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 turn to a life of crime cause I came from a broken family.

I don't have to talk about whether or not I got raped in jail.

I feel that what was done in the dark will come to light. There are secrets everybody's gonna find out about.

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.

Revenge is like the sweetest joy next to gettin' pussy.

Thug Life hit me like the Holy ghost.
