I've always been an actor, the reason I've been successful in the rap-game I think is that I treat my albums like movies, and I treat writing it like… - Tupac Shakur

When your hero falls from grace, all fairy tales are uncovered
Myth exposed and pain magnified, the grace pays uncovered
He told me to be strong, but I confused to see it so weak
You say never to give up, and it hurts to see what comes to be
When your hero falls soley the stars, and so does the reception of tomorrow
Without my hero, theres only me alone, to deal with my sorrow
Your heart ceases to work, and your soul is not happy at all
What are you expected to do, when your only hero falls

Tired of being trapped in this vicious cycle
If one more cop harasses me I just might go psycho
And when I get ‘em, I’ll hit ’em with the bum rush
Only a lunatic would like to see his skull crushed
Yo, if you’re smart you’ll really let me go, G
But keep me cooped up in this ghetto and catch the Uzi
They got me trapped.

Keep ya head up. Do what you gotta do. And then, inside of you, I will be reborn.
