"The Reason I Am Who I Am Today Is Because I Can Look Directly Into My Face And Find My Soul.... It's There-
It's Not Sold- I Didn't Sell It.... I Can Be Me- I Can Be Whoever Because I'm True To Me...."
[Verse 1:]
I Will Never Sell My Soul- N I Aint Never Sellin Out-
Ill Never Switch My Roll....
Cuz I Know My Place N I Know How To Shake
All The Fake Shit In Order To Make It
Then I Gotta Take Control- Stay Up Out My Way-
Itll Be A Waste Of Time To Hate-
When The Hatred Takes Its Toll.
Cant Stop- Wont Stop Cuz Im Aimin For The Top
N Im Gonna Chop Ya If Ya Wanna Be The One To Bring Me Down-
Ima Reach For The Sky Even Tho Im Satisfied
With My Head Held High N Both Feet On The Ground.
Dont Expect Me To Cop N Give Up Everything I Got
Can Ya Just Respect That I Aint Frontin
N I Am Nothin Like The Crowd-
I Aint Bein What Im Not- No Matter What U Think Or Thought-
Im Too Damn Proud N I Aint Backin Down!.
[Hook:]
I Can See Right Through-
Everything U Say-
Say U Want Me To-
Switch It Up N Change-
Change Myself For U-
And Undo My Ways-
But Im Stayin True-
And I Frefuse To Change-
Change So Ill Fit In-
I Have A Higher Meaning-
I Dont Follow Trends-
I Was Born To Lead N-
I Aint Givin In-
I Aint Blendin In-
I Aint Switchin-
And I Refuse To Change....
[Verse 2:]
I Got My Pride N I Refuse To Be A Fool- U Played Yourself-
N I Cant Deny That I Can See Right Through U.
All U Do Is Run Your Mouth-
The Hate Is In Your Eyes When Youre Talkin About Me-
U Better Watch The Words That U Speak-
Speak The Wrong Words Itll Get Ugly-
Shut U Down So U Can Shut Up-
Speak The Wrong Words N U Will Get Touched.
Now U Been Plottin N U Got A Fat Issue-
And Ull Be Forgotten N Nobodys Gonna Miss U-
U Got Me Hot N Now Its Time To Talk To Diss U-
All The Shit U Talkin- Got U Barkin- Ima Get U....
Back When I Was Feelin Down N Out
N U Were Quick To Kick Me While Im Down-
In The End I Rise- Though I Feel Desensitized-
Now Its Time To Speak My Mind-
N Let U Know What Im About.
[Repeat Hook:]
[Verse 3:]
U Better Look Me In My Eyes N I Bet Ull Find That Youre ***Prised
When The Outcome Isnt What U Expected-
I Tried To Tell U That Youre Never Gonna Waste My Time-
Youre Never Gonna Take Away The Fact That I Shine-
And U Can Try If U Want To- But Youre Never Gonna Be This Real.
If My Words Were A Weapon Then Im Aimin For The Kill-
N Ill Aim At Your Direction- No Regrettin How I Feel Now-
Id Rather Die On My Feet Than To Live On My Knees-
I Aint Tryin To Mislead The Way U That U Perceive Me-
N Lead U To Believe That I Am More Than What U See-
N All The Strength That I Conceive Is Cuz Im Stayin True To Me-
And I Dont Give A Damn Bout What U Say.
And I Refuse To Live My Life In Vain.
U Cant Ever Label Me A Disgrace-
It Dont Matter What U Say- Ill Never Ever Change.
I Aint Never Awitchin' Up....
This Is For Ya Haters N Ya Bitches.
Cuz I Don't Really Give A Fuck....
[Pac:] "Fear Is Stronger Than Love.... Remember That. Fear Is Stronger Than Love....
All The Love I Gave Didn't Mean Nothing When It Came To Fear...."
"If Anything- My Mentality Was Like Trust Nobody.... Trust Nobody...."
"My Closest Friends Did Me In- My Closest Friends....My Homies- People I Done Took Care Of Their Whole Family- I Done Took
Care Of Everything For 'Em- Looked Out For 'Em-Threw 'Em In The Game- Everything.... Turned On Me...."
"-So I Just Thought About How Can I Make Them Sorry That They Ever Did This To Me?- U Know What I Mean?.... How Can I Come
Back 5o Times Stronger N Better?..........."
