2Pac Ft. Biggie Runnin' (Produced By Eminem) Lyrics

[Interviewer]
Between you and Biggie, it was like,
Who's gon', who's gon'..
Who rules the the n____ kingdom and s___, basically
You know what I'm sayin'...
I was like, this is like a f___ing election!
It is an election and s___,
You know what I'm saying?

[2pac]
It is that, It is that!
Me and Biggie's situation is smarter than that,
Me and Biggie's situation is like...

[Ambulance radio]
Central, we got a black male shot...

[Singing]
You know I wonder if they'll laugh when I am dead...

[News reporter]
Tupac Shakur got shot 7 times...

[2pac background]
while im in jail, strangers is tellin me,
you dont know?
Biggie knows who shot you
they braggin, and thats why what im doing
I know what im doing,
Im destroying them

Im destroying them

CHORUS:
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?

[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 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 po-lice, 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!

[Biggie background]
Tupac should live, you know what im saying? just dont feed into it, to feed into it is to go another way, you know what im saying? i know about the truth, i know what people write and read about the truth

You know I wonder if they'll laugh when I am dead...
-CHORUS-
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?
(OVER LAPPING)
[Notorious B.I.G.]
Tupac's still dead, you know what i'm saying...
Just... don't feed into it
If you feed into it, it's going up and escalate
You know what i'm saying...
I know about the truth...
I know what people would believe that was the truth

[2pac]
It's on me...
But still I'm 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 b____es, 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 22's 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 crime rate
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...

[Notorious B.I.G.]
I was shocked and everything, you know what I'm sayin'
But I wasn't more shocked of .... him dying,
I was more shocked of him... (*ding*)
Pac is a strong dude yo, I know dudes,
You know what I'm sayin'...
He is real strong,
So when they was like He got shot!,
I was more like Again?,
You know what I'm sayin',
He always gettin' shot or shot at,
He gon' pull through this one again,
Make a few records about it,
And it's gonna be over, you know what I'm sayin'?
But when he, when he died, I was just like Whoa!
You know what I'm 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 I'm sayin'...
Cause there ain't no coming back from that!
