Runnin (Dying To Live) (Album Version (Explicit))

Between you and Biggie was like, who's gonna, who's gonna, who ruled, the, the, nigga kingdom and shit basically, you know what I'm sayin'? It was like, this is like an election... It is an election You know what I'm sayin'? Me and Biggie's situation was smaller than that, me and Biggie's situation was like... Tupac Shakur was shot several times in the chest... 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 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 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 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 And these 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 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 I was shocked at everything! Ya know what I'm saying. I wasn't more shocked at him dying. I was more shocked at him. Pac' is a strong dude... I know him... You know what I'm sayin?... Real strong... so it was when he got shot I was more like "again" You know what I'm sayin?... He always getting shot or shot at... He gon' pull threw this one again, make a few of records about it and its gon' be over. You know, then when he died I was like 'Woah'... you know what I'm sayin... it kinda took me by suprise... even though we was going threw our drama I would never wish death on nobody! 'cause there ain't no coming back from that...
