On September 7, 1996, Shakur was deadly shot in a drive-by shooting at the intersection of Flamingo Road and Koval Lane in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Not only did he have a career in music, Shakur was also an actor, starring in six films and one TV show in the 1990s, including Poetic Justice (1993), Gang Related (1997) and Gridlock’d (1997). Towards the end of his career, Shakur was a vocal member during the East Coast-West Coast hip hop battle, becoming caught up in problems with other rappers, producers, and record-label staff members, especially The Notorious B.I.G. Several people in his family including his parents were affiliated with the Black Panther Party, whose values were imitated in his songs. Nearly all the messages in Tupac songs focused on the brutality and poverty in the inner cities, racisms, and other social issues. Shakur sold over 75 million records worldwide, shaping him to be one of the best-selling music artists of all time. In 1991 he signed with Interscope records and a year later he delivered his first album 2Pacalypse Now, which instantly categorized him into “gangster” rap fame. Throughout this time, Tupac consumed most of his time formulating his own poetry and lyrics to initiate his own career. Tupac’s initial breakthrough came when he connected with the group Digital Underground as a performer. He was incarcerated eight times before hitting the age of twenty. The nonstop moving leads Tupac to his new colony of people by joining gangs, and his prolonged rap sheet was developed prior to his productive appearance in music and film. He was initially from Brooklyn, New York, but, while growing up he moved from Harlem to Baltimore, to Oakland. Tupac was brought to life on June 16, 1971, Tupac Amaru Shakur.

If you can make it through the night there´s a brighter day You never kept a secret, always stayed real There are no words that can express how I feel
To keep me happy there´s no limit to the things you didĪre full of all the sweet things you did for me You say the words that can get me back in focus Pour out some liquor and I reminsce, cause through the drama You´re tryin to raise two bad kids on your ownīut my plan is to show you that I understand
Ya just workin with the scraps you was given You´re in the kitchen tryin to fix us a hot plate I hope ya got the diamond necklace that I sent to youĬause when I was low you was there for meĪnd never left me alone because you cared for meĪnd I could see you comin home after work late It feels good puttin money in your mailbox I ain´t guilty cause, even though I sell rocks I needed money of my own so I started slangin I hung around with the Thugs, and even though they sold drugs They say I´m wrong and I´m heartless, but all along He passed away and I didn´t cry, cause my anger No love from my daddy cause the coward wasn´t there (second and third chorus, And dear mama instead of Dear mama)
(Chorus: Reggie Green and Sweet Franklin w/ 2Pac) Mama catch me, put a whoopin to my backsideįor a woman it ain´t easy tryin to raise a manĪ poor single mother on welfare, tell me how ya did itīut the plan is to show you that I understand I reminice on the stress I caused, it was hell Over the years we was poorer than the other little kidsĪnd even though we had different daddy´s, the same drama Suspended from school and scared to go home, I was a fool Though back at the time, I never thought I´d see her faceĪin´t a woman alive that could take my mama´s place Seventeen years old kicked out on the streets Dear Mama song lyrics music Listen Song lyrics.
