Hova already made enough money off drug dealing that he came into the rap game “100 grand strong”, as he’d later reveal in “U Don’t Know” and in Decoded.

I came into this motherfucker a hundred grand strong

During an interview with Howard Stern Jay speaks about his drug dealing past. Howard asks him if he was a good hustler, and Jay replies “The best!”

2Pac never had a child during his life even though he really wanted one, this happened due to a lot of factors; he was often busy writing new songs in the studio, shooting videos and touring, so the time he could dedicate to his family would’ve been really small and maybe he didn’t want to be yet another absent father. Another possibility is that he might was not biologically able to have kids.

Between all these doubts we have a guarantee, this song. He wrote it in the form of a letter dedicated to his child, a child that never existed. And even if Keisha, his wife, would’ve got pregnant after the release of the track 2Pac knew that in the short 9 months of his child’s gestation he could’ve very well get killed because of his lifestyle and the people he had to deal with, so he wanted to leave this track as some sort of last will, something from which the child could’ve learned something about his father.
