Verse 1
They say Tupacs back? I say Tupacs #DEAD
Maybe you should listen to the things that Tupac said
everybody loves thug life
Don't understand Tupac was like a thug Christ that's sent to man in the middle of the gang times
Picture westcoast people throwin' gang signs
now picture Death Row having a monopoly
Signing every hot emcee
and going platinum with everything they droppin see
A lot of y'all learn Pac as the time stretch
so you end up with a thug out of context
The media needed a mascot
and him being the biggest rap guy at that time
was a, perfect match so they decided to work with that
with cultural biases they observed this cat
They observed his tats, and his ghetto chats
and how the kids admired this person's stance
on America saying there's no equality
so they decided he ain't the one to be following
to them it's Halloween him having a following
But now he's dead so I suggest that you follow me
Tupac is #DEAD
Tupac is #DEAD
Tupac is #DEAD
I said Tupac is #DEAD I hate to admit it...but it's true
Tupac is #DEAD
Verse 2
Tupac is #DEAD no more keep your head up
nobody's gonna stand up so me I'm fed up
sick of compilations, of people taking their share of this great man man I am out of patience
If you wanna claim him then get back to the basics
loving your community more than you being famous
I know he's dead co's if he was here,
his heart would let him chill while these people swear
they rep his music but never do shit for people
struggling what an illusion, what people do to get bubblin'
And it's troublin' to see a lot of young, dumb it would appear Illuminati has won
that's why I gotta say what Tupac'll say and I produce so that'll make up for Johnny J
Some believe he in Cuba where he hides today
he was never the type to hide no way
Tupac is #DEAD
Tupac is #DEAD
Tupac is #DEAD
Tupac is #DEAD
I said Tupac is #DEAD
Tupac is #DEAD
Verse
Tupac is #DEAD he is not that hologram
Co's if he came back he'd do more than party jams
Sorry fam that was him at 25
co's if he was alive at 40 he'd be another guy
It's called maturity
But more importantly, I believe he'd convey something that's more important see
the game change
A lot of lame politics
not to mention politics the Pac I knew would acknowledge this
The Pac I grew up listening to does not exist
Nobody speaks to your heart like 2pacalypse
You gotta say it with meaning
and mean it
That brother was a genius but people never see this
All they see is him spitin' at the camera
listen to the battle him and Biggie and think that's enough
But it's not gotta read between the stanzas
Therein lie the panthers and answers
Tupac is #DEAD
Tupac is #DEAD
Tupac is #DEAD
I said Tupac is #DEAD
Tupac is #DEAD
