50% of net profits from each sale go directly to The Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation to highlight & assist their efforts "eradicating the effects of trauma on our community by raising awareness of its impact on mental health and wellness."
 
Tupac Shakur was more than just a rapper—he was a visionary who deeply believed in the potential for change within minority communities. From a young age, he was exposed to the struggles of Black America through his mother's involvement with the Black Panther Party, which shaped his passion for justice and empowerment.
 
Tupac often spoke about rebuilding the very neighborhoods he saw plagued by poverty, violence, and systemic oppression. His lyrics, interviews, and activism consistently reflected his desire to uplift those who were marginalized, particularly young Black men who, like him, grew up surrounded by hardship.
 
One of Tupac’s most powerful missions was to end gang violence and the drug epidemic that tore communities apart. He openly condemned the selling of drugs to minors and believed that gang members could be redirected toward positive, community-driven goals.
 
Tupac envisioned a world where rival gangs would come together not for war, but for building schools, creating safe spaces, and providing resources for the next generation. He understood that the cycle of violence could be broken with knowledge, unity, and opportunity—messages he wove into his music and public statements.
 
Tupac’s confidence in his purpose was unwavering. He often spoke about knowing he was here for a reason, and he believed his role was to awaken others to their own power. In one of his most iconic quotes, he said, “I may not change the world, but I guarantee I will spark the brain that will change the world.” Tupac saw his soul clearly, as he put it, and used his platform not just for entertainment but for truth.
 
Despite the chaos and controversy that surrounded his life, his message remained clear: to inspire, to provoke thought, and to ignite a movement for justice and change.
 
"The question I wonder is after death, after my last breath
When will I finally get to rest through this oppression?
They punish the people that's askin' questions
And those that possess, steal from the ones without possessions
The message I stress, to make it stop, study your lessons
Don't settle for less, even the genius asks questions
Be grateful for blessings
Don't ever change, keep your essence
The power is in the people and politics, we address
Always do your best, don't let this pressure make you panic
And when you get stranded
And things don't go the way you planned it
Dreamin' of riches, in a position of makin' a difference
Politicians and hypocrites, they don't wanna listen
If I'm insane, it's the fame made a brother change
It wasn't nothin' like the game
It's just me against the world"
