More quotes by Tupac Shakur
Instead of war on poverty, they got a war on drugs so the police can bother me.
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
It was hell, hugging my Mama from a jail cell.

Tupac Shakur
Strugglin' and striving, that's how the dough come.
Tupac Shakur
I put the pistol by my head, and say a prayer. I see visions of me dead, Lord are you there?
Tupac Shakur
We look at death from the selfish side, like: That guy died. Oh, it's so sad. Why is it sad? He's away from all of this bad stuff that's here on Earth. I mean, at the worst, he's just somewhere quiet, no nothing. At best, he's an angel... or he's a spirit somewhere. What is so bad about that?
Tupac Shakur
When I say ' thug' I mean not a criminal, someone who beats you over the head, I mean the underdog. You could have two people- one person has everything he needs to succeed and one person has nothing. If the person who has nothing succeeds, he's a thug. Cuz he overcame all the obstacles.
Tupac Shakur
I don't see myself being special I just see myself having more responsibilities than the next man. People look to me to do things for them, to have answers.
Tupac Shakur
In my brain all I think about is fame.
