LETTER FROM 2PAC'S STEPFATHER MUTULU SHAKUR

This letter was written the night of Tupac's death 
from the cell of his stepfather,Mutulu Shakur, inside 
the federal penitentiary in Florence, Colo.


I love you whenever....forever.
Tupac, so much I needed to say, so much you 
wanted to say. Manyconversations between us 
within the ether, whenever forever. The
pain inflicted that scarred your soul but 
not your spirit gaveforce to the rebellion. 
Many couldn't see your dreams or understand 
your nightmares. How could they, Tupac? I knew 
yourlove and understood your passion. But you 
knew of your beginningand saw your end....racing 
towards it.You taught and fought through your songs
and deeds. RATT-TATT-TATT of words penetrating the 
contradictionof our existence. Whenever....forever 
Who cares? We cared, Tupac. The Shakurs have been 
guided by struggle, prepared or not, whenever....forever. 
We've exposedour existence, naked from fear, to 
those who would hear thepositive. Who would witness 
the stress, wear and tear of this lonely path. You 
couldn't have evaded the effect or the changes.
You inherited it, it was in your genes. But still, you danced
your dance, you lived your life. You forced loyality on those who
would fake and shake at the true vision. You were Tupac Like the
four seasons, we come to this planet taking form, becoming elements
of nature, Some of us are only one season, and others like you
were part of many seasons. This dynamic will scare most anyone
who realized the burden at such an early stage of life. You
fought well. We love you. We understand....forever, whenever.
Please give my love to our family. Ask them to help you on the
other side. Tell Zayd, Lumumba, Aby, Brother Leggs, Mtaryi, Attallah,
that they are to continue to help us down here. Shakur's love is
strong. Whenever....forever Friday 13th didn't mean a thing. Life
is for living and dying well. Whenever.....forever.
Allah knows best. We choose the quality of our life. You understand
the pain of disappointment in the ones we love. You pushed so
many away. Burnt so many bridges so they wouldn't follow you into
battles against the demons you were facing. Knowing well to what
lengths you would go. This battlefield of reality is littered
with many meaningless casualties You never yelled out
"Somebody, save me!" You only asked for your soul to be
free, whenever....forever. You told us to keep our head up, knowing
the pain was coming. Knowing to look for the strength in the
heavens. Set your soul free, Tupac Amaru. We keep waiting in vain
for their love Will your levitation be awakening of us all? The division unsettling
to our dreams and goals?
You passing demanding repentance and resistance? We keep waiting, not in vain.
We give you love. Give us love. To my brother and son, these emotions are hell.
I wish you well in the next journey. My soul aches for comfort.
In our next life we will finish our unfinished journey. Whenever.....forever
For now Tupac, we will hold our heads up. This journey is at an
end, your ashes are in the wind. Friends and enimies will have to
look to the stars. You are truly a star. A star navigating
through the dynamics of this, your path chosen before you arrived. Lessions
we've gained will materialize after you're gone.
Whenever....forever Your family will keep the spirit high, for we
are Shakurs. We are thankful for what life gives us. Through the
pain and the struggle we are blessed by the victory. Go forward,
Tupac. The victories---we will teach your mission, we are
thankful for you. We love you, Tupac Shakur. We ain't mad at you,
we'll be better because of you. So now I give you my tears so I
might assimilate your loss and I can live on in peace. Knowing I
will feed your spirit with my unconditional love, knowing you
will need it on your next journey.
May Allah bless you for your deeds and forgive your errors. Tupac come
to me an give me strength. Love always. Your father, friend, comrade,
Mutulu
