Jada Pinkett Smith Shared A Tupac Poem And Twitter Is Struggling To Be Mature About It
“Tupac Amaru Shakur would have been 50 midnight tonight!” Jada wrote on Instagram before the wise ones showed up to crack jokes. “As we prepare to celebrate his legacy … let’s remember him for that which we loved most … his way with words. Here are a few you may have never heard before.”
The 49-year-old entertainer then shared a hand-written poem from the legendary artist, titled “Lost Soulz.”
“Some say nothing gold can last forever / And 2 believe this [I] need no proof / I have witnessed all that was pure in me / And be changed by the evil men can do / The innocence possessed by children / Once lived inside my soul / But surviving years with criminal peers / Has turned my warm heart to cold / I used 2 dream and fantasize / But now I’m scared 2 sleep / Petrified, not to live or die / But to awaken and still be me,” Tupac wrote in the poem.
The rapper proceeds to illustrate the life he wants to live before he dies.
“It is true that nothing gold can last / We will all one day see death / When the purest hearts are torn apart / LOST SOULS are all that’s left / Down on my knees I beg of God / To save me from this fate / Let me live to see what was gold in me / Before it is all too late,” the poem continued.
