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.

[Verse 1: Shock G, Money B]
Now you can tell from my everyday fits, I still ain't rich
Cease and desist with them tricks (Tricks)
I'm just another brown man caught up in this mix (Mix)
Tryin' to make a dollar out of eighty cents
Doesn't mean that we can't hit the sheets
Baby, I can see, maybe, most of y'all recognize me
I'm Shock G, the one who put the satin in they panties
Ayy, Money B is up this bitch
[Verse 2: Money B]
What's up, love, how you doin'?
Well, I've been hangin', sangin', tryin' to do my thing
Oh, you heard that I was bangin'
Your homegirl you went to school with? That's cool
But did she tell you about her sister and your cousin, now I"m buzzin'
See, weekends was made for Michelob
But it's a Monday, my day, just let me hit it, yo
And don't mistake my statement for a clown
Shh, we'll keep it on the down low as long as you know I get around
[Chorus: Money B, Shock G, Sample]
(Step up, step, step up, step up)
Step, step up, step up
(Round and round, round we go)
(Step up, step, step up, step up)
(Round and round, round we go)
(Step up, step, step up, step up)
(Round and round, round we go)
(Step up, step, step up, step up)
(Round and round we go)
[Verse 3: Money B]
Hold on, look
Now I be drinkin' hard liquor, the results come quicker
I got scratch, bitch (Wicka-wicka)
I'm sick of you bougie hoes
I be fuckin' with them hoodrats in hoochie clothes
(Some makeup, bitch, plus some booty poles)
Fuck that, you got the plush cat
Bend over and let me touch that (What's that?)
A freckle face lunch that
Make her take a knee like a touchback
And grab a hold to nut sack, and let me bust fat (Come on)
[Outro: Money B, Sample]
Step up, step, step up, step up
Step up, step, step up, step up (Say what?)
Step up, step, step up, step up (Come on)
Step up, step, step up, step up (Uh-huh)
Step up, step, step up, step up
Step up, step, step up, step up
Step up, step, step up, step up
Look, round and round we go
The Piano Man, y'all
(Step up, step, step up, step up)
(Step up, step up, step up)
(Step, step up, step up, step up)
Give it up for Shock G, y'all
Piano Man in the motherfuckin' house
