"Hail Mary" is a song by American rapper Tupac Shakur from his fifth studio album, The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory (1996).

The song captures Tupac zoning out the violence and negativity surrounding him praying to God, and making biblical references.

It shows a fictionalized version of a unseen Tupac coming back as a ghost and getting revenge on the gang members who killed him ‡ Sales+streaming figures based on certification alone.

The song was played when Jody, the lead, had a dream about being gunned down by the police or being locked up in prison with his girlfriend and son visiting him.
