It's time we stop worrying, and get angry you know? But not angry and pick up a gun, but angry and open our minds.
Tupac ShakurRead
Bury me smilin' with G's in my pocket, Have a party at my funeral let every rapper rock it Let the hoes that I used to know, from way before Kiss me from my head to my toe, Gimme a paper and pen so I can write about my life of sin, Couple bottles of gin, in case I don't get in.
