There was nobody like Pac. Many of his shit was anti government. His peoples were from the Panther era. Hell yea he was influential. He influenced me in a lot of his songs. He dropped knowledge in songs like Words to Wisdom, White Mans World, A Letter to The President, Keep Ya Head Up, etc.
2Pac is originally from the East Coast. He brought his EastCoast flava to the West Coast. He is the most idolized rapper, not BIG. He was similar to King and X in a way that if he began to teach more revolutionary positivity, that would become a great threat.
You know what gang violence is, mostly
and the people dont want you to hear this
somebody shoots your family member
so of course you retaliate, You know what i mean
Same thing the U.S does except nobody even shot their family members
you know, they see that, somebody bomb a school
and all these people get killed
so the united states feel like ooh thats messed up
we gotta go show em who tha real killers
this country was built on gangs, you know
i think this country still is run on gangs
republicans, democrats, the police department, the FBI
the CIA, those are gangs, you know what i mean
the correctional officers,
I had a correctional officer tell me straight,
we the biggest gang in us
straight up
Suppress the revolution a premeditated scheme
Introduce a drug called crack, to us ghetto teens
Got a law for raw niggaz, now playa what it be like?
When will niggaz see they got us bleeding with three strikes
Can't seem to focus hopeless, with violent thoughts I wrote this
Got these Devils petrified, hiding from my hocus-pocus
And so I learned to earn my currency in over time (muahahaha)
Affiliated, clearly click a military mind
May God forgive us though we dwell inside a paradox
Thugged out and drug dealing, from the womb to the block
My live mind got me surviving five rounds
My forty-five got my fortified with live rounds
When shits thick we plot hits, when our glock spits
All hail, Out on Bail, Wrath of 2Pacalypse
Forever ghetto necessary picture food stamps
Outlaw Thug Niggaz never left the boot camp
(Verse 2)
Now i was born as a rebel, making trouble for the devil
Take this gang bang shit, to a whole another level
Can you feel me now? Armies in every city
Definition of power, players are you with me?
See the war is the prophecy, survival is the strategy
Rest in peace to my comrades that deceased
Organize these streets in time
You ll have these devils petrified of a nigga in his right mind
They tell us that we hopeless and hell bound
This for the brothers in penetentiaries jailed down
I got you in my heart till tha day i die
Think of tha damage we can do, if we wasn't high
Can you picture me loc? Its a thugs wrath
Political contracts and blood baths
For Matulu Shakur up in the rikers,
Though they got you, I never let them stop me
The struggle continues
Now if we do want to live a thug life and a gangster life and all of that,
ok, so stop being cowards and lets have a revolution
but we don't wanna do that, dudes just wanna live of character
They wanna be cartoons, but if they really wanted to do something
if they was that tough, alright, lets start our own country
lets start a revolution, lets get out of here, lets do something
