Other than that, now that I -finally got a chance to holla at you, I always wanted to ask you about a -certain situa--, about a metaphor actually, you spoke on the ground. -What you mean 'bout that, what the ground represent? - -[2Pac:] -The ground is gonna open up and swallow the evil - -[Kendrick Lamar:] -Right - -[2Pac:] -That's how I see it, my word is bond. I see - and -the ground is the symbol for the poor people, the poor people is gonna -open up this whole world and swallow up the rich people. Cause the rich -people gonna be so fat, they gonna be so appetising, you know what I'm -saying, wealthy, appetising. The poor gonna be so poor and hungry, you -know what I'm saying it's gonna be like⦠there might be some cannibalism -out this mutha, they might eat the rich - -[Kendrick Lamar:] -Aight -so let me ask you this then, do you see yourself as somebody that's -rich or somebody that made the best of their own opportunities? - -[2Pac:] -I -see myself as a natural born hustler, a true hustler in every sense of -the word. I took nothin', I took the opportunities, I worked at the most -menial and degrading job and built myself up so I could get it to where -I owned it. I went from having somebody manage me to me hiring the -person that works my management company. I changed everything I realized -my destiny in a matter of five years you know what I'm saying I made -myself a millionaire. I made millions for a lot of people now it's time -to make millions for myself, you know what I'm saying. I made millions -for the record companies, I made millions for these movie companies, now -I make millions for us - -[Kendrick Lamar:] -And through your different avenues of success, how would you say you managed to keep a level of sanity? - -[2Pac:] -By -my faith in God, by my faith in the game, and by my faith in "all good -things come to those that stay true." You know what I'm saying, and it -was happening to me for a reason, you know what I'm saying, I was -noticing, shit, I was -punching the right buttons and it was happening. So it's no problem, you -know I mean it's a problem but I'm not finna let them know. I'm finna -go straight through - -[Kendrick Lamar:] -Would you consider yourself a fighter at heart or somebody that only reacts when they back is against the wall? - -[2Pac:] -Shit, -I like to think that at every opportunity I've ever been threatened -with resistance, it's been met with resistance. And not only me but it -goes down my family tree. You know what I'm saying, it's in my veins to -fight back - -[Kendrick Lamar:] -Aight well, how long you think it -take before niggas be like, we fighting a war, I'm fighting a war I -can't win and I wanna lay it all down - -[2Pac:] -In this country a -black man only have like 5 years we can exhibit maximum strength, and -that's right now while you a teenager, while you still strong or while -you still wanna lift weights, while you still wanna shoot back. Cause -once you turn 30 it's like they take the heart and soul out of a man, -out of a black man in this country. And you don't wanna fight no more. -And if you don't believe me you can look around, you don't see no loud -mouth 30-year old muthafuckas - -[Kendrick Lamar:] -That's crazy, -because me being one of your offspring of the legacy you left behind I -can truly tell you that there's nothing but turmoil goin' on so I wanted -to ask you what you think is the future for me and my generation today? - -[2Pac:] -I think that niggas is tired of grabbin' shit out the stores and next time it's a riot there's gonna be, like, uh, bloodshed for real. I don't think America -know that. I think American think we was just playing and it's gonna be -some more playing but it ain't gonna be no playing. It's gonna be -murder, you know what I'm saying, it's gonna be like Nat Turner, 1831, -up in this muthafucka. You know what I'm saying, it's gonna happen - -[Kendrick Lamar:] -That's -crazy man. In my opinion, only hope that we kinda have left is music -and vibrations, lotta people don't understand how important it is. -Sometimes I be like, get behind a mic and I don't know what type of -energy I'mma push out, or where it comes from. Trip me out sometimes - -[2Pac:] -Because the spirits, we ain't even really rappin', we just letting our dead homies tell stories for us - -[Kendrick Lamar:] -Damn - -I wanted to read one last thing to you. It's actually something a good friend had wrote describing my world. It says: - -"The caterpillar is a prisoner to the streets that conceived it -Its only job is to eat or consume everything around it, in order to protect itself from this mad city -While consuming its environment the caterpillar begins to notice ways to survive -One thing it noticed is how much the world shuns him, but praises the butterfly -The butterfly represents the talent, the thoughtfulness, and the beauty within the caterpillar -But -having a harsh outlook on life the caterpillar sees the butterfly as -weak and figures out a way to pimp it to his own benefits -Already surrounded by this mad city the caterpillar goes to work on the cocoon which institutionalizes him -He can no longer see past his own thoughts -He's trapped -When trapped inside these walls certain ideas take roots, such as going home, and bringing back new concepts to this mad city -The result? -Wings begin to emerge, breaking the cycle of feeling stagnant -Finally free, the butterfly sheds light on situations that the caterpillar never considered, ending the internal struggle -Although the butterfly and caterpillar are completely different, they are one and the same." - -What's your perspective on that? -Pac? Pac? -Pac?!
