I wanted u more than I wanted me - Tupac Shakur

The Rose that Grew from Concrete (2000)

I don’t see myself being special; I just see myself having more responsibilities than the next man. People look to me to do things for them, to have answers.

In all my years of defending inner-city clients I have never introduced music before as a mitigating circumstance in a murder case. But I do believe it applies in this case. Without the music riling him up, I do not think that this incident would have occurred.
