Hello Mr. Shakur, it’s really good to meet you.

Likewise, I’m honored just to be here and greet you.

I’m so glad you’re here. I’ve come to you with questions.

Of course comrade. There’s always time for a lesson.

The culture is a mess. We’re living in a desolate land. Tell me what we need to do to take a stand.

The best way to take a stand is to make a stand. Dig deep inside yourself and you can make the greatest stand.

Is this a true fact? We don’t know how to do that.

Doubt is from the enemy. You have to push through that.

Kinda hard to do when we’re against all odds.

So was I once upon a time, but inner strength became my rod.

Tell us how to find it, you know we need your wisdom.

I gave it to you long ago, just receive the wisdom.

Life is shooting hard and our flesh has bled tough.

Remember your spirit is stronger so keep ya head up.

When darkness comes it seems like there is no running.

And after every dark night you know a brighter day is coming.

So you’re saying we can make it through these killer times?

Yes and my spirit will be here with you until the end of time.

~Happy Heavenly birthday to my hero, Tupac Amaru Shakur.
