«Do for Love» (originalmente titulado "Sucka 4 Luv") es el segundo sencillo póstumo de 2Pac de su álbum R U Still Down? (Remember Me). El sample vocal proviene de la canción "What You Won't Do for Love" de Bobby Caldwell y del remix de "Y?" de The Pharcyde, tema producido por J Dilla y productor omitido en los créditos de "Do for Love". La canción alcanzó el puesto #21 en la Billboard Hot 100. El video musical muestra a Tupac como una figura de arcilla y un personaje de una historieta. La canción también utiliza una cita de Sir Walter Scott ("O, what a tangled web we weave").
