[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

[01:26.80]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?
[01:50.30]Why am I dying to live if I'm just living to die?(It's on me.)
[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.)
