[Tupac Shakur]
Right now, it is it is almost.. it is almost uhh, IMPOSSIBLE for you not to see how strong rap has gotten Y'knowhatI'msayin, it's it's like umm.. our our brothers and sisters, our youths, and some of our adults their ear is PINNED to rap music right now And if you really wanna get our message out and really wanna start teachin, we need to start doin that We we really need to start usin, our methods, y'knowhatI'msayin? The Last Poets did it with poetry And uhh, and and.. even in our history from a ancient Afl- African civilization poets went from village to village And that's how, stories and messages and lessons were taught Y'knowhatI'mssayin, and so like you say, history repeats itself And so.. it it was, it was.. at it was, y'know obvious It was, pick it up, y'know? Bein the race that we are, bein the strong race that we are We picked it up, we picked up those positive, those positive vibes and we started rappin and so I think it is, it's a very good medium too |

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's planted, in stone Can't you see the pride of the panthers as they unify, as one?

You try to plant somethin in the conrete, y'knowhatImean? If it GROW, and the and the rose petal got all kind of scratches and marks, you not gon' say, "Damn, look at all the scratches and marks on the rose that grew from concrete" You gon' be like, "Damn!A rose grew from the concrete?!" Same thing with me, y'knahmean?I grew out of all of this Instead of sayin, "Damn, he did this, he did this," just be like, "DAMN!He grew out of that? He came out of that?" That's what they should say, y'knowhatImean? All the trouble to survive and make good out of the dirty, nasty y'knowhahatImean unbelievable lifestyle they gave me I'm just tryin to make somethin.. When no one even cared The rose it grew from concrete Keepin all these dreams Provin nature's laws wrong It learned how to walk without havin feet It came from concrete Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete? Provin nature's laws wrong it learned how to walk without havin feet Funny it seems but, by keepin its dreams it, learned to breathe FRESH air Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else even cared No one else even cared.. The rose that grew from concrete Did you hear.. Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete? Provin nature's laws wrong It learned to walk without having feet Funny it seems but by keeping its dreams it learned to breathe FRESH air Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else, even cared Keepin all these dreams Provin nature's laws wrong It learned how to walk without havin feet (to breathe the fresh air) It came from concrete (to breathe the fresh air) (to breathe the fresh air, to breathe the fresh air) You see you wouldn't ask why the rose that grew from the concrete had damaged petals.On the contrary, we would all celebrate its tenacity.We would all love it's will to reach the sun. Well, we are the rose - this is the concrete - and these are my damaged petals.Don't ask me why, thank God nigga, ask me how! Hahahaha.. |
