I think this song really sends a message about the world.
(verse one)
Come on come on I see no changes wake up in the morning and I
ask myself is life worth living should I blast myself? I'm tired of bein'
poor & even worse I'm black my stomach hurts so I'm lookin' for a purse
to snatch Cops give a damn about a negro pull the trigger kill a nigga
he's a hero Give the crack to the kids who the hell caresone less hungry
mouth on the welfare First ship 'em dope & let 'em deal the
brothers give 'em guns step back watch 'em kill each other It's time to
fight back that's what Huey said 2 shots in the dark now Huey's dead I got
love for my brother but we can never go nowhere unless we share with each
other We gotta start makin' changes learn to see me as a brother instead
of 2 distant strangers and that's how it's supposed to be How can the
Devil take a brother if he's close to me? I'd love to go back to when we
played as kids but things changed, and that's the way it is
ALBUM:All Eyes On Me SONG:California Love YEAR:1996
[Verse Two:
Tupac] Out on bail fresh outta jail, California dreamin Soon as I
stepped on the scene, I'm hearin hoochies screamin Fiendin for money and
alcohol the life of a west side playa where cowards die Only in Cali where
we riot not rally to live and die In L.A. we wearin Chucks not Ballies
(that's right) Dressed in Locs and khaki suits and ride is what we
do Flossin but have caution we collide with other crews Famous cause we
program worldwide Let' em recognize from Long Beach to Rose Grands Bumpin
and grindin like a slow jam, it's west side So you know the row won't bow
down to no man Say what you say But give me that bomb beat from Dre
Let me serenade the streets of L.A. From Oakland to Sacktown The Bay
Area and back down Cali is where they put they mack down Give me
love!
Actaully, he nevers contadicts himself. Like he said in his movie, he raps about what he sees everyday. In Keep Ya Head Up he raps about the strong black women, in how do you want it he sings about hoes. So what he's saying is that women should get more respect, unless they are bad women, which is obvious. On the other hand he can diss, lsiten to this diss of Dre:
Do you want me what's your phone number, I get around
Cali Love to my true Thugs, picture me now
Still down for that Death Row sound, searchin for paydays
No longer Dre Day, arrivederci
Blown and forgotten, rotten for plottin Child's Play
Check your sexuality, as fruity as this Alize
Quick to jump ship, punk trick, what a dumb move
Cross Death Row, now who you gon' run to?
Lookin for suckers cause you similar
Pretendin to be hard, oh my God, check your temperature
Screamin Compton, but you can't return, you ain't heard
Brothers pissed cause you switched and escaped to the burbs
Mob on to this new era, cause we Untouchable
Still can't believe that you got 'Pac rushin you
Up in you, bless the real, all the rest get killed
Who can you trust, only time reveals -- toss it up!

no he DOESN'T contradict himslef . In the two songs, he raps about two different types of women, if both songs were just about women in general, yes he'd be contradicting himself, but hes not.
