Chorus: Notorious B.I.G. (repeat 2X)

I don t wanna live no mo
Sometimes I hear death knockin at my front do
I m livin everyday like a hustleanother drug to juggle;
another dayanother struggle

[Notorious B.I.G.]
I know how it feel to wake up fucked up
Pockets broke as hellanother rock to sell
People look at you like youse the user
Selling drugs to all the losersmad buddha abuser
But they don t know about your stress-filled day
Baby on the way mad bills to pay
That s why you drink Tanqueray; so you can reminisce
and wishyou wasn t livin so devilishssshit
I remember I was just like you
Smokin blunts with my crewflippin over 62 s
Cause G-E-Dwasn t B-I-G
I got P-A-I-Dthat s why my moms hate me
She was forced to kick me outno doubt
Then I figured out licks went for twenty down South
Packed up my tools for my raw power move
Glock nineteen for casket and flower moves
for chumps tryin to stop my flow
And what they don t know will show on the autopsy
Went to see Papito cop me a brick
Asked for some consignment and he wasn t tryin to hear it
Smoking mad Newports cause I m due in court
for an assaultthat I caughtin BridgeportNew York
Catch me if you can like the Gingerbread Man
You better have your gat in handcause man

Chorus

[Notorious B.I.G.]
I had the master plan
I m in the caravan on my way to Maryland
with my man Two-Tecs to take over this projects
They call him Two-Tecshe tote two tecs
And when he start to bust he like to ask"Who s next?"
I got my honey on the Amtrak
with the crack in the crack of her ass
Two pounds of hash in the stash
I wait for hon to make some quick cash
I told her she could be Lieutenantbitch got gassed
At lastI m literally loungin black
Sittin backcountin double digit thousand stacks
Had to re-up; see what s up with my peeps
Toyota Deal-a-Thon had it cheap on the Jeeps
See who got smokedwhat rumors was spread
Last I heard I was dead with six to the head
Then I got the phone callit couldn t hit me harder
We got infiltratedlike Nino at the Carter
Heard Tec got murdered in a town I never heard of
by some bitch named Alberta over nickel-plated burners
And my bitch swear to God she won t snitch
I told her when she hit the bricks I ll make the hooker rich
Conspiracyshe ll be home in three
Until then I looks out for the whole family
A true Gthat s meblowing like a bubble;
in the everyday struggle

Chorus

[Notorious B.I.G.]
I m seeing body after body and our mayor Guiliani
ain t tryin to see no black man turn to John Gotti
My daughter use a potty so she s older now
Educated street knowledge I ma mold er now
Trick a little dough buyin young girls fringes
Dealin with the dope fiend bingesseein syringes
in the veins; hard to explainhow I maintain
The crack smoke make my brain feel so strange
Breakin days on the setno sweat
Drunk off Moetcan t bag yet because it s still wet
But when that drybaggin five at a time
I can clock about nine on the check cashin line
I had the first and the third; rehearse that s my word
Thick in the gameD s knew my first name
Should I quit? Shit no! Even though they had me scared
Yo they got a eightI gotta teck with air holes..
..and that s just how the shit go in the struggle motherfucker

[Puff] Hah.. c mon.. what you say?
