Hand me a cigarette dawg!

They got me feelin^✦ crazier than a motherfucker^✦

I got bad ass in this motherfucker^✦

Makaveli the Don, representin'^✦ the Outlawz

Bad ass representin'^✦ the L.B.C

So what'cha wanna^✦ do? Y'know^✦ how we do it

Time goes by, puffin'^✦ on lye

Hopin'^✦ that it gets me high

Got a nigga^✦ goin' crazy^✦

Oh yeah, I feel crazy^✦

(Tell 'em bout it)

Last year was a hard one, but life goes on

Hold my head against the wall learnin' right from wrong

They say my ghetto^✦ instrumental,^✦ detrimental^✦ to kids

As if they can't see the misery^✦ in which they live

Blame me for the outcome, ban my records, check it

Don't have to bump this but please respect it

I took a minus^✦ and now the hard times^✦ are behind^✦ us

Turned^✦ into^✦ a plus, now they stuck livin'^✦ blinded

Hennesey^✦ got me feelin^✦ bad, time to stop drinkin'^✦

Rollin,^✦ in my drop-top Jag, what's that cops thinkin'?^✦

Sittin^✦ in my car, watch the stars and smoke

I came a long way but still I got so far to go

Dear mama,^✦ don't worry;^✦ I'ma^✦ watch for snakes^✦

Tell Setchu,^✦ that I love her, but it's hard to take

I got the letter^✦ that she sent me, and I cried for weeks

This what came out when I tried to speak, all I heard was

Time goes by, puffin'^✦ on lye

Hopin'^✦ that it gets me high

Got a nigga^✦ goin crazy^✦

I feel crazy^✦ (all I hear was)

Time goes by, puffin'^✦ on lye

Hopin'^✦ that it gets me high

Got a nigga^✦ goin' crazy^✦ (crazy!,^✦ Crazy!)^✦

I feel crazy^✦ (one, two, three, four)

I see bloods and crips runnin'^✦ up the hill

Lookin'^✦ for a better^✦ way

My brothers and sisters it's time to bail

'Cause even^✦ thug niggas^✦ pray

Hopin'^✦ God hear me, I entered the game; look how much I changed

I'm no longer^✦ innocent casualties of fame

Made a lot of money,^✦ seen a lot of places^✦

And I swear I seen a peaceful smile on my mama's^✦ face

When I gave her the keys to her own house, this your land

Your only^✦ son done became^✦ a man

Watchin' time fly; I love my people do or die

But I wonder^✦ why, we scared^✦ to let each other^✦ fly

June one-six, 'seven-one, the day

Mama^✦ pushed^✦ me out her womb, told me, "Nigga^✦ get paid"

No one can understand me - the black sheep

Outcasted from my family,^✦ now packin'^✦ heat

I run the streets, a young runaway, live for today^✦

When he died, I could hear him (made it!) Say, c'mon (westside!)^✦

Time goes by, puffin'^✦ on lye

Hopin'^✦ that it gets me high

Got a nigga^✦ goin' crazy^✦ (she better^✦ get me fucked^✦ up)

I feel crazy^✦

Time goes by, puffin'^✦ on lye

Hopin'^✦ that it gets me high

Got a nigga^✦ goin' crazy^✦ (crazy!^✦ Crazy!)^✦

I feel crazy^✦ (crazy!^✦ Black it out, huh)

God help me out here (help me out!) 'cause I'm posessed

I need the root of all evil^✦ for my stress

'Cause money's^✦ like a stong prescription^✦ drug, it's got me addicted^✦

To the pleasure and the pain it inflicted^✦

Somethin' 'bout the paper^✦ with the pictures of the president's head

Damn, it's like a motherfuckin' plague that spread

It's epidemic; forgotten,^✦ forgotten^✦ it got worse

I keep my head on straight, makin'^✦ money^✦ 'cause it's cursed^✦

Makin'^✦ money^✦ makes^✦ a difference day by day so I gotta^✦ stay

Paid, no doubt, day in and day out

This life is like a vicious cycle called,^✦ "Fighting to live"

No matter^✦ how hard you try, it's in death, you gotta^✦ die

A lot of my peers didn't make it to the years to come

Did life doin' right, or did life livin'^✦ dumb

Who has the answers? I wonder;^✦ I turn to my elders^✦

They aged^✦ and experienced, but they can't even^✦ tell ya

Or tell me, that there'll be light at the end of the road

(Why?) 'Cause they don't even^✦ know

A million^✦ thangs run through my mind

You ain't gotta^✦ be in jail to be doin' time (remember this too)

Time goes by, puffin'^✦ on lye

Hopin'^✦ that it gets me high

Got a nigga^✦ goin' crazy^✦ (crazy!^✦ Crazy!)^✦

I feel crazy^✦ (crazy!)^✦

Time goes by, puffin'^✦ on lye

Hopin'^✦ that it gets me high

Got a nigga^✦ goin' crazy^✦ (I feel fucked^✦ up in this bitch!)

I feel crazy^✦ (I smoked^✦ half an ounce to the head)

Time goes by, puffin'^✦ on lye (chocolate tye, indo,^✦ Hawaiian, lambsbread)

Hopin'^✦ that it gets me high (Buddha,^✦ all that shit)

Got a nigga^✦ goin' crazy^✦ (I feel fucked^✦ up in this motherfucker!)^✦

(And Hennesey^✦ don't help) I feel crazy^✦ (and Hennesey^✦ don't help)

Hopin'^✦ that it gets me high (maximum overload)

Got a nigga^✦ goin' crazy^✦ (three day theory,^✦ killuminati to your body)^✦

With the impact of a 12 gauge shotty^✦ (I feel crazy)^✦

Double-I slugs, no love, straight thugs

One time for my niggaz^✦ in the jail cell (one time for my niggaz^✦ locked^✦ up)

One time for my niggaz^✦ doin' life in hell (one time for my niggaz^✦ and shit, one time)

One time (one time) for my niggaz^✦ in the jail cell

One time for my niggaz^✦ doin' life in hell (one time for my niggaz^✦ locked^✦ down)

One time (one time) for my niggaz^✦ on Death Row (one time for my niggaz^✦ on the Row)

For my niggaz^✦ on Death Row (for my niggaz^✦ on the Death Row)

One time for my niggaz^✦ livin,^✦ broke (Westside,^✦ California style, L.A.!)

One time (you know what time it is, no doubt) for my niggaz^✦ livin,^✦ broke

One time (get high, puffin^✦ on lye) for my niggaz^✦ in the jail cell

(Wonder^✦ if it get me high)

(Yeah, yeah)

Tupac utilizes a conversational, diaristic flow to mask the technical density of his internal rhyme schemes, prioritizing raw emotional conviction and rhythmic pocket-locking over dense, meta-lyrical wordplay.

Internal Rhyme LinkingConversational CadenceDynamic Shift from Anecdotal to Political CommentaryAssonance-heavy phrasing

Rhyme Architecture: A fluid mix of AABB and AAAA structures integrated with heavily syncopated internal rhymes that serve as rhythmic glue between the main end-rhyme anchor points.

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"I took a minus and now the hard times are behind us / Turned into a plus"

① Literal arithmetic shift from a negative integer to a positive one.② Metaphorical growth, transforming a period of hardship (the minus) into a period of prosperity or progress (the plus).

"They say my ghetto instrumental, detrimental to kids"

① The literal backing track or musical beat of his songs.② The entirety of his output, message, and lifestyle, viewed as a catalyst for juvenile delinquency.

Exceptional emotional resonance and authenticity

Highly rhythmic flow that manages to feel improvised while remaining strictly on the beat

Effective use of autobiography to anchor social commentary

Vocabulary remains functional rather than ornate

Wordplay is occasionally secondary to the narrative urgency
