How many caskets can we witness before we see it's hard to live this life without God, so we must ask forgiveness.
Tupac ShakurI think I'm a natural-born leader. I know how to bow down to authority if it's authority that I respect.
Tupac ShakurIt was tough sitting in jail listening to Jay Leno and Rush Limbaugh and everybody making jokes about me getting shot. And watching the media report all kinds of lies about me, like that I got raped in jail. That never happened. But at least while I was locked down, all the inmates gave me props encouragement, and so did lots of mothers and kids, who wrote me letters of support.
Tupac ShakurI don't want to be a role model. I just want to be someone who says, this is who I am, this is what I do, I say what's on my mind.
Tupac ShakurJust 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.
