Most people missed what Tupac said here.
0:04
Now's your chance to hear it again. If
0:06
you missed parts one and two, circle
0:08
back and listen to those first
0:10
without any other soldiers, nobody but a
0:13
Vietnam vet in Vietnam when he came
0:15
home. How would he be? And that's me. I
0:17
had to go through all that street war,
0:19
everything, the same drugs that
0:21
everybody else get turned out on. You
0:22
know, where I would have been stopped,
0:23
shorted, I made it past and here is
0:26
where I am. But because I made it past,
0:27
I missed some lessons. You know what I'm
0:29
saying? And you can see the lessons that
0:30
I miss when you talk to me. You can see
0:32
where where I haven't had a father when
0:33
you talk to me. You know what I'm
0:35
saying? You can see where I spent a lot
0:36
of my time in the streets when you talk
0:38
to me. Because the words that I say are
0:39
not words that come from a mother's
0:41
mouth or a father's mouth. It's words
0:42
that comes from a pimp's mouth or a
0:44
prostitute or a hustler or a drug
0:45
dealer. You know what I'm saying? But to
0:47
me, these were my role models. How much
0:49
of that though in terms of growing up
0:52
without a father, sometimes not being
0:54
with your mother, do you do you lament
0:56
on and look back and say, "Damn, I
0:58
missed something Hey.
