When you were born the world was smiling, and you cry, because living a life so that you are dying smiled, cried and the world.

To all the seeds that follow me protect your essence, Born with less, but you still precious.

It's gonna take the man in me to conquer this insanity.

I was looking for a father, he was gone. I hung around with the thugs, and even though they sold drugs, they showed a young brother love.

Tupac the son of the Black Panther, and Tupac the rider. Those are the two people inside of me. I was raised off those ideals.

Make me wanna kill myself, but I see death around the corner.

Let the Lord judge the criminals.
