Tupac Shakur, who has sold over 75 million records worldwide, is one of the best-selling music artists of all time. Before his untimely death in 1996, Shakur penned and initialed this “Solitude” poem in black marker on an 8.5 x 11 notebook page that reads:
“It drives me crazy I’m in a constant depressed mood
People say that they’re friends but I’m stuck in this solitude
Escape I cannot because I’m lost in my own pain
Fighting 4 breath but nothing is gained
I’m Hearing lots of voices but they’re all saying me
Trapped, I am in solitude from here til eternity.”
This item comes with two signed and notarized affidavits from Charles Fuller (Partner of Tupac Shakur in Out Da Gudda Records) who personally received the poem from Shakur. And Atron Gregory (President of TNT Records) attesting to the authenticity of this poem penned by Shakur. Due to lack of exemplars, you are bidding on this item based on the affidavits provided.
