falls for Juliet, a female from the Crips, and everybody in both gangs are against them. So

they have to sneak out and they end up dead for nothing. Real tragic stuff.” -Tupac

“In my death, people will understand what I was talking about.” -Tupac

Ima do.” -Tupac

“If you walked by a street and 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.” -Tupac

tried, but when I held that nine, all I could see was my mama‟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.”

-Tupac

“When your hero falls from grace, all fairy tales are uncovered Myth exposed and pain

magnified, the grace pays uncovered He told me to be strong, but I confused to see it so weak

You say never to give up, and it hurts to see what comes to be When your hero falls solely

the stars, and so does the reception of tomorrow Without my hero, there‟s only me alone, to

for the moon” -Tupac

“I remember crying all the time. My major thing growing up was I couldn‟t fit in. Because I

was from everywhere, I didn‟t have no buddies that I grew up with...Every time I had to go to

a new apartment, I had to reinvent myself, myself. People think just because you born in the

ghetto you gonna fit in. A little twist in your life and you don‟t fit in no matter what. If they

push you out of the hood and the White people‟s world, that‟s criminal...Hell, I felt like my

could be destroyed at any moment.” -Tupac

“Pledge allegiance to the flag that neglects us.” -Tupac
