[Afeni] The doctor
put him on dialysis just in case his kidney failed. [machines beeping] But every time they put him
on the machine, his heart would stop. [Glo] And they said,
"We resuscitated him
three times," and she heard that finally.
"What did you say?" [Afeni]
Tupac had stopped breathing. And every time
they revived him, he just went back. And I really felt
it was important for Tupac,
who fought so hard to have a free spirit, to be allowed to be free. You know?
And so I rejoiced. With him. And with the release
of his spirit, I rejoiced then
and I rejoice now
