If you want a handwritten letter by Tupac Shakur, you will have to fork over $225K.

According to TMZ.com, the letter, which was written when Tupac was in jail for rape, was about how Tupac was giving up the "Thug Life." The emotional letter also talked about how his "homiez" can still make it out of the hood alive.

Tupac wrote, "I did not begin thug life I just personified it. I couldn't stop it if I tried but in my heart the thug n**** has advanced 2 be a Boss Playa. So no Thug Life is not Dead but in my heart it is If u are sharp u will learn from this if not 5 shots & years later u too will see if your that luck."

The letter is reportedly being sold by Moments in Time, a memorabilia site. The asking price is fixed at $225,000.

In other Tupac news, rumors that the iconic singer might still be alive have been circulating the Internet once again. These rumors were sparked when an old video of Suge Knight surfaced claiming that Tupac faked his own death presumably to avoid prison.

On top of this video, a retired officer named David Myers claimed that he was paid off to help fake Tupac's death. The officer, who is in critically medical condition, reportedly received $1.5 million to help. He also stated that Tupac paid for a body double and that Suge Knight was involved with the whole cover-up plan.

"The world needs to know what I did. I'm ashamed that I let a price be put on my word and I cannot die without letting the world know," Myers said according to HollywoodLife.com. There is no concrete evidence so far that Myers is telling the truth.

Tupac was shot in September 1996 and died at the hospital at the age of 25. His body was cremated.
