2Pac - Evolution Of A Thug (Davey D) lyrics
[2Pac - Evolution Of A Thug Davey D lyrics]
His mother, Afeni Shakur
Was a member of the Black Panther Party
She was pregnant with Tupac while
In jail and on trial as one
Of the Infamous New York
21 this was a time where all
The members of the party were
Accused of conspiracy to bomb public places
Afeni Shakur was eventually acquitted
Of all charges tupac's aunt Assata Shakur
Was also a member of the
Black Panther Party she was accused of
Killing a New Jersey state
Trooper she eventually fled the country in
Exile today she still lives in
Cuba tupac described his mom as
A strong-willed woman who handled
Her business his real father was
Unknown as a youth
He identified with a pimp and petty
Hustler named "Legs" who later
Died from a crack-induced heart attack
Tupac was described as
An energetic child who always liked
To imagine himself in the
Lead role his mom saw fit to enroll him
At age 12 in the 127 Street Ensemble
Which was a theatre group
In Harlem, New York tupac’s first acting
Role was the character, Travis, in
The play Raisin in the Sun tupac
Did not involve himself with rap
Until he and his family moved to
Baltimore as a young teenager, he took on
The name "MC New York"
While living in Baltimore
Tupac continued his acting by auditioning
And later being accepted in
Baltimore's Prestigious School
For the Arts at age 17
Tupac moved with his mom
To Marin City in the San Francisco Bay area
It was in Marin City that Tupac lived
About street life in an attempt to be
Accepted and fit in with his peers
Tupac became a petty hustler who
Sold drugs it was in
Marin City that Tupac rediscovered
Rap he ingratiated himself
In the Bay Area's emerging rap
Scene by joining a
Group called Strictly Dope this
Group featured fellow Bay
Area rap star Ray Luv while
A member of Strictly Dope, tupac decided to
Branch out and he eventually became friends
With Digital Underground’s lead rapper
Shock G tupac auditioned for the group and
He eventually became part of the
Group first as a roadie and later
As a dancer he went
On to be a hype man for the group
Digital Underground as a member
Of Digital Underground
Tupac became known as "the
Rebel of the underground"
Much of this had to do with
His excitable and unpredictable
Personality tupac's
Tendency to stir up things had lead
To many of his successes
As well as many of his troubles
(Troubles, troubles, troubles, troubles)
Was a member of the Black Panther Party
She was pregnant with Tupac while
In jail and on trial as one
Of the Infamous New York
