^^^Your first line from "16 on Death Row", Pac says "Before I take your life, first lesson with these mics", I believe!
And from "Smile" I always thought he said "Hustling and hardly think of culture, or the repercussions while busting on back-stabbing vultures", I guess meaning being known to hustle but not helping the cause, that being taking away from culture fore' you'd rather contribute to it's downfall and torment it through the tales of drug dealing to make that money, but when it needs your assistance and for U to take a stand and be a leader U won't show your face, basically that and then some not wanting to recognize it for the beauty it could very well possess, all along culture just needs your help as much as want to escape try to change it to the best of your ability, therefore when U do achieve your goals of rising above that it could be somewhat that much better for the remaining folk to reside there even if they go back to their stubborn ways, at least U tried to make that change...remember just my take, my perception!
