Tupac Amaru Shakur Biography

Tupac Amaru Shakur, aka 2Pac, aka Makaveli was born as Lesane Parish Crooks.
Many might don't know, but he was born on the east side in New York city on 16th June 1971.His parents were political activists members of "The Black Panther Party".
Pac's mother Afeni Shakur was pregnant with Tupac while she was in jail on bombing harges and she might not known who his father was at that time.2Pac thought in his early years that a man named "Legs" was his father.That man introduced his mother to crack.He was a very small child when his mother changed his name to Tupac Amaru Shakur after Inca Indian revoliutionary.The new name Tupac Amaru means "Shining serpent" and Shakur means "Thankful to God" translate from Arabic.It's known that everybody called Tupac "The Black Prince".When 2Pac was two years old his sister Sekyiwa Shakur was born.This child's father might be Mutulu Shakur.He also was a black panther, an activist who few months before the birth of his child was sentenced for a fatal amoured-car robbery,which took place in 1981.Hard times expect the family with Mutulu away.They moved to Bronx, Harlem and homeless shelters.Later Tupac said "I remember crying all the time.My major thing growin' up was that i couldn't fit in.I have no buddies that i grew up with."
Beceuse of that instability Tupac grew up a troublesome child.When 2Pac was 10 his mother moved to Baltimore in the hope to give his little boy a chance in life.He began to study in "Baltimore School of Arts".In his early years he showed a lot of talent.Everybody understood at some point that this kid was special.In that school he wrote his first rap under ti alias "MC New York" in June 1986.Despite the happiness in Baltimore his mother moved again, this time away from the east side to Marine City in California-America's westside.Like all of you know both America's side would become the biggest factor of Tupac's life and death.The feud between gang members and rappers on East and West side will escalate out of control with Pac's help and will become legendary.After leaving Baltimore 2Pac said "leaving this school affected me so much I see that as a point where I got of track".Shortly after moving Tupac moves in bad neighbourhood and began to slang drugs.2Pac's hood can be called anyway but not normal.Pac was ever in struggle even in his earliest memories.That affected his life and later his songs global.Many people don't understand Tupac and they're dissing him.But they don't know what he's been through and what he saw in the ghetto.Very few people realize what kind of man you have to be to elevate to the top of that ghetto shit that's surrounding you and became the greatest rapper of all time.You need a lot a character and you have to be blessed.2Pac had two sides as a personal and as a rapper.A brutal side that made him do very bad things.And a good side that many don't know.

If people knew Tupac, meet him or listen to him before he became a gangster and thug they will understand that he had another side.In 1991 when he was with his first tour with Digital Underground 2Pac talk about how he wants to turn everything bad to good and change the world.He proclaims with enthusiasm of youth who wants to accomplish everything at once.That was before he became a gangster and thug.

2Pac tended to draw a lot a attention when he speak because he make people laugh but also listen to him.It was hard not to like him because he looked well and dressed well.But the things he saw in his life before affected him so much.Later in his career he showed more of his dark side.But still in his songs if we look deeper we can see the good side of him.Through all the struggles 2Pac and his homies had to get over he still told them "Keep Ya Head Up".He inspire many people.But his dark side also affect many people in bad ways.Tupac seemed to constantly strugle with his both sides.He seemed like he can decide what to be-a gang member and a thug or a "revolutionary".

In 1990 Tupac entered rap group named Digital Underground as a rapper/singer and went on a tour with them.By this time he was arrested 8 times.Once again he was showing both sides of his soul.He was even a subject of two dead cases.One of them involved a six year old kid killed in a gunfire between 2Pac's gang and a rival gang.while he was on the tour with his group Tupac learned that his mother Afeni is doing crack.That affects him a lot and also affects his songs at that time.A time which he said was the baddest time in his life so far.But yet 2pac was in the group trying to get on his own one day.And on 3rd January 1991 Tupac made his recording debut on Digital Underground's Same Song.In 1991 Pac entered his best years.He broke free from Digital Underground and on November 12th 1991 he releases his debut solo album "2PACALYPSE NOW".The album was hot at that time and eventually was going to be gold with the help of his singles releases such as "Brenda's got a baby".However shortly after his release he had problems with the law again.In the same year 2Pac made his film debut in Erick Dickinson's film named "Juice".The film had a success in Hollywood and earnt Tupac a praise for his character "Bishop".May be he was best remembered for the line "I'm crazy and I don't give a fuck!"

On April 11th 1992 Ronald Ray Howard aged 19 shoots a Texas trooper.The attorney of the youngster claim that Tupac lyrics from the his debut album incited the kid to kill the trooper.That had a very bad effect on Pac`s life and career.His problems with the law and his lifestyle from now on came on closer scrunity.The only thing that helped 2Pac at the time was that his audiences believed his gangster lyrics to be truthful and most importantly not fake.
In 1993 Tupac releases his second album named "STRICTLY 4 MY N.I.G.G.A.Z" which became a platinum.In the same year he participate in the movie "Poetic Justice" with Janet Jackson.But because of his reputation with women, Janet requested him to have a HIV test before she do any kissing scenes with him.Despite his success and rising fame 2Pac still had problems with the law that included a violent attack on a police officer.Because of his "anti-police" and "agressive" lyrics the Vice President of USA declare that Tupac's lyrics "promote gang violence and have no place in society".But that declaration made him more popular.And a lot a people start to see him as a True Thug.However 2pac's life was put in doubt in November 30th 1994 when he was shot 5 times and also robbed in the lobby of Quad Studies in New York's Time Square.The thieves made of with 40,000$ jewellery.Later Tupac said that rapper named Biggie aka Notorious B.I.G was involved in the shooting.That made tension between East and West coast and got them into a beef.Tupac and Biggie began to lyrically attack each other as they were each from opposite coasts.The two rappers used to be a friends before and used to work together earlier in their carriers.But because of many public feuds like:Biggie stole lyrics from 2Pac whilst he was in jail,Biggie and Bad Boys Records supposed act of betrayal in Tupac's attempted assassination,the fact that 2Pac switch sides and go from Baltimore to California on the west coast,and that Tupac claimed that he slept with Biggie's wife Faith Evans,the beef between these two became worse.

Tupac got out of the hospital just 3 hours after the surgery and recovered to record some of his most popular songs.But there was another problem on his way to his dream.He was sentenced to 4 and a half years in jail in New York because of his convention of weapons and sexual assault.The legendary "Me Against The World" was released whilst his sentence.But despite that the song debuted as N1 in the USA "Billboard Chart".While 2Pac was in jail the president of biggest and powerful hip hop label Death Row ,Marion "Suge" Knight had arranged parole for Tupac who only served 8 months of his sentence and posted $1.4 million bail.The deal was that 2Pac was signed by Death Row Records and had to release 3 albums under that label.Few months later he released his third album named "All eyez on me".The album became very popular and became over 9 times platinum after selling 6 million copies in it's first year.The album featured the song "California Love" featuring rap legend Dr.Dre.Tupac earned worldwide success and was the biggest influence on the youth since the legendary N.W.A..In the same year Tupac receive many offers by producers.He concentrate on his acting and participate in 2 films-"GRIDLOCKD" and "BULLET".

But Tupac couldn't escape his dark side as he continued to get in trouble with the police and other people.He also continued East coast vs West coast beef with the song "2 of Amerikaz most Wanted"(featuring Snoop Doggy Dogg).In the video caricatures of Biggie and Puffy are punished for setting him up.Tupac continue to attack with his song "Hit em up" which is a brutal diatribe against Biggie, Bad Boy, Mobb Deep, Jay Z and others.This beef was getting more serious every single day and the possibility to end with brutal violence was bigger than ever.2Pac continued to get himself into trouble.On September 4th he went back to East coast and especially New York for MTV music awards.Then he got into scuffle.Just three days later on September 7th for reasons still not known to the police he got into a scuffle at the "Mike Tyson vs Bruce Seldon" fight in Las Vegas.After leaving the fight with Death Row CEO Suge Knight in his car Tupac was shot 4 times by an assailant in white cadillac in drive by style.Suge Knight could escape with minor injury.Tupac is rushed to University Medical Center and undergoes a surgery.The issue - 2Pac's right lung was removed.On September 11th a Compton man was is shot.The police associated him with LA Crips Gang.He was shot while sitting in his car.This is the first of many murders after Tupac was shot few days later.Six days later Tupac passed away at 4:03 pm five days after the shooting took place at young age 25.Tupac said it too often that he didn't believe he will live more than 30 years.That may be because of his lifestyle.He changed his alias to Makaveli reffering to the italian politician Machiavelli who wrote about cheating death.The main suspect of Pac's murder Orlando Anderson was also shot death.Close friend of Tupac and member of his group "The Outlawz" Yafeu Fula aka Kadaffi was also killed.

After Tupac's dead his mother Afeni Shakur filed a lawsuit against Death Row.She wanted all of her sons' material to be passed on to herself.She said that Tupac was making plans to leave Death Row and start his own company.Later Amaru set up "Amaru Records".Many raised from releases would go to good cause."TASF" aka Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation would help many kids from poor area to have a chance in life.
2Pac's first album after his death was released on November 5,1996 and was named "Makaveli: The 7 Day Theory" the last album on Death Row Records.His next album was released more than a year later on November 27,1997 and was named "R U Still Down (remember me).He was released on Amaru/Jive records and was certified platinum on December 15 ,1997.Tupac next album was double CD named "Greatest Hits" released on November 24,1998.It is collection of his best songs.That album is maybe his most popular one and reached platinum level 9 times.That shows once again that 2Pac is still popular and maybe more popular after his dead.On December 14, 1999 was released his next album named "Still I Rise".He became 2X platinum.The next one "The Rose That Grew From Concrete" was released on November 21,2000.After half year on March 27,2001 was released his next album named "Until The End Of Time".He became 2X platinum.Most memorable hits from that one are "Until the end of time" the remix of the song "Broken wings' and "Letter to my unbourn".

By this point every fan of Tupac is shocked because of the simple fact that 5 years after his death his newest albums feature new songs as good if not better as the old ones.However on November 26,2002 was released his next album named "Better Dayz".The next album release on 6th Octomber 2003 was named "Nu-Mixx Klazzics" and was released by Death Row Records who of course lost the right ot 2Pac unreleased work.So the album featured remixes of his old hits such as "2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted' , "How Do You Want It" and "Hit Em Up".The next official release is on 10th November,2003 - "Tupac:Ressurection" in form of a soundtrack to the official documentary.The album feature some of his unreleased vocals and some of his first singles.On the August 16th,2004 Death Row released another album named "2Pac-Live"
featuring also old material remixes and live appearences of Tupac.

A few months later on 13th December,2004 Amaru/Interscope records release next 2Pac
album - "Loyal To The Game" again featuring nothing but new unheard lyrics.The album
received weak reviews because around 90% of the tracks on the release was produced by Eminem.However in the album Tupac is heard to say "G-Unit in the house" and also "my nigga Obie".The fans react to that bad because they felt like these rappers-Eminem , Obie Trice and also G-Unit are not gangsters or "fakes" if you want.The fans felt like if 2Pac was alive these fakes would never appear on his album because they are "non-gangsters".Despite its weak reviews the album sold over 300,000 copies in the first week.Pac appeared on many compilations mixtapes and soundtracks.And we still've not reached the end of his unreleased original recordings.So we can look forward to another and another album from Tupac on "Amaru Records".

2Pac-Hail Mary lyrics

[Chorus: Makaveli]

Come with me, Hail Mary
Run quick see, what do we have here
Now, do you wanna ride or die
La dadada, la la la la

[Makaveli]
I ain't a killer but don't push me
Revenge is like the sweetest joy next to getting pussy
Picture paragraphs unloaded, wise words being quoted
Peeped the weakness in the rap game and sewed it
Bow down, pray to God hoping that he's listening
Seeing niggas coming for me, to my diamonds, when they glistening
Now pay attention, rest in peace father
I'm a ghost in these killing fields
Hail Mary catch me if I go, let's go deep inside
the solitary mind of a madman who screams in the dark
Evil lurks, enemies, see me flee
Activate my hate, let it break, to the flame
Set trip, empty out my clip, never stop to aim
Some say the game is all corrupted, fucked in this shit
Stuck, niggas is lucky if we bust out this shit, plus
mama told me never stop until I bust a nut
Fuck the world if they can't adjust
It's just as well, Hail Mary

[Chorus 2X]

[Makaveli]
Penitentiaries is packed with promise makes
Never realize the precious time the bitch niggas is wasting
Institutionalized I lived my life a product made to crumble
But too hardened for a smile, we're too crazy to be humble, we balling
Catch me father please, cause I'm falling, in the liquor store
That's the Hennessee I hear ya calling, can I get some more?
Hail 'til I reach Hell, I ain't scared
Mama checking in my bedroom; I ain't there
I got a head with no screws in it, what can I do
One life to live but I got nothing to lose, just me and you
on a one way trip to prison, selling drugs
We all wrapped up in this living, life as Thugs
To my homeboys in Clinton Max, doing they bid
Raise hell to this real shit, and feel this
When they turn out the lights, I'll be down in the dark
Thuggin eternal through my heart, now Hail Mary nigga

[Chorus 2X]

[Kastro]
They got a APB, out on my Thug family
Since the Outlawz run these streets, like these skanless freaks
Our enemies die now, walk around half dead
Head down, K blasted off Hennessee and Thai
Trying it, mixed it, now I'm twisted blisted and high
Visions of me, Thug living getting me by
Forever live, and I multiply survived by Thugs
When I die they won't cry unless they coming with slugs

[Young Noble]
Peep the whole scene and whatever's going on around me
Brain kinda cloudy, smoked out feeling rowdy
Ready to wet the party up, and whoever in that motherfucker
Nasty new street, slugger my heat seeks suckers
on the regular mashing in a stolen black Ac Integ-ra
Cock back, sixty seconds 'til the draw that's when I'm dead in ya
Feet first, you got a nice gat but my heat's worse
From a Thug to preaching church, I gave you love now you eating dirt
Needing work, and I ain't the nigga to put you on
Cause word is bond when I was broke I had to hustle 'til dawn
That's when sun came up, there's only one way up
hold ya head and stay up, to all my niggas get ya pay and weight up

[Kastro]
If it's on then it's on, we break beat-breaks
Outlawz on a paper chase, can you relate
to this shit I don't got, be the shit I gotta take
Dealing with fate, hoping God don't close the gate
If it's on then it's on, we break beat-breaks
Outlawz on a paper chase, can you relate
to this shit I don't got, be the shit I gotta take
Dealing with fate, hoping God don't close the gate

[Chorus (repeats in background)]

[Prince Ital]
We've been traveling on this wayward road
Long time 'til I be take a 'eavy load
But we ride, ride it like a bullet
Hail Mary, Hail Mary
We won't worry everything will come real
Free like the bird in the tree
We won't worry everything will come real
Yes we free like the bird in the tree
We running from the penitentiary
This is the time for we liberty
Hail Mary, Hail Mary

[Chorus]

[Makaveli]
Westside, Outlawz, Makaveli the Don, Solo, Killuminati, The 7 Days

2pac - From The Cradle To The Grave lyrics

[Chorus]

From tha Cradle to the Grave, life ain't never been easy
Living in the ghetto.

From the cradle to the grave, life ain't never been easy
Living in the ghetto.

June 16, 1971
Mama gave birth
to a hell raisin' heavanly son.
See the doctor tried to smack me
but I smacked him back,
My first words were "thug for life"
and "Papa pass the Mac."
I'm bustin' on these motha fuckas ballin'
Listen you can hear my mini 14 callin'.
From out the window of my drop top
I got my glock cocked
bustin' at niggas
when will it stop ?
Now tell me are you scared of the dark?
Can't close my eyes I see visions
And even with this thug livin'
will I escape in prison ?
Penitentiary chances was an all day thang
The only way to advance
and if you slang
Then you'd better have your nikes on
Cause when we fight
it's in the middle of the night with no lights on.
Hey!!
There must be a God cause I feel lucky,
Paranoid out my mind
this motha fucka's tryin' to rush me.
Am I goin' to jail?
Look at me bailin'
Commin' out the court house
all about mail and bank
Never die
be a hustler mothafuckas
And makin' thugs out you suckas.
From the cradle to the grave.

[Chorus]

From the cradle to the grave, life ain't never been easy
Living in the ghetto. easy

From the cardle to the grave, life ain't never been easy
Living in the ghetto.

From the cradle to the grave
since a little bitty child
I've been known to get ill and kinda buck wild.
Pop pop!
just like the part that's in my walk with street talk
I'm runnin' up the block in the dark with less spark.
Survalience on a nigga every day,
Waitin' on my daddy just to take his ass away.
Now Mama always workin' tryin' to make ends meet.
So now a young niggas bein' raised by the streets.
And then the on other one that ever showed me love
Was my dope fiend uncle strung out on drugs
a striaght thug.
Just me, my mama out here on our own
So I got two gatts
one black and one of chrome.
Now I don't wanna hurt nobody but I must defend mine!
It's all the fuck I got
so stop and walk a thin line.
Young niggas be brave
and keep on thuggin' from the cradle to the grave,
From the cradle to the grave.

[Chorus]

From the cradle to the grave, life ain't never been easy
Living in the ghetto.

From the cradle to the grave, I'm glad to say
I made it this far.
Many G's died hard
and all they got was their name here up on a wall.
It's sad thinkin' about the times
Life goes on, I'm steady lost in this land...
as the warzone I got no home
don't have no friends neither.
It's just me by my lonely so I married my nina.
I keeps her wherever I go,
I love my ho.
Never leave home with out my sugar.
I'm hafta plug a nigga.
Mama told me not to trust no punks,
And kick his ass if he lay a hand on me.
Since then I been known.
Sometimes I think my own self stupid
Cause I stay shootin' at marks,
Get twisted up in police reports.
Since the cradle, I've been ungreatful.
My first toy was a gun
I got sprung and learn to love weapons.
But now I'm through with money
and through with street fame.
Somebody peeled my cap and put me in my grave.

[Chorus]

From the cradle to the grave, life ain't never been easy
Living in the ghetto.

From the cradle to the grave, life ain't never been easy
Living in the ghetto.

March 18th
a rainy day my mama gave birth
To a baby boy trapped in hell on Earth.
From day one it wasn't fun I never had a crumb.
Daddy worked two jobs and Mama won't stop drinkin' rum.
I tried to cope loc
but my family's broke
And my pocket's short
so now I gotta sling dope.
In a game filled with pain it's a fuckin' shame,
The white man got a motha fucka slingin' cane.
So now it's on from dusk to dawn I get my serve on.
Always in the spot with my glock slingin' rocks at the rocks.
Shit don't stop I'm steady dodgin' cops.
I never flip flop
hear my glock cock
thug till I drop.
And if I hit the pen I gotta do my time
Sittin' on my bunk reminiscing about the good times.
It's fucked up a nigga gotta grow up doing dirt,
But from the cradle to the grave I'ma put in work.

[Chorus]

From the cradle to the grave, life ain't never been easy
Living in the ghetto.

From the cradle to the grave, life ain't never been easyy
Living in the ghetto.

Time's movin' fast
will I last another day?
So I pray and I lay with my A-K.
Did I sell my soul as a young kid?
All the things I did
Wishin' someone held me
but they never did.
I can't take it
will I make it to my older age?
Before I'm shot up or locked up in a fuckin' cage.
Lord help me, guide me, save me!
Cause that's the way that Daddy raised me
crazy.
Do or die. Nigga pull the trigger don't give a fuck.
You'd rather be in jail than get your ass bucked.
Nobody cares, it's me against the world.
Keepin' murder on my mind and my tech-9.
I got nothin' to lose, payin' dues, nigga you wanna die?
I get high
then my mission is a walk-by.
You'd better jet when I hit your set cause I'm commin'.
Start runnin' yellin' "evil mind" as I'm gunnin'.
One in the chamber for the anger that I build inside,
For the mothers that cried, for my homies that died.
The begining is an ending, am I just a slave?
So I got to be brave from the cradle to the grave.

[Chorus til fade]

2Pac-Letter to my unborn child lyrics

To my unborn child..
To my unborn child.. in case I don't make it
Just remember daddy loves you
[talking in background]
To my unborn child..
To my unborn..

[2Pac]
Now ever since my birth, I've been cursed since I'm born to wild
in case I never get to holla at my unborn child
Many things learned in prison, blessed and still livin
Tryin to earn every penny that I'm gettin, and reminiscin
to the beginnin of my mission
When I was conceived, and came to be in this position
My momma was a Panther loud, single parent but she proud
when she witnessed baby boy rip a crowd
To school, but I dropped out, and left the house
Cause my mama say I'm good for nothin, so I'm out
Since I only got one life to live, God forgive me for my sins
Let me make it and I'll never steal again, or deal again
My only friend is my misery
Wantin revenge for the agony they did to me
See my life ain't promised but it'll sure get better
Hope you understand my love letter, to my unborn child

[Chorus: sung, with 2Pac ad libs]
I'm writing you a letter
This is to my unborn child
Wanna let you know I love you
Love you, if you didn't know I feel this way
How I, think about you every day
I have so much to say

[2Pac]
Seems so complicated to escape fate
And you can never understand 'til we trade places
Tell the world I feel guilty to bein anxious
Ain't no way in hell, that I could ever be rapist
It's hard to face this, cold world on a good day
When will they let the little kids in the hood play?
I got shot five times but I'm still breathin
Livin proof there's a God if you need a reason
Can I believe in my own fate
Will I raise my kids in the right, or the wrong way?
Dear mama I'm a man now
I wanna make it on my own, not a handout
Make way for a whirlwind prophesized
I wanna go in peace.. when I gotta die
On these cold streets, ain't no love, no mercy, and no friends
In case you never see my face again
To my unborn child

[Chorus]

[2Pac]
Dear Lord can you hear me, tell me what to say
to my unborn seed in, case I pass away
Will my child get to feel love
Or are we all just cursed to be street thugs? Cause bein black hurts
And even worse if you speak first
Livin my life as an Outlaw, what could be worse?
Cause maybe if I tried to change
Who I'm kiddin? I'ma thug 'til I die, I'ma rider mayne
Touch bases, eat lunch at plush places
Regular criminal oasis awaits us
If there's a ghetto for true thugs, I'll see you there
And I'm sorry for not bein there
Just know your daddy was a soldier, me against the world
Bless the boys, and all my little girls
To the Lord I'm eternal, restin in peace
Please take care of all my seeds, to my unborn child

[Chorus - repeat to fade]

[2Pac over Chorus]
To my unborn child.. please take of all my kids
My unborn child.. to my unborn child
This letter goes out to.. to the seeds that I might not get to see
cause of this lifestyle
Just know that your daddy loves you, got nuttin but love for you
All I wanted was for you have a better life than I did
That's why I was out here on a twenty-four hour 365 grind
When you get to be my age you'll understand
Just know I got love for you
And I'll see you up there in the ghetto heaven
Cause ghetto heaven gotta be there.. haha, take care
Run wild, but be smart
Follow the rules of the game
I know that sometimes it's confusin
The rules of the game is gonna get you through it, all day everyday
Watch out for these snakes and fakes, friends comin down the way..

2Pac-When Thugs Cry lyrics

When thugs cry..
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my guns to keep
If I die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take
God as my witness, when thugs cry, too much is hard

[2Pac]
Born thuggin and lovin the way I came up
Big money clutchin, bustin while evadin cocaine busts
My pulse rushin, send my pulse into insanity
Shout at my cousin now we bustin if they yo' family
The coppers wanna see me buried, I ain't worried
I got a line on the D.A. cause I'm fuckin his secretary
I black out and start cussin, bust 'em and touch 'em all
They panic and bitches duckin, I rush 'em and fuck 'em all
I'll probably be an old man before I understand
why I had to live my life with pistols close at hand
Kidnapped my homey's sister, cut her face up bad
They even raped so we blazed they pad
Automatic shots rang out, on every block
They puttin hits out on politicians, even cops, I ain't lyin
They got me sleepin with my infrared beams
And in my dreams I hear motherfuckers screamin
What is the meaning, when thugs cry?

[Chorus: singers]
Oh why, children send your child off to die
In the streets of chalk where they lie
Let no wrongs cry out when thugs cry
Dear God..
Oh why, does it have to be this way, our
children of today won't stay wise
Let the children hear when thugs cry
Dear God.. oh why..

[("When thugs cry") on line 4, first time only]
[("thugs cry") on line 6, first time only]

[2Pac]
Heh.. maybe my addiction to friction got me buggin
Where is the love? Never quit my ambition to thug
Ain't shed a tear since the old school years of elementary
Niggaz I used to love, enclosed in penitentiaries
But still homey keep it real, how does it feel
to lose your life, over somethin that you did as a kid?
You all alone, no communication, block on the phone
Don't get along with yo' pop, and plus your moms is gone
Where did we go wrong? I put my soul in the song
to help us grow at times, but now our minds are gone
We went from brothers and sisters, to niggaz and bitches
We went from welfare livin, to worldwide riches
But somethin changed in this dirty game, everything's strange
Lost all my homies over cocaine.. mayne
See they ask me if I shed a tear, I ain't lie
See you gotta get high or die, cause even thugs cry

[Chorus]

[2Pac]
And all I see is these paranoid bitches, illegal adventures
Bustin motherfuckers with uppercuts, I leave 'em with dentures
Cause in my criminal mind, nobody violates the Don
I write your name on a piece of paper, now your family's gone
Why perpetrate like you can handle my team?
So merciless that my attack'll take command of your dreams
Leavin motherfuckers drownin in they own blood
Clownin takin pictures later
Laugh bout the punk bitches, that turned snitches
Regulate my area, the terror I represent
Makin yo' people disappear, you wonderin where they went?
Am I cold or is it just I sold my soul?
Addicted to these streets, never find true peace I'm told
Come take my body God, don't let me suffer any longer
Smoke a pound of marijuana, so I know it ain't long
Where is the end to all my misery, is there a close?
I suppose that's why I murder my foes, when thugs cry

[Chorus]

[2Pac over Chorus]
I shed tattooed tears for years
for my dead homeboys and my prison peers
Y'all ain't never heard my cries
Now you wonder why would you die?

[Chorus]

2Pac-Made Niggaz

My favourite 2Pac song!Enjoy it.

2Pac-Made Niggaz lyrics

2Pac]
No man seperate what we create
Unstoppable, untouchable, motherfuckin worldwide mob figures
Death Row at it's finest!
M.O.B., thug for motherfuckin lifeMotherfuckin made niggaz
We comin after these niggaz, worldwide
Feel me! Makaveli the Don

My life in exchange for yours, born hated as a thug
House full of babies cryin from a lack of gettin love
Ain't nobody tell me shit, 'til I got a sack of drugs
Had the block sewn up, cause I learned to pack a gun, do you
feel me?
World do ya hear me? Catch a risin star
Fuck the love, niggaz fear me
Got these niggaz runnin all wild from my double-I
When we ride motherfuckers is sho' to die
Boom once I enter the room, in the air
all you hear is the whispers of doom, niggaz scared
They don't wanna see me head on..
Think of all the busters that I had to leave dead and gone
Call a gravedigga, fuckin with a made nigga, M.O.B.
Gunfire gettin sprayed quicker..
Fuck 'em all let em understand my plot to get richer
Much more than six figures, a motherfuckin made nigga

(Can you feel me?)
A motherfuckin made nigga..
I got a plot to get richer, take my picture
A made nigga

[Napolean]
Nigga I was raised on the streets, I had to hustle just to eat
My role model was killin niggaz so I know, I would never be
weak
They got me sittin wonderin, where my life begins
These niggaz crossed my father den my father crossed them
Cause I roll with Immortal Thug niggaz
And my number one plan to kill a man to grab a needle and drug
niggaz
Niggaz don't like us because they bitches straight love us
The President told us to leave, cause the government don't want
us
It's Napolean, I get my pleasure out of sin
and seein blood spill ain't shit cause I seen it at the
beginnin
A made nigga

[Fatal Hussein]
How many niggaz fall in ya vision?
Gunnin 'em down for every last minute that I spent in prison
We mash together, plus we get cash together
Blast whenever knowin it don't last forever
It's only one way out and one way in
Motherfuckers cross and get crossed out, never made men
We find excuses to loot, cock, and shoot
Blow the roof off them groups like (?)Rachmel Raouf(?)
I can't be touched cause of the weapons I clutch
And the niggaz that I'm under, is just too much
We made niggaz

[E.D.I.]
Picture the scenery cause for now you gon' have to imagine
Call me a prophet cause I predicted what's gon' happen
I began the paper, stackin at those
who be paper snatchin, will emerge like crack in the 80's
Baby, maybe, that's if I slip
But I became official since the start of this, Edi Amin
Born July, 7th a few shed eyes
Precious but others gave me they hate, to cherish
But still I made it, a made nigga made by the game
Made for war, my aim is simple and plain
Yeah whether it's 'caine, or these tracks made for your brain
You'll forever know my name, Edi Amin

[Kastro]
I ain't count the line, my strap, not head,
there will be none of that
The young hog, K-Dog playin Outlaw Immortal combat
With the criminal skill, they cannot beat me a nigga
Til he still and chill, recognize the real dea
lFeel - a nigga made when I was young and dumb
with a gun but it pays so I'm bustin for fun
And the outcome will be the same every time
We all gon' die, get yours cause I'ma get mine

[Khadafi]
Tha Outlawz, we be the Don Juan's of this rough shit
Rhymes baptize your mind while paralyze the public
With my mentality of war, dead bodies and silence give it to ya
raw
Thug nigga to the core
The results of livin poor, got me thinkin on a made level
Shootin my gauge to get paid, a fuckin crazed devil
Mash shit from here to there day by day, year to year
Made niggaz on ya motherfuckin tear, I'm a made nigga

Y'all niggaz about to feel this
Ain't nuttin but a gangsta party
Break out the champagne glasses
and the motherfuckin condoms
Have one on us aight??
Ain't nuttin but a gangsta party

[Verse One: 2Pac, Snoop]

Picture perfect, I paint a perfect picture
Bomb the hoochies with precision my intention's to get richer
With the S-N double-O-P, Dogg my fuckin homey
Youse a cold ass nigga on them hogs

Sho nuff, I keep my hand on my gun, cuz they got me on the run
Now I'm back in the courtroom waitin on the outcome
Free Tupac, is all that's on a niggaz mind
But at the same time it seem they tryin to take mine
So I'ma get smart, and get defensive and shit
And put together a million march, for some gangsta shit

So now they got us laced
Two multimillionare motherfuckers catchin cases (mmm)
Bitches get ready for the throwdown, the shit's about to go down
Uhh, me and Snoop about to clown
I'm "Losin My Religion", I'm vicious on these stool pigeons
You might be deep in this game, but you got the rules missin
Niggaz be actin like they savage, they out to get the cabbage
I got, nuthin but love, for my niggaz livin lavish

I got a pit named P, she niggarino
I got a house out in the hills right next to Chino
and I, think I got a black Beamer
but my dream is to own a fly casino
like Bugsy Seagel, and do it all legal
and get scooped up, by the little homie in the Regal
Mmm, it feel good to you baby bubba
Ya see, this is for the G's and the keys motherfucker

Now follow as we riiiiide
Motherfuck the rest, two of the best from the West side
And I can make you famous
Niggaz been dyin for years, so how could they blame us
I live in fear of a felony
I never stop bailin these, motherfuckin G's
If ya got it better flaunt it, another warrant
2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted

[Chorus:]
Ain't nuttin but a gangsta party
Ain't nuttin but a gangsta party
[Tupac] Nuthin but a gangsta party...

motherfuckin gangsta party
Ain't nuttin but a gangsta party
Nuthin but a gangsta party
it ain't nuthin but a
motherfuckin gangsta party
Ain't nuttin but a gangsta party

[Verse Two: 2Pac, Snoop]

Now give me fifty feet
Defeat is not my destiny, release me to the streets
And keep whatever's left of me
Jealousy is misery, suffering is grief
Better be prepared when you cowards fuck wit me
I bust and flea, these niggaz must be crazy what??
There ain't no mercy motherfuckers who can fade the Thugs
(hahah right) You thought it was but it wasn't, now dissapear
Bow down in the presence of a boss player

It's like cuz, blood, gangbangin
Everybody in the party doin dope slangin
You got to have papers in this world
You might get your first snatch, before your eyes swerl
Ya doing ya job, every day
And then you work so hard til ya hair turn gray
Let me tell you about life, and bout the way it is
You see we live by the gun, so we die by the gun's kids

They tell me not to roll with my glock
So now I gotta throw away
Floatin in the black Benz, tryin to do a show a day
They wonder how I live, with five shots
Niggaz is hard to kill, on my block
Schemes for currency and doe related
Affiliated with the hustlers, so we made it
No answers to questions, I'm tryin to get up on it
My nigga Dogg with me, eternally the most wanted

[Chorus (w/ variations to end)]

Menacing methods
Label me a lethal weapon
Making niggas die
Witnessing breathless imperfections
Can you picture my specific plan?
To be the man
In this wicked land
Underhanded hits are planned
These scams are plotted
Over grams of rocks
And undercover agents die by the random shots
We all die in the end so revenge we swore
I was all about my ends
Fuck friends and foes
Me a born leader never leave the block without my heater
Got me a dog and named him mobb-bitch nigga eater
??What could they do to me you little brat??
Shit them niggas done shot me
And still terrified I get (HaHaHa) they ass
How can I show you how I feel inside?
We Outlawz motherfuckers can't kill my pride
Niggaz talk alot of shit but thats after I'm gone
Cuz they fear me in the physical form
Let it be known I'm troublesome

(2Pac talking)
Troublesome nigga
Outlawz
We put it down to the fullest
Spitting rhymes and bullets
Haha...
Troublesome
Ya'll know what time it is
Call the punk police they can't stop us
Niggas run the streets Haha..
Troublesome

Yeah
Gutter ways
My mentality is ghetto
A guerrilla in this criminal war we all rebels
Death before dishonor
Bet I bomb on em first
Niggas knew we came for murder
Pulling up in the hurse
Westside was the warcry
Busting on friendly's
Screaming fuck all ya'll niggas in Swahili
Pistol packing fresh outta jail
I ain't going back
Release me to the care of my heartless trap
Say my name three times like Candyman
Bet I roll on your ass like an avalanche
A sole survivor
Learn to get high and pull drive-bys
Murder my foes, can't control my nine
Hearing thoughts of my enemies pleading please
Buster ass motherfuckers tried to flea
Picture me letting this chump survive
Ran up on his ass when I dump he died
Cuz I'm troublesome

(2Pac talking)
Young, strapped, and I don't give a fuck
I'm hopelesssss
I live a thuglife losing my focus baby
I'm troublesome

Badboy Killa
There is no one realler
What you saw was the rough rugged and raw
Outlaw OUTLAW

Murder, Murder my mind state
Shit ain't changed since my last rhyme
The crime rate ain't declined
Niggas busting shots like they lost they minds
Like 25-2-Life never crossed they mind
Tell me young nigga never learned a thing
Dead at 13 cuz he yearned to bang
Sent alot of flowers
But how could I cry?
Tried to warn the little nigga
Either stop or die
Mercy is for the weak
When I speak I scream
Afraid to spleep
I'm having crazy dreams
Vivid pictures of my enemies family times
God forgive me cuz its wrong
But I plan to die
Either take me in heaven
And understand I was a G
Did the best I could raised in insanity
Or send me to hell
Cuz I ain't begging for my life
Ain't nothing worse than this cursed ass hopeless life
I'm troublesome

(2Pac speaking)
In your wildest dreams
You couldn't picture a nigga like me
hahaha

After the pleasure there's pain
Even though we broke for the moment we'll be balling again
Time to make ya'll, my military be prepared for the busters similar to
Bitches to scary, get to near me we rush 'em
Visions of over packed prisons
Million's of niggas thug living
Pressure's, three strikes I hope they don't test us
So pull the heat out, ammunition in crate's (shh)
Move without a sound as we slide down pistols in place
I'm sensing niggas is defenceless I'm hitting fence's then getting ghost
Who can prevent me shooting senseless?
At these niggas throats
Bitch made niggas and that bullshit you going through
Outlaws busting while we rushing

F**k you niggas and that bullshit you going through

Nigga controller
Whenever y'all niggas try to roll up
Thinking I'm a ho, well, come and let me show ya
I'm a light up the rhythm like dosia
Dumping so potent, nigga don't choke up
Flow up
Makaveli The Don, got niggas strapped and ready to bomb
As soon as I send the alarm, and when we're done
We've committed a red rum, leaving the enemies dead and gone
Leaving 'em niggas head's blown, cause they know they dead wrong
When the shots ring out you know we're coming through (Know we're coming through)
Talk a lot with your mouth, well what you gon' do? (So what you gon' do?)
Shut 'em down, busters be knowing to keep they distance
Thugs don't f**k around
We get back at 'em so swiftly, niggas is with me underground
Slug in a niggas mug, reppin' Midwest Side
Niggas if you a thug get your weapon, let's ride
Ride for Pac, Pac, get live for Pac, Pac, Pop off the Glock, Glock

Only wish to breed
I explode into a million seeds
Ya'll remember me
Legendary live eternally
Bury me in pieces cause they fear reincarnation
Niggas screaming peace cause they fear when my squad face 'em
Take them to places, stake they face then erase 'em and brake 'em
Murder motherf**ker's at a rate and then quicken the pace
Blast me but never ask me to live a lie
Am I wrong cause I wanna get it on till I die?
(Westcoast)
Now I'm worldwide
Niggas gossip like girls then hide
No offence to Nas but this whole f**king world is mine
Even if you blind you can still see my prophecy
My destiny to overthrow those on top of me
Fiending for currency the money be calling
Can you feel me, dreaming?
Seeing scenes of me balling?
F**k you bitch made niggas and that bullshit you going through
Outlaws busting while we rushing
We untouchable
F**k you niggas and that bullshit you going through
We Outlaws rushing you busting
We untouchable

2Pac-My Block lyrics

They got a nigga shedding tears, reminiscin on my past fears

Cause shit was hectic for me last year
It appears that I've been marked for death

My heartless breath, the underlying cause of my arrest

My life is stressed, and no rest forever weary

My eyes stay teary for all the brothers that are buried in the
cemetery

Shit is scary, how black on black crime legendary
But at times unnessecary, I'm gettin worried

Teardrops and closed caskets, the three strikes law is drastic

And certain death for us ghetto bastards
What can we do when we're arrested, but open fire

Life in the pen ain't for me, cause I'd rather die
But don't cry through your despair

I wonder if the Lord still cares, for us niggaz on welfare

And who cares if we survive
The only time they notice a nigga is when he clutchin on a four-five

My neighborhood ain't the same
Cause all these little babies goin crazy and they sufferin in the game

And I swear it's like a trap
But I ain't given up on the hood it's all good when I go back

Hoes show me love, niggaz give me props
Forever hop cause it don't stop... on my block

Now shit's constantly hot, on my block, it never fails to be gunshots

Can't explain a mother's pain, when her son drops
Black male slippin in hail when will we prevail

Fearin jail but crack sales got me livin well
And the system's sucidal with this Thug's Life

Stayin strapped forever strapped in this drug life
God help me, cause I'm starvin, can't get a job

So I resort to violent robberies, my life is hard
Can't sleep cause all the dirt make my heart hurt

Put in work and shed tears for my dead peers
Mislead from childhood where I went astray

Till this day I still pray for a better way
Can't help but feel hopeless and heartbroke

From the start I felt the racism cause I'm dark
Couldn't quit the bullshit make me represent

Hit the bar and played the star, everywhere I went
In my heart, I felt alone out here on my own

I close my eyes and picture home... on my block
And I can't help but wonder whhhy, so many young kids had to die

Caught strays from AK's and the driveby
Swollen pride and homicide, don't coincide

Brothers cry for broken lives, mama come inside
Cause our block is filled with danger

Used to be a close knit community but now we're all cold strangers

Time changes us to stone them crack pipes
All up and down the block exterminatin black life

But I can't blame the dealers
My mama's welfare check has brought the next man chrome wheels

Shit's real, I know ya feel,
my tragedy
A single mother with a problem child, daddy free
Hangin out pickin up game, sippin cheap liquor

Gamin the hoochies hopin I can get to sleep with her
It's a man's world, stayin strapped

Fantasies of a nigga livin phat, but held back
Pipe dreams can make the night seem hopeless

Wide eyed and losin focus... on my block
And block parties in tha projects lastin way past daylight

A young nigga learned to break nine
Used to play fight with my homies but they stuck in the pen

I send them ends, but it's tough on a friend, in my mind
I see the same motherfuckers ballin

Alcohol will make a lazy nigga slip and fall, miss his call
I know the young niggaz understand this

Growing up in this world where everything is scandalous

I reminisce on tha fast times, past crimes
Tryin to cop a slice of pizza with my last dime

Can't explain, just what attracts me to this dirty game
Gold chains, some extra change, and the street fame

And what's strange is that everybody knows my name, swear they all
know me
And lots of cash make a nigga change

I hit the green just to maintain, feelin pain
For all the niggaz that I lost to the game... from my block

2Pac - To Live And Die In L.A lyrics

No doubt... to live and die in LA
California -- what you say about Los Angeles
Still the only place for me that never rains in the sun
and everybody got love

Verse One: Makaveli

To live and die in LA, where everyday we try to fatten our pockets
Us niggaz hustle for the cash so it's hard to knok it
Everybody got they own thang, currency chasin
Worldwide through the hard times, warrior faces
Shed tears as we bury niggaz close to heart
What was a friend now a ghost in the dark, cold hearted bout it
Nigga got smoked by a fiend, tryin to floss on him
Blind to a broken man's dream, a hard lesson
Court cases keep me guessin, plea bargain
ain't an option now, so I'm stressin, cost me more
to be free than a life in the pen
Makin money off of cuss words, writin again
Learn how to think ahead, so I fight with my pen
Late night down Sunset likin the scene
What's the worst they could do to a nigga got me lost in hell
To live and die in LA on bail, my angel sing

Chorus: Val Young

To live and die in LA, it's the place to be
You've got to be there to know it, what everybody wanna see
(repeat 2X)

Verse Two: Makaveli

It's the, City of Angels and constant danger
South Central LA, can't get no stranger
Full of drama like a soap opera, on the curb
Watchin the ghetto bird helicopters, I observe
So many niggaz gettin three strikes, tossed in jail
I swear the pen the right across from hell, I can't cry
Cause it's on now, I'm just a nigga on his own now
Livin life Thug style, so I can't smile
Writin to my peoples when they ask for pictures
Thinkin Cali just fun and bitches, hahaha
Better learn about the dress code, B's and C's
All them other niggaz copycats, these is G's
I love Cali like I love woman
Cause every nigga in LA got a little bit of Thug in him
We might fight with each other, but I promise you this
We'll burn this bitch down, get us pissed
To live and die in LA
(Let my angel sing)

Chorus

Verse Three: Makaveli

Cause would it be LA without Mexicans?
Black love brown pride and the sets again
Pete Wilson tryin to see us all broke, I'm on some bullshit
Out for everything they owe, remember K-DAY
Weekends, Crenshaw -- MLK
Automatics rang free, niggaz lost they way
Gang signs being showed, nigga love your hood
But reconize and it's all good, where the weed at?
Niggaz gettin shermed out
Snoop Dogg in this muhfucka perved out, M.O.B.
Big Suge in the Low-Low, bounce and turn
Dogg Pound in the Lex, wit a ounce to burn
Got them Watts niggaz with me, OFTB
They got some hash took the stash left the rest for me
Neckbone, Tre, Head Ron, Punchy too
Big Rock got knocked, but this one's for you
I hit the studio and drop a jewel, hopin it pay
Gettin high watchin time fly, to live and die in LA
(Let my angel sing)

Chorus

Outro: Makaveli

This go out for 92.3, and 106
All the radio stations that be bumpin my shit
Makin my shit sells katruple quitraple platinum, hehe
This go out to all the magazines that supported me
All the real motherfuckers
All the stores, the mom and pop spots
A&R people, all y'all motherfuckers
LA, California Love part motherfuckin Two

2Pac ft. Trick Diddy-Still Ballin lyrics

Straight motherfuckin ballin
Part two, still ballin
Westside

[Verse One: 2Pac]
Now ever since a nigga was a seed
Only thing promised to me was the penitentiary, still ballin
Ridin on these niggaz cause they lame
In a six-one Chevy, still heavy in this game, can you feel me?
Blame it on my momma I'm a thug nigga
Up befo' the sun rise, quicker than the drug dealers
Tell me if it's on, nigga then we first to bomb
Bust on these bitch-made niggaz hit 'em up, WESTSIDE
Ain't nobody love me as a broke nigga
Finger on the trigger Lord forgive me if I smoke niggaz
I love my females strapped, no fuckin from the back
I get my currency in stacks, California's where I'm at - right?
Passed by while these niggaz wonder by
I got shot but didn't die, let 'em see who's next to try
Did I cry, hell nah, nigga tear I shed
for all my homies in the pen, many peers dead
Niggaz still ballin

[Chorus: dominated by Trick Daddy]
Still ballin, until I die
You can bring your crew motherfucker
I be ballin, they wonder why
(You can bring your crew but we remain true motherfuckers still)

[Verse Two: Trick Daddy]
Now as I kneel and pray I hope the Lord understand
When he's gone, devolve, I become a dangerous man
Ain't crazy or deranged, I'm sayin (I'm sayin)
But when these kids go to spray 'em boy I don't be playin
With clientele, any rhyme sales
Question is, will you fuck-niggaz ride for real, huh?
Bitch nigga this is G rated
Plus your homeboy won't make it, street game Fugazi
I'm elevated to the top of this shit
Done fucked around and put me and 2Pac on the bitch
And you can tell 'em THUG LIFE was the reason for this
And I ride for any nigga who believe in the shit
I'm still ballin

[Chorus: 2Pac]
Still ballin, 'til the day I die
You can bring your crew but we remain true motherfuckers
Still ballin, niggaz wonder why
You can bring your crew but we remain true motherfuckers
Still ballin

[Verse Three: 2Pac]
Now everybody wanna see us dead
Two murdered on the front page, shot to death, bullets to the head
Niggaz holla out my name and it's similar to rape
Motherfuckers know I'm comin, so they runnin to they graves, watch
Swoop down with my nigga from the Pound
Cause {Trick} don't give a fuck, where you coward niggaz now, blast
Keep pumpin, ain't worried bout nuttin
Busters thought we was frontin, so reload and keep dumpin

[Chorus - Trick Daddy version]
[Chorus - 2Pac version]

[2Pac] 'Til the day I die
[T.D.] THUG LIFE!
[2Pac] Still ballin.. motherfuckers still ballin
[2Pac] Straight motherfuckin ballin
[fades out]

2Pac ft. Dr.Dre-California Love lyrics

California love!

[1]-California...knows how to party
California...knows how to party
In the citaaay of L.A.
In the citaaay of good ol' Watts
In the citaaay, the city of Compton
We keep it rockin! We keep it rockin!

[Verse One: Dr. Dre]

Now let me welcome everybody to the wild, wild west
A state that's untouchable like Elliot Ness
The track hits ya eardrum like a slug to ya chest
Pack a vest for your Jimmy in the city of sex
We in that sunshine state with a bomb ass hemp beat
the state where ya never find a dance floor empty
And pimps be on a mission for them greens
lean mean money-makin-machines servin fiends
I been in the game for ten years makin rap tunes
ever since honeys was wearin sassoon
Now it's '95 and they clock me and watch me
Diamonds shinin lookin like I robbed Liberace
It's all good, from Diego to tha Bay
Your city is tha bomb if your city makin pay
Throw up a finger if ya feel the same way
Dre puttin it down for
Californ-i-a
[repeat 1]

[2]-Shake it shake it baby
Shake it shake it baby
Shake it shake it mama
Shake it Cali
Shake it shake it baby
Shake it shake it shake it shake it...

[Verse Two: 2Pac]

Out on bail fresh outta jail, California dreamin
Soon as I stepped on the scene, I'm hearin hoochies screamin
Fiendin for money and alcohol
the life of a west side playa where cowards die
Only in Cali where we riot not rally to live and die
In L.A. we wearin Chucks not Ballies (that's right)
Dressed in Locs and khaki suits and ride is what we do
Flossin but have caution we collide with other crews
Famous cause we program worldwide
Let'em recognize from Long Beach to Rose Grands
Bumpin and grindin like a slow jam, it's west side
So you know the row won't bow down to no man
Say what you say
But give me that bomb beat from Dre
Let me serenade the streets of L.A.
From Oakland to Sacktown
The Bay Area and back down
Cali is where they put they mack down
Give me love!
[rpt 1]

[dre] now make it shake...

[rpt 2]

[Outro: Dre, 2Pac]

[Tupac] hey, you know LA is up in this
Pasadena, where you at

(Tupac) even Hollywood tryin to get a piece baby
Sacramento, sacramento where ya at? yeah

Throw it up y'all, throw it up, Throw it up
Let's show these fools how we do this on that west side
Cause you and I know it's tha best side

yeah, That's riight

California Love
