Tupac Amaru Shakur nació el 16 de junio de 1971 en Harlem, Nueva York. Su madre, Afeni Shakur, y su padrastro, Mutulu Shakur, eran miembros activos del movimiento Black Panther, lo que influyó considerablemente en la formación del joven Tupac. Desde temprana edad, mostró un notable interés por el arte y la poesía.
La familia Shakur se mudó con frecuencia durante la juventud de Tupac, lo que le expuso a una variedad de experiencias y culturas. Finalmente, se establecieron en Baltimore, Maryland, donde asistió a la Baltimore School for the Arts. Allí, Tupac estudió actuación, poesía, jazz y ballet, y destacó por su talento artístico.

Picture Me Rollin' Song Lyrics
Picture Me Rollin' by Tupac Shakur (Niggas out there jelous cuz we be bailin' with Death Row
They try to playa hate

(Tupac)
This goes out to you playa

Chorus
Gotta be careful, can't let tha evil of tha money trap me
So when ya see me nigga
Ya better Holla at me
Gotta be carefull, can't let tha evil of tha money trap me
So when ya see me nigga
Ya better Holla at me
Gotta be carefull, can't let tha evil of tha money trap me
So when ya see me nigga
Ya better Holla at me
Are you confused?
You wonder how it feels to walk a mile inside tha shoes
of a nigga who don't have a thing to loose
When me and you was homies
no one informed me it was all a scheme
You infiltrated my team and sold a niggas dreams
how could you do me like that?
I took ya family in
I put some cash in ya pocket
made you a man again
and now you let tha fear put your ass in a place
complicated to escape
It's a fools fate
without your word
your a shell of a man
I lost respect for you nigga
we can never be friends
I know i'm runnin' through your head now
what could you do ?
If it was up to you
i'd be dead now
I let tha world know nigga you a coward
You could never be live
until you die
see tha mothaf**ken b**ch in your eye
Type of Nigga, that let tha evil of tha money trap me
when ya see me nigga
ya better holla at me (holla at me)
can't let tha evil of tha money trap me
So when ya see me nigga
Ya better Holla at me
Chorus
(You better beware where you lay
We better not find where you stay)
So I gotta be carefull, can't let tha evil of tha money trap me
so when ya see me nigga
ya better holla at me
(You better beware where you lay
We better not find where you stay)
curious
spittin' lyrics
on tha verge of furious
i'm addicted to currency
nigga that's why we're doin this
I got shot up, I surprised tha niggas tha way I got up
and then
I hit the studio
It's time to blow tha block up
No hesitation
this information got you contemplatin'
heartbreakin' and eliminatin' with this conversation
break him
and let him see tha face of a mental patient
it's a celebration
of my criminal elevation
with the participation
I want members across tha fifty states
to keep tha nation anticipatin' until we break
will I be great, is it my fate ?
to live tha life of luxury
some niggas bought my tapes
so much jelousy it scares me
so be prepared
cause only tha strong survive
life isn't fair (fair)
probably never knew tha way it feels to die
so you figure f**k with me
I give that ass a try
Nigga, Holla at me
Chorus
Gotta be Carefull, can't let tha evil of tha money trap me
so when ya see me nigga
ya better Holla at me
(You better beware where you lay
We better not find where you stay)
And now I gotta be carefull can't let tha evil of tha money trap me
So when ya see me Nigga
You better Holla at me
(You better beware where you lay
We better not find where you stay)
(Ohhhhhh....)
I shoulda saw tha signs
I was blinded
criminal minds of a young black brotha doin' time
so many brothas framed in this dirty game
it's a shame
so much pressure on my brain
while she blame me
Secrets in tha dark
only her and I know
now i'm sitten' in tha state pen
doin time for slow
guess she made a bad decision
that got me livin'
just like an animal
i'm caged up in state prison
my niggas dissin'
cause
hell have no fury like a woman scorn
A cemetary full of mothaf**kers got not knowin'
picture my prophecy
tha cops are attacking me, on top of me
i'm runnin' from tha coppers
but never let'em stop me
cause i'm a soulja
hell, ever since I was a little nigga havin' fantasies
of one day getting older
Niggas is paranoid
trust
a no no
love is a mystery
f**k tha po po,
Holla at me.....
So when you see me nigga
you better holla at me...
Chorus
(You better beware where you lay
We better not find where you stay)
Gotta be carefull, can't let tha evil of tha money trap me
so when ya see me nigga
you better holla at me
(You better beware where you lay
We better not find where you stay)
Now I gotta be carefull, can't let tha evil of tha money trap me
so when you see me nigga
you better holla at me
(You better beware where you lay
We better not find where you stay)
