Song lyrics
Between you and Biggie
was like who's gone who's gone who who rules the
The nigga kingdom and shit, basically
you know what I am saying shit
I was like this is like a fuckin election
[It is that]
It is an election...
[It is that]
You know what I'm sayin
Me and Biggie situation is smaller than that
Me and Biggie situation is like

[Sirens]
Metro...we got a black male shot...tupac shakur was shot seven times

[Chorus]
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 aint nothing insight
Why I am I trying to give, when no one gives me a try
[I am destroyin them...]
Why am I dying to live, if I'm just living to die
I'm destroying them 
I'm destroying them 

[Notorious B.I.G.]
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, [gun shot] 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, motherfucker

[Chorus]
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 aint nothing insight
Why I am I trying to give, when no one gives me a try
[I am destroyin them...]
Why am I dying to live, if I'm just living to die
I am destroyin them...

[2Pac]
It's on me... 

But still I'm havin, memories of high speeds, 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 survive through the bad parts?
Many dreams is what I had, and plenty wishes
No hesitation in extermination of these snitches
Envious bitches they still continue to pursue 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 of brew 
and now the medias tryin to test me got the press askin questions, tryin to stress me
misery is all I see, thats my mind's state
My history with the police is shake the crime rate
Ma main man had 2 strikes, slipped, got arrested and flipped
He screamed 'Thug Life!' and emptied a clip
gots tired of runnin from the police

[chorus]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 aint nothing insight
Why I am I trying to give, when no one gives me a try
[I am destroyin them...]
Why am I dying to live, if I'm just living to die
I am destroyin them...

I wasnt more shocked or anything ya know what im saying
I wasnt more shocked of him dying to hear him 
Pac is a strong dude you know I know dude I mean real strong 
so when they said he got shot I was just more like again? 
He always gets shot or shot at, 
and he gonna pull through this one again make a few records about it
But when he died I was like Whoa, kinda took me by
Even while we was goin through our trauma I didnt wish death on nobody 
because there aint no comin back for them

i love this song i think biggie and pac were even in there skills
i just gotta say man ppl sayin pac alive n i dunno whether i should believe it i mean both theorys work
1) the 2 biggest murders in rap history still havent been solved, he keep comin out with new shit, that can be explained tho cause artists r always puttin shit in the vault

2) y would he fake his death at the height of all his success and if he really is still alive hes a fuckin legend man somebody would of had to of seen him and if he got plastic surgery or w/e then the doctor has to know an thats some MAJOOOR cash right there that would be the biggest story EVER!!!!

somebody comment on this i wanna get other ppls perspectives on this

Hey MostHated...whatever you fuckin' ignorant muthafucka, how da fuck can you say that 2pac is wack?????? You must be some dumb-ass nigga to say that.... If you like Biggie more that's fine, but don't come here and say that 2pac (who actually is the best rapper of all time) is wack! He deserves respect and if you ain't smart enough to recognize it than fuck you!!! At least he didn't ride with fake-ass niggas like P. Diddy and that bitch Lil' Kim!!
Tupac R.I.P..... you'll live on in the hearts of true hip-hop lovers!

Probably the best tupac song ever!
Just loooovvveee it!
Rules!

Why am I fighting to live, If I`m just living to fight.
Why am I trying to see, when there ain`t nothing insight?
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!

Hug Norwegian fan
REST IN PEASE!

Hey Kirsten_a, do you even know Tupac's songs at all to say that this is probably his best song ever?? You surely don't know what you're talking about.... What about, "Changes", "Keep Ya Head Up", "Dear Mama", "All Eyez On Me", and so on, and so on...? Oh, and it's Rest In Peace, not Rest In Pease....

Pac's and biggies death were horrible but this is a song with both of them. This is my all time favorite song. I never in my life heard one song and bought a album a day after but this was a different story. Heard it the next day bought the album. Best song ever. No question.

BIGGY AND TUPAC ARE THE RULERS OF RAP...THE DREADFUL DAYS OF 1996 AND 1997 WHEN THEY DIED WILL ALWAYS STAY IN MY MIND FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE....THEY ARE THE NIGGAZ OF THE RAP KINGDOM...R.I.P TO THEM BOTH. (I ALSO HAD THE PLEASURE OF MEETING THEM BOTH, SO AT LEAST I GOT TO SEE THEM BEFORE THEY WERE HORRIBLY MURDERED)

all u goth twats and other people that don't like rap should respect what these two legends have done. they are the best rappers that i have heard...forget Eminem ( as good as he is ), Jay-Z, Dr.Dre...yeah they all legends but Pac and Big are the rulers...this song made it for me...it rules the rap kingdom...whenever i freestyle i always have to put this tune in my performances sum where....as everyone respects it in my club...and if u ever in my crib and u don't respect it get the fuck out.

Always praying for ya Tupac and Biggy. r.i.p...let nuffin disturb ya!!!
