Little somethin’ for my godson Elijah and a little girl named Corin

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 uh, 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 nuttin’ 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 gas ya up, I just call ’em how I see ’em (you don’t need him)
You know me makes me unhappy? (What’s that?)
When brothas make babies
And leave a young mother to be a pappy (oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
And since we all came from a woman
Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman (yeah, yeah)
I wonder why we take from our women
Why we rape our women, do we hate our women? (Why? Why?)
I think it’s time to kill for our women (why? Why? Why? Why?)
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 (oh, yeah, baby)
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 keep your head up

Keep ya head up, ooh, child, things are gonna get easier
Keep-keep ya head up, ooh, child, things’ll get brighter (ohh)

Keep ya head up, ooh, child, things are gonna get easier
Keep-keep ya head up, ooh, child, things’ll get brighter

Ayo, I remember Marvin Gaye, used to sing to me
He had me feelin’ like black was the thing to be
And suddenly the ghetto didn’t seem so tough
And though we had it rough, we always had enough
I huffed and puffed about my curfew and broke the rules
Ran with the local crew, and had a smoke or two
And I realize momma really paid the price
She nearly gave her life, to raise me right (oh, yeah)
And all I had to give her was my pipe dream (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Of how I’d rock the mic, and make it to the bright screen
I’m tryin’ to make a dollar out of fifteen cents
It’s hard to be legit and still pay your rent
And in the end it seems I’m headin’ for the pen
I try and find my friends, but they’re blowin’ in the wind
Last night my buddy lost his whole family
It’s gonna take the man in me to conquer this insanity (no, no, no, no)
It seems the rain’ll never let up
I try to keep my head up, and still keep from gettin’ wet up
You know, it’s funny when it rains it pours
They got money for wars, but can’t feed the poor
Said it ain’t no hope for the youth and the truth is
It ain’t no hope for the future
And then they wonder why we crazy
I blame my mother for turning my brother into a crack baby
We ain’t meant to survive, ’cause it’s a setup
And even though you’re fed up
Huh, ya got to keep your head up

Keep ya head up, ooh, child, things are gonna get easier
Keep-keep ya head up, ooh, child, things’ll get brighter (ohh)

Keep ya head up, ooh, child, things are gonna get easier
Keep-keep ya head up, ooh, child, things’ll get brighter

And uh
To all the ladies havin’ babies on they own
I know it’s kinda rough and you’re feelin’ all alone
Daddy’s long gone and he left you by ya lonesome
Thank the Lord for my kids, even if nobody else want ’em (left you all by yourself)
‘Cause I think we can make it, in fact, I’m sure
And if you fall, stand tall and comeback for more
‘Cause ain’t nothin’ worse than when your son
Wants to know why his daddy don’t love him no mo’
You can’t complain you was dealt this
Hell of a hand without a man, feelin’ helpless
Because there’s too many things for you to deal with
Dying inside, but outside you’re looking fearless
While the tears is rollin’ down your cheeks
Ya steady hopin’ things don’t all down this week
‘Cause if it did, you couldn’t take it, and don’t blame me
I was given this world I didn’t make it
And now my son’s gettin’ older and older and cold
From havin’ the world on his shoulders
While the rich kids is drivin’ Benz
I’m still tryin’ to hold on to my survivin’ friends
And it’s crazy, it seems it’ll never let up, but
Please, you got to keep your head up

“Changes” – Embracing personal growth and transformation

“Changes” is one of Tupac’s most iconic songs, and its message is as relevant today as it was when it was released. The song addresses issues such as poverty, racism, and inequality, urging listeners to take action and create positive change. Tupac’s lyrics in “Changes” remind us that personal growth and transformation are essential in overcoming obstacles. By acknowledging our flaws and striving to become better individuals, we can make a difference in our own lives and the lives of others.

Come on, come on
I see no changes, wake up in the morning, and I ask myself
Is life worth living, should I blast myself?
I’m tired of bein’ poor, and even worse I’m black
My stomach hurts, so I’m lookin’ for a purse to snatch

Cops give a damn about a negro
Pull the trigger, kill a nigga, he’s a hero
Give the crack to the kids who the hell cares
One less hungry mouth on the welfare

First, ship ’em dope and let ’em deal the brothers
Give ’em guns, step back, watch ’em kill each other
It’s time to fight back, that’s what Huey said
Two shots in the dark, now Huey’s dead

I got love for my brother, but we can never go nowhere
Unless we share with each other
We gotta start makin’ changes
Learn to see me as a brother instead of two distant strangers

And that’s how it’s supposed to be
How can the devil take a brother, if he’s close to me?
I’d love to go back to when we played as kids
But things changed, and that’s the way it is

Come on, come on
That’s just the way it is
Things will never be the same
That’s just the way it is
Ooh, yeah

Come on, come on
That’s just the way it is
Things will never be the same
That’s just the way it is
Aww, yeah

I see no changes, all I see is racist faces
Misplaced hate makes disgrace to races
We under, I wonder what it takes to make this
One better place, let’s erase the wasted

Take the evil out the people, they’ll be acting right
‘Cause mo’ black and white is smokin’ crack tonight
And only time we chill is when we kill each other
It takes skill to be real, time to heal each other

And although it seems heaven sent
We ain’t ready, to see a black President
It ain’t a secret, don’t conceal the fact
The penitentiary’s packed, and it’s filled with blacks

But some things will never change
Try to show another way but you stayin’ in the dope game
Now tell me, what’s a mother to do?
Bein’ real don’t appeal to the brother in you

You gotta operate the easy way
(I made a G today) But you made it in a sleazy way
Sellin’ crack to the kid (I gotta get paid)
Well, hey, well, that’s the way it is

Come on, come on
That’s just the way it is
Things will never be the same
That’s just the way it is
Aww, yeah

We gotta make a change
It’s time for us as a people to start makin’ some changes
Let’s change the way we eat
Let’s change the way we live
And let’s change the way we treat each other
You see, the old way wasn’t working so it’s on us to do
What we gotta do, to survive

And still I see no changes, can’t a brother get a little peace?
There’s war in the streets and war in the Middle East
Instead of war on poverty, they got a war on drugs
So the police can bother me

And I ain’t never did a crime, I ain’t have to do
But now, I’m back with the facts givin’ ’em back to you
Don’t let ’em jack you up, back you up
Crack you up and pimps smack you up

You gotta learn to hold ya own
They get jealous when they see ya, with ya mobile phone
But tell the cops, they can’t touch this
I don’t trust this, when they try to rush, I bust this

That’s the sound of my tool, you say it ain’t cool?
But mama didn’t raise no fool
And as long as I stay black, I gotta stay strapped
And I never get to lay back
‘Cause I always got to worry ’bout the pay backs
Some buck that I roughed up way back
Comin’ back after all these years
Rat-a-tat, tat, tat, tat, that’s the way it is

That’s just the way it is
Things will never be the same
That’s just the way it is (Way it is)
Aww, yeah

That’s just the way it is
Things will never be the same
That’s just the way it is
Aww, yeah

Some things will never change

You are appreciated

When I was young, me and my mama had beef
17 years old, kicked out on the streets
Though back at the time I never thought I’d see her face
Ain’t a woman alive that could take my mama’s place
Suspended from school, and scared to go home, I was a fool
With the big boys breakin’ all the rules

I shed tears with my baby sister, over the years
We was poorer than the other little kids
And even though we had different daddies, the same drama
When things went wrong we’d blame Mama
I reminisce on the stress I caused, it was hell
Huggin’ on my mama from a jail cell

And who’d think in elementary, hey
I’d see the penitentiary one day?
And runnin’ from the police, that’s right
Mama catch me, put a whoopin’ to my backside
And even as a crack fiend, Mama
You always was a black queen, Mama
I finally understand
For a woman it ain’t easy tryin’ to raise a man

You always was committed
A poor single mother on welfare, tell me how you did it
There’s no way I can pay you back
But the plan is to show you that I understand
You are appreciated

Lady, don’t you know we love you? (Dear Mama)
Sweet lady, place no one above you (you are appreciated)
Sweet lady, don’t you know we love you?

Now, ain’t nobody tell us it was fair
No love from my daddy, ’cause the coward wasn’t there
He passed away and I didn’t cry, ’cause my anger
Wouldn’t let me feel for a stranger
They say I’m wrong and I’m heartless, but all along
I was lookin’ for a father, he was gone

I hung around with the thugs
And even though they sold drugs
They showed a young brother love
I moved out and started really hangin’
I needed money of my own, so I started slangin’
I ain’t guilty, ’cause even though I sell rocks
It feels good puttin’ money in your mailbox

I love payin’ rent when the rent’s due
I hope you got the diamond necklace that I sent to you
‘Cause when I was low you was there for me
And never left me alone, because you cared for me
And I could see you comin’ home after work late
You’re in the kitchen, tryin’ to fix us a hot plate

You just workin’ with the scraps you was given
And Mama made miracles every Thanksgivin’
But now the road got rough, you’re alone
You’re tryin’ to raise two bad kids on your own
And there’s no way I can pay you back
But my plan is to show you that I understand
You are appreciated

Lady, don’t you know we love you? (And dear Mama)
Sweet lady, place no one above you (you are appreciated)
Sweet lady, don’t you know we love you?

Pour out some liquor and I reminisce
‘Cause through the drama I can always depend on my mama
And when it seems that I’m hopeless
You say the words that can get me back in focus

When I was sick as a little kid
To keep me happy there’s no limit to the things you did
And all my childhood memories
Are full of all the sweet things you did for me
And even though I act crazy
I gotta thank the Lord that you made me

There are no words that can express how I feel
You never kept a secret, always stayed real
And I appreciate how you raised me
And all the extra love that you gave me

I wish I could take the pain away
If you can make it through the night, there’s a brighter day
Everything will be alright if you hold on
It’s a struggle every day, gotta roll on
And there’s no way I can pay you back
But my plan is to show you that I understand
You are appreciated

Lady, don’t you know we love you? (Dear Mama)
Sweet lady, place no one above you (you are appreciated)
Sweet lady, don’t you know we love you? (Dear Mama)
Sweet lady
Lady (dear Mama)
Lady, lady

I won’t deny it, I’m a straight ridah
You don’t wanna fuck with me
Got the police bustin’ at me
But they can’t do nothin’ to a G
Let’s get ready to rumble!

Now, you know how we do it, like a G
What really go on in the mind of a nigga
That get down for theirs
Constantly, money over bitches
Not bitches over money
Stay on your grind, nigga
My ambitions as a ridah
My ambitions as a ridah

So many battlefield scars while driven in plush cars
This life as a rap star is nothin’ without guard
Was born rough and rugged, addressin’ the mass public
My attitude was fuck it, ’cause motherfuckers love it
To be a soldier, must maintain composure at ease
Though life is complicated, only what you make it to be
Uh, and my ambitions as a ridah
To catch her while she hot and horny, go up inside her
Then I spit some game in her ear, go to the telly, hoe!

Equipped with money in a Benz ’cause, bitch, I’m barely broke
I’m smokin’ bomb-ass weed, feelin’ Crucial
From player to player, the game’s tight, the feeling’s mutual
From hustlin’ and prayers to breakin’ motherfuckers to pay up
I got no time for these bitches, ’cause these hoes try to play us
I’m on a meal ticket mission, want a mil’ so I’m wishin’
Competition got me ripped on that bullshit they stressin’ (booyah)

I’ma rhyme though, clown hoes like it’s mandatory
No guts, no glory, my nigga, bitch got the game distorted
Now it’s on and it’s on because I said so
Can’t trust a bitch in the business so I got with Death Row
Now these money-hungry bitches gettin’ suspicious
Started plottin’ and plannin’ on schemes to come and trick us

But thug niggas be on point and game tight (yeah)
Me, Syke and Bogart wrap it up the same night
Got problems, then handle it, motherfuckers see me
These niggas is jealous
‘Cause deep in the hearts they wanna be me
Uh, yeah, and now you got me right beside ya, hopin’ you listen
I catch you payin’ attention to my ambitions as a ridah

I won’t deny it, I’m a straight ridah
You don’t wanna fuck with me
(My ambitions as a ridah)
Got the police bustin’ at me
But they can’t do nothin’ to a G (I won’t deny it, I’m a straight ridah)

It was my only wish to rise
Above these jealous coward motherfuckers I despise
When it’s time to ride, I was the first off this side, give me the 9
I’m ready to die right here tonight and motherfuck they life
That’s what they screamin’ as they drill me, but I’m hard to kill
So open fire, I see you kill me, witness my steel (that’s all you niggas got?)

Spittin’ at adversaries, envious and after me
I’d rather die before they capture me, watch me bleed
Mama, come rescue me, I’m suicidal, thinkin’ thoughts
I’m innocent, so there’ll be bullets flyin’ when I’m caught (shoot)
Fuck doin’ jail time, better day, sacrifice
Won’t get a chance to do me like they did my nigga Tys
Thuggin’ for life, and if you right, then nigga die for it
Let them other brothers try, at least you tried for it
When it’s time to die, to be a man and pick the way you leave
Fuck peace and the police, my ambitions as a ridah

I won’t deny it, I’m a straight ridah
You don’t wanna fuck with me
(My ambitions as a ridah)
Got the police bustin’ at me
But they can’t do nothin’ to a G

My murderous lyrics, equipped with spirits of the thugs before me
Pay off the block, evade the cops ’cause I know they comin’ for me
I been hesitant to reappear, been away for years
Now I’m back, my adversaries been reduced to tears
Question my methods to switch up speeds
Sure as some bitches bleed
Niggas’ll feel the fire of my mother’s corrupted seed
Blast me but they didn’t finish, didn’t diminish my powers
So now I’m back to be a motherfuckin’ menace
They cowards, that’s why they tried to set me up
Had bitch-ass niggas on my team so indeed they wet me up

But I’m back reincarnated, incarcerated
At the time I contemplate the way that God made it
Lace ’em with lyrics that’s legendary, musical mercenary
For money, I’ll have these motherfuckers buried
I been gettin’ much mail in jail, niggas tellin’ me to kill it
Knowin’ when I get out they gon’ feel it
Witness the realest, a hoo-ridah when I put the shit inside
The cry from all your people when they find ya

Just remind ya, my history’ll prove authentic
Revenge on them niggas that played me
And all the cowards that was down with it
Now it’s your nigga right beside ya, hopin’ you listenin’
Catch you payin’ attention to my ambitions as a ridah

I won’t deny it, I’m a straight ridah
You don’t wanna fuck with me
(My ambitions as a ridah)
Got the police bustin’ at me
But they can’t do nothin’ to a G

I won’t deny it, I’m a straight ridah
You don’t wanna fuck with me
Got the police bustin’ at me
But they can’t do nothin’ to a G
I won’t deny it, I’m a straight ridah
You don’t wanna fuck with me

“Me Against the World” – Embracing individuality and standing up against oppression

“Me Against the World” is a song that resonates with anyone who has ever felt marginalized or oppressed. Tupac’s lyrics highlight the importance of embracing our individuality and standing up against injustice. The song serves as a reminder that we have the power to change our circumstances, even when it feels like the odds are stacked against us. Tupac’s message in this song is one of resilience and empowerment, urging us to never let others define who we are or what we can achieve.

It’s just me against the world
Ooh, ooh
Nothin’ to lose
It’s just me against the world, baby
Oh, ah-ah
I got nothin’ to lose
It’s just me against the world
Oh-oh
Stuck in the game
Me against the world, baby

Can you picture my prophecy?
Stress in the city, the cops is hot for me
The projects is full of bullets, though bodies is droppin’
There ain’t no stoppin’ me
Constantly movin’ while makin’ millions
Witnessin’ killings, leavin’ dead bodies in abandoned buildings
Can’t reach the children, ’cause they’re illin’
Addicted to killin’ and the appeal from the cap peelin’
Without feelin’, but will they last or be blasted?
Hard-headed bastard, maybe he’ll listen in his casket
The aftermath, more bodies being buried
I’m losing my homies in a hurry, they’re relocating to the cemetery
Got me worried, stressin’, my vision’s blurry
The question is “will I live?” No one in the world loves me
I’m headed for danger, don’t trust strangers
Put one in the chamber whenever I’m feelin’ this anger
Don’t wanna make excuses, ’cause this is how it is
What’s the use? Unless we’re shootin’, no one notices the youth
It’s just me against the world, baby

Me against the world, ooh yeah
It’s just me against the world
Ooh-hoo
It’s just me against the world
Me against the world, ooh-ooh
‘Cause it’s just me against the world, baby
Hey
Me against the world
Ooh yeah
I got nothin’ to lose
It’s just me against the world, baby
I got nothin’ to lose

Could somebody help me? I’m out here all by myself, see
Ladies in stones, Baby Capones, livin’ wealthy
Pictures of my birth on this earth is what I’m dreamin’
Seein’ Daddy’s semen, full of crooked demons, already crazy
And screamin’ I guess them nightmares as a child
Had me scared, but left me prepared for a while
Is there another route? For a crooked Outlaw
Veteran, a villain, a young thug, who one day shall fall

Ever’day there’s mo’ death, and plus I’m dough-less
I’m seein’ mo’ reasons for me to proceed with thievin’
Scheme on the scheming and leave they peeps grieving
‘Cause ain’t no bucks to stack up, my nuts is backed up
I’m bout to act up, go load the Mac up, now watch me klacka
Tried makin’ fat cuts, but yo it ain’t workin’
And evil’s lurkin’, I can see him smirkin’
When I gets to pervin’, so what?
Go put some work in, and make my mail, makin’ sales
Risking 25 with a L, but oh, well

Me against the world, ooh yeah
With nothin’ to lose
It’s just me against the world
Ooh-ooh
It’s just me against the world, baby
Me against the world, oh
I got nothin’ to lose
It’s just me against the world
Haha (oh-oh)
It’s just me against the world, baby
Ha-ah, ha-ah
With nothin’ to lose
It’s just me against the world, baby
Me against the world, oh
Me against the world
I got nothin’ to lose
It’s just me against the world, baby
Ha-ha, hey (haha)

With all this extra stressin’
The question I wonder is after death, after my last breath
When will I finally get to rest through this oppression?
They punish the people that’s askin’ questions
And those that possess, steal from the ones without possessions
The message I stress, to make it stop, study your lessons
Don’t settle for less, even the genius asks questions
Be grateful for blessings
Don’t ever change, keep your essence
The power is in the people and politics, we address
Always do your best, don’t let this pressure make you panic
And when you get stranded
And things don’t go the way you planned it
Dreamin’ of riches, in a position of makin’ a difference
Politicians and hypocrites, they don’t wanna listen
If I’m insane, it’s the fame made a brother change
It wasn’t nothin’ like the game
It’s just me against the world

Me against the world
Nothin’ to lose
It’s just me against the world, baby
Me against the world
Got me stuck in the game
It’s just me against the world
Oh-ah
Nothin’ to lose
It’s just me against the world, baby
Me against the world

That’s right
I know it seem hard sometimes, but, uh
Remember one thing
Through every dark night, there’s a bright day after that
So no matter how hard it get, stick your chest out
Keep your head up, and handle it

Me against the world
Me against the world
Me against the world

Shit, tired of getting shot at
Tired of getting chased by the police and arrested
Niggas need a spot where we can kick it
A spot where we belong, that’s just for us
Niggas ain’t gotta get all dressed up and be Hollywood
You na’mean?
Where do niggas go when we die?
Ain’t no heaven for a thug nigga, that’s why we go to Thug Mansion
That’s the only place where thugs get in free and you gotta be a G
At Thug Mansion

A place to spend my quiet nights, time to unwind
So much pressure in this life of mine, I cry at times
I once contemplated suicide and would of tried
But when I held that 9, all I could see was my moma’s eyes
No one knows my struggle, they only see the trouble
Not knowing it’s hard to carry on when no one loves you
Picture me inside the misery of poverty
No man alive has ever witnessed struggles I survived
Praying hard for ‘Better Dayz’, promise to hold on
Me and my dogs ain’t have a choice but to roll on
We finally found a spot to kick it
Where we can drink liquor and no one bickers over trick shit
A spot where we can smoke in peace, and even though we G’s
We still visualize places, that we can roll in peace
And in my mind’s eye I see this place, the players go in fast
I got a spot for us all, so we can ball, at ‘Thugz Mansion’

Ain’t no place I’d rather be
Children, dead homies and family
Sky high, iced out paradise
In the skyyyyyyyyyy.
Ain’t no place I’d rather be
Only place that’s right for me
Chromed out mansion in paradise
In the skyyyyyyyyyy.

Will I survive all the fights and the darkness?
Trouble sparks, they tell me home is where the heart is, dear departed
I shed tattooed tears and couldn’t sleep good
For multiple years, witness peers catch gunshots
Nobody cares, seen the politicians ban us
They’d rather see us locked in chains, please explain
Why they can’t stand us, is there a way for me to change?
Or am I just a victim of things I did to maintain?
I need a place to rest my head
With the little bit of homeboys that remains, cause all the rest dead
Is there a spot for us to roll, if you find it
I’ll be right behind ya, show me and I’ll go
How can I be peaceful? I’m comin from the bottom
Watch my daddy scream peace while the other man shot him
I need a house that’s full of love when I need to escape
The deadly places slingin drugs, in thug’s mansion

Dear Mama don’t cry, your baby boy’s doing good
Tell the homies I’m in Heaven and they ain’t got hoods
Seen a show with Marvin Gaye last night, it had me shook
Drinking peppermint Schnapps, with Jackie Wilson, and Sam Cooke
Then some lady named Billie Holiday
Sang sitting there kicking it with Malcolm, ’til the day came
Little LaTasha sure grown
Tell the lady in the liquor that she’s forgiven, so come home
Maybe in time you’ll understand only God can save us
When Miles Davis cutting loose with the band
Just think of all the people that you knew in the past
That passed on, they in heaven, found peace at last
Picture a place that they exist, together
There has to be a place better than this, in Heaven
So right before I sleep, dear God, what I’m asking
Remember this face, save me a place, in ‘Thugz Mansion’

Uh, hit ’em with a little ghetto gospel

Those who wish to follow me
(My ghetto gospel)
I welcome with my hands
And the red sun sinks at last into the hills of gold
And peace to this young warrior without the sounds of guns

If I could recollect before my hood days
I’d sit and remanence thinkin’ of bliss of the good days
I stop and stare at the younger my heart goes to ’em
They tested with stress that they under

And nowadays things change
Everyone’s ashamed of the youth
‘Cause the truth look strange, and for me it’s reversed
We left them a world that’s cursed and it hurts

‘Cause any day they’ll push the button and all good men
Like Malcolm X and Bobby Hutton died for nothing
Told ’em they could get teary the world looks dreary
When you wipe your eyes see it clearly

There’s no need for you to fear me
If you take your time to hear me
Maybe you can learn to cheer me
It ain’t about black or white, ’cause we’re human
I hope we see the light before it’s ruined
My ghetto gospel

Those who wish to follow me
(Ghetto gospel)
I welcome with my hands
And the red sun sinks at last into the hills of gold
And peace to this young warrior without the sounds of guns

Tell me, do you see that old lady, ain’t it sad?
Livin’ outta bags but she’s glad for the little things she has
And over there there’s a lady, crack got her crazy
Guess who’s givin’ birth to a baby?

I don’t trip and let it fade me
From outta the fryin’ pan, we jump into another form of slavery
Even now I get discouraged
Wonder, if they take it all back
Will I still keep the, courage?

I refuse to be a role model
I set goals, stay in control, drink out my own bottles
I made mistakes, but learn from every one
And when it’s said and done
I bet this brother be a better one

If I upset you don’t stress
Never forget that God isn’t finished with me yet
I feel His hand on my brain
When I write rhymes, I go blind and let the Lord do His thing

But am I less holy, ’cause I chose to puff a blunt
And drink a beer with my homies
Before we find world peace
We gotta find peace and end the war in the streets
My ghetto gospel

Those who wish to follow me
(Yeah, ghetto gospel)
I welcome with my hands
And the red sun sinks at last into the hills of gold
And peace to this young warrior without the sounds of guns

Lord, can you hear me speak?
To pay the price for bein’ hell bound
