Gotta be one of the deepest and dopest tracks I've ever heard. and then he recites his Rose that grew from concrete poem at the end. Pac just hits different.

Definitely deserved a release on one of those posthumous albums.. they could of even fixed it up more and made it better like a "Baby Don't Cry" level which was a great song and lead single from that near classic Still I Rise album.
I think the O.G. "Play Your Cards" is probably my favorite Pac track that never made it out. They had to remix it and what was released sounded horrible... I guess they couldn't get sample clearance. It might even be KC and JoJo on the hook but I'm not sure. Features probably the best Outlawz versus they ever did.

"It's 7:30 in 1990 scene
my reincarnation steps in
born into a world that don't love itself
but loves it's wealth
Listen hear little nigga
if you don't listen to nothing else
See life ain't nothing but a game
but a gamble...
The other great track I don't think Pac ever released in any form was "You Can't Fade Me" and it's a lot like "Play Your Cards" in fact it came out on the same bootleg I got in summer 98' which had so many great unreleased joints on it, but again the issue must of been sample clearances. It uses the same beat as D'Angelo's 95' banger "Lady" and Pac even brags about taking his beat on the track.

^^This joint it's like Pac and a young Napolean going toe to toe, givin up game, and Pac training his young apprentice. Pac's like, "not bad Napolean (Mutah) but I'm gonna show you how it's really done"...
These tracks are gems of the Pac canon.. timeless jewels
