Picture me inside the misery of poverty, no man alive has ever witnessed struggles ive survived, praying hard for better days promised to hold on me and my dogs aint have a choice but to hold on.
Tupac Shakur
In my mind I'm a blind man doin' time.

I only wrote one song in jail. But I'm writing new album - you're going to feel the entire 11 months of what I went through on this album. I'm venting my anger.
Tupac Shakur
My raps are a decision, rabble rousing, spiritual, like gospel music. I don't want to dance. We have so many things to deal with, we need to talk straight up and down.
Tupac Shakur
I don't understand how people can stand next to you one year,and next year, they cannot. They're going crazy, screaming. They can't take it that you're there. But last year I was in the same club,walking around,lonely like a motherfucker. Couldn't get a date or a dance. I was too skinny, too something, and now, He's just adorable. He's just, oh!
Tupac Shakur
I remember Marvin Gaye used to sing to me, He had me feelin' like black was the thing to be.

Misplaced hate makes disgrace the races.
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
My family tree consists of drug dealers, thugs, and killers.
Tupac Shakur
Let me say for the record, I am not a gangster and never have been. I'm not the thief who grabs your purse. I'm not the guy who jacks your car. I'm not down with people who steal and hurt others. I'm just a brother who fights back. I'm not some violent closet psycho. I've got a job. I'm an artist.
Tupac Shakur
Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete? Proving nature's laws wrong, it learned to walk without having feet. Funny, it seems to by keeping it's dreams it learned to breathe fresh air. Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else even cared.
Tupac Shakur
I can't give up. It's a rap thang. And I ain't goin back to the crack game.
Tupac Shakur
Nothing but pain, stuck in this game, searching for fortune and fame.
Tupac Shakur
Imperfection is inherited, therefore we all sin, but fighting the war of sin is the greatest war of all because we all die in the end no matter how hard we fight.
Tupac Shakur
It aint about black or white cause we`re human

Only God can judge me.
Tupac Shakur
I didn't get that power from gunz..coz there's no gunz in jail..I got that power from books and from thinking and strategizing...... That's what I want little niggaz to see.
Tupac Shakur
There's gon' be some stuff you gon' see that's gon' make it hard to smile in the future. But through whatever you see, through all the rain and the pain, you gotta keep your sense of humor. You gotta be able to smile through all this bullshit. Remember that.
Tupac Shakur
Can't close my eyes cause all I see is terror I hate the man in the mirror Cause his reflection makes the pain turn realer
