Dirty game refers what you dont know what goes on behind the scene. Nas is saying that life is a dangerous and dirty game and the moves that are played are not clean. Since the moves are not clean and morally objectionable, does any man who plays and wins deserve anything? Notice how artists such as Drake or 2chainz are selling millions while potent rappers who speak about true shit aren’t known. Being at the top is flawed like the system.

This is called selling your soul:

This line references DMX’s song “Slippin',” which appears earlier in this album.

Laying down the law. This time around Pac wont be spending money on her and giving her a bunch of sweet talk glib, which is what he means by “ass-kissing”, he’s going to get straight to the point.

Previously he did all sweet talk just to copulate, but now he has to be more aware of his surroundings. This is why he inherited his scandalous nature this verse. He also knows by ass kissing he’ll end up getting played, especially with money.

“This bitch’ll have ya wakin up with all your cash missin” is a euphemism for something major as in her bringing it to court and trying to win money from domestic violence charges, or something of that sort.

This type of woman put Tupac in jail for 11 months in 1995.

As Pac previously mentioned in this verse there wont be no bullshit. Him being “qualified to analyze” serves as a connection and reference to how he was affected by and how he observed the scandalous nature of women in the first verse.

Also by asking, he’s making sure he knows the circumstances and that he can lay down the law before he does anything with this woman. By analyze, which he is obviously qualified at, he’s observing this woman’s every word because she lies so much and he’s trying not to get screwed over.

Here Tupac pauses the track to analyze women and what their worth despite circumstances.
This line is scandalous because he considers this woman “precious” but she’s also a freak bitch so it doesn’t really bother him to approach her just for sex. These lines are purposely contradicting because a woman who is considered precious wouldn’t be the type you can approach for sex, but Tupac does it anyway which proves how scandalous he has become throughout this track.

This line implies though, that a lot of scandalous women are from poverty.

Another thing that’s seen in this line and through context, is that after Pac inherited and now plays his game scandalously himself, he is trying to look at women even through current scandalous times as something more now because he’s got awareness and confidence at this point of the song.

Huge twist and brilliant irony – now Tupac is scandalous! This is ironic because the whole song is mainly about scandalous women. This line is a causation of the scandalous woman, SHE’S the reason why he is now scandalous.

A “thug” defines someone who goes through everyday struggles. Many ignorant people use it in the wrong context.

Anyways, this line is an allusion that the everyday struggle Pac is talking about is the struggle of seeing hurt and pain all around you living in poverty.

A message he is trying to display here is that the youth that is raised in the ghetto is raised with no guidance or help which leaves them doing what they see around them. That is, people making money off of drug dealing, stealing, and crime. It’s a waste because less than 1 and a 100 make it far at all with that kind of life. In Pacs words, it’s a waste and this makes him sick.
