"'Letter 2 My Unborn'" is a song by Tupac Shakur, released as a posthumous single from his album 'Until the End of Time' in 2001.
The accompanying music video received moderate airplay though it was less successful than the lead single from the album, the title track. The single peaked at number 64 in the airplay chart.
Lyrical content
In the song, Tupac speaks to his then-unborn child as a precaution for fear that he would not be able to meet or speak with them in the event of his death prior to their birth. Shakur relays stories of his own life and advises the child to avoid the troubles that he faced.
Composition
The song samples Michael Jackson's 1987 hit "Liberian Girl" (from 'Bad', 1987), but is set at a higher tempo and features a female vocal backing track by Tena Jones (formerly of 4th Avenue Jones).
