What song lyrics did Pac copy?

[DeeezNuuuts83]

I was thinking about this the other day and I realize that Pac didn't do it that often, but what song lyrics did Pac copy or twist and use in his own lyrics? I'm not talking about him dropping song titles in his verses or interpolating someone else's chorus (like how he mimicked the "Player's Anthem" chorus for "Hit 'Em Up"), but actual lyrics from verses, such as:

"Two years ago, a friend of mine
Asked me to say some MC rhymes"
- Run-D.M.C., "Sucker MCs"

became

"Two years ago, a friend of mine
Told me Alize and Cristal blows your mind"
- 2Pac, "Got My Mind Made Up"

Are there any others?

Pac wrote that song for Hammer...or so it's been said

^ Seeing how Pac has penned lyrics for Hammer, I'm going to say that Pac was the originator of the actual Unconditional Love lyrics.

Anyone else?

He also says the exact Slick Rick line in Lost Souls.

Right, but that is a chorus. I'm asking for verses re-using other rappers' lyrics or whatever. I purposely left out interpolated choruses because that would account for a shitload of songs, most of which probably already credit the original song and chorus in the liner notes--No More Pain included.

Well, this probably isn't exactly what you mean but in N.I.G.G.A. Pac uses the phrase "No justice, no peace''. This obviously is a reference to the dito rally cry from the Rodney King riots and that phrase was based on that Equal Rights/Downpressor Man song by Peter Tosh. That song was like the anthem for the riots and Peter Tosh said: "I don't want peace, I want equal rights and justice for my brothers" or something along those lines. So, in a way, Pac quoted Peter Tosh. But I guess this is a little far-fetched and off-topic.
