Tupac Poetry
Tupac wrote this poem sometime between 1988 and 1990 because in 'Only 4 the Righteous' he wrote about 'Strictly Dope' a rap group he joined together with Ray-Luv and DJ Diz. It was Leile Steinberg who later introduced Tupac to Shock G, from 'Digital Underground'.

Leila Steinberg: 'I called Shock and said, "I don't give a fuck how busy you are on your new album 'cause you'll probably want Pac on it. So you need to stop what you're doing and let me bring this man to you." We got into the studio and Tupac had written a song called "Panther Power" and, man, those lyrics grabbed you.'

Only 4 the Righteous


I'm Down with strictly Dope "So"
That means I'm more than u can handle
"Hot" I'm hotter that the wax from a candle
"Him" that's Roc he's my microphone companion
"Lyrics" full of knowledge truth and understanding
"Hobbies" rapping is my only recreation
"retire" u must be on some kind of medication
"why" because I'll never loosen up my mic grip
"Drugs" never cuz I'm living on the right tip
"sex" only with my girl because I love her
"Babies" impossible I always use a rubber
"Bored" rarely cuz I'm keeping myself busy
"Scratch" nah I leave the cutting up 2 Dize
"Dize?" yeh that's my D.J. he's the greatest
"Word" nah he's paying me 2 say this
"the mind" is something that I cultivate and treasure
"Thanks" you're welcome and besides it was my Pleasure

- Tupac Shakur
