Lyrics Intro - 2Pac

At 12:25 a.m., Wednesday
2Pac was on his way into a Times Square building to record at an eight-floor studio with another rapper
But in the lobby, Shakur was shot several times, including two graze wounds to the head
2Pac's lawyers said, "The attack appeared to be a setup"

Against doctors orders, 2Pac Shakur checked himself out of the hospital less than 24 hours after being shot five times on the way into a Manhattan recording studio

2Pac Shakur secures one clean legal victory this year
As he's dismissed of assault charges brought against him when he allegedly shot at two off-duty Atlantic cops on Halloween last year
And the case was dismissed due to insufficient evidence

More controversy surrounding 2Pac Shakur...

Meanwhile, in 2Pac 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

2Pac 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 security for the injured rap star

Shakur underwent surgery today

The shooting of 2Pac Shakur here in New York City once again underscores the violence that has surrounded this man since he shot to superstardom in the world of music and entertainment
