[00:17.253]You  know,I  wonder  if  they'll  laugh  when  I  am  dead
[00:21.625]Why  am  I  fighting  to  live,if  I'm  just  living  to  fight
[00:29.438]Why  am  I  trying  to  see,when  there  aint  nothing  in  sight
[00:34.500]Why  I  am  I  trying  to  give,when  no  one  gives  me  a  try

[00:53.624]Choppin  rocks  overnight
[00:54.311]The  nigga  Biggie  Smalls  tryin  ta  turn  into  the  black  Frank  White
[00:58.624]We  had  to  grow  dreads  to  change  our  description
[01:01.748]Two  cops  is  on  the  milk  box  missin
[01:05.61]Show  they  toes  you  know  they  got  stepped  on
[01:07.811]A  fist  full  of  bullets  a  chest  full  of  Teflon
[01:10.310]Run  from  the  police  picture  that,nigga  I'm  too  fat
[01:13.622]I  fuck  around  and  catch  a  asthma  attack
[01:16.310]That's  why  I  bust  back,it  don't  phase  me
[01:19.747]When  he  drop,take  his  glock,and  I'm  Swayze

[01:25.684]Laid  back,I  got  some  money  to  make,motherfucker
[01:28.123]Chorus]
[01:29.582]You  know,I  wonder  if  they'll  laugh  when  I  am  dead
[01:32.59]Why  am  I  fighting  to  live,if  I'm  just  living  to  fight
[01:38.57]Why  am  I  trying  to  see,when  there  aint  nothing  in  sight

[01:53.932]Tupac]
[01:54.435]And  still  I'm  havin  memories  of  high  speeds,when  the  cops  crashed
[01:59.557]As  I  laugh  pushin  the  gas  when  my  glocks  blast
[02:02.619]We  was  young,and  we  was  dumb  but  we  had  heart
[02:05.994]In  the  dark  when  we  survived  through  the  bad  parts
[02:08.744]Many  dreams  is  what  I  had,and  many  wishes
[02:11.244]No  hesitation  in  extermination  of  these  snitches
[02:13.681]And  these  bitches  they  still  continue  to  per  sue  me
[02:17.431]A  couple  of  movies  now  the  whole  world  tryin  to  screw  me

[02:22.306]So  what  can  I  do  but  stay  true,sippin 22's  a  brewin
[02:25.305]now  the  medias  tryin  to  test  me  got  the  press  askin  questions,tryin  to  stress  me
[02:30.555]misery  is  all  I  see,thats  my  mind's  state
[02:33.305]My  history  with  the  police  is  shakin'the  crime  rate
[02:36.118]Ma  main  man  had 2stikes,slipped,got  arrested  and  flipped
[02:39.810]He  screamed 'Thug  Life!'and  emptied  the  clip
[02:41.930]gots  tired  of  runnin  from  the  motherfuckin  police
[02:43.930]Chorus]
[02:44.242]You  know,I  wonder  if  they'll  laugh  when  I  am  dead
[02:47.242]Why  am  I  fighting  to  live,if  I'm  just  living  to  fight
[02:52.991]Why  am  I  trying  to  see,when  there  aint  nothing  in  sight
[02:59.553]Why  I  am  I  trying  to  give,when  no  one  gives  me  a  try
