Only God Can Judge Me

The line above explains Tupac as a person pretty good, and together with the famous "Fuck all y'all" you've got a pretty good view of Tupac.
The song Only God Can Judge Me begin with this:

Only God Can Judge Me
(is that right)
Nobody else, Nobody else
All you other muthafuckas
Get out of my business

 

Tupac means that the only one that can judge him is God, but I'm pretty sure that he knew what impact his music had on others. Tupac wanted to live his own life and he didn’t want anyone to tell him what to do:

I don't see why everybody feel as thou that they gotta tell me how to live my
life (you know)
Let me live baby
Let me live

 

Tupac never cared about what others said which led to that people both hated and loved him, and of the people that thought Tupac had a too large mouth many said that he "got what he deserved" when he died. Even if Tupac always said that he would die before he became thirty he didn’t change his lifestyle, which some people claim to be the main reason of his dead. But I don’t know if you can blame Tupac's living to be his death?
In that case you could say that Malcolm X should have changed his way of living too, or Martin Luther King, or Jesus or... As you may notice these people lived for what they thought was right and if they would have change their way of living because of fear they wouldn’t be the same persons. You are what you believe in!
How would it be if Jesus gave up his talking about being the Messiah because he knew it was dangerous? Think what easy it would be for the Jews if they stopped believing in their religion and changed their view on life, then 6-10 millions would have died a natural death instead of being killed. The Jews have them self to blame! Is my discussion about the Jews right? Of course not, but I'm just trying to make a pararell to Tupac's living. Like it or not....

How did it come to this?
I wish they didnt't miss
somebody help me
Tell me where to go from here?
Cuz even thugs cry
But do the Lord care?
