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

I don't see myself being special; I just see myself having more responsibilities than the next man. People look to me to do things for them, to have answers.

Even as a little seed, I could see his plan for me. Stranded on welfare, another broken family.

Some say the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice I say the darker the flesh then the deeper the roots

Trust me I never lose. Either I win or learn from it

When I say ' thug' I mean not a criminal, someone who beats you over the head, I mean the underdog. You could have two people- one person has everything he needs to succeed and one person has nothing. If the person who has nothing succeeds, he's a thug. Cuz he overcame all the obstacles.

Can you imagine what it's like for you to be who I am, who I was, and for them to say that I raped a woman? And for the whole world to actually be entertaining the thought that you raped a woman. That's hell.
