2pac Runnin' (Dying To Live) (feat. The Notorious B.I.G.) Lyrics

Sway (MTV interviewer) speaking]
Between you and Biggie it was like,
Who's gon', who's gonna...
Who rules the... the... the "n____ kingdom" and s___, basically
You know what I'm sayin'...
I was like, this is like a f___in' election,
it's an election and s___,
You know what I'm saying?

[2Pac speaking]
It is that... it is that!
Me and Biggie situation is smaller than that
Me and Biggie situation is like...

[Ambulance radio]
Central, we got a black male shot - in critical condition...

[Reporter]
Tupac Shakur was shot seven times in the chest,

[2Pac speaking]
While I'm in jail, strangers is tellin' me:
"You don't know? Biggie home boy shot you!
And they bragging!"
And that's why what I'm doing... I know what I'm doin',
I'm destroying them. I'm DESTROYING them...

[Chorus]
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 aint nothing in sight
Why I 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

[Notorious B.I.G.]
Check it, I grew up a f___in screw up
Got introduced to the game, got a ounce and f___in blew up
Choppin rocks overnight
The n____ 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, n____ I'm too fat
I f___ 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
Celebrate my escape, sold the glock, bought some weight
Laid back, I got some money to make, m_________er

[2Pac]
Its on Me
And 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 b____es they still continue to pursue 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 medias tryin to test me got the press askin questions, tryin to stress me
misery is all I see, thats my mind's state
My history with the police is check the crime rate
Ma main man had 2 strikes, slipped, got arrested and flipped
He screamed 'Thug Life!' and emptied the clip
gots tired of runnin from the police

[chorus]
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 aint nothing in sight
Why I 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

[Biggie]
I was shocked at everything! Ya know what im sayin. I wasn't more shocked at him dying.
I was more shocked at him. Pac' is a strong dude... I know him... You know what I'm sayin?...
Real strong... so it was when he got shot I was more like "again". You know what I'm sayin?...
He always gettin shot or shot at... He gon' pull threw this one again, make a few of records about it and its gon be over..
You know, then when he died I was like 'Woah'... you know what I'm sayin...
it kinda took me by suprise... even though we was going threw our drama I would NEVER
wish death on nobody! 'cause there ain't no comin back from death [echo]...

Scorpion Rulez !!!
