Tupac: Right, they executed him and I was out there when I did the show. The gang was in the fuckin' audience, the whole gang had like bought out the stadium.
Sanyika: Damn!
Tupac: So I'm rappin' to the niggas that just killed this little kid.
Sanyika: Oh!
Tupac: And they all screamin' out "Thug Life". I felt bad. Like, what it is, this, they got it twisted.
Sanyika: Yeah.
Tupac: So I started cursin' them niggas out like "Y'all niggas is cowards. Y'all niggas cowards. Y'all killed that kid. Y'all niggas is punks, man. I hate all of you."

[Sanyika laughs]
Tupac: Them niggas started throwin' shit [?] in the stadium (Word!, Damn!)
Tupac: It was tough, man. The whole gang toured the whole neighborhood but then I started gettin' letters from that area where all, like, the mothers, the girls was writin' me like "Thank you for doing that 'cause everybody scared of these niggas". See, that's what I want to do.
Sanyika: That's right.
Tupac: If these gang niggas ain't gon' get straight, then I wanna take 'em out the game.
Sanyika: That's real.
Tupac: 'Cause if they don't, it's making trouble on us, you kna'mean?
