[the word 'police' is censored on the album version of this song]
One time, one time n**** one time! (Where?)
Runnin' from the police (Yeah I know what you mean)
No matter what I do, they got a n****
still runnin' from the police
(Put them m*********** Nike's on tight and get ghost y'all)
[Dramacydal]
I ain't got nuttin on my mind, but gettin in some trouble
Lickin shots to they block leavin b***** blood puddles
for some ridah delight, now we in a gunfight
I can shoot the gauge pebbles at the devils or die tonight
It's on me, but if I die bury me a m*********** G
A open casket on them b******s so they all remember me
With my vest on my chest, my tools and my piece
Thug Life m*********** gotta me runnin' from the police
n****, you know that's true
Catch a n**** like K-Dog, chillin wit a crew
Every d*** day parlay with my glass of Re
The O.J. and it's all OK
'til that f***** fake cop got to play the man
Ran me down the block with my glass in my hand
d***, I hope it don't spill
n**** chill, s*** is real c*** back my steel
Still runnin' from the police I gets no sleep
I got you peepin in my window while I'm smokin indo
But I ain't no m*********** track star, pig's got a Jeep
like Big Mouth, runnin through m***********'s backyards
So I, grabs my piece before I flee
And instead of me runnin', these b****** is runnin' from me
Lick shots hits spots off on my piece
Cause a n**** like Big Mouth is through runnin' from the police
[Interlude: Buju Banton]
I bust off! What about the time they pull me from the Bronco
lay, they tried to c*** me, but them can't gun store
When a batty bwoy do it from the mob
Ahh, pull up your pants then you screw an left squad
Look around, look around, punk police
While gwan man doesn't a come but a bad boy test
Look around, look around, punk police
Me hafta blast back, cause de blast is best
[Stretch]
Yo I was, schemin and fiendin for loots and took the crooked route
to, ghetto fame I felt the pains and now I run the game
The insane brain, cold gettin fly like a plane
on them suckers with my n**** Biggie Smalls causin ruckus
[Notorious B.I.G.]
Check it, I grew up a f***** screw-up
Got introduced to the game, got a ounce and f***** blew up
Choppin rocks overnight
The n**** Biggie Smalls tryin to turn into the black Frank White
[Stretch]
And we got the workers choppin rock, Benz by the flock
And we gettin it, the dirty cops are jealous so they sweatin it
I'm lettin off smoke, hope they don't play me for no joke
and provoke the homicide, so just let the drama slide
We keepin it real, f*** how you feel, Biggie pass the steel
Let's serve these m************ slugs as a f***** meal
[Notorious B.I.G.]
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, n**** I'm too fat
I f*** around and catch a asthma attack [heavy breathing]
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
Laid back, I got some money to make, m***********
[Interlude: Buju Banton]
Now it's war, me tryin to sell, runnin from the punk po-lice
They try to c*** me, but them can't gun store
What about they come to hold up me North
Pulled up the park, I left school and left buck
Look around, look around, punk police
Was about to blast with ya gun but you can't stop me
Look around, look around, punk police
Me haf to blast back, cause blast back best
[2Pac]
They got me runnin' from the five-oh
duckin and dodgin in my survival
The Benzo and I let off with my nine, hoe
I'm movin swifter than the next n****, no time for s**
Cause in my mind all I wonder is who's next
n****, my homey slipped and now he pays the price
He did a driveby, sixteen, now he's doin triple life
Tell me is it me or my upbringin, I spit that thug s***
n**** m********* singin, I hope you got your Timberlands
on tight, cause I ain't givin up
I'd rather duck these m************ all night
I'm runnin' through the projects, beyotch
They'll never catch me
Cause I'm loc'd and trigger happy on the, sneotch
Don't say you never heard of me, til they murder me, I'm a legend
Do Thug n***** go to heaven?
I'm rollin with the thorough heads
We gettin ghost on them hoes and yo
I got no love for the five-oh I'm runnin' from the police
[Outro: Buju Banton to fade]
One time, one time n**** one time! (Where?)
