At the start of the letter, Tupac states that he is “not granting this information to any other publication.”
From there, he appears to denounce the thug life lifestyle, and later comments on becoming a “Boss Playa.”
“[Many] never survive the next level of Thug Life . . . They become addicted to death. A True Boss Playa knows when to advance . . . U must play the game, not let the game play u,” Tupac wrote, according to Page Six. “A regular Playa plays women . . . a Boss Playa plays life. A Boss Playa is a thinker, a leader, a builder, a moneymaker, a souljah, a teacher and most of all, a Man! I want all my homiez to know there is another level.”

The letter from Tupac consists of five pages, and according to Bhadreshwar, it touches on “the rite of passage of a young black male in America.”
