All eyez on me
2Pac (Featuring Big Syke) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line 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

In the song All Eyez On Me by 2Pac featuring Big Syke, the song begins with the introduction of a few people who are at the club where the two rappers are. The chorus of the song is catchy, insisting that all eyes are on them when they enter the club. However, Tupac is aware that not everyone has good intentions towards him. He raps about how many people are trying to imitate them and want to be like them. Tupac is aware that he has enemies who want to bring him down, but he is confident in his abilities to take care of himself. He talks about his lifestyle and how he's focused on making money and living with extravagance.


The second verse is by Big Syke, who raps about the struggles of his life. He's caught in a dilemma between his girlfriend, his need for money, and his gun. He makes it clear that he's not taking any crap from anybody and will do anything for his survival. Syke also mentions how the police and people who want to get him are always watching him. The final verse by Tupac refers to his hustling lifestyle and the struggle to survive in a world where violence and greed prevail. Tupac says that he will keep hustling until he dies, and that's what makes him a boss. The chorus is repeated, indicating that Tupac and Big Syke are aware of their popularity and that all eyes are indeed on them.

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 !!!
