Incredible set of Tupac Shakur handwritten working lyrics for the second verse of the track "Throw Ya Handz Up,” one page written in black ballpoint pen on 8.5” x 11" sheet of notebook paper. Lyrics read, in full: “Could it be that controversy was my destiny/can’t let my anger get the best of me/Everywhere we hang it’s the same thing/In 95 you could die if you gang bang/We can’t survive getting high like a True G/Can’t close my eyes cuz these cowards wanna do me/& sue me I’ve been hustlin’ since day 1/out on the block and never stopping til the pay come/But now a dayz it’s like Bang Bang duck quick/Guess u think u tough shit cuz you bust capz/But suck dick cuz a kid got his cap peel/The rap field full of Phoniez who pack steel & act ill/Everybody wanna act hard I swear 2 God/Tis the season 2 pull these Niggaz cardz/You fucking fraudz can’t handle bizness like a soulja/Petrified 2 throw em’ from the shoulders now.” An impressive (16) lines in the hand of the renowned rap legend, and containing eery lines such as, “In 95 you could die if you gang bang/We can’t survive getting high like a True G/Can’t close my eyes cuz these cowards wanna do me,” foreshadowing his drive-by-shooting death a mere year later.
