2Pac — Tupac Interlude

* Poems written by Shakur as ~ interpreted by other artists [2Pac Shakur] Right now, it is it is almost.. it is almost... uhh... IMPOSSIBLE for you not to see how strong rap has gotten You know what I'm sayin'! t's it's like umm.. Our our brothers and sisters, our youths, and some of our adults Their ear is PINNED to rap music right now And if you really wanna get our message out And really wanna start teaching, we need to start doing that We we really need to start using, our methods You know what I'm sayin'! The Last Poets did it with poetry And uhh, and and.. even in our history From a ancient Afl- African civilization Poets went from village to village And that's how, stories and messages and lessons were taught You know what I'm sayin'! And... so, like you say, history repeats itself! And so.. it... it was, it was... at it was, you know, obvious! It was, pick it up, you know? Bein' the race that we are, bein' the strong race that we are! We picked it up, we picked up those positive, those positive vibes And we started rappin' and... so I think it is, it's a very good medium too!
