Tupac Amaru Shakur nació el 16 de junio de 1971 en Harlem, Nueva York. Sus padres, Afeni Shakur y Billy Garland, eran miembros del Partido Pantera Negra, un movimiento revolucionario que luchaba por los derechos civiles de la comunidad afroamericana. Este entorno radical influyó profundamente en la vida y obra de Tupac.
De joven, Tupac demostró un talento excepcional para las artes escénicas. Asistió a la Escuela de Artes de Baltimore, donde estudió teatro, poesía y ballet. Allí conoció a Jada Pinkett, una amiga cercana que más tarde se convertiría en una destacada actriz de Hollywood.
En 1991, Tupac comenzó su carrera musical como corista del grupo de rap Digital Underground. Su talento rápidamente le permitió lanzar su primer álbum en solitario, 2Pacalypse Now, en 1991. Este disco causó controversia debido a sus letras cargadas de mensajes sociales y políticos.
En 1993, Tupac lanzó su segundo álbum, Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z., que incluía éxitos como I Get Around y Keep Ya Head Up. Este álbum consolidó su lugar en la industria musical y le otorgó un estatus de estrella.
A medida que su carrera musical crecía, Tupac también incursionó en el cine, protagonizando películas como Juice (1992) y Poetic Justice (1993) junto a Janet Jackson.
Tupac no estuvo exento de problemas legales. En 1994, fue acusado de abuso sexual y posteriormente sentenciado a prisión. Sin embargo, su influencia y popularidad no disminuyeron.

I could be your sister, I could be your mother
We could be friends, I'd even be your brother
But I'd rather be your lover
That's right, I'd rather be your lover
[Verse 1: Madonna]
I don't know where I stand with you
I never ever make any plans with you
I don't know what I mean to you
The only thing I know is I dream of you
And all that I know (All that I know)
Is I just don't understand (Just don't understand)
Why my, mmmm, happiness
Always lies in the palm of your hand
But—
[Chorus: Madonna]
I could be your sister, I could be your mother
We could be friends, I'd even be your brother
But I'd rather be your lover
That's right, I'd rather be your lover
[Verse 2: Madonna]
Sometimes I know what you're thinking next
But wouldn't it be better if I loved you less?
Sometimes I think that I made you up
But wouldn't it be better if I gave you up?
And all that I know (All that I know)
Is I just don't understand (Just don't understand)
Why my, mmmm, happiness
Always lies in the palm of your hand
But—
[Chorus: Madonna]
I could be your sister, I could be your mother
We could be friends, I'd even be your brother
But I'd rather be your lover
That's right, I'd rather be your lover
Are you surprised?
[Verse 3: 2Pac]
Hey! Don't slip before they lips say
Even when the media is gettin' greedier, you'll make they hips sway
Creepin' with the blonde ambition
I caught you peepin', and I ain't sleepin'
Got you freakin' through the whole weekend
Frankly speaking, is it passion or just a heat?
Got you tryna get me all up in your satin sheets
What would they say, a blonde and a thug brother
The way you gettin' paid, wish we was lovers
And—
[Bridge: Madonna & 2Pac]
And all that I know (All that I know)
Is I just don't understand (Just don't understand)
(Oh, you don't wanna understand, huh ahahaha)
Why my, mmmm, happiness (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Always lies in the palm of your hand
Now—
[Chorus: Madonna & 2Pac]
I could be your sister (Hey hold on with that)
I could be your mother (I don't need no mothafuckin'—)
We could be friends, I'd even be your brother
But I'd rather be your lover (Yeah, yeah)
That's right, I'd rather be your lover (I bet you would)
I could be your sister (Chill out with that)
I could be your mother (That's illegal)
We could be friends, I'd even be your brother (Yeah, yeah)
But I'd rather be your lover (Just bringing in girl)
That's right (That's right)
I'd rather be your lover (What you need is a thug in your life)
Are you surprised?
I could be your sister (Hey check this out though)
I could be your mother
We could be friends, I'd even be your brother
But I'd rather be your lover
That's right, I'd rather be your lover (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Are you surprised?
Are you?
