00:00Who the fuck is Tupac?
00:03I name you Scream, but do you really know?
00:08Let me break it down
00:10Born in New York, 71
00:12June 16th, thug in the making came out the deep dream
00:16Mother was a panther fighting with heat
00:18Assata's bloodline ain't nothing weak
00:20Moving to Baltimore, poetry and stress
00:23Wrote pain in his notebooks, heart in his chest
00:26Jewel yard dreams, but the system said nah
00:28So we turn him son, it's the full-out war
00:31No daddy, just struggle and ambition
00:33Learn to spit truth, where the fuck you mission?
00:36Food stamps to preaching through rhythm
00:39Young black prophet, pain was his prism
00:41Who the fuck is Tupac?
00:43A voice for the broke and a loaded Glock
00:45Poet with bars that could shake the block
00:47He died young, but his words still talk
00:49Who the fuck is Tupac?
00:51Started with digital underground, background scene
00:54Dancing in the nose, ring, hoodie and jeans
00:56Then Tupacalypse now dropped, pure fire
00:59Talking about police dreams and black pride higher
01:02Then came Strictly for my NAZ Raw
01:04Keep your head up, realest shit you ever saw
01:07But the fame brought drama, enemies too
01:09Shot five times, said I saw death in that room
01:12Then jail time hit, rape case stained
01:14Still dropping verses, still preaching pain
01:17Death Row signed up, sure got him out
01:19Came back yelling, hit him up, with no doubt
01:22Who the fuck is Tupac?
01:24A soldier, a sinner, a prophet, a shot
01:26From Brenda's got a baby to me against the world
01:29He ain't just a rapper, he shook this world
01:31Who the fuck is Tupac?
01:33Machiavelli the Don, tatted on his chest
01:36Dropping truth bombs, never did best
01:381996, Las Vegas lights, shots rang out
01:42Six days, he fought for life
01:43September 13, he was gone at last
01:46Just 25, but he lived so fast
01:49Millions cried, while theories flew
01:51Is he dead, or did he pull a Machiavelli move?
01:54But fuck the rumors, his legacy roars
01:56He made the world listen to ghetto wars
01:59Black lives, police lies, and government games
02:02He ain't just a name, he's a flame in our brains
02:04He was pain, he was fight, he was art, he was rage
02:07He was more than a rapper on a billboard page
02:10He was the struggle, inhuman skin
02:12He was the voice of the world we living in
02:15So when they ask, who the fuck is Tupac?
02:19Say this, the motherfucking truth
02:23With a mic and a Glock
02:29With a mic and a Glock
02:34Hold it free
02:38If a mic and a woman
02:40Oh
