Road To Glory

Fluent thoughts from my brain and I train to remain strong
They said I couldn't do it
Lock me in chains til I
My struggles closer to the pain of a trained killer
Please believe that I'll never be shamed again
But can I be the next heavyweight champion?
Call me crazy but no one can fade me
I'm the product of the projects
Lost and crazy
Throw your hands up Mr. Bruno, why?
Big Mike Tyson bout to brutalize that ass tonight
No hesitation in front of the whole nation
I beat that ass so bad I probably violate probation
Through demonstration as I strategize information
Intend to kill so it's real like I'm catching cases
Ha-ha
Let the world know I plan to die
If I don't leave with what I came for I'll be denied
[Chorus]
Now, my first round is for the times that I sit in this cell
The second round is for the media and the lies they tell
My third round is for the pain that I felt inside
Best recognize I won't be denied, when we ride
My first round is for the times that I sit in this cell
The second round is for the media and the lies they tell
My third round is for the pain that I felt inside
Best recognize I won't be denied, when we ride
(repeated)
Road To Glory - 2Pac
Delivered with his signature raw intensity, this track by Tupac Shakur stands as a quintessential example of his ability to blend personal narrative with broader social commentary. The recording captures the West Coast hip-hop sound of the mid-to-late 1990s, characterized by its gritty production and Shakur's commanding vocal delivery. While often associated with themes of struggle and resilience, the song reflects his ongoing exploration of fame, identity, and the complexities of life in the public eye. It serves as a testament to his status as a defining voice in gangsta rap, where he frequently juxtaposed street-level realities with aspirations for greatness. The work remains a staple in discussions of 90s hip-hop, showcasing his lyrical prowess and emotional depth without relying on specific chart data or obscure biographical details.
