2pac - Still I Rise (Original)
amzn.to/2FOn8eT
Somebody wake me I'm dreamin, I started as a seed the semen
Swimmin upstream, planted in the womb while screamin
on the top, was my pops, my momma screamin stop
From a single drop, this is what they got
Not to disrespect my peoples but my poppa was a loser
Only plan he had for momma was to fuck her and abuse her
Even as a little seed, I could see his plan for me
Stranded on welfare, another broken family
Now what was I to be, a product of this heated passion
Momma got pregnant, and poppa got a piece of ass
Look how it began, nobody gave a fuck about me
Pistol in my hand, this cruel world can do without me
How can I survive? Got me askin white Jesus
will a nigga live or die, cause the Lord can't see us
in the deep dark clouds of the projects, ain't no sunshine
No sunny days and we only playED sometimes
When everybody's sleepin
I open my window jump to the streets and get to creepin
I can live or die, hope I get some money 'fore I'm gone
I'm only 19, I'm tryin to hustle on my own
on the spot where everybody and they pops tryin to slang rocks
I'd rather go to college, but this is where the game stops
Don't get it wrong cause it's always on, from dusk to dawn
You can buy rocks glocks or a HEROINBONG
You can ask my man Ishmael Reed
Keep my nine heateR all the time this is how we grind
Meet up at the cemetary then get smoked out, pass the weed nigga
That Hennessey'll keep me keyed nigga
Everywhere I go niggaz holla at me, "Keep it real G"
And my reply tilL they kill me
Act up if you feel me, I was born not to make it but I did
The tribulations of a ghetto kid, still I rise. - เพลง
If you're still rockin this CLASSIC here in 2024 & BEYOND you a REAL G 🫡💪🏿
Already!....🫡 The 🐐 was and forever will be UNMATCHED!!!.... R.I.P. Mr. Makaveli......😎
Indeed G💯🤝🏾❤
Blessings! To real
Feisty lyrics.❤
Everywhere I go people holla at me " keep it real G", and my reply, "Till they kill me.."
“I was born not to make it but I did” that shit makes me tear up everytime I hear it 🙏🏾
The tribulations of a ghetto kid
Still I Rise!!!

@@mohamedsaleh2126 too nouuu
tupacs verse is like a movie. he takes u through the character's literal birth to his upbringing. you see it all vividly. this is pure poetry. and u feel every word in ur soul. this is why this man is the goat. not up for debate.
Agree
💯💯💯
Absolutely. Haters gonna hate.
The art of story telling
The best verse in rap history IMO. No 🧢
Still playing in 2024. Pac for life🙏
If you still rocking this song in 2022 your a real gangsta
Word brother ftw
Fact
Can't ever forget about this one, Pac will always live on! 🔥
Overhere
Yes sir
Pac got me through some tough times
D-2 guttaman Taxstone is gonna destroy Tupac legacy watch and see
Haitian Jack black
Haitian Jack. Oh really? Why do you say that? And wasn't you hanging out with him? What happened with that? No man at his time and even now spit no real s*** like Tupac did. If he would have lived past 25 he would have been a very powerful man probably could have been the president if he put his mind to it. He was that political. He just had so many haters in his life. Jealousy is a b****.
D-2 guttaman real shit my boy forever he’s got me through most bad times on my moms $$$
D-2 guttaman same here carnal
Kadafi’s verse 🔥
2024 “here”
I second that
Where??
Pac killed his verse. People who say Pac doesn't have bars are crazy. His words make you feel something. Who cares if others twist syllables and words if it don't make you feel shit!?
Facts bro
💯💯💯
@Santos Constancio believe it or not there are people who say that. Most of them are Biggie fans.
Damn right
Facts
This era of rap was too real for the system to handle.
TheKing0fHalo too much truth in this comment
Facts even to this day!
2020 BLM ✊🏿 Vote!!!
TheKing0fHalo lol stfu
That's why they commercialized it.
Ima be here on another 30 years still bumping this song.
“Keep it real G!”
Act up if ya feel me
Till they kill me.
I was born not make it
But I did
“I was born not to make it, but I did.”
I felt that 👊🏼
Thank you Tupac for keeping me positive throughout my struggles 🙏🏼
The most prolific verse
@@mohamedsaleh2126yes it is. That phrase alone means a lot. 🙏🏼
Yeah this song has a lot of meaning to me. I miss the days where I anticipated the next 2pac album. My big brother introduced me to him around 96 when All Eyez On me came out. Then he got his older albums too, so I got to here those and appreciate them. The Makaveli album is cold, but is haunting to listen to at times especially because of his murder right before it was released.
@@MRHOUSECAT187Same here this song has a lot of meaning to me and still does. Thanks for sharing your comment! Hope all is solid on your end 🙏🏼
@abikeridernamedsilentbob64 Thank you. Things are going good. I hope your doing great too.
kadafi is criminally underrated, his flow is crazyyyy
I say this all the time
he was one of my favs...R.I.P kadafi......
He died too young to flourish man, that was pac’s right hand. It’s just sad. This world is cold.
Yaki killed every verse he ever did.
He killed that verse
Only real people can feel this song.
💯
Still I rise 2021
And people who know English
🎑🔥🥋
Yes Kevin
Still fresh in 2023.
Africa listening. Crystal clear in Nairobi, Kenya.
Wakenya huwa hamkosi kila mahali 😭
Rip 2pac ..I'm a real one born in 1971
That "96 big body sittin on chrome" hits me everytime
Little kid in the background: “so fuck all y’all” 😂
Everytime bro!
Hell yeah G. 😂
96 Big body sittin on chrome!
nbs 5 chrome thangs the 🤘🏾town way
When people question Pac's greatness, I go home play this track, and just smile..
These lyrics can't be taught, they must be felt.
Your comment is simple and perfect.
BlitzkriegRap why are y’all so corny with Tupac’s name
Amen
Lived *
Well put
What's crazy about 2Pac is he did so many classic verses and songs in such a short amount of time, that he never really got to listen to them. We listen dozens, hundreds, thousands of times. He just dropped the song and moved to the next one. Absolutely amazing. Just creating songs non stop never to listen to them.
He knew he had a short time on earth like Dr King...Malcolm X, BiG, Nip, and the Goat PAC ✊🏾 Deep
The thought of this is CRAZY. He did all that to not even enjoy the final product
My man wrote one of the most emotional songs ever made Dear Mama on the can no joke he was gifted by God
2Pac the big boss !!!
Pac was the kind of person who could sit in a studio and write song after song, and they'd all be good. Scarface said he was talented like that. A revolutionary and a poet.
2024 and still mourning 2Pac Makaveli,Big Syke Musolini, Yaki Kadafi ,Hussein Fatal and Nate Dog. RIP. Outlawz Immortal ❤❤❤❤❤
No doubt!.... 🫡
Always
At 51 yrs old, I still relate to this; and still I rise.
Lucky you, you and 2pac will be 52 yrs now
Fashooo
1:04 to 1:24
I used to listen to this verse and it brought tears to my eyes every time because I heard my life from another mans mouth. My freshman year in college and I could play was this song. The only person in my entire family who went to college plus on a football scholarship. I went from homeless on the street to making a difference in not only my life but the lives of everyone who was there with me. Words mean everything to those who need to hear them. God created music and I applaud this man for his words that encouraged me to realize that no matter what you go through someone else goes through it too. Your life and legacy has done what only great men have done, Gave hope to the only world we know. Rest my brother your race is in the record books. And for that you will live Forever ❤️💯💯💯
very few understand what you understood. much respect to ya!
God Bless the child that can hold his own!! much love man way to set an example.
Wow Beautiful
Well Spoken
Love This
Badass bro👍👍
Tion Brown same G
This man raised me and his music was the soundtrack of my life! He literally rapped what I was going through as a teen!
FR

Keep his legacy alive and he’ll NEVER DIE he has more music than artists that have rapped for 20 plus years his catalogue is unmatched he’ll live forever as long as we keep bumping him! 💪
He raised many he was a father figure to some or a big brother
أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله، وأشهد أن توباك أمارو شاكور رسول الله.
This is pure Tupac all over! “I was born not to make it, but I did” “The tribulations of a ghetto kid”
Absolute legend!

This man was a gift from GOD. touching peoples hearts of all colors R.I.P. to the realest to EVER touch a microphone.
Word up!!!
True story 🎯💯
Who ? Kadafi ???
Respect
Man... Facts!!! bro i really fuck with this comment
Pacs music never gets old.
afgun2pac Never it’s timeless...
On the real.
That's true
Imma be in 2060 listening to this God willing 🙏🏾
Agreed pac music is forever
This one touches the soul!!! Here thinking in 2023, this dude was on a whole different level then any rapper in the early 90s. Your legacy still lives big pac!!! Rest easy my bro. #stillirise. Rip the legend pac
The best, ever, in his music and as a human being.
Only real ones here
@
Best ever
Why wouldn't you have a gun on you and shoot back first of all. Both of em. I know they got lit up at once but in a beamer I woulda been gone soon as I heard a shot. Crazy...
In Pacs verse he was reminising on his life like he was 80 years old or something and he was only 25 such a mature mind for such a young man we sometimes forget he was only 25 or younger dropping this knowledge
He was 24 when he recorded this
I grew up on the Pac shit and it molded me to be smart on how i handled my business. Im 40 now and still bump his shit like i was 12. Pac you live in us love ya bra
At just 25,pac made music for us till 30,40 and 50s
Started listening to pac when I was like 12, I’m 24 now and I honestly feel like im gonna be playing his music till im 90 if I get there lmao
🙌
Same was only ten when he passed but I still remember watching him on mtv dude was sure confused but he sure was a leader of men
Right on bro
That first verse is one of the deepest verses I've ever heard from any artist ever. Not just rap artist but ARTIST PERIOD! I feel it honestly forces the listener no matter what race to visualize the struggle of a young black male.
The best part about his music is that it doesn't matter if youre black, white or yellow, you can relate to his words because this shit happens everywhere
Cj Allen true...but instead of teaching the listener the struggles of a young black male I feel it teaches the struggling young black male that there's no excuses and blaming others will get you nowhere. that no matter what you'll still rise from the b.s
shit... anyone in a struggle. tupac would take a picture with anyone..WE ARE HUMAN
True lyrics of real hip hop bro, unlike all these Trash ass new socalled "rappers" LOL!!!!
ya that first verse is deep. A lot of black males can relate who haven't had their fathers in their lives and their mom on drugs running the streets. It is NOT easy to be successful from that ESPECIALLY with poverty added. young black males have a much larger population than the average male to have to overcome that struggle, not to mention RACISM TOO!
He's definitely the greatest of all time.........
''I was not born to make it but i did'' This hit me differently 2023.....Pac
Brought a tear to my eye . That was a real bar . Not lyrical but factual 💯 damn
𝓜𝓮 𝓽𝓸𝓸
this verse proves pac was way more than just a rapper

Sitting in my room, studying the verse ( so deep
Fucking right

Everybody got a close bond with Tupac off music alone.. Legend 💯

Easthighland Kash yes indeed
Thats why big dead real niggaz dont die
Tupac was bi porlar lol
Easthighland Kash FACTS
Pac will take you through all emotions
2023 anyone real OG here ? ❤️🔥
The saddest bars in Pacs verse was when he said, “ Rather go to college, but this is where the game stops. “ Just knowing how brilliant he was makes my heart break to witness how as black ppl we feel like we have to look for the holes in this world because if we take the right path and become successful we are targeted and considered a threat to supremacy.
So true, i felt that line. So raw, so deep, so painful
For real 😳💯 game up Oakland got lot game from Oakland...pac said if they tell him we're he from ..he say Oakland because that's were the game from. 🎮 lol
fact !!
Targeted by other black people
whoa...america does not equal the "world"!!
meaning that america has particular issues with bias (gerrymandering is one that is abhorrent to me).
We learned in Northern Ireland that education is the only way to overcome a society that doesnt respect you.
Bobby Sands:
"Our Revenge Will Be the Laughter of Our Children"
PAC verse will make someone break down in tears, he was the voice for the voiceless..
He sure was
Maybe the greatest verse in rap history.
2023 and we’re still playing this master piece.Who ever reading this just know that things do get better even when you can’t see a way out.After the rain there’s sunshine.Keep your head up and thug it out.before you know it ,you’ll look back and realize all the trials and tribulations were your blessings in disguise.Bless up my brothers and sisters,much love 🙏🏽
Let us be the roses who grew from concrete
Ain't that the truth...
💯
God bless you sir
No matter when you listen to this, if u listen to this that means we are in the same struggle my friend
Thats the coldest line in rap history "Mama got pregnant and papa got a peice of ass like how it began nobody gave a fucc about me pistol in my hand this cruel world could do without me" man thats the rawest line in rap history idgaf what nobody say
"I'm only 19 I'm trying to hustle on my own" Tupac was a king. He murdered the 1st verse. He was only what... 19? He touches my soul!😔
He a lil older than that.
@@bigbirdloc8819 he wrote this at 25
Pac died at 25 ... he was reflecting on his past in this song ... That's what makes it so great.
2pac was a movie star at 19 lol he wasn't talking about himself more his people
@@Nick-gl6td Pac was talking about the struggles of black/brown boys growing up in the ghetto.
Been on this since I was 14 I’m 41 and still gonna rep this till I’m gone. Soundtrack of my life.
80's baby 💯💯 I was raised on this still here August 2023 timeless real music
“Nobody gave a F$&@ about the pistol in my hand” That one cut me deep.
"This cruel world can do without me" how wrong he was we need him now more than ever

Forever 2pac
He dd say his music will live forever
@@BlackNvbdk morning ll
👍🏿
The passion this guy had is crazy,thanks pac rip my brother
might be the hardest start of any song ever. Tupacs lyrics were just flawless..
I was born dead with the umbilical cord around my neck. When he said I was born not to make it but I did, best believe I felt that.. this song is for special people
Felt that bro. I was born 3 months premature, couldn't breathe, had to get a tube hooked to my neck. Doctors told my mom I wasn't gonna live. Still here 21 years later, scars and all. Bless up.
AMEN. GOD NEVER MAKE A MISTAKE. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES ❤❤❤
That verse from Pac was so powerful.
2Pac's verse sends chills down my spine. He was a lyrical genius who put so much passion and aggression in his music. He could be smooth on one song and on the next he's raw & aggressive. This is one of the greatest rap verses and one of his best.
I agree. R.I.P my Thug Angel. Chill with a nigga today Tupac. God, Jesus, my 13 Angels. God got us.
Same here
I feel it, i need this
U know um tryin prove this for a long time he was a lyrical genius straight facts
Makaveli Raider Productions yes yes yes I love this song

2PAC forever in our hearts! Rest easy, im gonna listen to you till i die. Im looking forward to see you in heaven.
2024 we still rockin
@@jerradhinkle7982 much love for you bro!!!!
2Pac helped me go through some nasty problems in my life
Damn. I keep going back to Pac's verse. So much pain you can relate to. Deep
Mz White ikr repeated it many times,his verse is so deep.
Uu
Taj The Great One how it be with most his music
his verse tears me up honestly one of the many reasons he's the goat
Yeah they jus don't know
This man was only 25 when he died?? So much wisdom and understanding..Mr. Shakur the Greatest MC of all Times
I compare him to Muhammad Ali. A great man who boxed
He's great man who rapped
He was the next Malcolm X no doubt
MAKAVELI LIVES
Amen. Gone. To soon. It took a impact. On a lot. Of. Our people
EXPECT HIM LIKE YOU EXPECT JESUS TO COME BACK
He made me realize that in 25 years a human can accomplish great things. Things that can last eternity..
This my first time hearing this song…I can’t believe 2pacs verse.. I never felt something so relatable
True, Pac says all that I want so say, he expressed his thoughts so well. The greatest
Facts

His first verse is sooooo underrated !! A true poet.
Pac verse’s is perfect
Thats Right, Keeping it real G. I can relate to 90% of Pac words here. part of my childhood till the day I die that won't change. At my funeral, they better be bumping the song on repeat, so i can RIP well. Today February 1, 2024. Im still living, thank God.
THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME ❤❤
Nobody can beat Pac's poetry. Would have been nice if he could have finished that book. I can't imagine the amount of game he had in it.
What book???
@@palwanalnakeeb4120 life's book brudda
I didn't know he was writing a book
Notice how his bars are written with an elegant feel.. like poetry being read from a book. This is true hip hop, being the author of the stories told and then to see them in a different light that many could relate too... Rhythm and Poetry.
Fluid and Fluent. I know what you mean bro.
So subtle. Love and light!
Pad Had that MLK Cadence .
Listening to his first verse as a teen is what got me to keep moving forward in life. It was not an encouragement to be a dealer or gangster, it was an encouragement to make it. Even till today, STILL I RISE
✊🏼
#RealShit
RIP to everyone on the song including the producer!!! pac the greatest
This is one of his most underrated tracks
This my favorite Pac verse of all time...ppl try to say he ain't lyrical...ish give me goosebumps listening
This is pacs magnum opus as far as verses go. The most poetic of his work. Maya angelou would be proud.
Just when I thought this song couldn’t get better, kadaffi steps in and completed the perfection of this master piece
I was born not to make it but i did---tribulation of a ghetto kid --still I rise
Mr. Makaveli man’s word was powerful son
Love that verse
I felt that
Real talk 💯
Man the world had lost a pure legend trust me
I was born not to make it, but I did,
The tribulations of a ghetto kid, STILL I RISE!!! I tear up just about every time I hear this!!!
Music is about feeling it in your soul and having a meaning behind it..why tupac will always be the best ..just this verse alone does that for u
To all the true G’s out there, Keeping it real. Be safe everyone, much love
One of my favorite songs from Pac, and it's crazy everybody who was rapping on this track is deceased RIP PAC, FATAL, & KADAFI
+Rob Johnson big sike still alive. 96 bigbody sitten on chrome.

+Rob Johnson And the man who made the beat RIP Johnny J
+g devine Johnny J died on October 3, the day after my bday but like I said everybody that was rapping is deceased, but u right Johnny J did past also, so I gotta give him a shout out, RIP Johnny J, but like I told the other dude he was on the hook not rapping. I was more so talking about everybody that was rapping on the song not singing or on the hook, but it still all love
