2Pac - Runnin

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 fuckin' screw up Got introduced to the game, got a ounce and fuckin' blew up Choppin' rocks overnight The nigga Biggie Smalls tryin' ta turn into the black Frank White We had to grow dreads to change our description Two cops is on the milk box missin' 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 Summer break, 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? It's so mean But still I'm havin' memories of high speeds, when the cops crashed As I laugh pushin' 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 per sue me A couple of movies now the whole world tryin' to screw me Even the cops tried to sue me So what can I do but stay true, sippin' 22's a brewin' Now the media's tryin' to test me got the press askin' questions Tryin' to stress me Misery is all I see, that's 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 Got tired of runnin' from the motherfuckin' 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?
