Presented here are Tupac Shakur’s handwritten lyrics to the track “Payback”, a collaboration between Shakur and his fellow Los Angeles MC Eazy-E. “Payback” featured two verses from each rapper, with Shakur contributing the first and third and Eazy-E spitting the second and final verses. These handwritten lyrics are for Shakur’s second verse, and closely mirror his lyrics from the song “Pain” off the Above the Rim soundtrack. “Pain” was released as a maxi single on the same album as “Regulate” by Warren G and Nate Dogg and the Tupac track “Loyal to the Game” in 1994. These offered lyrics have been written in black pen on a piece of lined notebook paper with the numbers one through six written vertically down the side. The lyrics are accompanied by a LOA from JSA (Z42395).
