Tupac Shakur cytaty

No matter who committed the crime, they all yell at me. (ang.)

If Tyson don’t want to get knocked out, he don’t step in the fuckin’ ring, That’s how the shit go. When Tyson get in the ring, he knock motherfuckers out! Well that’s what Tupac gon’ do. When niggaz come against me, I’ma knock they punk ass out! One way or the motherfuckin other. This old motherfuckin nigga in the South told me nigga. It’s more than one way to skin a cat. It’s more than one way to shoot a gat. It’s more than one way to die nigga. When I’m through, everybody cry nigga. This is how we do it. (ang.)

In the event of my Demise,
when my heart can beat no more
I hope I die for a belief that I had lived for. (ang.)

But am I less holy cause I choose to puff a blunt and drink a beer with my homies? (ang.)

Although it seems heaven sent, we ain’t ready to see a black president. (ang.)

I am the future of black America. (ang.)

If I die tonight, I’m dying in a gunfight (ang.)
