Runnin_ (Dying To Live)(MP3_128K)
[00:01.76] Between you and Biggie it was like, who's going to rule the
[00:07.24] Nigga kingdom and shit, basically, know what I'm saying?
[00:10.03] I was like, this is like a fucking election
[00:12.54] It is that
[00:14.03] You know what I am saying
[00:14.48] Me and Biggie's situation is smaller than that, it's like…
[00:19.53] And I wonder if they'll laugh when I'm dead?
[00:25.25] Why am I fighting to live if I'm just living to fight?
[00:30.29] (You don't know)
[00:31.29] Why am I trying to see when there ain't nothing in sight?
[00:37.04] Why am I trying to give when no one gives me a try?
[00:42.51] Why am I dying to live if I'm just living to die?
[00:48.76] Check it, I grew up a fuckin' screw-up
[00:51.29] Got introduced to the game, got a ounce and fuckin' blew up
[00:55.02] Choppin' rocks overnight
[00:57.03] The nigga Biggie Smalls tryna turn into the black Frank White
[01:01.05] We had to grow dreads to change our description
[01:04.03] Two cops is on the milk box missin'
[01:06.76] Show they toes, you know they got stepped on
[01:09.26] A fistful of bullets, a chest full of Teflon
[01:12.53] Runnin' from the police, picture that
[01:14.51] Nigga, I'm too fat, I fuck around and catch a asthma attack
[01:18.25] That's why I bust back, it don't faze me
[01:21.02] When he drop, take his Glock and I'm Swayze
[01:24.27] Celebrate my escape, sold the Glock, bought some weight
[01:27.27] Lay back, I got some money to make, motherfucker
[01:29.28] And I wonder if they'll laugh when I'm dead?
[01:34.50] Why am I fighting to live if I'm just living to fight?
[01:40.03] Why am I trying to see when there ain't nothing in sight?
[01:46.28] Why am I trying to give when no one gives me a try?
[01:51.99] Why am I dying to live if I'm just living to die?
[01:55.26] (It's on me)
[01:58.05] But still I'm havin' memories of high speed when the cops crashed
[02:01.52] As I laugh, pushin' the gas while my Glocks blast
[02:04.51] We was young and we was dumb, but we had heart
[02:07.53] In the dark, will we survive through the bad parts?
[02:10.26] Many dreams is what I had, and plenty wishes
[02:13.27] No hesitation in extermination of these snitches
[02:16.01] Envious bitches, they still continue to pursue me
[02:19.03] A couple of movies, now the whole world's tryna screw me
[02:22.03] Even the cops tried to sue me, so what can I do?
[02:24.77] But stay true, sippin' 22's of brew
[02:26.85] And now media is tryna test me
[02:29.32] Got the press askin' questions, tryna stress me
[02:32.07] Misery is all I see, that's my mind state
[02:34.82] My history with the police will shake the crime rate
[02:37.84] My main man had two strikes, slipped, got arrested, and flipped
[02:41.32] He screamed "Thug Life!" and emptied the clip
[02:43.43] Got tired of runnin' from the police
[02:44.19] And I wonder if they'll laugh when I'm dead?
[02:49.42] Why am I fighting to live if I'm just living to fight?
[02:55.67] Why am I trying to see when there ain't nothing in sight?
[03:01.44] Why am I trying to give when no one gives me a try? (They wanted a new regime)
[03:06.95] Why am I dying to live if I'm just living to die? (And my regime includes East coast, includes West coast)
[03:13.20] I was more shocked than anything
[03:15.93] You know what I'm sayin'?
[03:16.67] But I wasn't more shocked of him dying
[03:19.93] I was more shocked of him… Pac is a strong dude, yo
[03:24.67] I know dude, you know what I'm sayin'? Real strong
[03:27.17] So when they was like he got shot, I was just more like, "Again?" you know what I'm sayin'?
[03:30.91] He always getting shot, or shot at
[03:33.40] He going to pull through this one again
[03:34.70] Make a few records about it, and it's going to be over
[03:37.54] You know what I'm sayin'?
[03:38.17] But when he, when he died, I was just like, "whoa", you know what I'm saying? Kinda took me by
[03:43.44] I mean, even though we was going through our drama
[03:45.17] I would never wish death on nobody
[03:46.68] You know what I'm sayin'?
[03:47.69] Because there ain't no coming back from that
