[Chorus: Shock G & The Shah, 2Pac]
They tryna✦ say that I don't care
Woke up screamed✦ "Fuck the world!"
They tryna✦ say that I don't care
Just woke up and screamed✦ "Fuck the world!"
They tryna✦ say that I don't care
I got up and screamed✦ "Fuck the world!"
They're tryna✦ say that I don't care
I woke up and screamed✦ "Fuck the world!"
They're tryna✦ say that I don't care
[Verse 3: 2Pac]
(Man, Fuck the world)
Damn, they wanna✦ label me a menace✦
'Cause I'm sittin'✦ here sippin'✦ on Guinness
Weighin' 165 and these tricks should die
For being jealous of a brother when he rise
I can see it in your eyes, you wanna✦ see a young playa fallin'✦
They hate to see a nigga✦ ballin'✦
Some of you suckers is rotten,✦ plottin' on what I got
And then you wonder✦ why I shot him (Booyeah)
Stop givin'✦ game for free, you wanna✦ hang with me
Like being a thug is the thang to be
But I got love for my homies,✦ the G's and macks
And if you're Black, you better✦ stay strapped✦
Nigga,✦ fuck the world!
[Chorus: Shock G & The Shah, 2Pac]
They tryna✦ say that I don't care
I woke up screamed✦ "Fuck the world!"
They tryna✦ say that I don't care
I woke up and screamed✦ "Fuck the world!"
They tryna✦ say that I don't care
I got up and screamed✦ "Fuck the world!"
Haha,✦ Fuck the world!
Fuck it
I hear my niggas✦ screamin'✦ "Fuck the world"
[Verse 4: 2Pac]
They wanna✦ know if I claim the clique that I'm hangin'✦ with
And if I'm down with this bangin'✦ shit
Well, homie, I don't give a fuck if you Blood or Cuz
Long as you got love for thugs
But don't try to test me out – stall that
Homie this is Thug Life, nigga,✦ and we all strapped✦
I been through hell and back and if I fail, black
Then it's back to the corner✦ where we sell crack
Some of you niggas✦ is bustas,✦ you runnin'✦ 'round
With these tramp-ass bitches, don't trust her
But don't cry, this world ain't prepared for us
A straight thug motherfucker who ain't scared to bust
Fuck the world!
[Chorus: Shock G & The Shah, 2Pac]
They tryna✦ say that I don't care
I woke up screamed✦ "Fuck the world!"
They tryna✦ say that I don't care
I woke up screamin'✦ "Fuck the world!"
They tryna✦ say that I don't care (They tryna✦ say that I don't care)
I woke up and screamed✦ "Fuck the world!"
(Yeah what’s goin on y’all?)
Uhh, uhh, uhh... Fuck the world!
[Outro: Shock G & The Shah]
I don’t care... I don’t care, I don’t care!

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

Pac utilizes a raw, conversational cadence that relies on visceral emotional projection rather than complex lyrical abstraction, fitting perfectly within the 1995 G-funk era's standards for directness and bravado.

"wanna label me a menace / 'Cause I'm sittin' here sippin' on Guinness"

① The literal act of drinking the stout beer while reflecting on public perception.② A juxtaposition between the 'Menace to Society' media label and the mundane, calm act of consuming a drink, highlighting the disconnect between his persona and his actual behavior.

"Stop givin' game for free, you wanna hang with me / Like being a thug is the thang to be"

① Critique of hangers-on who treat his lifestyle as a trend.② A commentary on the commodification of 'thug' culture, acknowledging that his authentic struggle has become a sought-after aesthetic for others.

Exceptional vocal delivery that captures a sense of genuine frustration

Strong rhythmic pocket that emphasizes the end-rhymes

Authentic persona maintenance throughout the verse

Literal approach limits the complexity of metaphors

Over-reliance on repetitive rhyming conventions common in 90s West Coast rap

Lack of multi-layered abstraction
