[Verse 2: 2Pac]
Please Lord forgive✦ me for my life of sin
My hard stare seem to scare all my sister's kids
So you know, I don't hang around the house much
This all night money✦ makin'✦ got me outta✦ touch, shit
Ain't flashed a smile in a long while
An unexpected birth worst of the ghetto✦ childs
My attitude got me walkin'✦ solo,✦ ride out alone✦ in my lo-lo✦
Watchin' the whole world move in slow-mo✦
For quiet times,✦ disappear, listen✦ to the ocean✦
Smokin'✦ 'Ports, think my thoughts, then it's back to coastin'
Who can I trust in this cold world?
My phony✦ homie had a baby✦ by my old girl
But I ain't trippin', I'm a player, I ain't sweatin'✦ him
I sexed✦ his sister,✦ had her mumble like a Mexican
His next of kin, no remorse it was meant to happen✦
Besides rappin'✦ the only✦ thing I did good was scrappin'
Until✦ the end of time
[Chorus: Richard Page]
Take, these broken✦ wings
I need your hands to come and heal me once again✦
(Until✦ the end of time)
So I can fly, 'til the end of time
Take, these broken✦ wings...
Take, these broken✦ wings
You got to learn to fly, learn to live so free
(Until✦ the end of time)
So we can fly away,✦ 'til the end of time
Take, these broken✦ wings...
[Verse 3: 2Pac]
Now who's to say if I was right or wrong?
To live my life as an Outlaw✦ all along✦
Remain✦ strong in this planet✦ full of player haters
They conversate but Death Row full of demonstrators
And in the end drinkin' Hennessy made all my enemies envy✦ me
So cold when I flow eliminatin'✦ easily✦
Fall to their knees, they plead for they right to breathe
While beggin'✦ me to keep the peace (haha)✦
When I conceive✦ closer✦ to achieve
In times✦ of danger,✦ don't freeze, time to be a G
Follow✦ my lead I'll supply✦ everything you need
An ounce of game and the trainin' to make a G
Remember me, as an outcast Outlaw✦
Another album out, that's what I'm about,✦ more
Gettin'✦ raw 'til the day I see my casket✦
Buried✦ as a G while the whole world remembers me
Until✦ the end of time
[Chorus: Richard Page]
Take, these broken✦ wings
I need your hands to come and heal me once again✦
(Until✦ the end of time)
So I can fly, 'til the end of time
Take, these broken✦ wings
You got to learn to fly, learn to live so free
(Until✦ the end of time)
So we can fly away,✦ 'til the end of time
'til the end of..
[Outro: 2Pac]
I don't know what it is that got me actin'✦ all crazy✦ out here
Guess it's just my environment, how you people be treatin'✦
(Until✦ the end of time)
Shit, I'll be back in a while?
Ain't no mystery, you get what you give, feel me?
When it comes✦ I'll be like, I can't tell you what?
Maybe it's the thug in me

Verified Doubles & Entendres
"I sexed his sister, had her mumble like a Mexican"
① Physical intimacy occurring where the partner is left incoherent.② A play on phonetic stereotypes common in 90s rap regarding foreign languages, serving to dehumanize or confuse the subject of the insult.
"His next of kin"
① A reference to the family members of his 'phony homie'.② A direct escalation of the conflict, implying that no bloodline is safe from his retaliation.
Exceptional emotional vulnerability
Naturalistic cadence
Strong structural arc transitioning from personal regret to hardened retaliation
Wordplay is functional rather than inventive
Occasional reliance on genre tropes for conflict resolution
