The game STOPPED and the announcer came over the PA system and announced that PAC had died. I remember being so numb. There had to be 50,000 Black people from across the country bound under the Hampton and Howard flags that evening. When we tried to conduct a moment of silence, we literally could not do it because there was so much wailing and crying. His life took on a whole new meaning for me, because it was only then that I realized how much he meant to so many people...RIP bro, I cannot believe it has been 25 years
I remember living in LA for a few years during that era, I was only 13 at the time. The day PAC passed, they cancelled football practice. I can still see my assistant coach crying. Such an impact 2pac had…
Same. I'm from Indy and went to Jackson State. Same thing, I use to tutor at this elementary school and a young kid came in saying "my mom said Pac got shot". No social media I'm thinking, his mom must have been talking about 94. Later we played I think Gramblin or someone in the swac. Announcement that Pac died. We had a moment of silence, the band played "I ain't mad at Cha". Later that night, women crying on the campus, the mood was shock mode. At the club, the dj was playing Biggie..then he stopped the record and said F that Shyt. Put on ambitions as a ridah..the place erupted. Then later that night a rumor went around that Master P got shot 🤦🏽♂️. Those where the days. HBCU Life💯

Loved that Nas cleared the record, finally. That whole saga of Pac vs Nas was tough on fans like myself, who appreciated both artists. I'm glad they squashed it before Pac died.
This beat is just knocking
Still the only one now that can have me like woah man
Thank you Nas for keeping it straight hip hop. Tired of all the trap. The kids are learning. Thank God for Cordae too!
Cordae 🤣
🤦🏿♂️😂😂 cordae decent but pro era gave us what the game needed
@@oldmanwithgun1151 Cordae is keeping hip hop alive as well...
cordae is the future
Cordae can’t fw none of them young trap rappers
It’s crazy because I was just thinking about how Pac called majority of east coast out when I was a child, even Nas. This song is like the closure I needed to understand Nas’ perspective.
He agreed to take the nas disses off makaveli after they had the confrontation/sit down but he died & suge released it as is
@Doctor Sleep yup, because 2pac went hard on EVERYBODY. I just wanted to hear Nas’ perspective explained on song
@@dhu55ein9 ok, Pac was going to remove the disses, but didn’t get to change the songs before he died. Thanks for explaining that
Nas the King and legend 🔥🔥🔥🔥🐐🐐🐐🐐
This is History!
Who can possibly doubt this guy isn't the greatest who ever did it? I get chills and reminisce about the days I would wait for his albums to drop at the store
Gay z will drop the same time
Killuminati
Tripping .. he is lyrical but stop it. Your just a fan.
@MV740 haha
Nas words give me goosebumps, knot in my throat, tear in my eye, nostalgia, sympathy & understanding. What other artist out can do that?
Nas has been involved in some of Hip Hops most pivotal moments.
1. Death Row East (during the 90's)
2. Beef with Jay.
3. Reconciliation with Jay
4. When he hopped on the remix of J Coles "Let Nas Down"
5. Releasing this song.
Like these are all goosebump moments in hip hop.
That’s entirely your opinion other than the first 2
@@WyWid and most would agree with that opinion so it's entirely relevant.
Dont forget he has almost unanimously the most classic iconic hiphop album ever created at the tender age of 19
Have you heard of Illmatic?
@@Cashmere.Kufi_88 greatest rap album ever behind To Pimp A Butterfly. Boom. Hot take. Give To Pimp A Butterfly 25 years and you’ll be thanking me for opening your mind
Nasir Jones is a general, always was. This goes out to his so called enemies from all-time sake! Oh, I am 40 years old. Nas got feeling like I am 16!
KD 3 on the way! Home base
Much respect for Nas... it dawned on Nas that Pac wasn't just thugging and that Pac was a lyrical warlord trying to change something that's certainly not right... that was the same day both of them almost killed themselves on issues about their short term beef.
Nas then realised that both he & Pac, were actually soldiers on the same struggle.
If Pac was still alive, they would have been the biggest flocks that the rap game ever experienced.
Pac and Nas are actually the greatest 🙌 in rap history.
Respect!!!
@@SuperBreaker7 BIG was nice but he was not on Makaveli Nas level. Just my honest opinion.
Absolutely agree.
Lol
