[00:19.18]You know, I wonder if they'll laugh when I am dead
[00:24.08]Why am I fighting to live, if I'm just living to fight
[00:30.40]Why am I trying to see, when there aint nothing in sight
[00:36.15]Why I am I trying to give, when no one gives me a try
[00:41.77]Why am I dying to live, if I'm just living to die
[00:47.14]
[00:47.54]
[00:48.27]Check it, I grew up a fuckin screw up
[00:50.70]Got introduced to the game, got a ounce and fuckin blew up
[00:54.24]Choppin rocks overnight
[00:56.03]The nigga Biggie Smalls tryin ta turn into the black Frank White
[00:59.35]We had to grow dreads to change our description
[01:02.77]Two cops is on the milk box missin
[01:05.67]Show they toes you know they got stepped on
[01:08.50]A fist full of bullets a chest full of Teflon
[01:11.47]Run from the police picture that, nigga I'm too fat
[01:14.94]I fuck around and catch a asthma attack
[01:16.81]That's why I bust back, it don't phase me
[01:20.07]When he drop, take his glock, and I'm Swayze
[01:23.04]Summer break, my escape, sold the glock, bought some weight
[01:26.45]Laid back, I got some money to make, motherfucker
[01:28.75]
[01:29.07][Chorus]
[01:29.48]You know, I wonder if they'll laugh when I am dead
[01:32.57]Why am I fighting to live, if I'm just living to fight
[01:39.34]Why am I trying to see, when there aint nothing in sight

[01:57.05]And still I'm havin memories of high speeds, when the cops crashed
[02:00.38]As I laugh pushin the gas when my glocks blast
[02:03.31]We was young, and we was dumb but we had heart
[02:06.08]In the dark when we survived through the bad parts
[02:08.92]Many dreams is what I had, and many wishes
[02:12.08]No hesitation in extermination of these snitches
[02:14.93]And these bitches they still continue to per sue me
[02:17.71]A couple of movies now the whole world tryin to screw me
[02:20.57]even the cops tried to sue me
[02:23.03]So what can I do but stay true, sippin 22's a brewin
[02:26.00]now the medias tryin to test me got the press askin questions, tryin to stress me
[02:30.87]misery is all I see, thats my mind's state
[02:33.37]My history with the police is shakin' the crime rate
[02:36.49]Ma main man had 2 stikes, slipped, got arrested and flipped
[02:40.11]He screamed 'Thug Life!' and emptied the clip
[02:42.38]gots tired of runnin from the motherfuckin police
[02:43.83]
[02:44.12][chorus]
[02:44.57]You know, I wonder if they'll laugh when I am dead
[02:48.45]Why am I fighting to live, if I'm just living to fight
[02:54.07]Why am I trying to see, when there aint nothing in sight
[02:59.94]Why I am I trying to give, when no one gives me a try
[03:05.78]Why am I dying to live, if I'm just living to die
