TUPAC'S POETRY

 

Fallen Star
By Tupac Shakur


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

- Tupac Shakur

 

The Rose That Grew From Concrete
By Tupac Shakur

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.

- Tupac Shakur

 

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

 

PANTHER

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 CRY

Sometimes when I'm alone I cry
Because I'm on my own
The tears I cry are bitter 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 confide in
I would cry among my treasured friend
But who do you know who stops that long
To help another carry on
The world moves fast and would rather pass by
Than to stop and see what makes one cry
So painful and sad
And sometimes....
I cry and no one cares about why
