Changes, in this rap Tupac conveys his point that nothing is changing and how racism is affecting him. The final text is 12 Years A Slave. This is a story about how the main character Solomon was taken into slavery. The four authors of these texts are Boaz Yakin, Tupac Shakur and Steve McQueen.

One view, held by the Stage Manager himself, is one of simplicity. Meaning that, the ceremony itself, is short and sweet, and the two live side by side the rest of their lives.
