(Man interviewing 2pac)
Between you and Biggie was like who gon who gon who rules the the entertainment industry basically i was like this is like a f*ckin
ellection you know what im sayin
(2pac talking) it is it is that me and biggie situation was smaller than that me and biggie situation was like

(chorus)
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?

(B.I.G verse 1)
Check it, i grew up a f*cking screw up
got introdused to the game got an ounce and f*cking blew up
choping rocks over night
the n*gga Biggie Smalls trying to turn into black Frank White
we had a codedress to change our description
two cops is on the milkbox missing
showed they codes know they got stepped on
a fist full of bullets a chest full of teflon
run from the police picture that
n*gga im too fat
i f*ck around and catch an asthma attack
thats why i bust back and dont face me
when he drop take his glock and im swayze
celebrate my escape
sold a glock
bust some weight
lay back i got some money to make
madaf*cka

(chorus)
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?

(2pac verse 2)
it's on me
but still im having memories of high speed
when the cops crash
as i laugh pushing the gas
while my glock 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*tches they still continue to purse me
a couple movies now the hole worlds trying to screw me
even the cops trying to sue
so what can i do
but stay true
sippin twenty two's of brew
and now the media is trying to test me
got the prest asking question
trying to stress me
missery is all i see
that my mind state
my history with the police's shake the crime rate
my main man had two strikes
slip got arrested and flipped
he sreamed THUG LIFE and empty a clip
got shot runnin from the police

(chorus)
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?

(biggie talking)
I was
shocked at everything

but even though we was going thru our drama
i will never wish death on nobody
