歌词
I shall not fear no man but God
原来，我除了上帝一直无所畏惧
Though I walk through the valley of death
但我徘徊在死亡边缘的时候我知道我错了
I shed so many tears (if I should die before I wake)
流了很多眼泪【我真的要在活的明白之前死去吗】
Please God walk with me (grab a nigga and take me to Heaven)
祈祷主的宽恕并带我去天堂
Back in elementary, I thrived on misery
我的生命从痛苦开始
Left me alone I grew up amongst a dyin breed
独自一人在生死存亡的世界成长
Inside my mind couldn’t find a place to rest
我从未停止过思考
until I got that Thug Life tatted on my chest
直到我把“Thug Life”刺在我的身上【Thug Life恶棍生涯，另外一种解释是’The Hate U Give Little Infants, Fuck Everybody’，其中字母I用一颗子弹代替。纹于1992年。这里也暗示2pac在那个时候已经将自己的人生下了定义】
Tell me can you feel me? I’m not livin in the past, you wanna last
你该明白我了吧？我不能总是活在过去的阴影里
Be tha first to blast, remember Kato
还记得Kato吗？【Kato，2pac在帮派中的挚友，因为2500美元在洛杉矶的家门口死于劫杀，他死后2pac将自己在亚特兰大的一栋房子让给他的家人住】
No longer with us he’s deceased
他才离开我们没多少时间
Call on the sirens, seen him murdered in the streets
也给大家提个醒：不要重蹈他的覆辙
Now rest in peace
安息吧兄弟
Is there heaven for a G? Remember me
如果天堂肯收留一个浪子，请记得给我留一个位子
So many homies in the cemetery, shed so many tears
为了身边那些逝去的生命我不止一次的泪如雨下了
Ahh, I suffered through the years, and shed so many tears..
混迹了多少年，就流了多少泪
Lord, I lost so many peers, and shed so many tears
想到这些就忍不住痛哭流涕
Now that I’m strugglin in this business, by any means
现在的我都得忙于生活和生意【business双关：一指代“帮派”生活的艰辛“麻烦缠身”，二指代音乐事业的难做“前两张专辑都饱受争议”】
Label me greedy gettin green, but seldom seen
不知不觉我的欲望开始膨胀
And fuck the world cause I’m cursed, I’m havin visions
草泥马，我被这操蛋的世界诅咒了 我甚至可以看到
of leavin here in a hearse, God can you feel me?
睡在棺材里的自己 主呀你看到了吗
Take me away from all the pressure, and all the pain

Show me some happiness again, I’m goin blind

I spend my time in this cell, ain’t livin well

I know my destiny is Hell, where did I fail?

My life is in denial, and when I die,

我的一举一动都在掌控之中 只为了
to embrace an early death, now there’s nothin left

I’m barely standin, bout to go to pieces, screamin peace

And though my soul was deleted, I couldn’t see it
