Intro (The Rose, Vol. 2) Lyrics by 2Pac

What's in your hand nigga?
Yall listening, but
Do you understand nigga? Revolution!
What's your plan nigga? *Gunshot*
Since my transition
I've been misquoted, disrespected, and turning over in my grave
Watching yall behave as if I should be proud of something
Yet I hear you speak my name like I had a divine shroud or something, but
Religions are seldom followed
Hollowed souls backslide easy
My life is tarnished so the whole world sees me as a menace
But I replenish the hate, with me with love for yall
I look from above for yall, but I can't find my soldiers
Who's holding the weight of the world on their shoulders since I left?
Who caught my last breath as I exhaled
the rail from the tracks
who's riding to make sure they don't destroy the art form?
If they can stop me,
They can stop thirty
