Both masterpieces


But man, the way Pac voiced cracked when he rapped out "And even though I act craaaa-zay, I gotta thank the lord that you made mae":wow::mjcry:


Honestly, Pac is the only rapper that still has me discovering depths of realness in their music.Hell, beyond rap......music, period.His music has a soulfulness/spirituality to it that goes beyond a mere concept.It's that without trying to be that.It wasn't "I'm a conscious rapper"...."I'm an afrocentric rapper" ...."I drop knowledge and spit science rapper"....That man just spit from his soul and it happened to have all that in there.Because that's what we're naturally comprised off.Pac just let it flow out.That's authentic "spirituality" to me.But that's just me


I think we're still catching up to dude.Not on no gangsta/thug shyt, more for his unique perspective.He 100% reflected his mothers "wild genius" soul

Head up

Some say the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
I say the darker the flesh then the deeper the roots
I give a holler to my sisters on welfare
Tupac cares, if don't nobody else care
And uhh, I know they like to beat ya down a lot
When you come around the block brothas clown a lot
But please don't cry, dry your eyes, never let up
Forgive but don't forget, girl keep your head up
And when he tells you you ain't nothin' don't believe him
And if he can't learn to love you you should leave him
Cause sista you don't need him
And I ain't tryin to gash up, I just call em how I see em
You know it makes me unhappy
When brothas make babies, and leave a young mother to be a pappy
And since we all came from a woman
Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman
I wonder why we take from our women
Why we rape our women, do we hate our women?
I think it's time to kill for our women
Time to heal our women, be real to our women
And if we don't we'll have a race of babies
That will hate the ladies, that make the babies
And since a man can't make one
He has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one
So will the real men get up
I know you're fed up ladies, but you gotta keep your head up
