Is it a crime, to fight, for what is mine?
Tupac Shakur
No one knows my Struggle, they only see the Trouble. Not knowing it's hard to carry on when, No one loves you.
Tupac Shakur
I am being ripped off, because I've never lied to the press. Just as much truth I bring to my work, a journalist should bring that much truth to their work.
Tupac Shakur
When you do rap albums, you got to train yourself. You got to constantly be in character.
Tupac Shakur
I didn't introduce thug life to America. Thug life is America. I don't get why the whole world is fearing me. I am scared, but so are they. It's like I am having a panic attack cause I have 15,000 people wanting to do what I want, listing to everything I say.
Tupac Shakur
Today is built on tragedies, which no one wants to face, nightmares to humanities and morally disgraced. Tonight is filled with rage, violence in the air, children bred with ruthlessness because no one at home cares.
Tupac Shakur
Goin insane, never die, live eternal, who shall I fear?
Tupac Shakur

Tupac Shakur
But I see now that whether I show up for work or not, the evil forces are going to beat me. They're going to come 100 percent, so if I dont be 100 percent pure-hearted, I'm going to lose. And thats why I'm losing.
Tupac Shakur
God damn! Drug dealers dealin' to the kiddies, Livin' in the city ain't no pity on the itty-bitty. We try to cry, but still they all die, I try to speak to the youth, and the truth is: they all high.
Tupac Shakur
Only God Can Judge Me That which does not kill me can only make me stronger. I don't see why everybody feel as though that they gotta tell me how to live my life
Tupac Shakur
The only thing that comes to a sleeping man is dreams.
Tupac Shakur
But please don't cry, dry your eyes, never let up Forgive but don't forget, girl keep your head up
Tupac Shakur
My family tree consists of drug dealers, thugs, and killers.
Tupac Shakur
I worked hard all my life as far as this music business. I dreamed of the day when I could go to New York and feel comfortable and they could come out here and be comfortable.
Tupac Shakur
That's what I am, America's nightmare. I am what you made me, the hate and evil that you gave me.
Tupac Shakur
Unless we share with each other we gotta start makin' changes
Tupac Shakur
My music is not for everyone. It's only for the stong-willed, the [street] soldiers music. It's not like party music- I mean, you could gig to it, but it's spiritual. My musi is spiritual. It's like Negro spiituals, except for the fact that I'm not saying 'We shall Overcome.' I'm saying that we are overcome.
Tupac Shakur
