On Tuesday (June 15), Smiths wife and 2Pacs childhood friend Jada Pinkett Smith shared a rare poem from the slain Hip Hop legend titled Lost Soulz. Pinkett explained in the post, I went down memory lane over the years. Pac wrote me many letters and many poems and I dont think this one has ever been published, honestly. He had a song called Lost Souls on the Gang Related soundtrack but I believe this was the original concept because he wrote this, I believe, when he was at Rikers .
