I've been listening to alot of his music lately, and all his lyrics seem to reference dying young and in a violent manner, it was like he predicted he was going to be killed at a young age.

So Many Tears

I shall not fear no man but God

Though I walk through the valley of death

I shed so many tears, if I should die before I wake

Please God walk with me, grab a n*gga and take me to Heaven

Back in elementary, I thrived on misery

Left me alone I grew up amongst a dying breed

Inside my mind couldn't find a place to rest

until I got that Thug Life tatted on my chest

Tell me can you feel me? I'm not living in the past, you wanna last

Be the first to blast, remember Kato

No longer with us he's deceased

Call on the sirens, seen him murdered in the streets

Now rest in peace

Is there heaven for a G? Remember me

So many homies in the cemetery, shed so many tears

Ahh, I suffered through the years, and shed so many tears..

Lord, I lost so many peers, and shed so many tears

Now that I'm struggling in this business, by any means

Label me greedy getting green, but seldom seen

And f*ck the world cause I'm cursed, I'm having visions

of leaving here in a hearse, God can you feel me?

Take me away from all the pressure and all the pain

Show me some happiness again, I'm going blind

I spend my time in this cell, ain't living well

I know my destiny is h**l, where did I fail?

My life is in denial, and when I die

Baptized in eternal fire, I'll shed so many tears

Lord, I suffered through the years, and shed so many tears..

Lord, I lost so many peers, and shed so many tears

Now I'm lost and I'm weary, so many tears

I'm suicidal, so don't stand near me

My every move is a calculated step to bring me closer

To embrace an early death, now there's nothing left

There was no mercy on the streets, I couldn't rest

I'm barely standing, about to go to pieces, screaming peace

And though my soul was deleted, I couldn't see it

I had my mind full of demons trying to break free

They planted seeds and they hatched, sparking the flame

inside my brain like a match, such a dirty game

No memories, just a misery

Painting a picture of my enemies killing me in my sleep

Will I survive till the morning to see the Sun?

Please Lord forgive me for my sins cause here I come...

Lord, I suffered through the years (God) and shed so many tears..

God, I lost so many peers and shed so many tears

Lord knows I..tried, been a witness to homicide

Seen drive bys taking lives, little kids die

Wonder why as I walk by

Broken-hearted as I glance at the chalk line, getting high

This ain't the life for me, I wanna change

But ain't no future right for me, I'm stuck in the game

I'm trapped inside a maze

See this Tanqueray influenced me to getting crazy

Disillusioned lately, I've been really wanting babies

so I could see a part of me that wasn't always shady

Don't trust my lady cause she's a product of this poison

I'm hearing noises, think she’s f*ckin all my boys, can't take no more

I'm falling to the floor; begging for the Lord to let me in

to Heaven's door, shed so many tears

Dear God, please let me in

Lord, I've lost so many years and shed so many tears..

I lost so many peers and shed so many tears

Lord, I suffered through the years and shed so many tears..

God, I lost so many peers and shed so many tears

  1. All lyrics are poetry in one way or the other. What do you think?


  2. it's very money bound, but still poetry

  3. Tupac wasn't a poser. It lead the life, he lived the life. He had spoken many before of dying because it was a reality for him. He knew that his day would come sooner than later and sadly he was right--and yes he was a poet. He has written many beautiful things that are not just about the thug life

  4. Yes, he was. He even has a poetry book that some of his songs may have came directly from (or inspired by). I have a copy, and it's wonderful.
