Can't C Me
2Pac Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The blind stares
Of a million pairs of eyes
Lookin' hard but won't realize
That they will never see
The P

(You must be goin' blind)
Give me my money in stacks
And lace my bitches with nine figures
Real niggas fingers on nickel plated nine triggas
Must see my enemies defeated
I catch 'em
While they coked up and weeded
Open fire
Now them niggas bleedin'
See me in flesh
And test
And get your chest blown
Straight out the west, don't get blown
My adversaries cry like hoes
Open and shut like doors
Is you a friend or foe?
Nigga, you ain't know?
They got me stressed out on Death Row
I've seen money
But baby, I got to gets mo'
You scream and go
2Pac
And I ain't stoppin'
'Til I'm well paid
Bails paid
Now nigga, look what hell made
Visions of cops and sirens
Niggas open fire
Bunch of Thug Life niggas on the rise
Until I die
Ask me why I'm a boss player gettin' high
And when I'm rollin' by
Niggas can't see me

The stares of a million pairs of eyes
And you'll never realize
You can't see me

Been gettin' word that these square motherfuckers with nerves
Sayin' they can get with us
But picture me gettin' served
My own mama say I'm thugged out
My shit be bumpin' out the record store
As if it was a drug house
My lyrics bang like a Crip or Blood
Nigga, what?
It ain't nothin' but a party when we thug
And there I was
A young nigga with heart
Ain't had shit to lose
Pullin' my pistol on them fools
You know the rules
D-R-E, you got me heated
My words like a penitentiary dick
Hittin' bitches where it's most needed
Money and weed
Alizé and Hennessy
To my Thug niggas in lock down
Witness me
Bail on these hoe's in floss mode
The life of a boss player
Fuck what you thought though
My enemies deceased
Die like a bitch
When my album hit the streets
Niggas can't see me

Niggas can't see me

(Y'all niggas especially)
(Niggas can't see me)
Which way did he go George?
Which way did he go? (oh)
Which way did he go?
Which way did he go?

You niggas made a mistake
You should've never put my rhymes with Dre
Them Thug niggas have arrived and it's Judgement Day
Hey homie, if ya feel me
Tell them tricks that shot me
That they missed
They ain't killed me
I can make a motherfucka shake
Rattle and roll
I'm full of liquor
Thug nigga
Quick to jab at them hoes
And I can make you jealous niggas famous
Fuck around with 2Pac and see how good a niggas aim is
I'm just a rich motherfucka from the way
If this rappin' bring me money
Then I'm rappin' 'til I'm paid
I'm gettin' green like I'm supposed to
Nigga, I holla at these hoes
And see how many I can go through
Look to the star
And visualize my debut
Niggas know me, playa
I gotta stay true
Don't be a dumb motherfucka
Because it's crazy after dark
Where the true thug niggas see your heart
Niggas can't see me

Yo, check this out, stay off his dick

(Niggas can't see me)
Right before your eyes, I'll disappear from here (you niggas can't see me, hahaha)
You can't see me
(I know it's hard, nigga, I'm all up in your face)
(But you still can't see me)
You can't see me
(All up in your range, but niggas can't see me)
20/20 vision won't visualize
(I'm in the flesh baby, but you can't see me)
All those glasses won't help you realize
(You blinded, you blinded, you can't see me)
You can't see me
(Thug Life, baby)
(Don't believe everything you read)
(Alizé and weed)
You can't see me, right before your very eyes
You won't even visualize
Right before your very eyes (you can't see me)
You won't even visualize
(Dr. Dre all day, 2Pac)(you can't see me)
Niggas can't see me, hahahahaha
(I dedicate this to you punk motherfuckas, hahahah)
(This one's for you, BIG baby, hahahaha)
('Cause you bitch-ass niggas can't see me)
(Niggas can't see me)
Oh, oh, you can't see me

(You can't see)
See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil
You won't see me
Yeah (you can't see me)
First, see me, now you don't
Wanna see me, but you won't
Come to see me, but you can't
Oh, you can't see me, you can't see me (you can't, you can't see me)
Right between your eyes and you'll never realize




Right before your eyes, you won't even realize (you can't, you can't see me)
Visualize what you can't see (you can't, you can't see me)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Can't C Me" by 2Pac feat. George Clinton mainly center on the theme of being unseen or unknown to the public. The phrase "The blind stares of a million pairs of eyes" highlights how people can look at a person without truly understanding them or their journey. The song talks about Tupac's desire for money, his hatred towards his enemies, and his status as a boss player as he is determined to be successful. He speaks of a party atmosphere and the rules of the street while also acknowledging the dangers of living that lifestyle by mentioning his enemies using drugs and being killed.


Tupac uses clever wordplay and metaphors in the song to convey his message. He uses the metaphor "Money and weed, Alizé and Hennessy" to describe how he deals with his problems in a nonchalant way. This reflects Tupac's tendencies to mask his inner pain through alcohol and drug abuse. Overall, the song serves as a reminder of Tupac's iconic image as a gangsta rapper with his crafted rhymes and delivery.

r u still down (double)
until the end of time (double)
euthanasia was the chain he rocked at the MGM Las Vegas.
that was his next move...
suge wasn't having any of it..
it was murder
it was a set up
it essentially diluted hip hop
from the real
to what it is now. which is pop.
okay underground is always underground.
you know what I'm saying.
