the last time I saw Pac
On in the yard of San Quentin
and huh… we sitting down talking… in the big yard of San Quentin…
I think he was about 15 years old… just before he became… became famous
And huh! he was asking about the huh!
Policy of the Black Panther… huh. huh! Patrol Unit… huh!
When we used to patrol the police
back in the day
And huh!
And so. I began to tell him about the policy
If you have a gun.
And if you on patrol.
if you are riding with that gun
Then you shouldnt have that gun
if you not gonna use that gun
But if that gun is with you
You have to use it
And the policy was called
Ride or Die
You Ride u Die!
You dont go aint nowhere armed.
Unless u prepared to use those arms
So that policy was called Ride or Die.
And later on… few years later
After he got famous… and huh!
I heard his song. that made me smile and I called him… huh
that was not too long before he was huh! assasinated. And huh…
You brothers want me to touch on that… Thats the Origins of that saying Ride
or Die. that huh!
Lot of brothers lost their lives. huh huh!
Fred Hampton, Wattletle Rayppo…
Right here in Houston
A brother called Hampton who was a great- great man… who lost his life huh!
and so many others. huh!
They Ride… They Rode… They Died!
