IN THE DEPTHS OF SOLITUDE

An original poem written by 2PAC as recited by Ludacris in his Release Therapy Album. I just wanted to share it with you all.

I exist in the depths of solitude
Pondering my true goal
Trying to find peace of mind
And still preserve my soul
Constantly, yearning to be accepted
And from all, receive respect
Never comprising but sometimes risky
And that is my only regret
How can there be peace?
A young heart with an old soul
How can I be in the depths of solitude,
When there two inside of me?
This duo within me causes the perfect opportunity
To learn and live twice as fast.
As those who accept simplicity.

LUDACRIS:
Yes, if you read in between the lines,
You can understand exactly what my man 2PAC SHAKUR was talking about
You see, in or outside the music industry,
Everyone’s expression is already lonely on top
Well, you know PAC was on top,
it was only natural that he existed in the depths of solitude
Of course, he was a young heart with an old soul
An individual that was way ahead of his time
And sometimes, when you are ahead of your time,
You do wonder what your true goal in life is.
When u get so highly criticized and put down for teaching what you’ve learned to others,
And doing what you feel is the right thing to do
So with that, PAC like all soldiers fought to be accepted,
Especially by those who rejected him the most.
And even if you didn’t like him, you had to respect him.
You see, nobody is perfect, and of course, everyone makes mistakes,
But experience is the best teacher if you ask me.
So it is important to learn from each mistake,
And try hard not to make the same one twice.
His only regret was making the mistake of being too over-demanding a times.
But it’s the wild outrageous PAC, mixed with the sensitive loving PAC,
That made him almost a perfect person,
Also made him learn and live twice as fast,
And am sure he would rather walk thru life with these multi-dimensional personalities than to accept being one-sided and simplistic any day.
So being in the depths of solitude if you ask me
Is where the true heroes of our time stay.

TUPAC SHAKUR, in our hearts, in our minds forever,
Rest in Peace, Live in Harmony.
This is Luda, signing out, PEACE.

UCHEVELLI:
I hope that as you pondered thru the words of that poem,
taking moments to allow these words to digest into your soul,
Guiding your understanding step by step like a staircase
Allowing the words to germinate and bear the right fruits
Giving life to the words to beat on your conscience like a talking drum,
Yet leave you pondering … in the depths of solitude
Wondering what life is actually meant to be… peaceful.
I believe that Luda’s interpretation gave a lot of light to the deep paths of this flawless poem, and made more meaning to many,
Making the truths hidden thereof crystal clear,
At this point, am short of words,
Far in a soul sojourn of some sort
A trip of self rediscovery perhaps
What more can I say?
Stay true to what you believe in
And never give up your dreams no matter the odds.
Your boy, Uchevelli signing out… PEACE.
