And I wonder if they'll laugh when I'm 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 f**kin' screw up

Got introduced to the game

Got a ounce and f**kin' blew up

Choppin' rocks overnight

The n***a Biggie Smalls

Trying to turn into the black Frank White

We had to grow dreads to change our description

Two cops is on the milk box missing

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 n***a I'm too fat

I f**k 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

Celebrate my escape sold the Glock

Bought some weight

Lay back I got some money to make motherf**ker

And I wonder if they'll laugh when I'm 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

But still I'm having memories

Of high speed when the cops crashed

As I laugh pushing the gas while my Glocks blast

We was young and we was dumb but we had heart

In the dark will we survive through the bad parts

Many dreams is what I had and plenty wishes

No hesitation in extermination of these snitches

Envious b***hes 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 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 will shake the crime rate

My main man had two strikes

Slipped got arrested and flipped

He screamed thug life and emptied the clip

Got tired of running from the police

And I wonder if they'll laugh when I'm 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
