2Pac nn era semplicemente un rapper, era principalmente 1 ragazzo dalla vita difficile ke esprimeva se stesso nelle sue rime, al contrario d Biggie ke parlava d mettere dita nel culo delle sue donne e leccare, leccare,leccare, quelle d 2Pac erano poesie nn lirike...e x qnt gente cm i Run DMC, Rakim e Erick Sermon abbiano davvero costruito l HipHop, nn sn mai arrivati ai livelli d Pac, guarda qui c sn alcune poesie ke davvero ha scritto:
The Rose That Grew From The Concrete
Did you hear about the rose that grew
from a crack in the concrete?
Proving nature's law is wrong it
learned to walk with out having feet.
Funny it seems, but by keeping it's dreams,
it learned to breathe fresh air.
Long live the rose that grew from concrete
when no one else ever cared.
In The Event Of My Demise
In the event of my Demise
when my heart can beat no more
I Hope I Die For A Principle
or A Belief that I had Lived 4
I will die Before My Time
Because I feel the shadow's Depth
so much I wanted 2 accomplish
before I reached my Death
I have come 2 grips with the possibility
and wiped the last tear from My eyes
I Loved All who were Positive
In the event of my Demise
I Cry
Sometimes when I'm alone
I Cry,
Cause I am on my own.
The tears I cry are bitter and warm.
They flow with life but take no form
I Cry because my heart is torn.
I find it difficult to carry on.
If I had an ear to confiding,
I would cry among my treasured friend,
but who do you know that stops that long,
to help another carry on.
The world moves fast and it would rather pass by.
Then to stop and see what makes one cry,
so painful and sad.
And sometimes...
I Cry
and no one cares about why.
The Power Of A Smile
The power of a gun can kill
and the power of fire can burn
The power of the wind can chill
and the power of the mind can learn
The power of anger can rage
Inside until it tears u apart
But the power of a smile
especially yours can heal a frozen heart
