1
Rebel, rebel, rebel
2
Rebel, rebel
3
They just can't stand the reign, or the occasional pain
4
From a man like me, who goes against the grain
5
Sometimes I do it in vain, so with a little bass and treble
6
Hey Mister! It's time for me to explain that I'm the rebel
7
Cold as the devil
8
Straight from the underground, the rebel, a lower level
9
They came to see the maniac psychopath
10
The critics heard of me, and the aftermath
11
I don't give a damn and it shows
12
And when I do a stage show I wear street clothes
13
So they all know me
14
The lyrical lunatic, the maniac emcee
15
I give a shout out to your homies
16
And maybe then, the critics'll leave your boy alone, G
17
On the streets or on TV
18
It just don't pay to be, a truth telling MC
19
They won't be happy till I'm banned
20
The most dangerous weapon: an educated black man
21
So point blank in your face, pump up the bass
22
And join the human race
23
I throw peace to the Bay
24
Cause from the Jungle to Oaktown, they backin' me up all the way
25
You know you gotta love the sound
26
It's from the rebel, the rebel of the underground
27
Rebel he's a rebel, rebel of the underground
28
Rebel he's a rebel, rebel of the underground
29
Rebel he's a rebel, rebel of the underground
30
Rebel he's a rebel, rebel of the underground
31
Now I'm face to face with the devils
32
Cause they breeding more rebels than the whole damn ghetto
33
And police brutality
34
Shit it put you in the nip and call it technicality
35
So you reap what you sow
36
So reap the wrath of the rebel, jacking em up once mo'
37
Now the fox is in the hen house, creeping up on your daughter
38
While you sleep I got her sneaking out
39
Tupac ain't nothing nice
40
I'll be nothing how I wanna, and doing what I'm gonna
41
Now I'm up to no good
42
The mastermind of mischief moving more than most could
43
So sit and slip into the sound
44
Peep the rebel, the rebel of the underground
45
Rebel he's a rebel, rebel of the underground
46
Rebel he's a rebel, rebel of the underground
47
Rebel he's a rebel, rebel of the underground
48
Rebel he's a rebel, rebel of the underground
49
They say they hate me, they wanna hold me down
50
I guess they scared of the rebel, the rebel of the underground
51
But I never let it get me
52
I just make another record bout the punks trying to sweat me
53
In fact, they trying to keep me out
54
Try to censor what I say
55
Cause they don't like what I'm talking bout
56
So what's wrong with the media today?
57
Got brothers selling out cause they greedy to get paid
58
But me, I'm coming from the soul
59
And if it don't go gold, my story still getting told
60
And that way they can't stop me
61
And if it sells a couple of copies, the punks'll try to copy
62
It's sloppy, don't even try to
63
I'm a slave to the rhythm, and I'm about to fly through
64
So yo to the people in the ghetto
65
When ya hear the bass flow, go ahead and let go
66
Now everybody wanna gang bang
67
They talking street slang, but the punks still can't hang
68
They making records bout violence
69
But when it comes to the real, some brothers go silent
70
It kinda make you wanna think about
71
That ya gotta do some selling out, just to get your record out
72
But 2Pacalpyse is straight down
73
So feel the wrath of the rebel. the rebel of the underground
74
Rebel he's a rebel, rebel of the underground
75
Rebel he's a rebel, rebel of the underground
76
Rebel he's a rebel, rebel of the underground
77
Rebel he's a rebel, rebel of the underground
78
Rebel he's a rebel, rebel of the underground
79
Rebel he's a rebel, rebel of the underground
80
Rebel he's a rebel, rebel of the underground
81
Rebel he's a rebel, rebel of the underground
