More quotes by Tupac Shakur
I'm a thug. And my thug comes from... my definition of thug comes from half of the street element. Straight street hustling.
Tupac Shakur
To me, a perfect album talks about the hard stuff and the fun and caring stuff.
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
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
I try to find my way in the world you know, I try to be somebody instead of just, make money off of everybody.
Tupac Shakur
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
I feel close to Marvin Gaye, Vincent van Gogh, because nobody appreciated his work until he was dead. Now it's worth millions.
Tupac Shakur
My mother was a woman. A black woman. A single mother. Raising two kids on her own. So she was dark skinned. Had short hair. Got no love from nobody except for a group called the Black Panthers. So that's why she was a Black Panther.
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
And still, the best of us build, and reach monetary gains. Some of us kill, but still, most of us can change.
Tupac Shakur
We talk a lot about Malcom X and Martin Luther King JR, but it's time to be like them, as strong as them. They were mortal men like us and everyone of us can be like them. 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
I said it in the beginning. That I was gonna take them niggaz out the game and sure enough I will. Already people can't look at Biggie and not laugh.
Tupac Shakur
I just don't know how to deal with so many people giving me that much affection. I never had that in my life.
Tupac Shakur
Mama raised a hellraiser why cry, That's just life in the ghetto, do or die.
Tupac Shakur
The same crime element that white people are scared of black people are scared of. While they waiting for legislation to pass, we next door to the killer. All them killers they let out, they're in that building. Just because we black, we get along with the killers? What is that?
Tupac Shakur
EVEN THOUGH I'M MARKED FOR DEATH, I'MA SPARK TILL I LOSE MY BREATH
Tupac Shakur
Faith my homegirl. I just wanna send a shout out to Faith. Hey girl.
Tupac Shakur
I'm responsible for what i did. I'm not responible for what every black male did. Yes! I call myself a THUG, because i grew up in the ghetto. And im still standing.
Tupac Shakur
Our unborn never got to grow, never got to see what's, next, In this world full of countless threats.
Tupac Shakur
I'm on my knees begging, please come and save me.
Tupac Shakur
