The original version of “As the World Turns” from the Still I Rise album, featuring vocals from The Outlawz. Excluding Napoleon who isn’t featured on this particular version. 2Pac has a much longer outro where he announces his new conception for Makaveli Records, throws a small shot at Mobb Deep and asserts his dominance.

2Pac keeps up with his preaching style on this track with the recurring themes from previous songs from the album, Still I Rise. It deals particularly with themes of displacement and disenfranchisement. He serves as a voice of reason with his rap sermons rephrasing of notable biblical scriptures and addressing his young brothahood to embark on a path projected toward legitimacy and stability, opportunity and betterment in the urban sector and continuity of life.
