Tupac Said

The following poem is intended for mature audiences only. It contains graphic language and may offend those who prefer their poetry not contain profanity but that was the only way to get this out. You know I may be way late to the party on this but it wasn't a party for him and as I read his lyrics these things suddenly become clear...
