Runnin (Dying To Live)
Tupac

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?
