Lyrical content

In the song, Tupac speaks to his then-unborn child as a precaution for fear that he would not be able to meet or speak with them in the event of his death prior to their birth. Shakur relays stories of his own life and advises the child to avoid the troubles that he faced.[1]

Composition

The song samples Michael Jackson's 1987 hit "Liberian Girl" (from Bad, 1987), but is set at a higher tempo and features a female vocal backing track by Tena Jones (formerly of 4th Avenue Jones).[2]

«Letter 2 My Unborn» es un sencillo póstumo de 2Pac del álbum Until the End of Time. Contiene un video musical, pero no fue tan exitoso como el del anterior sencillo del álbum.

En la canción, 2Pac le dice a su hijo aún no nacido como vivió su vida y le aconseja no meterse en problemas.[2]
