Screamin’, “Thug ’til I die!” before I passed outīut now that you’re gone, I’m in the zone Two in the morning and we still high, assed out Get on the roof, let’s get smoked out, and blaze with me Raised as G’s, loc’ed out, and blazed the weed We used to do ’em as adolescents, do you recall? Life as a baller: alcohol and booty calls It’s time to bury another brother, nobody cry

Plus this my homie from high school, he gettin’ by Ring, ring, ring - quiet, y’all, incomin’ call We used to drink together and rap along this track:Īs I bail through the empty halls, breath stinkin’ in my jaws Listening to “Life Goes On” made me think of my homie Nate. “I Ain’t Mad at Cha” and “Life Goes On” were for the homies that died too young. “All Bout U” and “Wonda Why They Call U Bitch” were for the haters. “How Do U Want It” and “California Love” were for the club heads. “No More Pain” and “Got My Mind Made Up” were for the thug bangers. “Dear Mama” brings me to tears every time, especially now that my mother is gone.Īfter joining Death Row Records, Tupac released his double album, All Eyez On Me, in which he offered a wide range of styles. I appreciated the unconditional love she gave me. I missed my mama and I never forget the times she never left my bed side when I was sick as a little kid. Is to show you that I understand: you are appreciated If you can make it through the night, there’s a brighter dayĮverything will be alright if you hold onĪnd there’s no way I can pay you back, but my plan You never kept a secret, always stayed real There are no words that can express how I feel

To keep me happy there’s no limit to the things you didĪre full of all the sweet things you did for me You say the words that can get me back in focus ‘Cause through the drama I can always depend on my mama His third verse reminded me of my mother: Is to show you that I understand: you are appreciated. There’s no way I can pay you back, but the plan Tupac showed his appreciation:įor a woman it ain’t easy tryin’ to raise a manĪ poor single mother on welfare, tell me how you did it Nevertheless, Tupac recorded “Dear Mama,” a loving, heartfelt tribute to his mother Afeni Shakur who was a single, addicted mother trying to raise her two kids. The album was dark and menacing as if the world were against him. His 1995’s Me Against the World was released while he was serving time for his sexual assault conviction. From a caring gentleman, he turned into a misogynistic asshole. Unfortunately, he changed completely after he was charged with sexual assault. Tupac was charming and sweet when it came to women. I know you’re fed up, ladies, but keep ya head up. He has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one That will hate the ladies that make the babies Time to heal our women, be real to our womenĪnd if we don’t, we’ll have a race of babies Why we rape our women, do we hate our women? Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman When you come around the block, brothers clown a lotīut please don’t cry, dry your eyes, never let upįorgive, but don’t forget, girl, keep ya head upĪnd when he tells you you ain’t nothin’, don’t believe himĪnd if he can’t learn to love you, you should leave himĪnd I ain’t tryin’ to gas you up, I just call ’em how I see ’em I say the darker the flesh, then the deeper the roots Some say the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice In “Keep Ya Head Up,” he showed his tenderness toward women. In 1993, Tupac followed up with Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z.…. She wrapped the baby up and threw him in a trash heap. She didn’t know what to throw away and what to keep

She had it on the bathroom floor and didn’t know, so Whatever, he left her and she had the baby solo In love with a molester, who’s sexin’ her crazyĪnd yet and she thinks that he’ll be with her foreverĪnd dreams of a world where the two of them are together She’s twelve years old and she’s havin’ a baby She ended up selling her body and found slain. It’s a tragic song about a young black girl who fell in love with the wrong guy. It demonstrated Tupac’s articulate storytelling. His 1991 debut, 2Pacalypse Now, is not my favorite, but “Brenda’s Got a Baby” stood out to me. What Tupac had touched me was the sweet side of his music and he always included it in his albums. His mantra was, “Live by the gun and die by the gun.”Īs a fan of Tupac, I had to get beyond his gangster mentality as well as his misogyny. In his music, he expressed eloquently on police brutality and gun violence in the black community. He was young, outspoken, and didn’t give a fuck. Tupac was gunned down when he was at the top of his game. Tupac Amaru Shakur died at the age of twenty-five.
