For me this song is about what the ghetto and society does to you, and how absurd it is when it happens at such a young age. But the thing that's special for me is that he doesn't preach to kids by simply saying stop doing it, its not good etc. He's illustrating that he can't really do much about it, because its the system, so all he can do is to tell them to play their part and watch out (last part when he's talking). three mistakes, then that's life... Pac was the realest.
