Tupac Shakur

I'm not a drug addict. I'm a drug user.

I'm not a murderer. I'm a victim.

I'm not a snitch. I'm a loyalist.

I'm not a coward. I'm a brave man.

I'm not a weakling. I'm a strong man.

I'm not a fool. I'm a wise man.

I'm not a liar. I'm a truth-teller.

I'm not a hater. I'm a lover.

I'm not a gangsta. I'm a poet.

I'm not a thug. I'm a survivor.

Reality is wrong. Dreams are for the real.

And if you only got two kids, can you just keep it to two rooms? I mean why have 52 rooms and you know there's somebody with no room?! It just don't make sense to me. It don't.

You're right. I am crazy. But you know what else? I don't give a fuck.

Whatever you see you gotta keep a sense of humor; you gotta be able to smile through all the bullshit.

There's no way that Michael Jackson or whoever Jackson should have a million thousand droople billion dollars and then there's people starving. There's no way! There's no way that these people should own planes and there people don't have houses. Apartments. Shacks. Drawers. Pants! I know you're rich. I know you got 40 billion dollars, but can you just keep it to one house? You only need ONE house.

If you could walk a mile in my shoes you'd be crazy too.

Don't believe everything you hear: Real eyes, Realize, Real lies.

I'm not perfect. But I'll always be real.

Every time I speak, I want the truth to come out. Every time I speak I want a shiver.

I don't see why everybody feel as though that they gotta tell me how to live my life.
