In USA, a black man only have like five years we can exhibit maximum strength, and that's right now while you a teenager, while you still strong, while you still wanna lift weights, while you still wanna shoot back. 'Cause once you turn 30, it's like they take the heart and soul out of a man, out of a black man, in this country. And you don't wanna fight no more.
Tupac ShakurI 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.
Tupac ShakurWhen you were born the world was smiling, and you cry, because living a life so that you are dying smiled, cried and the world.
Tupac ShakurI feel like Black Jesus got his hands on me and guides me through life to put me where I'm supposed to be.
