This song is about the realization of life. He realizes that his dad didn't teach him anything but making money. His mom taught him to fear god. He sees the way of life the world is living, and its hypocricy. He sees that if he keeps living this way, he could be damned. He doesn't want to die tonight, because he knows he is not ready. I don't know why he thinks Bible Prophecy is blasphemy, except that the guy preaching it seems not to realize the seriousness of the matter. To tupac, its a really big deal, and in my mind I think he thinks it should be preached in a way that is less simple and more understanding.
The key sentance is "As long as we're cooperating with God"...
He most likely believes that the gift of Jesus is grace, and he probably he given a lot of thought to that. How can it be a free gift, but yet always cooperate with god? Surely people are not perfect. And he is struggling with all of these concepts.
So this song is written in "rant" form. I have always liked it, its not a perfect song, but we as people are not perfect.
