[edit] Alive Theory

Theories of Tupac still being alive continue to be brought up every year, this track contains a suspicious line suggesting he still lives. The line is a hidden message included within "Pac's Life" when its played backwards. When the song begins, 19-20 seconds into it, you hear 2Pac saying "You should see me I'll be back". The line, may refer to Tupac coming back to the spotlight, after faking his death.
