I’m just as guilty for not doing anything as I am for doing things. Not
with case (the 1994 sexual abuse conviction), but just my life. I was so
scared of this responsibility that I was running away from it. But I
see now that whether I show up for work or not, the evil forces are
going to be at me. They’re going to come 100 percent.

Reality is wrong. Dreams are for real.

I believe that everything that you do bad comes back to you. So everything that I do that’s bad, I’m going to suffer from it. But in my mind, I believe what I’m doing is right. So I feel like I’m going to heaven.

Imperfection is inherited, therefore we all sin, but fighting the war of sin is thegreatest war of all because we all die in the end no matter how hard we fight.

We talk a lot about Malcom X and Martin Luther King JR, but It’s time to be like them, as strong as them. They were mortal men like us and everyone of us can be like them. I don’t want to be a role model. I just want to be someone who says, this is who i am, this is what i do. I say what’s on my mind.
2pac Shakur
The only thing America respects is power and power concedes nothing. After the LA Riots, they tried to calm us down and nothing changed since.
2pac Shakur
I am societies child, this is how they made me, and now im sayin what’s on my mind and they dont want that. This is what you made me America.
2pac Shakur
Though are hands are chained like they are, they haven’t taken music from us yet. So that’s how I’ll fight. People tell me don’t quit like everyone else. I wont have no fear.
2pac Shakur
The only thing that comes to a sleeping man is dreams.
2pac Shakur
The american dream wasn’t meant for me, cause lady liberty’s a hypocrite she lied to me, promised me freedom, education, and equality never gave me nothing but slavery but now look at how dangerous you made me callin me a mad man because im strong and bold.
2pac Shakur
Let me say for the record, I am not a gangster and never have been. Im not the thief who grabs your purse. Im not the guy who jacks your car. Im not down with the people who steal and hurt others. Im just a brother who fight back.
2pac Shakur
Let the Lord judge the criminals.

2pac Shakur
I never thought I was the best rapper the best nothing’. I think I’m the realist nigga out there
2pac Shakur
People might be, like, “This niggas conceited,” but fuck it. I feel like I shine. And I don’t give a fuck how many white people, the Media, black people, playa haters, police, whoever, try to darken my shine, Im’a always shine through
2pac Shakur
All I can say is I always try to be a real nigga in my heart. Sometimes its good, sometimes it’s bad; but its still us. Its never to hurt anybody
2pac Shakur
I truly believe I’ve been blessed by God, and God walks with me
2pac Shakur
If you walked by a street and you was walking a concrete and you saw a rose growing from concrete, even if it had messed up petals and it was a little to the side you would marvel at just seeing a rose grow through concrete. So way is it that when you see some ghetto kid grow out of the dirtiest circumstance and he can talk and he can sit across the room and make you cry, make you laugh, all you can talk about is my dirty rose, my dirty stems and how am leaning crooked to the side, u can’t even see that I’ve come up from out of that
2pac Shakur
We are in the midst of a very dangerous, non-productive, self-destructive civil war. And it’s not just rap shit. It’s ideals. And this rap shit is just bringin’ it to a head. The East Coast believe one thing, and the West Coast believer one thing. The East Coast got one way of life, the West Coast got another wayof life, it always co-existed. We’re coming to the turn of the century where we gotta mash together. But we can only do it one way, one style. And that’s what we’re trying to figure out now, and I think the world is watching that.
2pac Shaku
I smoke blunt to take the pain out and if I wasn’t high I’d probably blow my brains out.

America, America, America, I charge you with the crime of rape, murder, and assault.

2pac Shakur
My Mama used to tell me if u can’t find somethin to live for, you best find somethin to die for.
2pac Shakur
I don’t bang for the color or the land. I bang for the principles and for the honor. I’m bangin’ for the Westside- this is in my heart, this is how I feel.
2pac Shakur
I was the truest nigga involved in Biggie’s success.
2pac Shakur
Biggie is not a playa. He’s never been. He’s never had bitches until he got some fuckin’ money. That’s a trick-that’s not a playa.
2pac Shakur
Everything he wanna have-I got.
2pac Shakur
Biggie forgot. The same shit that made him wanna kick it with me is the same shit that’s whoopin’ his ass right now.
2pac Shakur
I said it in the beginning. That I was gonna take them niggaz out the game and sure enough I will. Already people can’t look at Biggie and not laugh.
2pac Shakur
Can’t nobody touch me right now. Maybe next month all of this will be over. But this month I’m takin’ every movin’ target out.
2pac Shakur
Stole my lyrics. I stole his bitch. Took my rhymes. I took his wife. If he talk all that shit about being a playa and I got his wife two days after I got outta jail- imagine that gangsta shit he’s talking, imagine how plastic that shit is.
2pac Shakur

I heard a rumor I died Murdered in cold blood dramatized Pictures of me in my final state You know mama cried But that was fiction Some coward got the story twisted Like I no longer existed Mysteriously missin’ I’m known worldwide baby I ain’t hard to find
2pac Shakur
And the raps that I’m rappin to my community shouldn’t be filled with rage? They shouldn’t be filled with same attrocities that they gave me? The media they don’t talk about it, so in my raps I have to talk about it, and it seems foreign because there’s no one else talking about it.”

There ain’t nothin’ like a Black woman.
2pac Shakur
I’m not the king. I’m not the teacher or nothing like that, but I feel like I don’t have no peers. l’ve been out les than a year, convicted of allegations that usually end niggas careers. Shot five times in the nuts and the head. I came out and in less than a fuckin’ year and outsold Biggie almost three times. I sold more records than his whole fuckin’ label.
2pac Shakur
I’m gonna change the rules in the rap game. You know, how, like politics, the Republicans are in now; well, I represent that style; I’m the new nigga, I’ma shake up the whole Congress, by puttin’ out a double-album-that nobody ever did-I had the most expensive album on the Charts…and I outsold everyone of them muthafuckas. And I did it in two months.
2pac Shakur
Thug Life hit me like the Holy ghost. Thug Life hit me like the Holy ghost
2pac Shaku
To me, I feel that my game is strong. I feel as thought I’m a shining prince, just like Malcolm, and I feel that all of us are shining princes, and if we live like princes, then whatever we want can be ours. Anything.
2pac Shakur
Sheddin tears, reminiscin on my past fears Cause shit was hectic for me last year It appears that I’ve been marked for death, my heartless breath The underlying cause of my arrest, my life is stressed And no rest forever weary, my eyes stay teary for all the brothers that are buried in the cemetery
2pac Shakur
My music is not for everyone. It’s only for the stong-willed, the [street] soldiers music. It’s not like party music- I mean, you could gig to it, but it’s spiritual. My musi is spiritual. It’s like Negro spiituals, except for the fact that I’m not saying ‘We shall Overcome.’ I’m saying that we are overcome.
2pac Shakur
I remember crying all the time. My major thing growing up was I couldn’t fit in. Because I was from everywhere, I didn’t have no buddies that I grew up with…Every time I had to go to a new apartment, I had to reinvent myself, myself. People think just because you born in the ghetto you gonna fit in. A little twist in your life and you don’t fit in no matter what. If they push you out of the hood and the White people’s world, that’s criminal…Hell, I felt like my could be destroyed at any moment.
2pac Shakur
The real tragedy is that there are some ignorant brothers out here. That’s why I’m not on this all-White or all Black shit. I’m on this all-real or all fake shit with people, whatever color you are. Because niggaz will do you. I mean, there’s some [foul] niggaz out there [in the streets]; the same niggaz that did Malcolm X, the same niggaz that did Jesus Christ- every brother ain’t a brother. They will do you. So just because it’s Black, don’t mean it’s cool. And just because it’s White don’t mean it’s evil.
2pac Shakur
To me, it reall y troubling because I took ouver at that’s successful- Marky Mark, Hammer, Vanilla Ice, New Kids On The Block selling twenty-two million copies, and I want that [kind of success] so badly, but I can’t do that. I would be wrong to do that, knowing what I know and having the brain that I have, for me to even go and write some simple shit would be wrong even though I would get paid and I would get more people’s money. I would rather leave something so that when people pick up 2pacalypse Now or any of my other albums in 1999, they’ll go, Damn! Brothers had it hard back in the day, but brother were working it out.
2pac Shakur
Dangerous and ambitious while schemin’ on gettin’ riches. I’m spittin’ at tricks cuz I’m addicted to pretty bitches. Currency motivated, not easily terminated, Now that we made it, my niggaz can never be faded. This is my prophecy, I gotta be paid All you cowards that try to stop me is beggin’ for early graves I thought we was cool I was a fool. Thinkin’ you could be true, when I don’t fuck with your punk crew
2pac Shakur
Now on this ride there’s gonna be some real muthafuckas and there is gonna be some pussies. Now the real niggaz are gonna be the ones with money and bitches The pussies are gonna be the niggaz on the floor bleedin’. Now everybody keep you eyez on the prize cuz the ride gets tricky See you got some niggaz on your side That say they your friends but in real life they your enemies And then you got some muthafuckas that say they your enemies But in real life those niggaz will be the snitches It’s a dirty game ya’ll Ya’ll gotta be careful about who you fuck with and who you don’t fuck with Cuz the shit get wild ya’ll Keep your mind on your riches baby Keep your mind on your riches.
2pac Shakur
If you know in this hotel room they have food every day and I knock on the door. Every day they open tha door to let me see tha party, let me see that they throwin’ salami, throwin’ food around telling me there’s no food. Every day. I’m standing outside tryin to sing my way in- “We are weak, please let us in. We’re week, please let us in.” After about a week tha song is gonna change to, “We’re hungry, we need some food.” After two, three weeks it’s like “Give me some of tha food! I’m breakin down tha door.” After a year it’s like, “I’m pickin’ the lock, comin’ through the door blastin.” It’s like, “I’m hungry.” You reached your level, you don’t want any more. We asked ten years ago, we were askin’ with the Panthers, we were askin’ in the Civil Rights Movement. Now those who were askin’ are all dead or in jail, wo what are we gonna do? And we shouldn’t be angry!?
2pac Shakur

Don’t shed a tear for me, nigga I ain’t happy here, I hope they bury me and send me to my rest, headlines reading murdered to death, my last breath.
2pac Shakur
Mama raised a hellraiser why cry, That’s just life in the ghetto, do or die.
2pac Shakur
My raps are a decision, rabble rousing, spiritual, like gospel music. I don’t want to dance. We have so many things to deal with, we need to talk straight up and down.
2pac Shakur
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.
2pac Shakur
I believe that everything you do bad comes back to you. So everything that I do that’s bad, I’m going to suffer for it. But in my heart, I believe what I’m doing in my heart is right. So I feel like I ‘m going to heaven.
2pac Shakur
Our unborn never got to grow, never got to see what’s, next, In this world full of countless threats.

2pac Shakur
Walked in the store what’s everybody staring at, They act like they never seen a mutha fucker wearing black, Following a nigga and shit, Ain’t this a bitch, All I wanted was some chips.

We ain’t meant to survive, cause it’s a setup, And even though you’re fed up, Huh, ya got to keep your head up.

As far as jealousy, being a celebrity, No matter who committed the crime, they all yell at me. And the media is greedier than most. You could sell em your soul and they’ll be on ya till a nigga’s a ghost. And everyday I read the paper, there’s another lie. They show my picture for the crimes of another guy.

I’m in jail now, but I’m free. My mind is free. The only time I have problems is when I sleep.
2pac Shakur
That which does not kill me can only make me stronger.
2pac Shakur
If we really are saying that rap is an art form, then we got to be more responsible for our lyrics. If you see everybody dying because of what you are saying, it dont matter that you didnt make them die, it just matters that you didnt save them.
2pac Shakur
But I see now that whether I show up for work or not, the evil forces are going to beat me. They’re going to come 100 percent, so if I dont be 100 percent pure-hearted, I’m going to lose. And thats why I’m losing.
2pac Shakur

Why isn’t it hip-hop when I do it? Everybody else can have beef within the music, talk about differences and it’s ok. It’s music, it’s hip-hop, it’s ground breaking. When I do it, it’s war.

It’s going to happen. All good niggas, all the niggas who change the world, die in violence. They don’t die in regular ways. Motherfuckas come take their lives.

2pac Shaku
Reality is wrong. Dreams are for real.
2pac Shakur
I believe that everything that you do bad comes back to you. So everything that I do that’s bad, I’m going to suffer from it. But in my mind, I believe what I’m doing is right. So I feel like I’m going to heaven.
2pac Shakur
I put the pistol by my head, and say a prayer. I see visions of me dead, Lord are you there?
2pac Shakur
“Live by the gun die by the gun.”
2pac Shakur
Oh Lord, help me change my ways, Show a litlle mercy on judgement day, It aint me I was raised this way, Never let em’ play me for a busta, Makin’ hell for a huslter.
2pac Shakur
A coward dies a thousand deaths; A soldier dies but once.
2pac Shakur
I�d rather die like a man than live like a coward.
2pac Shakur
My only fear of death is comin back reincarnated.
2pac Shakur
Imperfection is inherited, therefore we all sin, but fighting the war of sin is thegreatest war of all because we all die in the end no matter how hard we fight.
2pac Shakur
“When my Heart Can Beat No More I hope die for a principal or a belief that I have lived for”

2pac Shakur
I thought i had friends but in the end n*iggaz dies lonely.
2pac Shakur
Picture Me Rollin
2pac Shakur
We talk a lot about Malcom X and Martin Luther King JR, but It’s time to be like them, as strong as them. They were mortal men like us and everyone of us can be like them. I don’t want to be a role model. I just want to be someone who says, this is who i am, this is what i do. I say what’s on my mind.
2pac Shakur
The only thing America respects is power and power concedes nothing. After the LA Riots, they tried to calm us down and nothing changed since.
2pac Shakur
I am societies child, this is how they made me, and now im sayin what’s on my mind and they dont want that. This is what you made me America.
2pac Shakur
Though are hands are chained like they are, they haven’t taken music from us yet. So that’s how I’ll fight. People tell me don’t quit like everyone else. I wont have no fear.
2pac Shakur
The only thing that comes to a sleeping man is dreams.
2pac Shakur
The american dream wasn’t meant for me, cause lady liberty’s a hypocrite she lied to me, promised me freedom, education, and equality never gave me nothing but slavery but now look at how dangerous you made me callin me a mad man because im strong and bold.
2pac Shakur
Let me say for the record, I am not a gangster and never have been. Im not the thief who grabs your purse. Im not the guy who jacks your car. Im not down with the people who steal and hurt others. Im just a brother who fight back.
2pac Shakur
Let the Lord judge the criminals.
2pac Shakur
Life’s a wheel of fortune and it’s my chance to spin it.
2pac Shakur
Support me… If you don’t understand me don’t write about me
2pac Shakur
Suge is the boss of Death Row, the don, you understand? But im the underboss, the capo. That’s my job to what’s best for Death Row
2pac Shakur
I never thought I was the best rapper the best nothing’. I think I’m the realist nigga out there
2pac Shakur
People might be, like, “This niggas conceited,” but fuck it. I feel like I shine. And I don’t give a fuck how many white people, the Media, black people, playa haters, police, whoever, try to darken my shine, Im’a always shine through
2pac Shakur
All I can say is I always try to be a real nigga in my heart. Sometimes its good, sometimes it’s bad; but its still us. Its never to hurt anybody
2pac Shakur
I truly believe I’ve been blessed by God, and God walks with me
2pac Shakur
If you walked by a street and you was walking a concrete and you saw a rose growing from concrete, even if it had messed up petals and it was a little to the side you would marvel at just seeing a rose grow through concrete. So way is it that when you see some ghetto kid grow out of the dirtiest circumstance and he can talk and he can sit across the room and make you cry, make you laugh, all you can talk about is my dirty rose, my dirty stems and how am leaning crooked to the side, u can’t even see that I’ve come up from out of that
2pac Shakur
We are in the midst of a very dangerous, non-productive, self-destructive civil war. And it’s not just rap shit. It’s ideals. And this rap shit is just bringin’ it to a head. The East Coast believe one thing, and the West Coast believer one thing. The East Coast got one way of life, the West Coast got another wayof life, it always co-existed. We’re coming to the turn of the century where we gotta mash together. But we can only do it one way, one style. And that’s what we’re trying to figure out now, and I think the world is watching that.
2pac Shaku
I smoke blunt to take the pain out and if I wasn’t high I’d probably blow my brains out.
2pac Shakur
America, America, America, I charge you with the crime of rape, murder, and assault.
2pac Shakur
One day I’m gonna bust, blow up on this society, why did you lie to me, I couldn’t find a trace of humanity.
2pac Shakur
My Mama used to tell me if u can’t find somethin to live for, you best find somethin to die for.
2pac Shakur
I don’t bang for the color or the land. I bang for the principles and for the honor. I’m bangin’ for the Westside- this is in my heart, this is how I feel.
2pac Shakur
I was the truest nigga involved in Biggie’s success.
2pac Shakur
Biggie is not a playa. He’s never been. He’s never had bitches until he got some fuckin’ money. That’s a trick-that’s not a playa.
2pac Shakur
Everything he wanna have-I got.
2pac Shakur
Biggie forgot. The same shit that made him wanna kick it with me is the same shit that’s whoopin’ his ass right now.
2pac Shakur
I said it in the beginning. That I was gonna take them niggaz out the game and sure enough I will. Already people can’t look at Biggie and not laugh.
2pac Shakur
Can’t nobody touch me right now. Maybe next month all of this will be over. But this month I’m takin’ every movin’ target out.
2pac Shakur
Stole my lyrics. I stole his bitch. Took my rhymes. I took his wife. If he talk all that shit about being a playa and I got his wife two days after I got outta jail- imagine that gangsta shit he’s talking, imagine how plastic that shit is.
2pac Shakur
How many bruthas fell victim to the street rest in peace young nigga there’s a heaven for a G, It’d be a lie if I told you that I never thought of death, My niggaz, we the last ones left, Life goes on…
2pac Shakur
Bury me smilin’ with G’s in my pocket Have a party at my funeral let every rapper rock it Let the hoes that I used to know, from way before Kiss me from my head to my toe Gimme a paper and pen so I can write about my life of sin, Couple bottles of gin, in case I don’t get in…
2pac Shakur
Last year we poured out liquor for ya’ll This year nigga life goes on We’re gonna lock down Get money, evade bitches, evade tricks, give playaz plenty of space And basically represent for you baby Next time you see your niggaz we gonna be on top They’re gonna be like damn them niggaz came up That’s right baby, life goes on
2pac Shakur
Maybe now niggaz feel me now Picture my pain Embrace my words Make the world change And still I smile nigga
2pac Shakur
Gangsta Rap is dead. I’ve moved on.
2pac Shakur
Your body is bangin’ baby I love it when you flaunt it Time to give it to daddy nigga now tell me how you want it.
2pac Shakur
I heard a rumor I died Murdered in cold blood dramatized Pictures of me in my final state You know mama cried But that was fiction Some coward got the story twisted Like I no longer existed Mysteriously missin’ I’m known worldwide baby I ain’t hard to find
2pac Shakur
And the raps that I’m rappin to my community shouldn’t be filled with rage? They shouldn’t be filled with same attrocities that they gave me? The media they don’t talk about it, so in my raps I have to talk about it, and it seems foreign because there’s no one else talking about it.”
2pac Shakur
don’t player hate don’t discriminate participate before i punch you in your face, cause you know i don’t play..
2pac Shakur
There ain’t nothin’ like a Black woman.
2pac Shakur
I’m not the king. I’m not the teacher or nothing like that, but I feel like I don’t have no peers. l’ve been out les than a year, convicted of allegations that usually end niggas careers. Shot five times in the nuts and the head. I came out and in less than a fuckin’ year and outsold Biggie almost three times. I sold more records than his whole fuckin’ label.
2pac Shakur
I’m gonna change the rules in the rap game. You know, how, like politics, the Republicans are in now; well, I represent that style; I’m the new nigga, I’ma shake up the whole Congress, by puttin’ out a double-album-that nobody ever did-I had the most expensive album on the Charts…and I outsold everyone of them muthafuckas. And I did it in two months.
2pac Shakur
Thug Life hit me like the Holy ghost. Thug Life hit me like the Holy ghost
2pac Shaku
To me, I feel that my game is strong. I feel as thought I’m a shining prince, just like Malcolm, and I feel that all of us are shining princes, and if we live like princes, then whatever we want can be ours. Anything.
2pac Shakur
Sheddin tears, reminiscin on my past fears Cause shit was hectic for me last year It appears that I’ve been marked for death, my heartless breath The underlying cause of my arrest, my life is stressed And no rest forever weary, my eyes stay teary for all the brothers that are buried in the cemetery
2pac Shakur
My music is not for everyone. It’s only for the stong-willed, the [street] soldiers music. It’s not like party music- I mean, you could gig to it, but it’s spiritual. My musi is spiritual. It’s like Negro spiituals, except for the fact that I’m not saying ‘We shall Overcome.’ I’m saying that we are overcome.
2pac Shakur
I remember crying all the time. My major thing growing up was I couldn’t fit in. Because I was from everywhere, I didn’t have no buddies that I grew up with…Every time I had to go to a new apartment, I had to reinvent myself, myself. People think just because you born in the ghetto you gonna fit in. A little twist in your life and you don’t fit in no matter what. If they push you out of the hood and the White people’s world, that’s criminal…Hell, I felt like my could be destroyed at any moment.
2pac Shakur
The real tragedy is that there are some ignorant brothers out here. That’s why I’m not on this all-White or all Black shit. I’m on this all-real or all fake shit with people, whatever color you are. Because niggaz will do you. I mean, there’s some [foul] niggaz out there [in the streets]; the same niggaz that did Malcolm X, the same niggaz that did Jesus Christ- every brother ain’t a brother. They will do you. So just because it’s Black, don’t mean it’s cool. And just because it’s White don’t mean it’s evil.
2pac Shakur
To me, it reall y troubling because I took ouver at that’s successful- Marky Mark, Hammer, Vanilla Ice, New Kids On The Block selling twenty-two million copies, and I want that [kind of success] so badly, but I can’t do that. I would be wrong to do that, knowing what I know and having the brain that I have, for me to even go and write some simple shit would be wrong even though I would get paid and I would get more people’s money. I would rather leave something so that when people pick up 2pacalypse Now or any of my other albums in 1999, they’ll go, Damn! Brothers had it hard back in the day, but brother were working it out.
2pac Shakur
Dangerous and ambitious while schemin’ on gettin’ riches. I’m spittin’ at tricks cuz I’m addicted to pretty bitches. Currency motivated, not easily terminated, Now that we made it, my niggaz can never be faded. This is my prophecy, I gotta be paid All you cowards that try to stop me is beggin’ for early graves I thought we was cool I was a fool. Thinkin’ you could be true, when I don’t fuck with your punk crew
2pac Shakur
Now on this ride there’s gonna be some real muthafuckas and there is gonna be some pussies. Now the real niggaz are gonna be the ones with money and bitches The pussies are gonna be the niggaz on the floor bleedin’. Now everybody keep you eyez on the prize cuz the ride gets tricky See you got some niggaz on your side That say they your friends but in real life they your enemies And then you got some muthafuckas that say they your enemies But in real life those niggaz will be the snitches It’s a dirty game ya’ll Ya’ll gotta be careful about who you fuck with and who you don’t fuck with Cuz the shit get wild ya’ll Keep your mind on your riches baby Keep your mind on your riches.
2pac Shakur
If you know in this hotel room they have food every day and I knock on the door. Every day they open tha door to let me see tha party, let me see that they throwin’ salami, throwin’ food around telling me there’s no food. Every day. I’m standing outside tryin to sing my way in- “We are weak, please let us in. We’re week, please let us in.” After about a week tha song is gonna change to, “We’re hungry, we need some food.” After two, three weeks it’s like “Give me some of tha food! I’m breakin down tha door.” After a year it’s like, “I’m pickin’ the lock, comin’ through the door blastin.” It’s like, “I’m hungry.” You reached your level, you don’t want any more. We asked ten years ago, we were askin’ with the Panthers, we were askin’ in the Civil Rights Movement. Now those who were askin’ are all dead or in jail, wo what are we gonna do? And we shouldn’t be angry!?
2pac Shakur
I guarantee if people keep mm..supportin’ me….Just buying my records, goin to my concerts, just supporting me..I’ma keep givin’ money….Like Makaveli, every time it go platinum, I’m putting money up for community centers.
2pac Shakur
And now i’m like a major threat, ‘Cause I remind you of the things you were made to forget.
2pac Shakur
There’s no way I can pay ya back, but my plan is to show ya that I understand.
2pac Shakur
I didn’t get that power from gunz..coz there’s no gunz in jail..I got that power from books and from thinking and strategizing…… That’s what I want little niggaz to see.
2pac Shakur
Don’t shed a tear for me, nigga I ain’t happy here, I hope they bury me and send me to my rest, headlines reading murdered to death, my last breath.
2pac Shakur
Mama raised a hellraiser why cry, That’s just life in the ghetto, do or die.
2pac Shakur
My raps are a decision, rabble rousing, spiritual, like gospel music. I don’t want to dance. We have so many things to deal with, we need to talk straight up and down.
2pac Shakur
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.
2pac Shakur
I believe that everything you do bad comes back to you. So everything that I do that’s bad, I’m going to suffer for it. But in my heart, I believe what I’m doing in my heart is right. So I feel like I ‘m going to heaven.
2pac Shakur
Our unborn never got to grow, never got to see what’s, next, In this world full of countless threats.
2pac Shakur
I don’t advocate senseless violence of any human being. I’m the one who’s been beat down. But I will not be a victim again.
2pac Shakur
Fuck the fame, I still won’t change, are you still down?
2pac Shakur
This is my prophecy, I gotta be paid, All you cowards that try to stop me is beggin’ for early graves, I thought we was cool I was a fool, Thinkin’ you could be true, when I don’t fuck with your punk crew.

I heard a rumor I died, Murdered in cold blood dramatized, Pictures of me in my final state, You know mama cried, But that was fiction, Some coward got the story twisted, Like I no longer existed, Mysteriously missin’, I’m known worldwide baby, I ain’t hard to find.
2pac Shakur
Walked in the store what’s everybody staring at, They act like they never seen a mutha fucker wearing black, Following a nigga and shit, Ain’t this a bitch, All I wanted was some chips.
2pac Shakur
God come save the youth Ain’t nothin else to do but have faith in you Dear Lord I live the life of a Thug, hope you understand Forgive me for my mistakes, I gotta play my hand.
2pac Shakur
They claim that I’m violent just cuz I refuse to be silent.
2pac Shakur
You know it’s funny when it rains it pours, They got money for wars, but can’t feed the poor.
2pac Shakur
Mr. Police, Please Try to see, That there’s a million muthafuckas stressin’ just like me.
2pac Shakur
So many other things for us to see, Things to be, Our history so full of tragedy and misery.
2pac Shakur
I guess cause i’m black boy, I’m supposed to say ‘peace’, sing songs, and get capped on.
2pac Shakur
My only fear of death is comin back reincarnated.
2pac Shakur
They should’ve shot me when I was born, Now I’m trapped in the muthafuckin’ storm.
2pac Shakur
We ain’t meant to survive, cause it’s a setup, And even though you’re fed up, Huh, ya got to keep your head up.
2pac Shakur
It’s kinda hard to be optimistic, When your homies lying dead on the pavement twisted.
2pac Shakur
They say it’s the white man I should fear, But it’s my own kind doin’ all the killin’ here.
2pac Shakur
I’m tired of being a nice guy, I’ve been poor all my life, but don’t know quite why.
2pac Shakur
I struggle to be rugged and raw dude, trying to survive in the trials and lawsuits, Everybody wants to test me, WHY ME?
2pac Shakur
Dont blame me, I was given this world, I didn’t make it.
2pac Shakur
I was raised in this society so you can’t expect me to be a perferct person cause Ima do what Ima do.
2pac Shakur
Don’t ever stop, just push until you hit the top, and if you try, atleast you know you gave your all, be true to you, and that way you can never fall … be true to you, believe that there is no one bigger, cause they can all suck dick.

2pac Shakur
A thug nigga drinkin hard liquor, This ghetto life has got me catchin up to God quicker.
2pac Shakur
First ship them dope, let them deal to brothers, give them guns, step back and watch them kill each other.
2pac Shakur
I’m tired of being a nice guy, i’ve been poor all my life, but don’t know quite why, so they label me a lunatic, could care less death or success, is what I quest cause i’m fearless.
2pac Shakur
This fast life soon shatters, cause after all the lights and screams, nothing but my dreams matter.

2pac Shakur
Thinkin with your brains blown that would make the pain go No!You got to find a way to survive cause they win when your soul dies.
2pac Shakur
How can I survive? Got me askin white Jesus will a nigga live or die, cause the Lord can’t see us in the deep dark clouds of the projects, ain’t no sunshine No sunny days and we only play sometimes.
2pac Shakur
And still, the best of us build, and reach monetary gains. Some of us kill, but still, most of us can change.
2pac Shakur
Even as a little seed, I could see his plan for me. Stranded on welfare, another broken family.
2pac Shakur
And in turn I’m hostile guess you could call me anti-social. Niggaz shakin like they caught the holy ghost when I approach em.
2pac Shakur
Even as a dope fiend mama. You always was a black queen mama.
2pac Shakur
You gotta make a change. Its time for us as a people to start making some changes, lets change the way we eat, lets change the way we live, and lets change the way we treat each other. You see the old way wasn’t working so its on US, to do what we gotta do to survive.

‘Cause if God wrote the Bible, I’m sure there would have been a revised copy by now. ‘Cause a lot of shit has changed. I’ve been looking for this revised copy. I still see that same old copy that we had from then. I’m not disrespecting anyone’s religion, please forgive me if it comes off that way, I’m just stating my opinion.
2pac Shakur
As far as jealousy, being a celebrity, No matter who committed the crime, they all yell at me. And the media is greedier than most. You could sell em your soul and they’ll be on ya till a nigga’s a ghost. And everyday I read the paper, there’s another lie. They show my picture for the crimes of another guy.
2pac Shaku
I can’t give up. It’s a rap thang. And I ain’t goin back to the crack game.
2pac Shakur
I’m in jail now, but I’m free. My mind is free. The only time I have problems is when I sleep.
2pac Shakur
That which does not kill me can only make me stronger.
2pac Shakur
If we really are saying that rap is an art form, then we got to be more responsible for our lyrics. If you see everybody dying because of what you are saying, it dont matter that you didnt make them die, it just matters that you didnt save them.
2pac Shakur
But I see now that whether I show up for work or not, the evil forces are going to beat me. They’re going to come 100 percent, so if I dont be 100 percent pure-hearted, I’m going to lose. And thats why I’m losing.
2pac Shakur
How many niggas want to be involved, see I was only talking Biggie but I’ll kill all of y’all.
2pac Shakur
And did you ever stop to think that I’m old enough to go to war but I aint old enough to drink.
2pac Shakur
I stop and stare at the younger, my heart goes to ‘em, they stressed out and goin’ under.

Why isn’t it hip-hop when I do it? Everybody else can have beef within the music, talk about differences and it’s ok. It’s music, it’s hip-hop, it’s ground breaking. When I do it, it’s war.
2pac Shakur
It’s going to happen. All good niggas, all the niggas who change the world, die in violence. They don’t die in regular ways. Motherfuckas come take their lives.
