"They'll never take me alive, I'm getting high with my four-five
Cocked on these suckas, time to die.."
"Some say the blacker the berry the sweeter the juice
I say the darker the flesh and the deeper the roots"
"They say p*ssy and paper is poetry, power and pistols,
Plottin' on murdering motherfukkers 'fore they get you"
In fact, Pac has so many that set the mood just right straightaway:
"Multiple gunshots, fill the block, the fun stops,
nikkaz is callin' cops, people shot, nobody stops"
"They wanna bury me I'm worried,
I'm losing my mind, look down the barrel of my nine and my vision's blurried.."
"Back in elementary, I thrived off misery
Left me alone, I grew up amongst a dying breed"
"I see no changes, wake up in the morning and I ask myself:
Is life worth living or should I blast myself?"
Another underrated one:
"My life in exchange for yours, born hated as a thug
House full of babies crying from a lack of getting love
Ain't nobody tell me shyt.."
Just the imagery from that second line and the hard-nosed attitude around it to display the truth of it..
"I wake up early in the morning, mindstate so military
Suckas fantasize of pictures of a young brother buried"
If you take into account that the first few lines are what get you started in the song and reflect where someone's mind is at the moment, it's actually pretty disturbing just how much Pac was really thinking about death and misery all the time. Reads like a diary and really paints a picture of hopelessness.
