Tupac Shakur quotes - page 8
So I'm hopeless. Rollin' down the freeway swervin, don't worry,I'm about to crash up on the curb, 'cause my visions blurry. Maybe if they tried to understand me, what should I do?I had to feed my fuckin' family, what else could I do? But be a thug, out slangin' with the homies, fuck hangin' with them phonies in the clubs.Got my mind on danger, never been a stranger to homicide. My city's full of gang bangers and drive-bys, why do we die at an early age? He was so young, but still a victim of the 12 gauge,my memories of a corpse.
Tupac Shakur
How could Reagan live in a White
House, which has a lot of rooms, and there be homelessness? And he's talking about helping. I don't believe that there is anyone that is going hungry in America simply by reason of denial or lack of ability to feed them. It is by people not knowing where or how to get this help. Why can't he take people off the street and put them in his White House? Then he'll have people from the streets to help him with his ideas. Not helpless! Homeless! Not helpless They haven't been homeless forever. They've done things in society. The White House would be tainted because he doesn't want to get dirty.

I'm known as a survivor now, I hope so, for the jail thing, bullets and everything, controversies and everything, I hope so. And I want to be in the future known as somebody. You know I want people to be talking about me like you know: "remember when he was real bad, remember when Tupac was real bad". You know what I mean, they do that about a lot of actors now, like John Travolta I read stories like "remember you were wild."
Tupac Shakur
Here's a message to the new borns, waiting to breathe: if you believe then you can achieve. Just look at me, against all odds 'though life is hard, we carry on, livin' in the projects, broke with no lights on. To all the seeds that follow me- protect your essence, born with less, but you still precious.
Tupac Shakur
Today is filled with anger, fueled with hidden hate.
Scared of being outkast, afraid of common fate.
Today is build on tragedies which no one want's to face.
Nightmares to humanity and morally disgraced.
Tonight is filled with Rage, violence in the air.
Children bred with ruthlessness cause no one at home cares.
Tonight I lay my head down but the pressure never stops,
knowing that my sanity content when I'm droped.
But tomorrow I see change, a chance to build a new,
build on spirit intent of heart and ideas based on truth.
Tomorrow I wake with second wind and strong because of pride.
I know I fought with all my heart to keep the dream alive.
Tupac Shakur
Where There is a will
there is a will
to search and discover
a better day
Where a positive heart
is all you need
to rise beyond
and succeed
Where young minds grow
and respect each other
based on their deeds
and not their color
when times are dim
say as I say
"Where there's a will
there's a way!
Tupac Shakur
I want, when they see me, They know that everyday when I'm breathing is for us to go further. Everytime I speak I want the truth to come out. Not one person even realizes that I have white relatives, my cousin just had a son who is "White” but everytime I speak I want a shiver so yes, I do omit things that I feel are not accurately portraying my "character.”.
Tupac Shakur
GodWhen I was alone, and had nothingI asked for a friend to help me bear the painNo one came, except GodWhen I needed a breath to rise, from my sleepNo one could help me.. except GodWhen all I saw was sadness, and I needed answersNo one heard me, except GodSo when I'm asked.. who I give my unconditional love toI look for no other name, except God.
Tupac Shakur
If you walked by a street and as you was walking a concrete and you saw a rose growing from concrete, even if it had messed up petals and it was a little to the side you would marvel at just seeing a rose grow through concrete. So way is it that when you see some ghetto kid grow out of the dirtiest circumstance and he can talk and he can sit across the room and make you cry, make you laugh, all you can talk about is my dirty rose, my dirty stems and how am leaning crooked to the side, u can't even see that I've come up from out of that.
