I have no fear, I have only ambition, and I want mine, And I will do anything to protect and feed my family.

Ever since I was an itty bitty kitty, been drinking liquor out of Mama's titty.

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

Hip Hop was supposed to be this new thing that had no boundaries and was so different to everyday music. As long as it has soul to it, hip hop can live on.

Just because I write some songs about bad women, though, that doesn't mean I hate women. I've written songs that show great love and respect for women too. Songs that talk about strong, upstanding women and their pain. I have women working on my music. They understand where I'm coming from. So does my mama. I always play my music for her before it comes out. Why do you think I wrote "Dear Mama"? I wrote it for my mama because I love her and I felt I owed her something deep.

I looked up and all I saw was blue lights. If I die tonight, I'm dying in a gun fight.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, photographers are worth a million.
