[Verse 2]
Before✦ I lay me down to sleep, I pray and thank the Lord
For givin'✦ me another fruitful day
I wanna✦ be a peaceful man, but still when niggas✦ come for me
All I can see is gettin'✦ 'em killed✦
For real, it's how I feel
Reflect my thoughts, flowin'✦ on these reels
Make my enemies deal with my steel; they caps peeled✦
We still cool, but you played yourself
Give him the MAC and make him spray hisself, hey
Fallin'✦ legends clutchin' chrome three-five-seven
Puttin'✦ two bullets to they dome, wanted✦ to die in Heaven✦
Why call in shots? Nobody✦ really✦ as clear as me
Ain't tryin' to help the feds get a case for conspiracy
Murder,✦ my foes get disposed of
We all homies✦ to the death, so my true niggas✦ show me love
God, forgive✦ me for my lifestyle, a negative✦ figure✦
But why they fuckin'✦ with the wrong nigga✦
You know?
[Chorus]
It's like
Why you fuckin'✦ with the wrong nigga?✦
[Verse 3]
I was raised✦ by thugs, schooled by killers
Learned my mathematics skills from real drug dealers
Tried to rise, but they tried me
I guess they all had to die, ‘cause we tried peace, I die in these streets
Blast 'til they recognize✦
Still do or die, all my niggas✦ gettin'✦ high, watchin' time fly
Best strategize✦ on the way to profit✦
Best organize✦ how you ride, so they can't stop it
Then keep it poppin',✦ lot of busters wanna✦ see me fall
I fucked✦ your bitch, and now this new shit, gon', fade 'em all
My niggas✦ ball, made a call for some back-up
The lil' homies✦ and my dogs in the black truck
"Buck buck" was the sound as they gats burst
No need for ambulance, baby,✦ bring the black hearse
Should've never✦ fucked✦ around,✦ buster✦
How you figure✦ makin'✦ moves✦ on the wrong nigga✦
[Chorus]
It's what it sounds like, ding ding ding
When you fuckin'✦ with the wrong nigga✦
Niggas✦ gettin'✦ hit, when they fuckin'✦ with the wrong nigga✦
Fuckin'✦ with the wrong nigga✦

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

2Pac uses a sophisticated tension between religious supplication and violent preemption, grounding his technical rhyme density in a persona of inevitability rather than mere aggression.

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"Reflect my thoughts, flowin' on these reels"

① The literal recording medium of the studio (tape reels)② The internal film/thought process playing out in his mind

"Give him the MAC and make him spray hisself"

① Literal use of a MAC-10 firearm② A biting comment on the target's lack of autonomy, implying the target is effectively destroying their own life by provoking a superior opponent

Exceptional rhythmic integration of internal rhymes

Powerful vocal projection and intent behind the menace

Strong thematic consistency from the opening prayer to the final plea

Reliance on some predictable genre tropes regarding 'thug' imagery

Limited variation in the melodic phrasing compared to his more experimental flows
