    The original pages will set you back $75,000.

    By Jordan Darville



    Celebrity memorabilia website MomentsInTime.com is selling the three original lyric sheets Tupac Shakur used to write "Dear Mama," TMZ has reported. The pages will sell for $75,000, but you can read them in full here.

    The written lyrics are the same as the 1995 song, with the exception of a few notes: an annotation that suggests Ice Cube may have been considered for a guest verse, and a pair of notes referencing rumors surrounding Tupac's time in jail. According to TMZ, the pages were acquired from a private collector in Poland.

    MomentsInTime frequently acquires and sells items from Tupac's career. Last year, the site listed a love letter from Tupac for the price of $35,000. The BMW Tupac was shot and killed in on September 13, 1996 was also put up for sale for $1.5 million.

    One of the most sincere songs ever. Not just only in hiphop, but in music history.

    I don't understand the "he passed away and I didn't cry, cause my anger wouldn't let me feel for a stranger" part. He met his father and hung out with him. There are interviews with his father in some of the documentaries.

    He obviously still harboured resentment towards his dad for not being around when he was young.

    Saw something on a Pac forum about people not even being sure these are legit lol.

    The part about Ice Cube and also I saw a pic where Pac supposedly signed each page of these lyrics.. I dunno, kinda suspicious tbh, seems to be a decent chance they aren't legit. Pac didn't mostly sign each page of his lyrics based off what I've seen and heard.

    Either way people really milking anything of Pac's lately to try to get a payday.

    Dear mama was on the me against the world album, which came out in March 95. I might be wrong but pretty sure he didn't see his real dad again until after he got shot for the 1st time which was late 94..He probably already had dear mama recorded at that point and assumed or may have been told his dad was dead..

    I don't know though, just an idea..You're right though, that line doesn't make much sense now looking back at it unless I'm missing something.
