"A coward dies a thousand deaths, a soldier dies but once." - Tupac Shakur
he wasn't talking about someone who fights in the name of an imperialist government. He was probably talking about soldiers in the Black Liberation Army... his aunts were all a part of that. Asatta Shakur and Nehanda Abiodun were fighting against the US government, and the oppressive nature of the police force... real "fuck the police" shit... planting bombs in cop cars and robbing armoured trucks to raise funds for the cause. You think Tupac would support GW Bush's invasion for oil?
"Here on Earth, tell me what's a black life worth
A bottle of juice is no excuse, the truth hurts
And even when you take the shit
Move counties get a lawyer you can shake the shit
Ask Rodney, LaTasha, and many more
It's been goin on for years, there's plenty more
When they ask me, when will the violence cease?
When your troops stop shootin niggaz down in the street
Niggaz had enough time to make a difference
Bare witness, own our own business
Word to God cause it's hard tryin to make ends meet
First we couldn't afford shit now everything's free
so we loot, please don't shoot when you see
I'm takin from them, cause for years they would take from me
Now the tables have turned around
You didn't listen, until the niggaz burned it down
And now Bush can't stop the hit
Predicted the shit, in 2Pacalypse
And for once I was down with niggaz, felt good
in the hood bein around the niggaz, yeah
And for the first time everybody let go
And the streets is death row, I wonder if heaven got a ghetto"
