Tupac Shakur – Fame (ft. The Outlawz)
One thing we all adore,
Something worth dying for,
Nothing but pain,
Stuck in this game,
Searching for fortune and fame.
Hard words is spoken, many promises broken,
As if it’s useless to hope, they got me constantly smoking,
My role model was a cold bottle of O.E,
Surrounded by my closest homies but nobody knows me,
I pray to God, it ain’t easy,
Half the cops in California got a hard on to squeeze me,
Running through the backstreets, hopping over fences,
Trying to shake the fucking K-9s, running around senseless,
I’ll probably be a mystery to many, but a legend to some,
I’ve been a man for many women, but a husband for none,
In case you see me out in traffic, looking nervous and high,
My hands, holding my pistols will they serve us or die?
May God forgive me for my crooked ways, I didn’t mean it,
Knew I’d fall in love with money the first day that I seen it,
Maybe now they can understand, my occupation,
It’s clear that my only fear of death is reincarnation.

U Can Be Touched (ft. Outlaw Immortalz) by 2Pac
My Young niggaz in the wild life
Criminal mind of a juvenile still livin’ childlike
Thinking he can make his pay
Too in a rush, niggaz better slow down
Cause you can be touched
Play Your Cards Right (OG) by Tupac Shakur (Ft. The Outlawz , Big Syke, Mopreme & K-Ci and JoJo)
One of the realest men to walk this Earth.
Still I Rise (OG) by 2pac and The Outlawz (Yaki Kadafi, Hussein Fatal, and Big Syke)
One of my favorite ‘Pac songs. Kadafi and Hussesin’s verses are so flawless.
Tupac Shakur (born Lesane Parish Crooks) is one of the most influential voices in music.
With a charisma and raps that sparked generations filled with raging hormones and unanswered questions, Tupac served as both leader and commoner to droves of people within the Hip-Hop culture.
The cold winds of East Coast raps mixed with the smooth West Coast sounds, making way for a catchy revolutionary spirit to sweep not just the nation but the entire world.
And it was all orchestrated by one man, who felt compelled to push the limits of consciousness and lavishness while internally and externally engaged in warfare with life threatening forces.
Tupac was the first rapper to sell inspiring lyrics just as well as he sold the more frivolous things in life. A feat, now, that many rappers attempt but only a few have captured. But even after more than a decade, no one quite embodies that dualistic aura of the rose that grew from concrete.
