“50” is of course referring to fellow Shady Records artist 50 Cent. In the music video for 50 Cent’s hit song “In Da Club” 50 is seen working out, doing very athletically strenuous exercises. This is not only parodied in the music video for this song, but also during Bizarre’s verse in the D12 song “My Band”.

Bizarre is (hence his name) very bizarre/weird. Not only is he overweight, but he is often wearing a shower cap over his head, which can be seen on the cover of the album this song is featured on, Hannicap Circus.

“Marshall” is referring to fellow D12 member Marshall Mathers AKA Eminem. Bizarre is jokingly addressing how Eminem is much more famous than himself (and the other members of D12) and is often considered the leader of D12 (This is the main theme of their song “My Band”). However, in this song, Bizarre is the new rockstar/band leader, and Eminem is the one no one cares about.

Previously unreleased, this song was released on the posthumous, diamond-certified, double-album Greatest Hits.

It’s possible this song is actually a subliminal diss to Nas. 2Pac felt Nas “stole” his beat when Nas used the same beat on “Street Dreams” that Pac used on “All Eyez on Me”. To get back at Nas, Pac used the same sample Nas used on “If I Ruled the World” on this song.

His intro to Troublesome 96' live at The House of Blues is further evidence of this theory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQX94PSnYU4

Understand I was a sheep refers to what Pac perceived as the duality within himself. He was one part ‘thug life’ and one part poetic revolutionary in search of peace and freedom for Africans oppressed by in every facet of America culture. Pac is expressing the paradox of his previous struggles to renounce thug life whilst refusing to bow down to his enemies.

He knows what he is doing will cause his death and is asking for God’s forgiveness, at the same time this life is such hell he is willing to risk life in hell because he isn’t the type to beg, he takes what he gets, and in this life he has nothing so nothing could possibly be worse than it, which is why he is willing to die and go to hell, because it can’t possibly be worse, and stating this openly with God as a confession. He then acknowledges to God that he is troublesome to the world because of this realization and his acknowledgement that it may not be the right thing to do, but that he sees no other choice.
