Take one's adversity

Learn from their misfortune

Learn from their pain

Believe in yourself

Turn adverity into ambition

Now blossom into wealth

-Tupac Shakur

"Imperfection is inherited, therefore we all sin, but fighting the war of sin is the greatest war of all because we all die in the end no matter how hard we fight"

"In life there's going to be some stuff your gonna see that going to make it hard to smile. But no matter what you do, through the rain and the pain, you got to keep your sense of humor; you gotta smile for me now"

"I heard a rumor I died

Murdered in cold blood dramatized

Pictures of me in my final state

You know mama cried

But that was fiction

Some coward got the story twisted

Like I no longer existed

Mysteriously missin

I'm known worldwide baby

I aint hard to find"

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 for

I will die before my time

Because I feel the shadows depth

So much I wanted to accomplish

Before I reached my death

I have come to grips with the posssibility

And wiped the last tear from my eyes

I loved all who were positive

In the event of my demise
