[Statements — 2pac (Dan Quayle):]
I was raised in this society✦ so there's no way
You can expect me to be a perfect person✦ cuz I'm a do what I'm a do
I am still thirsty
(There is absolutely no reason✦ for a record✦ like this to be published
It has no place in our society.)✦
They gotta understand me
(Withdraw on this record.)✦
That's how I feel I'm a do whatever I like. I am not a role model✦

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

The verse functions more as a socio-political manifesto than a demonstration of intricate lyricism, relying on raw, conversational assertiveness to establish a persona that deliberately rejects societal norms.
