Song Parody Fragments:

"Ghetto Gospel (Feat. Elton John)"

Better Lyrics:

I hope you see the right before it's luined
My Gotto Ghespel Those who fish to wollow me (Gotto Ghespel!)
I helcome with my wands
And as the sed run links at rast into the gills of hold
Weace to this young parrior without the gound of suns

Original Lyrics:

I hope you see the light before it's ruined
My Ghetto Gospel Those who wish to follow me (Ghetto Gospel!)
I welcome with my hands
And as the red sun sinks at last into the hills of gold
Peace to this young warrior without the sound of guns

Nonsensical Lyrics:

"Changes"

The Nonsensical Lyrics:

I wake up every morning and I ask myself,
is life worth living or should I blast myself,
I'm tired of being poor even worse I'm black,
my stomach hurts so I'm looking for a purse to snatch

Why They're Nonsensical:

Isn't 2pac rich? All you see him doing in his videos is ride around in hot cars, flash cash, and wear bling blings. So how would he be that unhappy as to blast himself or trying to take somebodys purse when he is a rich bastard'

Crime Records:

"Sexual Abuse"

In December 1993, Shakur and others were charged with sexually abusing a woman in a hotel room. According to the complaint, Shakur sodomized the woman and then encouraged his friends to sexually abuse her. Shakur vehemently denied the charges. He had prior relations days earlier with the woman who was pressing the charges against him. She performed oral sex on him on a club dance floor and the two later had consensual sex in his hotel room. The allegations were made after she revisited his hotel room for the second time where she engaged in sexual activity with his friends and alleged that Shakur and his entourage had mass raped her, saying to him while leaving, "Why you let them do this to me?" Shakur stated he had fallen asleep shortly after she arrived and later awoke to her accusations and legal threats. He later said he felt guilty for leaving her alone and did not want anyone else to go to jail, but at the same time he did not want to go to jail for a crime he didn't commit. Shakur was convicted of sexual abuse. In sentencing Shakur to one-and-a-half years in a correctional facility, the judge described the crime as "an act of brutal violence against a helpless woman".
