Tupac "If I Fail" (alternate), 2025

$8,000.00

Created during the development of the official 2Pac Poetry Month collection, this alternate painting honors the legacy of Tupac Amaru Shakur as both poet and cultural icon. 

This alternate version, not seen in the final collection, is a rare glimpse depicting the 'highs-&-lows' duality of If I Fail.

If I Fail

If in my quest 2 achieve my goals
I stumble or crumble and lose my soul
Those that knew me would easily co-sign
There was never a life as hard as mine
No father —no money— no chance and no guide
I only follow my voice inside
if it guides me wrong and I do not win
I'll learn from my mistakes and try 2 achieve again.

- Tupac Amaru Shakur
