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? [Notorious B.I.G.] Check it, I grew up, a fuckin screw-up Got introduced to the game, Got a ounce and fuckin blew up Choppin rocks overnight 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, "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 im too fat I fuck around and catch a asthma attack Thats why i bust back, it dont phase me When he drop, take his glock And im swayze Celebrate my escape Sold the glock, bought some weight Laid back, i got some money to make, Motherfucker!

Just... dont feed into it If you feed into it, its going up and escalate You know what im saying... I know about the truth... I know what people would believe that was the truth [2pac] Its on me... But still im havin memories Of high speed when the cops crashed, As i laughed Pushin the gas when my Glocks blast We was young and we was dumb but we had heart In the dark, where we survived through the bad parts Many dreams is what i had, and plenty wishes, No hesitation in extermination of these snitches And these bitches, they still continue to persue me A couple o movies, Now the whole world is tryin to screw me Even the cops tried to sue me So what can I do, but stay true, Sippin 22s of brew And now the media is trying to test me, Got the press asking questions, tryin to stress me Misery is all I see, thats my mind state My history with the police Would shake the crimerate My main man had two strikes slipped, Got arrested and flipped, He screamed "Thug Life!" and emptied the clip, Got tired of running from the police... -CHORUS- Why am I fighting to live If Im just living to fight? Why am I trying to see When there aint nothing 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? [Notorious B.I.G.] I was shocked and everything, you know what Im sayin But i wasnt more shocked of him dying, I was more shocked of him... (*ding*) Pac is a strong dude yo, i know dudes, You know what Im sayin... He is real strong, So when they was like "He got shot!", I was more like "Again?", You know what Im sayin, He always gettin shot or shot at, He gon 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 "Whoa!" You know what Im sayin, it kinda took me by... And even though we was going through our drama, I would never wish death on nobody, You know what Im sayin... Cause there anit no coming back from that!
