I don't wanna live no mo' 
Sometimes I hear death knockin at my front do' 
I'm livin everyday like a hustle, another [bad word] to juggle; 
another day, another [bad word] 

[Notorious B.I.G.] 
I know how it feel to wake up [bad word] up 
Pockets broke as [bad word]  another rock to sell 
People look at you like youse the user 
Selling [bad word] to all the losers, mad 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 wish, you wasn't livin so devilish, [bad word] 
I remember I was just like you 
Smokin blunts with my crew, flippin over 62's 
Cause G-E-D, wasn't B-I-
I got P-A-I-D, that's why my moms hate me 
She was forced to kick me out, no 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 Papi, to 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 assault, that I caught, in Bridgeport, New York 
Catch me if you can like the Gingerbread Man 
You better have your gat in hand, cause man 
 [bad word]

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-Tecs, he 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 [bad word] 
Two pounds of hash in the stash 
I wait for hon to make some quick cash 
I told her she could be Lieutenant, [bad word] got gassed 
At last, I'm literally loungin black 
Sittin back, countin 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 smoked, [bad word] was spread 
Last I heard I was dead with six to the head 
Then I got the phone call, it couldn't hit me harder 
We got infiltrated, like Nino at the Carter 
Heard Tec got murdered in a town I never heard of 
by some [bad word] named Alberta over nickel-plated burners 
And my [bad word] swear to God she won't snitch 
I told her when she hit the bricks I'll make the hooker rich 
Conspiracy, she'll be home in three 
Until then I looks out for the whole family 
[bad word] G, that's me, blowing like a bubble; 
in the everyday [bad word] 
 [bad word] 

[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 binges, seein syringes 
in the veins; hard to explain, how I maintain 
The crack smoke make my brain feel so strange 
Breakin days on the set, no sweat  [bad word] off Moet, can't bag yet because it's still wet 
But when that dry, baggin 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 game, D's knew my first name 
Should I quit? [bad word] no! Even though they had me scared 
Yo they got a eight, I gotta teck with air holes.. 
..and that's just how the [bad word] go in the [bad word] [bad word]
