The original transcriber did a great job with a difficult song, so I congratulate them for that.
Their version provide me with a largely accurate base, on which I've made some changes to key passages and, in my opinion, made the meaning of the song clearer and more consistent throughout.
So, I've submitted my slightly different transcription of the song above. Please note that: I used the explicit version for these lyrics.
Also note that there are three words in Dre's part where I was uncertain and placed alternatives (in brackets).
And I'd like to say that I think this is a brilliant piece of writing.
This song is destined to be a classic, studied by Literature students of the future.
It's so rich and meaningful and the imagery so vivid and real.
It's classic Storytelling: as Music: as Rap; at its finest, purest and most viscerally honest.
EVen the story itself is a genuine classical theme that's been told in countless other beautiful art forms since humans began making art - A pupil coming to the aid of a beloved teacher.
A sophisticatedly complex yet precisely pointed piece, if ever there was one. I love it.
Beautiful comment, you've opened my eyes to the depth of this song. I wouldn't have regarded it and I'm glad that now I won't disregard 'rap' music as being a less deep art form ever again.
