2pac ft Notorious BIG (Biggie) - Runnin'
Sway-Between you and Biggie, it was like whos gone whos gone who rules the the nigga kingdom and shit basically, you know what im sayin? i was like this is like a fuckin election
[it is that]
its an election and shit
[it is that]
me and Biggies situation is smaller than that,
me and Biggies situation is like...
sirens central... we got a black male shot...tupac shakur was shot several times in the chest
(tupac background)while im in jail, strangers is tellin me,
you dont know?
Biggie home boy shot you
but they braggin, and thats why what im doing
I know what im doing,
Im destroying them
Im destroying them
chorus
now i wonder if they'll laugh when im dead
why am i fighting to live, if im just living to fight?
why am I trying to see when there aint nothin in sight?
why am i trying to give when no one gives me a try?
why am i dying to live, if im just living to die?
Biggie- check it
i grew up a fuckin screw up,
got introduced to the game, got an ounce and fuckin blew up, c
hoppin rocks over night, the nigga Biggie smalls tryin to turn into the black frank white,
we had to grow dreads to change our description, two cops is on the milk box missin,
showed there toes and you know they got stepped on,
a fist full of bullets a chest full of teflon,
run from the police picture that, nigga im to fat, ill fuck around and catch an asthma attack,
thats why i bust back, it dont fase me, when he drop, take his glock and im swayze,
celebrate my escape sold the glock, bought some weight, lay back i got some money to make, motha fucka
[Biggie background]- tupac should live, you know what im saying? just dont feed into it, if you feed into it, it's go' do nothing but escalate. you know what im saying? i know it wasn't true, i know what what he was blamin' me for wasn't true
chorus
now i wonder if they'll laugh when im dead
why am i fighting to live, if im just living to fight?
why am I trying to see when there aint nothin in sight?
why am i trying to give when no one gives me a try?
why am i dying to live, if im just living to die?
Tupac- its on me,
but still im havin memories of high speeds when the cops crash,
as i laugh pushin the gas when my glocks blast,
we was young, and we was dumb but we had heart,
in the dark would we survive through the bad parts?
many dreams is what i had, and plenty wishes,
no hesitation in the extirmination of these snitches,
envious bitches, they still continue to pursue me,
a couple of movies now the whole worlds tryin to screw me,
even the cops tried to sue me,
so what can i do? but say true, sippin' 22's of brew
and now the medias tryin to test me, got the press askin questions tryin to stress me,
misery is all i see thats my minds state,
my history with the police will shake the crime rate,
my main man had two strikes, slipped got arrested and flipped, screamed "THUG LIFE!" and emptied the clip, got tired of runnin' from the police
chorus
i wonder if they'll laugh when im dead
why am i fighting to live, if im just living to fight?
why am I trying to see when there aint nothin in sight?
why am i trying to give when no one gives me a try?
why am i dying to live, if im just living to die?
Biggie-i was more shocked and everything you know what im sayin, but i wasnt more shocked of him
dying, i was more shocked of him... Pac is a strong dude yo, a known dude, you know what im saying, he was real strong, so when he got shot i was more like again? you know what im saying he always getting shot or shot at, he gonna pull through this one again, make a few records about it and its gonna be over, you know what im sayin? but when he when he died i was like, woah, you know what im sayin, it kinda took me by... i mean even though we was goin through our drama, i would never wish death upon no body cause no what im sayin cuz there aint no comin back from death.
