Representin’ 93 lyrics
by Ice Cube
[Intro: Scarface & E-40 samples]
"I got a head, but ain't no screws in it"
"Money, money, money by the ton"
"I got a head, but ain't no screws in it"
"Money, money, money by the ton"
"I got a head, but ain't no screws in it"
[Verse 1: 2Pac]
Roll up and get swoll' up, hold up
How ya gonna play me like a sunken Dunkin' Donut?
I done came a long way to get checks
So give me respect when I get wreck
Or get your motherf*ckin' chin checked
Once again, it's your friend outta Oakland
Hoping I can rock the sh*t to get ya open
Say you're looking for some real sh*t, then catch
A funkified batch, like that!!
Oakland's on the map
2Pac is on the big screen strivin'
Gotta love a n*gga for survivin'
I wear a lot of old school jewels
Look how the fools drool, ooohh
Stop lookin at me hard 'cause you're buffer
My nine is buckin' bigger motherf*ckers
Turnin' men to suckers
n*ggas wanna spark a little ruckus
Better duck, 'cause I'll be poppin' them motherf*ckers
They wanna throw their hands up, that's tight
Hit 'em wit' my "ain't never had sh*t" left, right
Then hit 'em wit' the uppercut, duck quick
sh*t outta luck, f*ckin' stuck with that rough sh*t
f*ck a pop song, f*ck a video, f*ck Arsenio
f*ck the radio – do you hear me though?
Give a holla to my n*ggas in the pen
And my murderous partners wit their MAC 10s
I represent the real 'cause I'm ill, G
Glock c*cked 'til the day they kill me
I'm representin'
[Chorus: 2Pac, Scarface & E-40 samples]
"Money, money, money by the ton"
"I got a head, but ain't no screws in it"
Strictly representin'
"Money, money, money by the ton"
"I got a head, but ain't no screws in it"
[Verse 2: 2Pac]
Peace to Redman, Treach, Vin Rock, Kay Gee the great one
Mary J. Blige, Pete Rock, and Troy, the late son
Heavy D, CL Smooth, and Queen Latifah
Too $hort, Tony Toni Tone, LayLaw, and Pico
Ed – the Special motherf*cker and the Lover
The tribe – A Tribe Called Quest and Jungle Brothers
Das EFX, EPMD, and Ice Cube
House of Pain – funky blunted ass white dudes
Cypress Hill – yeah, the ill n*ggas

Young Guns in the house pumpin' the flava
Thugadon, DJ Diz, Roughneck Behavior
Off the head, my freestyle flow
Just a couple of motherf*ckers that I know
Be strictly representin'
[Chorus: 2Pac, Scarface & E-40 samples]
"Money, money, money by the ton"
"I got a head, but ain't no screws in it"
Yeah, strictly representin'
"Money, money, money by the ton"
1 motherf*ckin', 2 motherf*ckin', 3 motherf*ck', 4
"I got a head–" (Damn, who did I forget?)
"But ain't no screws in it"
"But ain't no screws in it"
[Verse 3: 2Pac]
I'm a soulja, daddy was a soulja strong
And the struggle must continue, so it's on
Raised in a house full of bad motherf*ckers
Mad motherf*ckers, never had, so we grab
From the sad motherf*ckers
Now they know me, the homies
Raised by some crazed ass well paid OG's
Ah sh*t! Pulled up in a Benzy, snatch
The wheel as I peel off, catch
A c*cktail, block sale's hit, raise a fist
So they know who make the hit
Can I flip it? I make it wicked as I rip it (Uh)
To get specific – if the shoe fits, then kick it
It's for the gifted, pump your fist if you with it
Here's your ticket to see Mr. Wicked rip sh*t
Now they wanna ban me (Told ya)
All I wanted to be was a soulja
Bang bang boogie, it's a stick up
Quit now, n*gga, eat a di*k up
Huh, I'm representin'
