Runnin' (Dying To Live)

[00:01.04] Between you and Biggie it was like, who's going to rule the

[00:05.86] Nigga kingdom and shit, basically, know what I'm saying?

[00:09.32] I was like, this is like a fucking election

[00:11.71] It is that, you know what I'm saying?

[00:14.16] Me and Biggie's situation is smaller than that

[00:16.28] Me and Biggie's situation it's like

[00:17.35] And I wonder if they'll laugh when I'm dead?

[00:25.06] Why am I fighting to live, if I'm just living to fight?

[00:30.11] Why am I trying to see, when there ain't nothing in sight?

[00:36.50] Why am I trying to give, when no one gives me a try?

[00:42.08] Why am I dying to live, if I'm just living to die?

[00:48.19] Check it, I grew up a fuckin' screw-up

[00:50.58] Got introduced to the game, got a ounce and fuckin' blew up

[00:54.30] Choppin' rocks overnight

[00:56.42] The nigga Biggie Smalls trying to turn into the black Frank White

[00:59.87] We had to grow dreads to change our description

[01:02.80] Two cops is on the milk box missing

[01:05.98] Show they toes you know they got stepped on

[01:08.64] A fist full of bullets a chest full of Teflon

[01:11.56] Run from the police picture that, nigga I'm too fat

[01:15.29] I fuck around and catch a asthma attack

[01:17.42] That's why I bust back, it don't phase me

[01:20.38] When he drop, take his Glock, and I'm Swayze

[01:23.30] Celebrate my escape, sold the Glock, bought some weight

[01:26.75] Lay back, I got some money to make, motherfucker

[01:29.40] And I wonder if they'll laugh when I'm dead?

[01:33.92] Why am I fighting to live, if I'm just living to fight?

[01:39.76] Why am I trying to see, when there ain't nothing in sight?

[01:45.34] Why am I trying to give, when no one gives me a try?

[01:51.48] Why am I dying to live, if I'm just living to die?

[01:54.99] It's on me

[01:57.51] But still I'm having memories of high speed when the cops crashed

[02:00.96] As I laugh, pushing the gas while my Glocks blast

[02:03.88] We was young and we was dumb, but we had heart

[02:06.82] In the dark, will we survive through the bad parts

[02:09.74] Many dreams is what I had, and plenty wishes

[02:12.66] No hesitation in extermination of these snitches

[02:15.58] Envious bitches, they still continue to pursue me

[02:18.50] A couple of movies, now the whole world's trying to screw me

[02:21.42] Even the cops tried to sue me, so what can I do?

[02:24.08] But stay true, sipping 22's of brew

[02:26.74] And now media is trying to test me

[02:28.87] Got the press asking questions, trying to stress me

[02:32.09] Misery is all I see, that's my mind state

[02:34.21] My history with the police will shake the crime rate

[02:37.13] My main man had two strikes, slipped, got arrested and flipped

[02:41.13] He screamed "thug life" and emptied the clip

[02:42.99] Got tired of running from the police

[02:44.32] And I wonder if they'll laugh when I'm dead?

[02:49.36] Why am I fighting to live, if I'm just living to fight?

[02:54.94] Why am I trying to see, when there ain't nothing in sight?

[03:01.05] Why am I trying to give, when no one gives me a try?

[03:06.92] Why am I dying to live, if I'm just living to die?
