«They say pussy and paper is poetry, power and pistols»

[Ryan2318]

theres probably no deep meaning to it but just for fun

"pussy and paper is poetry power and pistols"

well pussy can be related to love, so can poetry,
paper is related to money, and power is too,

put love and money together and you have the love of money aka the root of all evil. it could also be just protecting your money. So to connect it together: you use pistols either because of evil or just for protection of your money

i don't really think theres any deep meaning to this song though. maybe ask the producer or someone that was in the studio with pac?

I thought it had something to do with talking of the media about rapartists, especially like tupac.

They: the media
pussy and paper: money & hoes
poetry, power and pistols: lyrics, power and violence

i think it was just abstract-----it means whatever you want it to

 

[LyricalDisguise]

I don't know but tupac wasn't a abstract rapper, he was always very specific and he was never just bullshittin' . But in this case I really dont know what the meaning was...

 

[RIPPAC4]

No deep meaning

i just think pac was extremely high when he wrote this thats why it sounds the way it does. there is no "deeper" meaning in the lyrics.

whatever

 

[THELegendInsane]

i think yall reading into it too much,Pac probably just spit that line without it having a meaning,Everything aint gotta make sense,it just gotta rhyme lol.

Exactly WHY was this thread closed: http://2pacboard.com/forum/showthread.php?p=95151#post95151 ??

This thread should be closed and mine re-opened, for it was my question in the first place!

 

[Makavelinine6]

saying US rap is better than rappin from somewhere else is like saying US milk is better than milk from somewhere else.....it's all the same, someone spitting over a beat...........

 

[imported_MAKaveli_10]

maybe he is saying these are the 5 things he needs in life. Pussy, Power, Poetry, Paper and Pistols. He needed the pussy for fun, power for respect, poetry for enjoyment, Paper to buy what the fuck he wants and pistols because he is a thug.

 

[something]

They say pussy and paper (women and money) is (a benefit coming from) poetry, power and pistols (rapping, uh.. power and pistols). So it just means that the latter bring you the former, but i guess the point of the song is that people have to consider the cost, that you could die early. That's how I look at it anyways.
