These lines are reminiscent of Mark 1 and other Biblical descriptions of Jesus inviting people to follow him and learn from him so they can teach the future generations about the kingdom of God (Mark 1:14-20).
The juxtaposition of these Elton John lyrics with 2Pac saying “my ghetto gospel”, places ‘Pac in the role of Jesus Christ reaching out to people, hoping they will learn from him and use it for the betterment of mankind. The cover of this album shows 2Pac looking down through a window, presumably from heaven, dressed all in white.
‘Pac knew he was bound to pass from this Earth eventually, but did not feel he was in a position to instill good into the world; although it was his hope that he could inspire others to do better by sharing his thoughts and experiences. Like Jesus, his teachings are timeless and are passed on to the world and the future only because of apostles like Eminem (who produced this and many other post-humous 2Pac tracks), Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre (who knew him and were behind the Coachella hologram), and his family (who were very involved in documentaries like “Resurrection” and other post-humous releases).

B.G. means “Baby Gangsta”, a spin-off of “O.G.” or “Original Gangsta” – likely a pejorative reference to Eazy-E’s diminutive stature.
This is also probably a shot at Eazy’s boy B.G. Knocc Out, who stuck with Ruthless after Dre left, most notably appearing on “Real Muthaphukkin' G’s” with Eazy-E and Gangsta Dresta, dissing Dre and Snoop, which came out afterwards.
B.G. knocc Out didn’t roll with Ruthless until after Real Muthaphukkin G’s

I completely agree that this was not about BG Knocc Out as he did not come around until 1993 and thus Dr. Dre did not know about him as Knocc Out explains in the interview posted in the suggestion by Snoopi3. This line is saying that Eazy-E is not a legitimate OG (Original Gangsta) by calling him the less higher ranking of BG (Baby Gangsta) because of how he sided with Ruthless’s manager Jerry Heller instead of his homies from N.W.A. when they told him about how Jerry was ripping them off.

Could also mean the beef with Dangerous Records, Tweedy Bird Loc
It’s not that they turned their backs on him he turned his back on them with the help of Jerry Heller. He let the fame and the talks with Jerry go to his head and he became the biggest hot head in rap. Listen to some cube cuz.

B.G. Knoccout and Gangsta Dresta were just friends of Eazy-E. They were actually signed to Def Jam and thus had awkward Christmas dinners as Russel Simmons house with Warren G during the height of the Deathrow and Ruthless Beef.
So This line actually disses Eazy E and calls him a Baby Gangsta because all his friends turned their backs on him.
