In The Event of My Demise - Tupac Shakur


" 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"


This is probably the most telling about the personality of Tupac because obviously we all know he was killed but this just shows how he had already come to terms with dying before his time. This was clearly written many years before his death, but he was so wise and knew that because of his radical views and popularity that there would be many who hated him and wanted to see him dead. Yet he did not take it as many people would, he understood he would be dying for what he believed in even if no one else was there to stand up for him.
