Between you and Biggie, it was like, who's gonna, who's gonna, who rules the nigga kingdom and ***, basically, you know what I'm saying? I was like, this is like a ***in' election, it's an election and ***, you know what I'm saying? Me and Biggie's situation is smaller than that. Me and Biggie's situation is like... Check it, I grew up a ***in' screw-up, got introduced to the game, got an ounce of ***in' blunt 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 cocks is on the milk box, miss it Showed they cones, you know they got stepped on, a fist full of bullets, a chest full of tampon Run from the police, picture that, nigga, I'm too fat, I *** around and catch an asthma attack That's why I bust back, it don't faze me, when he drop, take his Glock and I'm swazy Celebrate my escape, solar block, bought some weight, lay back, I got some money to make, mother***er Now I wonder if they'll ever admit Why am I wasting it on just living to fight? Why am I trying to live when there ain't nothing inside? Why am I trying to give when no one gives me a try? Why am I dying to live if I'm living to die? But still I'm having memories of high speeds when the cops crash As I laugh, pushing the gas when my Glock's 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, envious bitches They still continue to pursue me, a couple of movies Now the whole world's trying to screw me, even the cops tried to sue me So what can I do but stay true, sipping 22's of brew And now the media is trying to test me, got the press asking questions, trying to stress me Misery is all I see, that's my mind state My history with the police to shake the crime rate My main man had two strikes slip, got arrested and flipped He screamed thug life and emptied the clip, got tired of running from the police Why am I trying to live when there ain't nothing inside? Why am I trying to live when there ain't nothing inside? Why am I trying to live when no one gives me a drug? Why am I dying to live and I'm just living to die? He real strong, so when they was like, he got shot, I was just more like, again? You know what I'm saying, he always getting shot, one shot at He gon' pull through this one again, make a few records about it And it's gon' be over, you know what I'm saying But when he died, I was just like, woah You know what I'm saying, it kinda took me by the hood And even though we was going through our trauma, I would never wish death on nobody You know what I'm saying, cause ain't no coming back from that
