"In The Event Of My Demise" and "And 2morrow" Both by Tupac Shakur

in the event of my demise

in the event of my demise
when my heart can beat no more
i hope i die for a principle
or a belief that i had lived 4

i will die before my time
because i feel the shadow's depth
so much i wanted 2 accomplish
before i reached my death

i have come 2 grips with the possibility
and wiped the last tear from my eyes
i loved all who were positive
in the event of my demise



and 2morrow

today is filled with anger
fueled with hidden hate
scared of being outcast
afraid of common fate

today is built on tragedies
which no one wants 2 face
nightmares 2 humanities
and morally disgraced

tonight is filled with rage
violence in the air
children bred with ruthlessness
because no one at home cares

tonight i lay my head down
but the pressure never stops
knawing at my sanity
content when i am dropped

but 2morrow i c change
a chance 2 build anew
built on spirit intent of heart
and ideals based on truth

and 2morrow i wake with second wind
and strong because of pride
2 know i fought with all my heart
2 keep my dream alive

- both poems by 2pac
