"Me Against The World Intro" lyrics |
[ News Reporters ]
( News Reporter 1 )
At 12:25 A.M. Wednesday
Tupac was on his way
In to a Times Square Building
To record at an eight floor studio
With another rapper
But in the line
Shakur was shot several times
Including two graze wounds to the head
Tupac's lawyer said the attack
Appeared to be a set up.
( News Reporter 2 )
Against doctor's orders
Tupac Shakur checked himself
Out of the hospital
Less than 24 hours after
Being shot 5 times
On the way to a Manhattan recording studio
( News Reporter 1 )
Tupac Shakur secure's one clean legal victory
This year as he's dissmissed of assault charges
Brought against him
When he allegiedally shot two off duty
Atlanta cops on Halloween last year
The case was dissmissed
Due to insufficient evidence
( News Reporter 3 )
More contriversy surrounding Tupac Shakur
( News Reporter 2 )
Meanwhile
In Tupac news
At about 6:45 tonight
Shakur may have lowered his own chances
Of surviving the attack
By checking himself out of the hospital
That probably saved his life.
( News Reporter 4 )
Tupac Shakur checked into the
Metropolitan Hospital yesterday
Under an assumed name
His lawyers said that he had connections
But wouldn't say what kind
That could provide top notch sercurity
For the injured rap star.
( News Reporter 2 )
Shakur underwent sergery today
( News Reporter 3 )
The shooting of Tupac Shakur
Here in New York City
Once again underscores the violence
That has surrounded this man
Since he shocked the super startem'
In the world of music and entertainment
