[b]This is for all the ladies in the struggle..i dedicate this for all of you...2pac..Keep ya head up Little somethin' for my godson Elijah and a little girl named Corinne [Verse 1] Some say the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice I say the darker the flesh then the deeper the roots I give a holla to my sisters on welfare 2Pac cares, if don't nobody else care And, I know they like to beat you down a lot When you come around the block, brothers clown a lot But please don't cry, dry your eyes, never let up Forgive but don't forget, girl, keep your head up And when he tells you you ain't nothin', don't believe him And if he can't learn to love you, you should leave him Cause sister, you don't need him And I ain't tryin' to gas ya up, I just call 'em how I see 'em You know what makes me unhappy When brothers make babies, and leave a young mother to be a pappy And since we all came from a woman Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman I wonder why we take from our women Why we rape our women, do we hate our women I think it's time to kill for our women Time to heal our women, be real to our women And if we don't we'll have a race of babies That will hate the ladies that make the babies And since a man can't make one He has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one So will the real men get up I know you're fed up ladies, but keep your head up [Refrain x2] Keep ya head up, ooh, child, things are gonna get easier Keep ya head up, ooh, child, things'll get brighter [Verse 2] Aiyyo, I remember Marvin Gaye used to sing to me He had me feelin' like black was the thing to be And suddenly the ghetto didn't seem so tough And though we had it rough, we always had enough I huffed and puffed about my curfew and broke the rules Ran with the local crew and had a smoke or two And I realize Momma really paid the price She nearly gave her life to raise me right And all I had to give her was my pipe dream Of how I'd rock the mic and make it to the bright screen I'm tryin' to make a dollar out of fifteen cents It's hard to be legit and still pay the rent And in the end it seems I'm headin' for the pen I try to find my friends but they're blowin' in the wind Last night my buddy lost his whole family It's gonna take the man in me to conquer this insanity It seems the rain'll never let up I try to keep my head up and still keep from gettin' wet up You know it's funny when it rains it pours They got money for wars but can't feed the poor Say there ain't no hope for the youth and the truth is It ain't no hope for the future And then they wonder why we crazy I blame my mother for turning my brother into a crack baby We ain't meant to survive cause it's a setup And even though you're fed up Huh, ya got to keep your head up [Refrain x2] [Verse 3] And uh, to all the ladies havin' babies on they own I know it's kinda rough and you're feelin' all alone Daddy's long gone and he left you by your lonesome Thank the Lord for my kids, even if nobody else want 'em Cause I think we can make it, in fact, I'm sure And if you fall, stand tall and come back for more Cause ain't nothin' worse than when your son Wants to know why his daddy don't love him no mo' You can't complain you was dealt this Hell of a hand without a man, feelin' helpless Because there's too many things for you to deal with Dyin' inside, but outside you're looking fearless While tears is rollin' down your cheeks Ya steady hopin' things don't fall down this week Cause if it did, you couldn't take it, and don't blame me I was given this world I didn't make it And now my son's gettin' older and older and cold From havin' the world on his shoulders While the rich kids is drivin' Benz I'm still tryin' to hold on to surviving friends And it's crazy, it seems it'll never let up, but Please, you got to keep your head up TRACK 1 ON GREATEST HITS[/b] |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iv6dgBo0uTU [b](What y'all want?) Unconditional Love (no doubt) Talking bout the stuff that don't wear off It don't fade It'll last for all these crazy days These crazy nights Whether you wrong or you right I'm a still love you Still feel you Still there for you No matter what (hehe) You will always be in my heart With unconditional love [Verse 1] Come listen to my truest thoughts, my truest feelings All my peers doing years beyond drug dealing How many caskets can we witness Before we see it's hard to live This life without God, so we must ask forgiveness Ask mama why I got this urge to die Witness the tears falling free from my eyes, before she could reply Though we were born without a silver spoon My broken down TV, show cartoons in my living room (hey) One day I hope to make it, a player in this game Mama don't cry, long as we try, maybe things change Perhaps it's just a fantasy A life where we don't need no welfare Shit with our whole family Maybe it's me that caused it, the fighting and the hurting In my room crying cause I didn't want to be a burden Watch mama open up her arms to hug me And I ain't worried bout a damn thang, with unconditional love [Hook: repeat 2X] In this game the lesson's in your eyes to see Though things change, the future's still inside of me We must remember that tomorrow comes after the dark So you will always be in my heart, with unconditional love [Verse 2] Just got the message you've been calling all week Been out here hustling on these streets, ain't had a chance to speak But you know, with you and me it's on G We could never be enemies, cause you been such a good friend to me Where would I be without my dogs No wonder why when times get hard Cause it ain't easy being who we are Driven by my ambitions, desire higher positions So I proceed to make Gs, eternally in my mission Is to be more than just a rap musician The elevation of today's generation If could make 'em listen Prison ain't what we need, no longer stuck in greed Time to plan, strategize, my family's gotta eat When we make somethin out of nothing No pleasure in the suffering, neighborhood would be good If they could cut out all the busting The liquor and the weed the cussing Sending love out to my block The struggle never stops (unconditional love) [Hook] [Verse 3] I'll probably never understand ya ways With everyday I swear I hear ya Trying to change your ways while gettin paid at the same time Just had a baby with the same eyes Something inside, please let me die these are strange times How come I never made it Maybe it's the way the played it in my heart I knew one day I gotta be a star My hopes and all my wishes So many vivid pictures, and all the currency I'll never even get to see This fast life soon shatter us Cause after all the lights and screams Nothing but my dreams matter Hoping for better days Maybe a peaceful night, baby don't cry Cause everythang gonna be alright Just lay your head on my shoulder Don't worry bout a thang baby Girl I'm a soldier (huh) Never treated me bad, no matter who I was You still came with that, unconditional love [Hook] - repeat to fade[/b] |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbtz02uaGFc [[b]Intro: 2Pac] Let us pray Heavenly Father, hear a nigga down here Before I go to sleep Tell me, who do you believe in? Who do you believe in? [Verse One: 2Pac] I see mothers in black cryin, brothers in packs dyin Plus everybody's high, too doped up to ask why Watchin our own downfall, witness the end It's like we don't believe in God cause we livin in sin I asked my homie on the block why he strapped, he laughed Pointed his pistol as the cop car passed and blast It's just another murder, nobody mourns no more My tear drops gettin bigger but can't figure what I'm cryin for Is it the miniature caskets, little babies Victims of a stray, from drug dealers gone crazy Maybe it's just the drugs, visions of how the block was Crack came and it was strange how it rocked us Perhaps the underlyin fact stay high explain genocide It's when we ride on our own kind What is it we all fear, reflections in the mirror We can't escape fate, the end is gettin nearer [Hook 2X: 2Pac] Who do you believe in? I put my faith in God, blessed and still breathin And even though it's hard, that's who I believe in Before I'm leavin, I'm askin the grievin - who do you believe in? [Verse Two: 2Pac] Can't close my eyes cause all I see is terror I hate the man in the mirror Cause his reflection makes the pain turn realer Times of Armageddeon, murder in mass amounts In this society where only gettin the cash counts I started out as a beginner Entered the criminal lifestyle became a sinner I make my money and vacate, evade prison Went from the chosen one to outcast, unforgiven And all the Hennessy and weed can't hide, the pain I feel inside You know, it's like I'm livin just to die I fall on my knees and beg for mercy, not knowin if I'm worthy Livin life thinkin no man can hurt me So I'm askin -- before I lay me down to sleep Before you judge me, look at all the shit you did to me, my misery I rose up from the slums, made it out the flames In my search for fame will I change? I'm askin [Hook] [Verse Three: Kadafi] Faith in Allah, believe in me and this plastic Cause so far I done witnessed to many dead niggas in caskets With they chest plates stretched like elastic And what's worse I'm on front line, holdin down camp, still mashin Heard my cousin, one of the old heads from the block Just came home October of '95 back in Yardsville stuck With a three to five, if he don't act up, now he realize If you don't stay wise, then in this game you bleeped Talk to my baby girl, give me the word on what she heard One of the grimies is snitchin, dimin', a stool pigeon I talked to him He said he didn't, my man said he did, in fact he's sure Cause he just came home off of bid [2Pac] Now tell me [Hook] [Outro: spoken word] Who do you believe in? Is it Buddah, Jehovah, or Jah? Or Allah? Is it Jesus? Is it God? Or is just yourself? Definitely not to be imposed, being a demon Because this is the joy of believing! Men, to believe in yourselves But for sure, the higher power Resides only to ride in the heart of the true From the soul, of the man; for truth never has an alibi In the poetry, or in it's realm That's what pulls all words together Just to understand, that every man, is his OWN man And only man can satisfy the man Only the soul of the man, the feelings of the man The for realness of the man You can't shake the man when you feel the man you know the man And you gotta call yourself because you are that man [2Pac] Who do you believe in? I put my faith in God, blessed and still breathin [Singing while 2Pac speaks] Who do you believe in? Put my faith in God, and Blessed and still breathin [Singer] + (2Pac) Even though it's hard (Who do you believe in?) That's who I believe in (Put my faith in God) Before I'm leavin (Even though it's hard) I'm askin the grievin (Before I'm leavin I'm askin the grievin - who do you believe in?) Who do you believe in? (Who do you believe in?) Who do you (Blessed and still breathin) Oh blessed, oh blessed (Before I'm leavin I'm askin the grievin - who do you believe in?) [Singer] Oh who do you Do you believe in Hohhhhh-ohhhhh [2Pac over singer] Who do you believe in? I put my faith in God, blessed and still breathin And even though it's hard, that's who I believe in Before I'm leavin I'm askin the grievin - who do you believe in? [Singer] + (2Pac) I'm askin (Who do you believe in?) I'm askin you (Put my faith in God) (That's who I believe in) (Before I'm leavin I'm askin the grievin - who do you believe in?) [2Pac] Who do you believe in? I'm blessed and still breathin That's who I believe in Before I'm leavin, I'm askin the grievin Who do you believe in? Who do you believe in? {*echoes to fade*}[/b] |

U knw dis guy was over loaded, luv listening to his track like ghost, dear mama , picture me rolling, California luv, thugs mansion, changes blasphemy, to live n die in LA et al. One of his lyrics dat I like was in blasphemy goes dos: I got advice from my father, all he told me was this Niggaz, get off your ass if you plan to be rich There's ten rules to the game, but I'll share withyou two Know, niggaz gon' hate you for whatever you do Now rule one -- get your cash on, M.O.B. That's Money Over Bitches, cause they breed envy Now rule two is a hard one, watch for phonies Keep yo', enemies close nigga, watch yo' homies It seemed a little unimportant, when he told me Ismiled Picture jewels being handed, to an innocent child I never knew in my lifetime I'd live by these rules Initiated as an outlaw, studying rules Now papa ain't around, so I gotta recall or come to grips with being on my enemy's wall (rest in peace) Promised if I have a seed, I'ma guide him right Dear Lord don't let me die tonite I got words for my comrades, listen and learn Ain't nuttin free, give back what you earn, no doubt Gettin higher than a motherfucker, blessed and pleased This Thug Life'll be the death of me, c'mon, yeah And I remember what my papa told me Remember what my papa told me, blasphemy |

waleadex: I so love this quote of his - "...Let Me say this for the Records...I am not a Gangster, and never have been. I'm not the Thief who grabs your Purse. I'm not the Motherphuck£r who jacks your car. I'm not down with the People who steal and hurt Others...I'm just a Brother who fights back..."And the fool allow someone with a gangster mentality to change his orientation 360 degrees....... I believe 2pac got what he deserved as he let his jealously and envy becloud his sense of reasoning and judgement. Marion "Suge" Knight killed 2pac!! There's not a chance in hell 2pac could lyrically outshine Biggie. Hard as this may seem to most 2pac fans but it's the plain truth. Biggie was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay ahead lyrically than 2pac. 1 Like |

Tupac....one of my early inspirations in life. I ask myself which of his songs i love most and all seems to rush into my head......I remember rapping "Hit them up" at "Akonaki" in Port Harcourt back in the 90s. A real Rap Legend!!! Miss you bruv! "Before you find world peace, you got find peace on the street"~Tupac (Ghetto Gospel) |

It's 17 years already?!?!? Damn!!  R.I.P to the greatest one, my inspiration and the one I learned the game from and I'm still loyal to the game. I still remember the night you passed away and how I cried like a baby, and I was still a kid in primary school. But I got on you early via my older bro and older cousins. The first word I ever said might have been "thuglife" because your music and west coast music were always blasting out of my living room's speakers. Your music was my first love and the tune "ambition as a ridah" was the ringtone to my life from early. I reminisce how I wanted to be like you and didn't care if I died at 24. Wore my black bandana the way you did as a teenager when it was a black gang thing - PeckNARM!!! However, I'm older now and I understand your tunes better. You said you would inspire the mind that would change the world - you inspired me and I'm about to go forth and change the world. Still wondering if heaven has got a ghetto because I see no changes in this white man's world, but picture me rolling. Hail Mary and I still love my dear mama like you did. Still representing for my block, though I'm highly educated now. Unconditional love for all my nyggahs and I still ask myself about who I believe in. Still keeping my head up and a chic named Brenda almost got a baby for me. Till we meet in that thug mansion, say waddup to Khaddafi, Big L, Notorious B.I.G, Easy E, Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X, Bob Marley, Fela Kuti, M.J, MLK, Huey P. Newton, Dr. John Henrik Clarke et al for me. Life goes on!! 3 Likes |

Nice piece bro. God bless you. I grow up listening to PAC. I wish I was old enough when my brothers and cousin's were going for his concerts but I was a tiny little kido. I could vividly remember what my beother's reaction including my mom. PAC is a true poet, true story teller, a rapper and a freedom fighter. He had a heart of gold. He's gone but his manhood lives on   RIP PAC -Makaveli The Don West Side Baby 1 Like
