More quotes by Tupac Shakur
Questions for the lord, why he don't like me, guard my soul, Though my life was hard with no remorse.
Tupac Shakur
Even the genius ask questions.
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
Dont blame me, I was given this world, I didn't make it.
Tupac Shakur
Gotta start teaching the children that they can be just what they want to be, there's much more to life than poverty.
Tupac Shakur
I don't want to be a role model. I just want to be someone who says, this is who I am, this is what I do, I say what's on my mind.
Tupac Shakur
Now the whole worlds calling me a killer all I ever did was try to reach the kids with the realer.
Tupac Shakur
Now up and atom it's on, I was raised to be strong, and mama told me be a thug since the day I was born. The fame was a plot to try a change me, and what's strange is nobody knew my name.
Tupac Shakur
And thats the way it was and thats the way the cookie crumbles

Tupac Shakur
Why am I fighting to live, If I am just living to fight Why am I trying to see. When there aint nothing in sight Why am I trying to give, When no one gives me a try Why am I dying to live, If I am just living to die?
Tupac Shakur
Dear Mama, don't cry, your baby boy's doin' good, Tell the homies I'm in heaven, and they ain't got hoods. Seen a show with Marvin Gaye last night, it had me shook, Drippin' peppermint Schnapps, with Jackie Wilson, and Sam Cooke.
Tupac Shakur
I'm just as guilty for not doing anything as I am for doing things. Not with case (the 1994 sexual abuse conviction), but just my life. I was so scared of this responsibility that I was running away from it. But I see now that whether I show up for work or not, the evil forces are going to be at me. They're going to come 100 percent.
Tupac Shakur
I stop and stare at the younger, my heart goes to 'em, they stressed out and goin' under.
Tupac Shakur
Even thugs cry, but do the Lord care?
Tupac Shakur
They wanna bury me im worried. Im loosin my mind look down the barrel of my nine and my visions blurry. Fallen to pieces am I guilty? I pray to the lord but his laws be unfortunate because im guilty.
Tupac Shakur
Perspective. You start looking at things differently, like everything's not so important. You don't take things so personally. Everyone changes, becomes better people. We all should get that chance.
