“A Warrior Carries His Rank In His Eyes.”
Many of Us Could Not Have Walked A Day In Your Shoes. We Got To Witness Your Assent As Well As Your Fall While Your Evolution Was Placed On Stage For The World To See. You Represented Us. A Blue-Collar Rapper That Spoke Our Language. You Were Real.
As Fans & Appreciators. We Cheered You When You Were Up. But Were Quiet & Judgmental When You Were Down.
We Did Not Love You Enough During Your Dark Times. Those of Us Who Are Drawn To Real Artists Such As Yourself. People That Pour Their Hearts Out & Share Their Vibration That Touches Millions of People That Become Fans, Could Have Protected You More.
Through Your Ups & Downs I Still Believed. While You Were Being Locked Up, Set Up, Had The Media On Your A$$ Every 5-Seconds, “Those In The Know” Who Knew What Was Up Kept You In Our Prayers. But The Majority Turned Their Back On You When You Gave Us So Much & That’s A True Shame.
You Were A Warrior, A Poet. A Sinner & A Prophet. A Man Who’s Voice Could Unite A Nation. “They” Threw Stones & Tormented You Because You Were Their Worst Nightmare. A Fearless Black Man Who Was Talented, Outspoken, Revered, Loved & Ordained By His People Who He Loved.
