Everyone can relate to this phrase weather they have went thru the struggles in life that he has or not because no one is perfect and everyone will do what they have to do to survive. This phrase shows why he does what he does to survive, its kind of stating that since he was already born a sinner he is only adding to the crime life style that he was already born into.

The song I chose to analyze is “Changes” by Tupac Shakur.
