“Penitentiaries is packed with promise-makers
Never realized the precious time that bitch n***** is wastin’
Institutionalized, I live my life a product made to crumble
But too hardened for a smile, we’re too crazy to be humble, Tupac (Hail Mary)
Hip Hop’s most eerie record was officially released as a single in February of 1997. Produced by Hurt-M-Badd and featuring the Outlawz, “Hail Mary” is one of Tupac’s most popular records which often is played throughout the world via tribute’s live on stage by artists such as Snoop Dogg and Lil Wayne.
