The man has pseudo-friends who constantly criticize his actions. They moralize him, "teach" him and advise him to make a significant change in his life, because the way he is and what he does is not what they say it should be. They may find his life lame or immoral. They hold themselves up as role models. The man replies that he will make his own choices and decisions and he does not agree to unconditionally make himself under the influence of questionable quality advice. He justifies this by saying that there is always someone for whom he will be important, no matter what he does and no matter what he is. Although it is not said directly, I read it as meaning that he will always be important to himself in every way and he will always have his own support.
"Everyone is different and maybe that's a good thing, but you exceeded that mark 1000 times" - I remember very well how sad the words I once heard (from my peers and it was in negative context) at school made me feel.
Yer gonna have t'sit there and drink yer cup of muddy water
Yer gonna have t'let the blood dry on yer hands
Ask yer mama t'knit you a blanket from Esau's thigh
Cause yer gonna have t'learn t'be lowly and wise
And you can't tell me it sits alright with you
Gangsta lean gansta lean you done killed them all
Gangsta lean gangsta lean you done killed them
You got Beelzebub in yer little toe You got death on yer dry tung
You got to live alone you got to pray alone
Just like the people bone that you shatter
and you can't tell me it doesnÕt bother you
Gangsta lean gangsta lean you done killed them all
Gangsta lean gangsta lean you done killed them
Yer life's a melody and yer life's a rhapsody
possessing the dark skin with romance
It's not a mystery when you know the history
Of east coast and west coast killa's
And you can't tell me it doesn't bother you
Gangsta lean gangsta lean you done killed them all
Gangsta lean gangsta lean you done killed them
Yer gonna have t'let the blood dry on yer hands
Ask yer mama t'knit you a blanket from Esau's thigh
Cause yer gonna have t'learn t'be lowly and wise
And you can't tell me it sits alright with you
Gangsta lean gansta lean you done killed them all
Gangsta lean gangsta lean you done killed them
You got Beelzebub in yer little toe You got death on yer dry tung
You got to live alone you got to pray alone
Just like the people bone that you shatter
and you can't tell me it doesnÕt bother you
Gangsta lean gangsta lean you done killed them all
Gangsta lean gangsta lean you done killed them
Yer life's a melody and yer life's a rhapsody
possessing the dark skin with romance
It's not a mystery when you know the history
Of east coast and west coast killa's
And you can't tell me it doesn't bother you
Gangsta lean gangsta lean you done killed them all
Gangsta lean gangsta lean you done killed them
