"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?..........."
