"All I'm trying to do is survive..." - Quote by Tupac Shakur

“Now don't you ever tell a lie just confide in meWould you die 4 me? Tell me baby would you ride 4 me?”

“Everybody raps. We rap to make money. We do business. Ain't no other record company out there that sold as many records as we did.”

“How can I be a man if there is no role model?”

“Compassion and love is the source of external and internal peace and is also the root of racial survival.”

“If our lives are endangered by plots or violence or armed robbers or enemies, any and every method of protecting ourselves is morally right.”

“Those who know when it is enough will not perish.”

“About the only value the story of my life may have is to show that one can, even without any particular gifts, overcome obstacles that seem insurmountable if one is willing to face the fact that they must be overcome.”

“Sure, it's easy to be upbeat when everything is going your way. Anyone can do that. It is far more important, however, to take a positive approach in circumstances that most people would view as negative.”

“Don't be careless about yourselves--on the other hand not too careful. Live well but do not flaunt it. Laugh a little and teach your men to laugh--get good humor under fire--war is a game that's played with a smile. If you can't smile, grin. If you can't grin, keep out of the way till you can.”
