[Chorus]
You know I wonder if they laugh when I am dead
Why am I fightin' to live if I'm just livin' to fight?
Why am I tryin' to see when there ain't nothin' in sight?
Why am I tryin' to give when no-one gives me a try?
Why am I dyin' to live if I'm just livin' to die?

[Verse 1 - The Notorious B.I.G.]
Check it!
I grew up the fuckin' screw-up
Got introduced to the game, got a ounce and fuckin' blew up
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 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
Runnin' 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's dropped, take his glock and I'm Swayze
Celebrate my escape, sold the glock, bought some weight
Laid back, I got some money to make - motherfucker!

[Chorus]
You know I wonder if they laugh when I am dead
Why am I fightin' to live if I'm just livin' to fight?
Why am I tryin' to see when there ain't nothin' in sight?
Why am I tryin' to give when no-one gives me a try?
Why am I dyin' to live if I'm just livin' to die?

[Verse 2 - 2Pac]
It's on me
But still I'm havin'...
Memories of high speed when the cops crash
As I laugh, pushin' the gas while my glocks blast
We was young and we was dumb but we had heart
In the dark, will we survived through the bad paths?
Many dreams is what I had and plenty wishes
No hesitation in extermination of these snitches
Envious bitches, they still continue to persue me
A couple of movies now the whole world's tryin' to screw me
Even the cops've tried to sue me, so what can I do
But stay true, sippin' 22s and brew
And now media is tryin' to test me
Got the press askin' questions, tryin' to stress me
Misery is all I see, that's my mind state
My history with the police has shaked the crime rate
My main man had two 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 laugh when I am dead
Why am I fightin' to live if I'm just livin' to fight?
Why am I tryin' to see when there ain't nothin' in sight?
Why am I tryin' to give when no-one gives me a try?
Why am I dyin' to live if I'm just livin' to die?
