All Eyes On Me
2Pac Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Big Syke, Newt, Hank, Beugard, Big Sir
Y'all know how this shit go
All eyes on me
Motherfuckin' OG
Roll up in the club and shit, is that right?
All eyes on me
All eyes on me
But you know what?

I bet you got it twisted, you don't know who to trust
So many player-hatin' niggas tryna sound like us
Say they ready for the funk, but I don't think they knowin'
Straight to the depths of Hell is where those cowards goin'
Well, are you still down? Nigga, holla when you see me
And let these devils be sorry for the day they finally freed me
I got a caravan of niggas every time we ride
Hittin' motherfuckers up when we pass by
Until I die, live the life of a boss player, 'cause even when I'm high
Fuck with me and get crossed later, the futures in my eyes
'Cause all I want is cash and thangs
A five-double-oh Benz, flauntin' flashy rings
Uhh, bitches pursue me like a dream
Been known to disappear before your eyes just like a dope fiend
It seems, my main thing was to be major paid
The game sharper than a motherfuckin' razor blade
Say money bring bitches, bitches bring lies
One nigga's gettin' jealous and motherfuckers die
Depend on me like the first and fifteenth
They might hold me for a second, but these punks won't get me
We got four niggas in low riders and ski masks
Screamin', "Thug Life" every time they pass, all eyes on me

Live the life of a thug nigga until the day I die
Live the life of a boss player 'cause even gettin' high
All eyes on me
All eyes on me
Live the life of a thug nigga until the day I die
Live the life of a boss player 'cause even gettin' high

Hey, to my nigga 'Pac

So much trouble in the world, nigga
Can't nobody feel your pain
The world's changin' every day, time's movin' fast
My girl said I need a raise, how long will she last?
I'm caught between my woman and my pistol and my chips
Triple beam, got some smokers on, whistle as I dip
I'm lost in the land with no plan, livin' life flawless
Crime boss, contraband, let me toss this
Needy hookers got a lot of nerve
Let my bucket swerve, I'm takin' off from the curb
The nervousness neglect make me pack a TEC
Devoted to servin' this Moët and pay checks
Like Akai satellite, nigga, I'm forever ballin'
It ain't right, parasites, triggers, and fleas crawlin'
Sucker, duck and get busted, no emotion
My devotion is handlin' my business, nigga, keep on coastin'
Where you goin', I been there, came back as lonely, homie
Steady flowin' against the grain, niggas still don't know me
It's about the money in this rap shit, this crap shit
It ain't funny, niggas don't even know how to act, shit
What can I do? What can I say? Is there another way?
Blunts and gin all day, 24 parlay
My little homie G, can't you see I'm buster-free?
Niggas can't stand me, all eyes on me

Live the life of a thug nigga until the day I die
Live the life of a boss player 'cause even gettin' high
All eyes on me
All eyes on me
Live the life of a thug nigga until the day I die
Live the life of a boss player 'cause even gettin' high
All eyes on me

The feds is watchin', niggas plottin' to get me
Will I survive? Will I die? Come on, let's picture the possibility
Givin' me charges, lawyers makin' a grip
I told the judge I was raised wrong and that's why I blaze shit
Was hyper as a kid, cold as a teenager
On my mobile, callin' big shots on the scene major
Packin' hundreds in my drawers, fuck the law
Bitches, I fuck with a passion, I'm livin' rough and raw
Catchin' cases at a fast rate, ballin' in the fast lane
Hustle 'til the mornin', never stopped until the cash came
Live my life as a thug nigga until the day I die
Live my life as a boss player, 'cause even gettin' high
These niggas got me tossin' shit
I put the top down, now it's time to floss my shit
Keep your head up, nigga, make these motherfuckers suffer
Up in the Benz, burnin' rubber
The money is mandatory, the hoes is for the stress
This criminal lifestyle, equipped with a bulletproof vest
Make sure your eyes is on the meal ticket, get your money
Motherfucker, let's get rich and we'll kick it, all eyes on me

Live the life of a thug nigga until the day I die
Live the life of a boss player 'cause even gettin' high
All eyes on me
All eyes on me
Live the life of a thug nigga until the day I die
Live the life of a boss player 'cause even gettin' high
All eyes on me
All eyes on me

Pay attention, my niggas! See how that shit go?
Nigga walk up in this motherfucker and it be like, "Bing"
Cops (live my life as a thug nigga until the day I die)
Bitches (live my life as a boss playa, 'cause even gettin' high)
Every-motherfuckin'-body, I got bustas, hoes, and police watchin' a nigga, you know?
(Live my life as a thug nigga until the day I die)
(Livin' life as a boss playa, 'cause even gettin' high) all eyes on me
He he he, it's like what they think
I'm walkin' around with some keys in my pocket or somethin'
They think I'm goin' back to jail, they really on that dope
(Live my life as a thug nigga until the day I die)
I know y'all watchin' (live my life as a boss playa)
I know y'all got me in the scopes (live my life as a thug nigga until the day I die)
I know y'all know this is Thug Life, baby (live my life as a boss playa, 'cause even gettin' high)




Y'all got me under surveillance, huh?
All eyes on me, but I'm knowin'

Overall Meaning

The song "All Eyez on Me" by Tupac Shakur, released posthumously in 1996, is an anthem for the life of a thug, a boss player, and an OG. Tupac is announcing his arrival and demanding attention as he raps about being rich, famous, and violent. At the same time, he acknowledges the dangers that come with being a public figure, especially for a black man in America. The lyrics start with a shout-out to his crew, Big Syke, Newt, Hank, Beugard, and Big Sir, and they set the scene for what’s to come. Tupac declares himself an OG, a motherfucking original gangster, and asserts his dominance in the club. However, he also warns that people often misunderstand him and his crew, and they don't know who they can trust.


The chorus, "All Eyes on Me," describes the phenomenon of constant surveillance that Tupac experienced. He knew that everyone was watching him, and he used this song to show that he was still in control. He repeats the phrase "Live the life of a thug until the day I die," which serves as a reminder of his past, present, and future as a street-smart black man. The second verse features an introspective reflection on Tupac's rap career, as he laments that "It's about the money in this rap shit." He talks about being caught between his woman, his gun, and his stack of cash. Still, despite the pressure, he remains committed to his lifestyle, continuing to hustle and chase after the money.


Overall, "All Eyez on Me" represents the complexity of Tupac's character and the dangers he faced as a public figure. It's a song about power, violence, and survival that continues to inspire new generations of rap fans.

2Pac was born 1971
He died 1996 add those numbers together
1971+1996=3967
Notorious BIG born 1972
Died 1997 add those numbers together
1972+1997=3969
Now take their totals and subtract em
3967-3969 = — 2
Now tell me is that coincidence??
I don’t think so , just shows we lost 2 of the greats ! If only BIG didn’t do 2Pac the way he did . Imagine 2Pac and BIG on tracks as Outlawz or Thug life before that wow , they would have own the RAP game and that was 2Pacs plan , Notorious Big for East side
2Pac Shakur for the West Side they would have own everyone , along with Outlaws and snoop dog with Dog Pound , the Dog father all on DEATH ROW. That was Pacs plan when he would perform and than stop his show and let BIG perform . And than BIG turned on him just like the snake Snoop , when he was inducting 2Pac into hall of fame, Pac would have been turning in his grave if he was in ! Anyways we could have had something special East/West side if only BIG didn’t do what he done !!!
