All Eyez on Me

1

I came to give you an address

from the political prisoners

held captive in the dungeons

of the United States.

They do not want me

to give you this address

here in the United States.

African-American people

and their movements

for liberation

have been criminalized.

Our finest and freedom fighters

have been slain in the streets.

Our people who stand up

for our freedom,

have been railroaded to prison

by the same legal system

that tries to protect you today

and yet tried

to kill you yesterday.

There are black

political prisoners

here in the United States!

And on behalf

of the white American

political prisoners,

I say to you, brother,

we have you

and we will not

give up the fight!

We will not give up the fight!

We will not give up the fight!

Tupac! Tupac!

Tupac! Tupac! Tupac! Tupac!

I shah not fear no man but God

Though I walk through

the valley of death

I shed so many tears

if I should die before I wake

Please, God, walk with me

Grab a nigga

and take me to Heaven

Forgive me for my sins,

let me into Heaven

Back in elementary,

I thrived on misery

Left me alone

I grew up amongst a dyin' breed

Inside my mind

couldn't find a place to rest

Until t got that Thug Life

tatted on my chest

Tell me can you feel me?

I'm not livin' in the past

You wanna last?

Be the first to blast

Remember Kate

No longer with us he's deceased

Cali on the sirens

Seen him murdered in the streets

New rest in peace

ls there heaven for a G?

Remember me

So many homies in the cemetery

Shed so many tears

I! I suffered

through the years

And shed so many tears

How's it goin'?

Every brother

ain't a brother, huh?

- Good time for this?

- Yes.

The first time we talked

on the phone

and you agreed

to these interviews,

you said, and I quote,

"If they kill me, I want

the people to have every drop.

I want them to know

the real story."

All I'm tryin' to do

is tell your real story.

REPORTER. After eight months,

the longest trial

in New York State history

has reached its conclusion.

The Panther 21,

accused of conspiring

to murder police officers

and blow up

government buildings,

have been acquitted

on all counts.

Yes.

Miss Shakur!

Miss Shakur,

how does it feel to be free?

"Free"?

You were

incarcerated for months.

You fought your own case

without representation and won.

Now that you're out.

Isn't there something

you'd like to say'?

Yes, I am a black woman.

A black woman

who just defended herself

against a racist,

fascist, imperialist system

and won!

But we must never forget

all the brothers and sisters

wrongfully accused,

who may never see justice.

We must speak for them,

because everybody knows

that all people

don't have freedom.

And all people don't have power.

Yes!

We are in a revolution!

Freedom ain't free.

And though I walk through

these doors right now,

I am yet to earn true freedom,

for my people.

And for the unborn child

growing in my womb.

Power to the people!

Power to the people!

Billy Garland

was your biological father.

But she ended up with Mutulu.

Right.

Brothers and sisters,

Mutulu Shakur.

- Black is beautiful.

- Black is beautiful!

I don't think y'all heard me.

I said, "Black is beautiful."

Black is beautiful!

They try to tell me

to watch my mouth.

Like I always do.

I said, "You need to listen

to what comes out of my mouth."

You mus! stand for something.

You must live for something!

And you must be willing

to die for something!

I'd rather die on my feet

than live on my knees.

I am a revolutionary!

Did you read that article

in The New York Times?

- Yes, ma'am.

- And?

Nelson Mandela

just got transferred

from Robben Island

to Pollsmoor Prison.

And what did you think

about what the journalist said

about the escalated violence

in the towns?

Motherfucka.

You watch your sister.

Hey!

I saw you last week

at the grocery store.

Then I saw you while we were

feeding the homeless.

Yeah, that was sweet.

You and all your other FBI pigs

need to stay the hell away

from my family!

Yeah, well,

that's not gonna happen.

Not until I have

that son of a b*tch.

Well, good, motherfuckin' luck!

Motherfucka!

Take care of those kids.

Come on!

Merry Christmas, young man.

Thank you, Mama.

I love it, Mama.

- Thank you, Daddy.

- You're welcome, baby.

That'll get you a lot further

than a basketball.

He?'-

Thanks, Mama.

What's up, beautiful?

I'm sorry

I didn't get you a gift.

You are my gift.

Hey.

You know I'm gonna be gone

for a while.

They gonna be lookin' for me.

I love you.

FBI! Get down! Get down!

On the floor!

Get away from my kids!

Get your pig hands

off my f***in' kids!

- Get her down!

- On the f***ing ground!

Stay down.

I demand to see a warrant!

The Fourth Amendment provides

that the people be secure

in their houses

against an unreasonable search!

Where's your boy,

Afeni? Hmm?

You don't know?

Let me remind you.

The bank robbing motherf***er?

You like seeing them like that?

- F*** you!

- Not tonight, sweetheart.

It's Christmas.

Get off!

Keep her the f*** down.

F***ing b*tch!

Will those men come get us

in Baltimore?

Not if I can help it.

I'm cold.

Come here.

He really a bank robber'?

You know, I don't know.

And it doesn't matter,

they're just tryin'

to neutralize him.

How come?

Because he is a threat

to the structure of the society.
