And I... started off dumb, raised by the hoodrats, listen to the radio wishin that i could rap.
Tupac ShakurMy mama always used to tell me: 'If you can't find somethin' to live for, you best find somethin' to die for.'
Tupac ShakurPicture perfect, I paint a perfect picture bomb the hoochies wit' precision, my intentions to get richer.
Tupac ShakurIf 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.
Tupac ShakurSince we all came from a women, got our name from a women, and our game from a women. I wonder why we take from women, why we rape our women, do we hate our women? I think its time we killed for our women, be real to our women, try to heal our women, cus if we dont we'll have a race of babies that will hate the ladies, who make the babies. And since a man can't make one he has no right to tell a women when and where to create one
