[Chorus] You know, I wonder if they'll laugh when I am dead Why am I fighting to live, if I'm just living to fight Why am I trying to see, when there ain't nothing in sight Why am I trying to give, when no one gives me a try Why am I dying to live, if I'm just living to die
[Notorious B.I.G.] Check it, I grew up a fucking screw up Got introduced to the game, got a ounce and fucking blew up Chopping rocks overnight The nigga Biggie Smalls trying to turn into the black Frank White We had to grow dreads to change our description Two cops is on the milk box missing Show they toes you know they got stepped on A fist full of bullets a chest full of Teflon Run from the police picture that, nigga I'm too fat I fuck around and catch a asthma attack That's why I bust back, it don't phase me When he drop, take his glock, and I'm Swayze celebrate my escape, sold the glock, bought some weight Laid back, I got some money to make, motherfucker
[Chorus]
[2Pac] And still I'm having memories of high speeds, when the cops crashed As I laugh pushing the gas when my glocks blast We was young, and we was dumb but we had heart In the dark when we survived through the bad parts Many dreams is what I had, and many wishes No hesitation in extermination of these snitches Envious bitches, they still continue to pursue me A couple of movies now the whole world trying to screw me even the cops tried to sue me So what can I do but stay true, sipping 22's a brewing now the medias trying to test me got the press asking questions, trying to stress me misery is all I see, thats my mind's state My history with the police is shakin' the crime rate Ma main man had 2 strikes, slipped, got arrested and flipped He screamed 'Thug Life!' and emptied the clip gots tired of running from the police
