40. My moms was from a small town in Jamaica...

41. where they left their doors unlocked at night.

42. But in our neighborhood, the only time she let me off the stoop...

43. is when she walked me home from school.

44. You've seen that 12, 13 times. Don't you wanna see something different?

45. This was Brooklyn.

46. Do-or-die Bed-Stuy.

47. And there was some shit Moms couldn't protect me from.

48. Voletta.

49. Christopher.

50. Say hello to your father.

76. Moms don't want your money So run and flee

77. Back all hunched over 'Cause you gotta admit

79. Right then and there, I decided to stop being that little kid on the stoop.

80. I wanted to be like them brothers on the block.

81. They didn't hold their heads down for no one.

82. I knew life was a fucked-up game.

83. And I knew D-Roc was fucked up enough to show me how to play.

100. You don't think Jehovah has a sense of humor?

101. He must have if he made you.

104. So who were you yapping on the phone with last night?

1300. Let's go somewhere and talk this shit out. "

1301. But the fact is, we were both way beyond that now.

1302. The media went crazy. It had nothing to do with hip-hop...

1311. He talks about what's actually going on, on the streets.

1312. I know Big set him up. That's why my man Pac came back with "Hit 'Em Up. "

1313. That's bullshit. Set him up?

1314. Biggie wrote "Who Shot Ya" because he had to do with Pac.

1315. Big wrote "Who Shot Ya" months before that shit.

1316. How is Pac gonna really think that Biggie would set him up like that?

1317. Fuck West Coast. Man, they can eat a dick.

1318. I don't give a fuck if you think it's gangsta.

1319. - Fuck Compton. - Fuck the East Coast.

1320. - Fuck the West Coast. - That's what I think about...

1340. Sometimes you rise above it, sometimes you step on in.

1341. - Don't sing that song. - I got to.

1342. Check it out. This industry will turn your best friends into your worst enemies.

1343. Pac warned me, but I didn't believe him.

1344. This song was made months ago.

1345. He probably won't believe me. Maybe nobody will.

1346. But frankly, I don't give a fuck.

1347. Drop that joint, DJ Enuff.

1348. Who shot ya? Separate the weak from the obsolete

1399. with four gunshot wounds and is reported to be in critical condition.

1400. What the fuck?

1401. I pray all this East Coast-West Coast mess is over now.

1402. I saw his mother on TV.

1403. She's a strong woman.

1404. But no parent should have to bury their child.

1405. I just always figured we had time to straighten things out.

1406. You don't think this had to do with your argument?

1407. No.

1408. I don't.

1409. Well, nobody is invincible, son.

1410. That's why we have to make everything we do now count.

1411. I'm chilling with my man Pac...

1412. - ... who schooled me to the game. - They know who it is.

1413. Now we about to wreak havoc on you motherfuckers, man.

1418. - Watch out! - Shit!

1419. In that one moment, I had that thought again:

1420. Dying would be better than dealing with this shit.

1421. I was leaving, and I was sitting in a hotel, and a voice said:

1422. "Do you see any niggas?" And I said, "No. "

1423. And it said, "You know why? Because there aren't any. "

1424. Yeah, I been here three weeks, I haven't even said it.

1425. I ain't gonna never call another black man "nigga"...

1426. Look at you. Your mama should have never let you out the house.

1436. I set some paper aside for you.

1437. I didn't do it for no payoff.

1438. If shit was reversed, I don't know how I could do that bid for you like that.

1439. Well, if shit was reversed...

1440. I don't know if I'd have been strong enough to make it.

1441. Making it?

1442. It ain't all it's cracked up to be. More money, more problems.

1443. - Beats the corner. - Guess so.

1451. You know...

1452. neither one of us had our fathers around to teach us how to be men.

1453. We were just learning as we was going along.

1454. But maybe making it ain't just about the shit you do on-stage.

1455. You a philosopher now?

1456. Man, I think everyone in the pen is a philosopher.
