TuPac seems sorta proud of some young gang boyz, but is also smart enough to realize they are loose cannons (hence: "everybody ducking"), too young to touch guns, much less shoot 'em. There's a trace of melancholy there; the song points out what good thugz these kids are turning into, pretty much being the best option they might have in life. As a Big Homie, TuPac would be a mentor, proud of his handiwork, but sad about the inevitable outcome (niggaz gonna die tonight).
