I hope u heard me when I asked

But mine for all your life
2 accept me when I sin

Not 2 mention standing the rain

Wife 4 Life: Dedicated 2 April was written by 2Pac.
Wife 4 Life: Dedicated 2 April was produced by 2Pac.
On April 29, 1995, Tupac married longtime girlfriend Keisha Morris while incarcerated. He gives her the pseudonym “April” in his poems dedicated to her. It marks the month the couple wedded.
Tupac’s poem “Wife 4 Life: Dedicated to April” is the original version. The other version that appears on the posthumous compilation album is a reinterpretation and recitation of Shakur’s work of poetry that features Ahmad, Tena Jones, K-Ci & 4th Avenue Jones.
