*GTB* INTRO TO GHETTO TRACK BOYZ PRODUCTIONS

Only God Can Judge 2pac...

Black man, Black boy, Prince, Thug,

Revolutionary, Symbol. They only see your

tattoos, jewelry, and body language. They only

hear your vulgar words, defiant messages, and

your unavoidable controversy. They see your life

as a threat, they comment chickens came home

to roost They blame you for violence in

America, they pour disgust on you and point the

finger at you for problems in our families.

Black man, Black boy, Prince, Thug,

Revolutionary, Symbol. We see you as the dark

truth they are scared to accept. We see you as the

voice we sometimes could not find. We see you

as a young Malcolm X. Alcohol, drugs, women

and prison consumed you, as it did Brother

Malcolm. Yet those that knew you, knew you

were on the way out, you had seen the light and

moved toward it. We felt your pain, so similar to

ours. We felt your frustration, so similar to ours.

We felt your anger, so similar to ours. You are an

unavoidable realness. To Generation X, as they

describe it, you are a 1996 Elvis, John Lennon,

Jimi Hendricks, Sammy Davis, Ella Fitzgerald.

Those that don't know, may never know. Those

that do know, truly know that... Only God Can

Judge You!

LISTENING TO THE LYRICS OF MY IDOL TUPAC SHAKUR

I LEARNED WHEN I FALL TO STAND TALL AND COME BACK 4 MORE

FORTUNE AND FAME DIDN'T COME QUICK TO HIM BUT HE KEPT TRYING AND WAITED

KNOWING THAT IF IT DIDN'T COME HIS THUG LIFE STYLE AND COURAGE COULD

NEVER BE FADED

HE HAD MORE COURAGE, AMBITION, AND DESIRE THAN MOST

HE THREW UP "WESTSIDE", LOVED HIS DEATH ROW, AND DESPISED THE EAST COAST

IN '94 HE SHOWERED WITH BULLETS THAT NEARLY MARKED HIS DEATH

HE THEN CLAIMED TO BE A "BADBOY" KILLA UNTIL HIS LAST BREATH

DOWN WITH SUGE KNIGHT, SNOOP DOGG, AND THE POUND

HIS LYRICS AND STLYE TOUCHED THOSE WHOM ARE DOWN

LOOKING TO CLAIM THE LIVES OF BIGGY SMALLS AND MOBB DEEP

KNOWING THOSE TWO HAD NIGHTMARES OF PAC AT NIGHT IN THEIR SLEEP

HE TALKED ABOUT RISING FROM VIOLENCE BUT LOVING YOUR HOOD

TO THOSE LESS FORTUNATE HIS WORDS WERE TOUCHING, BUT YET UNDERSTOOD

SOCIETY LABELED HIM AS EVIL, VIOLENT, AND VILLIAN

BUT HIS WORDS PRAISED ALL COLORS AND SHOWED LOVE FOR WOMEN AND CHILDREN

BIGGY SMALLS TRIED TO CLAIM 2 PAC'S LAST BREATH

BUT IN MARCH OF '97 BIGGY MET HIS OWN TRAGIC DEATH

THE SO CALLED DEATH OF TUPAC, ALSO KNOWN AS MAKAVELLI, LEFT THE RAP

INDUSTRY AND THE WORLD AT HAULT,

NOT KNOWING IF WHAT HAPPENED WAS HIS OWN OR SOCIETIES FAULT

PAC DEAD OR ALIVE, IF YOU OUT THERE SOME WHERE

YOUR LYRICS LIVE ON, YOUR STYLE IS MISSED, AND MANY STILL CARE

In the event of my Demise

when my heart can beat no more

I Hope I Die For A Principle

or A Belief that I had Lived 4

I will die Before My Time

Because I feel the shadow's Depth

so much I wanted 2 accomplish

before I reached my Death

I have come 2 grips with the possibility

and wiped the last tear from My eyes

I Loved All who were Positive

In the event of my Demise
