POESIE
Tupac hat in seinem Leben nicht nur die Lyrics
zu seinen Songs, sondern auch viele Gedichte verfasst,
die in dem bald erscheinenden Poetry-Buch "The Rose
That Grew From Concrete" veröffentlicht werden, in dem
die Gedichte mit Tupacs Handschrift geschrieben wurden.
Einige davon will ich hier einmal vorstellen:
Liberty Needs Glassesexcuse me but lady
liberty needs glasses
and so does mrs justice by her side
both the broads r blind as bats
stumbling thru the system
justice bumbed into mutulu and
trippin on geronimo pratt
but stepped right over oliver
and his crooked partner ronnie
justice stubbed her big toe on mandela
and liberty was misquoted
by the indians
slavery was a learning phase
forgotten with out
a verdict
while justice is on a rampage
4 endangered surviving
black males
i mean really if anyone really valued life
and
cared about the masses
theyd take em both 2 pen optical
and
get 2 pair of glasses
When Ure Hero Fallswhen your
hero falls from grace
all fairy tales r uncovered
myths exposed
and pain magnified
the greatest pain discovered
u taught me 2 be
strong
but im confused 2 c u so weak
u said never 2 give up
and it hurts 2 c u welcome defeat
when ure hero falls so do the
stars
and so does the perception of tomorrow
without my hero
there is only
me alone 2 deal with my sorrow
your heart ceases
2 work
and your soul is not happy at all
what r u expected
2 do
when ure only hero falls
Jadau r the omega
of my heart
the foundation of my conception of love
when i
think of what a black woman should be
its u that i first think
of
u will never fully understand
how deeply my heart feels 4
u
i worry that we'll grow apart
and i'll end up losing u
u bring me 2 climax without sex
and u do it all with regal grace
u r my heart in human form
a friend i could never replace
In The Depths Of Solitude i exist in the depths of solitude
pondering my true goal
trying 2 find peace of mind
and still preserve my soul
constantly yearning 2 be accepted
and from all receive respect
never comprising but sometimes risky
and that is my only regret
a young heart with an old soul
how can there be peace
how can i be in the depths of solitude
when there r 2 inside of me
this duo within me causes
2 learn and live twice as fast
as those who accept simplicity
In The Event Of My Demise
In the event of my Demise
when my heart can beat no more
I Hope I Die For A Principle
or A Belief that I had Lived 4
I will die Before My Time
Because I feel the shadow's Depth
so much I wanted 2 accomplish
before I reached my Death
I have come 2 grips with the possibility
and wiped the last
tear from My eyes
I Loved All who were Positive
In the
event of my Demise
And 2morrow Today is filled
with anger
fueled with hidden hate
scared of being outcast
afraid of common fate
Today is built on tragedies
which no
one wants 2 face
nightmares 2 humanities
and morally disgraced
Tonight is filled with rage
violence in the air
children bred
with ruthlessness
because no one at home cares
Tonight I lay my
head down
but the pressure never stops
knawing at my sanity
content when I am dropped
But 2morrow I c change
a chance 2
build a new
Built on spirit intent of Heart
and ideals
based on truth
and tomorrow I wake with second wind
and strong because of pride
2 know I fought with all my
heart 2 keep my
dream alive
Fallen Star
They could never understand
what u set out 2 do
instead they chose 2
ridicule u
when u got weak
they loved the sight
of your dimming
and flickering starlight
How could they understand what was so intricate
2 be loved by so many, so intimate
they wanted 2 c
your lifeless corpse
this way u could not alter the course
of ignorance that they have set
2 make my people forget
what they have done for much 2 long
2 just forget and carry on
I had loved u forever because of who u r
and now I mourn
our fallen star
Ambition Over Adversity
Take one's adversity
Learn from their misfortune
Learn from their pain
Believe in something
Believe in yourself
Turn adversity into ambition
Now blossom into wealth
The Rose That Grew From Concrete Did you hear about the
rose that grew
from a crack in the concrete?
Proving nature's
law is wrong it
learned to walk with out having feet.
Funny it seems, but by keeping it's dreams,
it learned to
breathe fresh air.
Long live the rose that grew from concrete
when no one else ever cared.
I Cry Sometimes when
I'm alone
I Cry,
Cause I am on my own.
The tears I cry are
bitter and warm.
They flow with life but take no form
I Cry
because my heart is torn.
I find it difficult to carry on.
If I had an ear to confiding,
I would cry among my treasured friend,
but who do you know that stops that long,
to help another carry on.
The world moves fast and it would rather pass by.
Then to stop and see
what makes one cry,
so painful and sad.
And sometimes...
I Cry
and no one cares about why.
A Young Heart With An Old Soul
A young heart with an old soul
How can there be peace?
How can I
be in the depths of solitude
When there are two inside of me?
This duo in me causes the perfect opportunity
To learn and live twice
as fast
As those who accept simplicity...
Can You See The Pride In The Panther
Can You See the Pride In the Panther
As he grows in splendor and grace
Topling obstacles placed in the way,
of the progression of his race.
Can You See the Pride In the Panther
as she nurtures her young all alone
The seed must grow regardless
of the fact that it is planted in stone.
Can You See the Pride In the
Panthers
as they unify as one.
The flower blooms with brilliance,
and outshines the rays of the sun.
I've Seen Your Soul Before
There are things we cant explain
So we usually tend to ignore
The unpleasant side to the human race
Like poverty and war
Its deja vu when i cry
When i see you i realize it even more
I know your heart like i know mine
Because ive seen your soul before
I recognize your tear drops
And the clouds inside your head
I related to your sorrow
And every word you said
The creator to so many things
We never realize what for
Now i know why i met you
Because ive seen your soul before
The space between your heart and your mind
Is sometimes
the soul
The personification to you morals
And your emotional
control
Stronger than the human spirit
The human soul you cant
ignore
Faster than you thoughts
Because ive seen your soul before
FatherFather forgive us for living
Why are all my homies
stuck in prison?
Barely breathing, believing that this world is a
prison
It's like a ghetto we can never leave
A broken rose giving
bloom through the cracks of the concrete
So many things for us to see
Things to be
Our history so full of tragedy and misery
To all the homies who never made it home
The dead peers i
shed tattoed tears for when I'm alone
Picture us inside a
ghetto heaven
A place to rest finding peace through this land of
stress
In my chest I feel pain come in sudden storms
A life
full of rain in this game watch for land thorns
Our unborn never
got to grow, never got to see what's next
In this world filled with
countless threats
I beg God to find a way for our ghetto kids to
breath
Show a sign make us all believe
