Tupac Shakur

I
The day u chose 2 leave me
u rained constantly outside
In truth I swore the rain 2 be

before u came the triangle never broke.
we were bonded and melded as one,
but as the 2 pushed u away,
the one got weak and embraced u

A creative heart, obsessed with satisfying
this dormant and uncaring society
you have given them the stars at night
and u have given them

They could never understand
what u set out 2 do
instead they chose 2
ridicule u

Can You See the Pride In the Panther
As he grows in splendor and grace
Topling obstacles placed in the way,
of the progression of his race.

excuse me but lady liberty needs glasses
and so does mrs justice by her side
both the broads r blind as bats
stumbling thru the system

Take one's adversity
Learn from their misfortune
Learn from their pain
Believe in something

i exist in the depths of solitude
pondering my true goal
trying 2 find peace of mind
and still preserve my soul

Today is filled with anger
fueled with hidden hate
scared of being outcast
afraid of common fate

when your hero falls from grace
all fairy tales r uncovered
myths exposed and pain magnified
the greatest pain discovered

u r the omega of my heart
the foundation of my conception of love
when i think of what a black woman should be
its u that i first think of

In the event of my Demise
when my heart can beat no more
I Hope I Die For A Principle
or A Belief that I had Lived 4
