• Comments: Even though this is only my third vid, this is the toughest project that I had ever attempted. There's quite a bit of word painting in this one, but it might be a bit too fast to keep up because of the quick lyrics that Tupac spits in this song. My sourse is the last two episodes of Cowboy Bebop and little clips from the Bebop Movie. So, yes there are quite a bit of spoilers in the vid, but I don't think they gave away the story of the series.
  
  Holla At Me is basically an angry attack/revenge song, so that was the tone I was aiming for. It starts out centered on Vicious in the first verse, then on Spike on the second verse. In the third verse, I showed a little hints of Spike's past. If you know this song, then you might have realised that I shortened the song a bit. It was just a bit of the ending vocals that I cut out though and the main body is still in tact.
  
  Also I titled this vid Contention because it showcases Spikes rivalry with Vicious and his crew. And another thing... white flashes = flashbacks/memory cut. I used this method in the One and Only vid as well. So if you got confused why there's white flashes, its just the characters remembering something that got them into that situation. Feedback, whether it is praise or constructive criticism, is always appreciated.
  
  
  Here are the lyrics if you want to follow along, enjoy!:
  
  ni**as out there jelous cuz we be bailin' with Death Row
  They try to playa hate
  But they can't fade us tho'
  We be mobbin' through tha neigborhood
  Yeah
  With that funky sound *so funky*
  We be throwin' down
  
  This goes out to you playa
  You know...you know who you are
  
  Gotta be carefull, can't let tha evil of tha money trap me
  So when ya see me ni**a
  Ya better Holla at me
  
  Are you confused
  You wonder how it feels to walk a mile inside tha shoes
  Of a ni**a who don't have a thing to loose
  When me and you was homies
  No one informed me it was all a scheme
  You infiltrated my team and sold a ni**as dreams
  How could you do me like that ?
  I took ya family in
  I put some cash in ya pocket
  Made you a man again
  And now you let tha fear put your a*s in a place
  Complicated to escape
  It's a fools fate
  Without your word
  Your a shell of a man
  I lost respect for you ni**a
  We can never be friends
  I know i'm runnin' through your head now
  What could you do ?
  If it was up to you
  I'd be dead now
  I let tha world know ni**a you a coward
  You could never be live
  Until you die
  See tha mothaf**ken bi**h in your eye
  Type of ni**a, that let tha evil of tha money trap me
  When ya see me ni**a
  Ya better holla at me (holla at me)
  Can't let tha evil of tha money trap me
  So when ya see me ni**a
  Ya better Holla at me
  
  You better beware where you lay
  We better not find where you stay
  
  So I gotta be carefull, can't let tha evil of tha money trap me
  So when ya see me ni**a
  Ya better holla at me
  
  You better beware where you lay
  We better not find where you stay
  
  Courious
  Spittin' lyrics
  On tha verge of furious
  I'm addicted to currency
  ni**a that's why we're doin this
  I got shot up, I surprised tha ni**as tha way I got up
  And then
  I hit the studio
  It's time to blow tha block up
  No hesitation
  This information got you contemplatin'
  Heartbreakin' and eliminatin' with this conversation
  Break him
  And let him see tha face of a mental patient
  It's a celebration
  Of my criminal elevation
  With the participation
  I want members across tha fifty states
  To keep tha nation anticipatin' until we break
  Will I be great, is it my fate ?
  To live tha life of luxury
  Some ni**as bought my tapes
  So much jelousy it scares me
  So be prepared
  Cause only tha strong survive
  Life isn't fair (fair)
  Probably never knew tha way it feels to die
  So you figure f**k with me
  I give that a*s a try
  ni**a, Holla at me
  
  You better beware where you lay
  We better not find where you stay
  
  I shoulda saw tha signs
  I was blinded
  Criminal minds of a young black brotha doin' time
  So many brothas framed in this dirty game
  It's a shame
  So much pressure on my brain
  While she blame me
  Secrets in tha dark
  Only her and I know
  Now i'm sitten' in tha state pen
  Doin time for slow
  Guess she made a bad decision
  That got me livin'
  Just like an animal
  I'm caged up in state prison
  My ni**as dissin'
  Cause
  Hell have no fury like a woman scorn
  A cemetary full of mothaf**kers got not knowin'
  Picture my prophecy
  Tha cops are attacking me, on top of me
  I'm runnin' from tha coppers
  But never let'em stop me
  Cause i'm a soulja
  Hell, ever since I was a little ni**a havin' fantasies
  Of one day getting older
  ni**as is paranoid
  Trust
  A no no
  Love is a mystery
  f**k tha po po,
  Holla at me.....
  So when you see me ni**a
  You better holla at me....
  
  You better beware where you lay
  We better not find where you stay
  
  ni**as out there jelous cuz we be bailin' with Death Row
