It's a struggle for every young Black man. You know how it is, only God can judge us.

Money made me evil, court cases got me stressed Niggaz aimin at my head but I still wear my vest.

In my brain all I think about is fame.

There's a machine that I have nothing to do with. It's called the "Tupac Machine."

No matter what these people say about me, my music doesn't glorify any image. My music is spiritual when you listen to it. It's all about emotion, I tell my innermost, darkest secrets.

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.

And even though i act crazy I gotta thank the lord that you made meh.
