- Tupac cares, if don't nobody else care
- And uh, I know they like to beat ya down a lot
- When you come around the block, brothas clown a lot
- But please don't cry, dry your eyes, never let up
- Forgive but don't forget, girl, keep your head up
- And when he tells you you ain't nuttin' don't believe him
- And if he can't learn to love you, you should leave him
- 'Cause sista you don't need him
- And I ain't tryin' to gas ya up, I just call 'em how I see 'em (you don't need him)
- You know me makes me unhappy? (What's that?)
- When brothas make babies
- And leave a young mother to be a pappy (oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
