I think Tupac is talking about how is isn't mad at his homies who died, got sent to the pen or just got out the game. Friends who left him in general for either reason.

Tupac even says it at the end of the song in the video version: "for all the homeboys that passed away, all the homeboys locked in jail". And of course there was the first verse that was seemingly to Napolean.

The message he's basically trying to send out is that he isn't mad at everyone who left him alone in the game, either by dying, being locked up or just moving on. It would make sense since people get angry at someone they lose for leaving them, either through death or otherwise.

He's saying he understands how everyone gotta do what they gotta do and move on and that's just how things turned out. At the start he actually says "Changes, its all a part of growing up".

This is echoed on alot of other Pac songs where he raps about losing friends and being the last one left, but at the same time how's he's still a playa 4 life and will always ride.

R.I.P Mr Shakur You'll always be missed...
