"Lord yes!! Big, mythical words. He WAS, his mouth was rapping, his SOUL was SUNGING. It oozed from him, he was a RAP SINGER, as he used to often refer to himself sometimes. Yes Lord God, TUPAC IS THE GREATEST. SMOKING EVERYTHING MOVING. " Black Jesus 777
"Father forgive us for livin' while all my homies stuck in prison Barely breathin' believin' that the world is a prison It's like a ghetto we can never leave A broken rose givin' bloom through the cracks of the concrete So many other things for us to see Things to be, our history so full of tragedy and misery To all my homies never made it home The dead peers I shed tattooed tears for, when I'm alone Picture us inside a ghetto heaven, a place to rest Findin' peace through this land of stress In my chest I feel pain come in sudden storms Life full of rain in this game watch for lead thorns Our unborn never got to grow, never got to see what's next In this world full of countless threats I beg God, to make a way for our ghetto kids to breathe Show us sign, make us all believe 'Cause I ain't mad at cha" i just educated myself on pac since im apart of the gen z era and he wasnt in my time period and this is the deepest line to me from any song i ever listened to and from him to have impacted my ears and is the reason i expanded my taste in music at the age of 10 to now and 16 his music will be forever timeless
@@haroonnhaachie it came across as breaking news on MTV in our house… and I remember it like it was yesterday…. The house had fallen into this dead silence of disbelief… the longest 2 minutes of our lives… I was 10…and I’ll never forget it😢3 generations was in that house at that time…and all 3 generations were torn up behind that breaking news
Medley of emotions... man Tupac was a different breed. One of one! Sad that so many never got to witness him alive and to think so many never appreciated him when he was right there in front of them. 😢🎉
I mean - it's the same version as the video version - they just dropped some of the instruments to put an emphasis on the piano and brought it back in. Daz did the OG beat, Johnny J did this one I believe
my bad it wasn't Johnny J - the video, the whole song was re-recorded with a live band. Featuring horns and strings, Kevyn Lewis commissioned a band featuring Cornelius Mims, Warryn Campbell, Priest, Ricky Rouse, and Darryl Crooks to replay the track. The new track was recorded at Can-am Studio by Conley Abrams and was mixed at Larrabee North by Abrams. It was also shot weeks before Tupac's death.
The video is about survivor's guilt which a lot of brothers experience growing up in the hood losing loved ones to gun violence Pac thru all his trials and tribulations and all the temptations of fame never lost his connection to his people to the ghetto bruh really reached back for us
Pac like Snoop Dogg say it, he knew he gonna doe soon. That's why he was all time in the studio, do it record after record, cuz he knew it he got little time here.
