Track six, Words of Wisdom of 2pac's 2pacalypse Now debut release is one of my favorite tracks of all time and probably why this release is considered "overly political." In this track Pac gives inspiration to his audience by explaining the righteous indignation of those trapped in the ghetto.
In one way or another American will find a way to eliminate the problem
The problem is the troubles in the black youth of the ghettos
And one by one we are being wiped off the face of this earth
at an extremely alarming rate
And even more alarming is the fact that we are not fighting back
Pledge a legiance to a flag that neglects us
Honour a man that that refuse to respect us
Emancipation, proclamation, Please!
Nigga just said that to save the nation
It seems Pac understood the resistance he would see in life. He knew the establishment didn't want to see him educating the masses and black youth about life, society, and and the situations and conditions created by poverty in the ghetto.
He continues to amaze the listener by referring to the historical controversy between peaceful and violent resistance/revolution.
Steady strong nobody's gonna like what I pumpin'
But its wrong to keeping someone from learning
something
So get up, its time to start nation building
I'm fed up, we gotta start teaching children
That they can be all that they wanna to be
There's much more to life than just
poverty...
He continues to amaze the listener by referring to the historical controversy between peaceful and violent resistance/revolution.
No Malcolm X in my history text; Why is that?
Cause he tried to educate and liberate all blacks
Why is Martin Luther King in my book each week?
He told blacks, if they get smacked, turn the other cheek
