| [00:00.50] | Between you and Biggie it was like, who's going to rule the |
| [00:06.80] | Nigga kingdom and shit, basically, know what I'm saying? |
| [00:09.18] | I was like, this is like a ****ing election |
| [00:12.25] | It is that |
| [00:13.17] | (You know what I am saying) |
| [00:14.56] | Me and Biggie's situation is smaller than that, it's like… |
| [00:18.43] | |
| [00:18.78] | You know, I wonder if they'll laugh when I'm dead? |
| [00:24.59] | Why am I fighting to live if I'm just living to fight? |
| [00:30.21] | (You don't know) |
| [00:31.00] | Why am I trying to see when there ain't nothing in sight? |
| [00:36.72] | Why am I trying to give when no one gives me a try? |
| [00:42.00] | Why am I dying to live if I'm just living to die? |
| [00:47.00] | |
| [00:47.30] | The Notorious B.I.G. |
| [00:48.06] | Check it, I grew up a ****in' screw-up |
| [00:51.00] | Got introduced to the game, got a ounce and ****in' blew up |
| [00:54.32] | Choppin' rocks overnight. The nigga Biggie Smalls trying to turn into the black Frank White |
| [01:00.22] | We had to grow dreads to change our description |
| [01:03.37] | Two cops is on the milk box missin' |
| [01:06.29] | Show they toes, you know they got stepped on |
| [01:09.04] | A fistful of bullets, a chest full of Teflon |
| [01:12.09] | Runnin' from the police, picture that |
| [01:14.00] | Nigga, I'm too fat, I **** around and catch a asthma attack |
| [01:17.67] | That's why I bust back, it don't phase me |
| [01:20.98] | When he drop, take his Glock, and I'm Swayze |
| [01:23.70] | celebrate my escape, sold the Glock, bought some weight |
| [01:26.80] | Lay back, I got some money to make, mother****er |
| [01:29.42] | |
| [01:29.70] | And I wonder if they'll laugh when I'm dead? |
| [01:33.66] | Why am I fighting to live if I'm just living to fight? |
| [01:40.14] | Why am I trying to see when there ain't nothing in sight? |
| [01:45.99] | Why am I trying to give when no one gives me a try? |

| [01:57.08] | |
| [01:57.20] | 2Pac |
| [01:57.67] | But still I'm having memories of high speed when the cops crashed |
| [02:01.34] | As I laugh, pushing the gas while my Glocks blast |
| [02:04.02] | We was young and we was dumb, but we had heart |
| [02:07.00] | In the dark, will we survive through the bad parts? |
| [02:09.70] | Many dreams is what I had, and plenty wishes |
| [02:12.78] | No hesitation in extermination of these snitches |
| [02:15.80] | Envious bitches, they still continue to pursue me |
| [02:18.56] | A couple of movies, now the whole world's tryna to screw me |
| [02:21.00] | Even the cops tried to sue me, so what can I do? |
| [02:24.20] | But stay true, sippin' 22's of brew |
| [02:26.58] | And now media is trying to test me |
| [02:28.64] | Got the press asking questions, trying to stress me |
| [02:31.36] | Misery is all I see, that's my mind state |
| [02:34.12] | My history with the police will shake the crime rate |
| [02:37.30] | My main man had two strikes, slipped, got arrested and flipped |
| [02:40.81] | He screamed "Thug Life!" and emptied the clip |
| [02:43.32] | Got tired of runnin' from the police |
| [02:44.88] | |
| [02:45.00] | And I wonder if they'll laugh when I'm dead? |
| [02:49.21] | Why am I fighting to live if I'm just living to fight? |
| [02:55.49] | Why am I trying to see when there ain't nothing in sight? |
| [03:01.01] | Why am I trying to give when no one gives me a try?(They wanted a new regime.) |
| [03:06.53] | Why am I dying to live if I'm just living to die?(And my regime includes East coast, includes West coast.) |
