(2Pac 1994 Interview with Ed Gordon)
"Not only forgot about the fight, forgot about us
Yes, and we're picking it back up. But, at this level
All we're trying to do is unite
And right now as a unit, we got a million people that's listening
Now, we can tell them something, now we can try and get them that way
And we might lose some, we might gain some
But we would never even had that audience, had we not said what was real
Know what i'm saying? And the main thing for us to remember..."
They call me crazy cause i'm, livin' in the 5th dimension
My imperfections' instability is this intention
In his direction, this connection leads to disconnections
Pictures led to my reflection showin' this depression
Walkin' down a path that's ruled by riflemen
My life would end if I tried to see where the light would bend
This bible can't explain to me these suicidal hymns
Life's a river, so I'm livin' in denial then
We all marchin' to our funerals
Harsh usuals, people fed them pharmaceuticals
A lot of mutual, thought of the modern cubicle
Its not unusual to think it's all indubitable
Throat chakra speakin' to those monsters
Hopeless genres is filled with emotion operas
Took those and vodka to really open eyes up
'Till i reach nirvana I'll just smoke the marijuana
Made a bad choice when life was in a dark stage
Gosh dang man, my life was in such a harsh place
Long days was eatin' me up like raw steak
My mind couldn't match all of the love my heart gave
But look at me mama, I can smile now
Turned my life around & now I'm done with all them wild crowds
Provide the tile and I'll promptly pick the desired sound
It's peace and happiness forever 'till I'm lyin' down
Meditate and ascend to levels that Gods can claim
The darkest man can still be brighter than the brightest day
Your eyes can be the main source to ignite the pain
But the spoken word is really what's used to put out the flame
