Story of the legend that is pac. This was the first song he gave to the label. They knew he was a great rapper but told him it can’t be this song- too dark and controversial. Tupac said that it’s this song first or he won’t sign with them. He called their bluff. They signed him.

Most young girls who are molested are molested by someone in their family! When my kids were born, my wife and I would not even let them spend the night over with either of our PARENTS until they were old enough to TALK, and then, before that, we had very specific conversations with them about what is appropriate and what is not. Not that either of our parents ever gave us any reason to believe that they would harm our kids, but we just had a zero tolerance policy across the board and we enforced it!!!

Life has a way of programming us and making us see a reality it wants us to see. People like 2pac come along and challenge those pseudo subjective social norms, that mask absolute objectives values. The bible says it like this, children to honor your parents, it doesn't say judge them (even though in this song he got it half right, still i can live with that. I understand that he actually established a relationship with his biological father before his death).
