Quote from Tupac’s “Dear Mama”
“Now ain't nobody tell us it was fairNo love from my daddy cause the coward wasn't thereHe passed away and I didn't cry, cause my angerWouldn't let me feel for a strangerThey say I'm wrong and I'm heartless, but all alongI was looking for a father he was goneI hung around with the Thugs, and even though they sold drugsThey showed a young brother loveI moved out and started really hangingI needed money of my own so I started slangingI ain't guilty cause, even though I sell rocksIt feels good putting money in your mailboxI love paying rent when the rent's dueI hope ya got the diamond necklace that I sent to you”
