As I prepare to write about Tupac
this Hip Hop icon, so **** hot...
this enigmatic
soul.
Bold raw, prophetic,
phenomenal
angry, injured, strong, determined,
directed, driven, funloving, mysterious
enigmatic soul.

Folks still see ya
Like Elvis.... In they world of HipHop
you was KIng...
You were nothing
and you were everything,
son of
a Revolutionary...A prophet son...
What else could you be
you see?

Be you , see you
People still talking about ya.
Bobbing they heads to ya...
I put your image up as my screensaver
and immersed myself again in something
I love anyway....Hey,hey,hey
they wishing you back
as I listen to the next trac

And every body who is , knows' who you
be...Michael Dyson just knew a little bit
better...Did he write a letter...Or did he do
it one better?
And just roll up on the brother
at a get together...
How he saw you as profound!
Even if he didn't understand your sound.
Generational, non-explantional...
How three generations celebrate you
Yearn to learn abuout you...
Now I'm groovin to yo mix and reminisceing
bout that bittersweet ghetto life and the
light bulb goes on...
They knew you, not all of you
but they knew parts of you
they still desire to know all the greater parts
of you...because there was so much of you.

Dwelling not on your parting
You saw it just like Malcom and Martin
Sang about Ghetto heaven and yo
Momma all the music industry drama
How hard it was to be...you see
So I delve further and I look through
his pictures and tonight the video
rolls...
How could one ghetto momma raise
a black man who touched so many
souls???????
