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.

Mi$$ion Lyrics
2nd track on this album. This track serves as a image of what I was wanting when I was growing up. Basically a mission. In the song I wanna be like Makaveli. I wanted this track to represent my strive or will… Read More [B.K.P.]
I can't trust no body, they all just phoney
I'm tryna stack my money like Makaveli
Snap back to reality I’m almost ready
Money stacked up real heavy
Going up makes me work harder
I'm Jordan it's the fourth quarter
And that's the mission, that's the mission
That's the mission, that's the mission (that's the mission)
That's the mission, that's the mission, that's the mission
Walking through the street lights, I've been feeling well
Mo Money you get people wanna see you fail
I swear this world full of demons, it's like I'm in a hell
People come around, and go around
She flexing I can tell
I'm leavin guess it's farewell
Missin, she's what I'm missin
These bitches trippin
It's shots up no fakes just realness, I'm Makaveli
Can't trust niggas
I don't understand niggas
Missin my famila
My mama, love her dearly
I’m a lil tricky, call me a theory
I can't trust no body, they all just phoney
I'm tryna stack my money like Makaveli
Snap back to reality I’m almost ready
Money stacked up real heavy
Going up makes me work harder
I'm Jordan it's the fourth quarter
And that's the mission, that's the mission
That's the mission, that's the mission (that's the mission)
That's the mission, that's the mission, that's the mission
I'm off that Tanqueray
Drinkin and thinkin, been feelin lonely
I feels no way
Minds bringin me down, I'm slippin away
I got trust issues, these bitches they can't do shit for me
I'm single, mo money mo problems, mo knowledge
No problems, don't got problems, cause I'm in peace
Death of a sinner, you and the mix
Realest shit you'll read
Bitch no trustin, for any niggas, cause that's blasphemy
And if you try me on the 13th, you won't live to see the next week
I can't trust no body, they all just phoney
I'm tryna stack my money like Makaveli
Snap back to reality I’m almost ready
Money stacked up real heavy
Going up makes me work harder
I'm Jordan it's the fourth quarter
And that's the mission, that's the mission
That's the mission, that's the mission (that's the mission)
That's the mission, that's the mission, that's the mission

I see myself as a natural born hustler, a true hustler in every sense of the word
I took nothin’, I took the opportunities, I worked at the most menial and degrading job and built myself up so I could get it to where I owned it
I went from having somebody managing me to me hiring the person
