Once again, an artifact from the late Tupac Shakur has been made available for purchase to the masses.
The memorabilia website Moments In Time, which has sold numerous items that once belonged to Tupac, is selling a handwritten lyric sheet for the rapper’s Me Against The World track “Dear Mama” for $75,000.
Consisting of three handwritten pages, the sheets feature lyrics to “Dear Mama,” as well as a couple of side notes from ‘Pac.
On one sheet, the rapper jotted down the names of fellow lyricists Yo-Yo and Ice Cube. The note was likely for an original demo version of “Dear Mama,” which reportedly featured a sample from Ice Cube’s “It’s A Man’s World” record featuring Yo-Yo.
On “Dear Mama,” Tupac delved into his mother’s past struggle with
drugs, but also applauded her for her dedication, rapping, “‘Cause when I
was low you was there for me / And never left me alone, because you
cared for me.”
Afeni Shakur passed away last May at the age of 69.
