Runnin'
2Pac Biggie & Outlawz Lyrics

If you a bad boy then you die
If you live a dangerous lifestyle, you will face the consequences and potentially lose your life

Westside outlawz when we ride, get me high
When we, the Outlawz, ride through the Westside, it gives us a sense of freedom and exhilaration

They f***ed up when they rob me
They made a grave mistake when they attempted to steal from me

Put another contract on Mobb Deep
Seek retaliation by placing a new contract on Mobb Deep, indicating the intention to harm or eliminate them

I focus my locus thought on my enemies
I concentrate all my thoughts and energy on my enemies

Sip off the Hennessey it's necessary to finish me
Drinking Hennessey is a necessary action for me to reach my full potential and overcome any obstacles

I'm in this social immortal when it comes to the phone book
In the context of the criminal underworld, my name holds power and respect, making me seemingly immortal in that social sphere

Jersey them n****s they think I'm crazy and creepy
People from New Jersey view me as unstable and intimidating

And as we speak they tryin' to find me a therapist
Authorities are currently attempting to locate a therapist for me, suggesting that they believe I need mental help

Rapid fire I clap and hire till you die a liar
I rapidly shoot my gun, relentlessly pursuing and exposing individuals who lie until they meet their demise

Strap in back to the corners droppin' on to spin the tires
I equip myself with firearms and position myself in strategic locations to engage in criminal activities and quickly escape

My man define ya 357 anaconda
My associate carries a powerful .357 Magnum revolver, referred to as an 'anaconda'

This enough to bring your mama then turn around and hear the drama
The potential danger and chaos caused by this weapon is significant enough to make your mother concerned, and the aftermath would be filled with turmoil and conflict

Havoc I gotta have it steady blastin' at Prodigy
I, known as Havoc, need to continuously engage in acts of violence and aggression towards a person named Prodigy

Mobb 6 feet deep you try to blast me till death
If members of Mobb Deep attempt to shoot and kill me, they will meet their own demise and be buried six feet under

And I suppose you got the dopest moves like Chucky on fresh
I assume you possess exceptional skills and style, comparable to the character Chucky from the movie 'Child's Play'

You know the verdict, who what when why he died murdered
You are aware of the outcome and reasons behind his death, which was a result of murder

Get your physical diverted and your vision deserted
Your physical body will be diverted from its course, and your perspective will be abandoned or lost

Ever since mama got f***ed and papa ducked out
Since my mother was mistreated and my father abandoned us

Look at us murderous thugs showin' less love in the drug house
Observing how we, violent criminals, display less affection and care in the environment filled with drug-related activities

Similar to savage it's a wonder we manage
Being likened to savages, it is astonishing that we are able to handle or cope with our lifestyle

Bring chaos causin' damage on our quest for cabbage
In our pursuit of money and wealth ('cabbage'), we create chaos and inflict harm

They ask my style similar to cash we flaunt it
People inquire about my fashion and overall demeanor, which is comparable to how we display and show off money

Most wanted by the population murdered you for it
We are highly sought after by the general public, who are willing to kill for the same status and luxury

Exploit your weakness revenge flow deep without release
We take advantage of your vulnerabilities and seek revenge relentlessly, with a continuous flow of hatred and aggression

Criminal orders across the waters bringin' the war to the streets
We receive instructions or commands from criminal organizations abroad, and we carry out their orders, bringing the conflict and violence to the streets

Why fear me, fear the s*** I speak
Instead of fearing me personally, you should fear the dangerous and provocative messages I express

Once this s*** drop it's heard on every f***in' street
Once this song is released, it will be heard and recognized in every neighborhood and street

Like the sound of police who run the street really
Similar to the presence and dominance of police officers in the streets, our influence and reputation cannot be denied

And every hood let you grow
In every neighborhood, people allow and even support your growth and rise to power

From the hustlaz up at Harlem to the shot callers in O'
From the hustlers and entrepreneurs in Harlem to the individuals with significant authority and influence in Oakland

And though, Congress, don't want us to progress our step
Even though Congress and other forms of authority try to hinder our progress and advancement, we continue moving forward

My homie buried at an early age hustled to death
My close friend was buried at a young age, as he lived a life consumed by his pursuit of money and success

His last breath, a lesson I posses like jewels
The final moments of his life serve as a valuable lesson that I hold onto and cherish, much like precious jewels

Stay thugged out keep it movin'
Continue living a life involved in criminal activities and maintaining a tough attitude while staying active and progressing forward

Halfway thugs are bugged when we stalk the streets
Individuals who are only partially involved in criminal activities feel intimidated and uneasy when we roam the streets

Sort of like thugs and narcotics when we walk the streets
Our presence on the streets is reminiscent of the combination of criminals and the drug trade, instilling fear and chaos

You speak the big p**** throw down and drop it
You claim to possess a large amount of courage, but when faced with a dangerous situation, you quickly surrender and give up

Hit you with 6 shots lay the law down and throw the shells in my pocket
I will shoot you six times, asserting my dominance and authority, then casually discard the spent bullet casings

Getting mine with nine coked extorting
I acquire my profits and wealth through the use and distribution of cocaine, often using extortion as a means of gaining control

Block shots with 22's with my socks with the butt hangin' out the chalk
I engage in gunfights, using small caliber handguns like .22s, and tuck them into my socks, allowing the grip to stick out for easy access

You never seen time I travel across the mean crime
I have never served a prison sentence, as I constantly move between different criminal activities

My rolls like a million dollar bills folded in green slime
My lifestyle and possessions resemble a stack of million-dollar bills, but they are tainted with corruption and illegal activities

With my foes erased drink my henney straight no chasin'
Once I eliminate my enemies, I celebrate by drinking straight Hennessy without any mixers

Catch my body like Haitian 5 minutes from the station
I commit acts of violence resulting in someone's death and dispose of their body within five minutes of leaving the crime scene, just as a Haitian would

Hit the hole like Allen Iverson with confidence
I swiftly evade difficult situations, akin to Allen Iverson maneuvering past defenders on the basketball court with unwavering confidence

The bigger prick don't mean no evidence or proof the I was present
Having a higher social status or greater reputation does not equate to having evidence or proof of my involvement in a particular situation

At the scene of the crime around 10 n****s bleed
When I am present at a crime scene, approximately ten individuals suffer injury and bloodshed

After they made this punk fag motherf***er bleed
Following their actions that caused harm to a particular individual, who I view as weak and inferior

All the money was bloody as s***, y'all n****s shoulda seen it
The money acquired from our criminal activities is tainted with blood, and you all should witness the extent of our brutality

Bust a cap and freak with, bow down on your knees s***
We shoot our firearms and engage in acts of aggression, forcing others to submit and beg for mercy

The glock to your head n****, don't let inside action
I hold a Glock handgun to your head, warning you not to let any inside information or secrets be revealed

Hit innocent by-standers when he blasted, shot f***in' backwards
When he fired his weapon, he unintentionally hit innocent bystanders due to his careless and reckless shooting

Little homies puttin' work for stripes
Younger individuals in our group are actively engaging in criminal activities as a means of gaining respect and recognition

But is it worth your life a g-rides runnin' red lights
However, is the pursuit of reputation and status worth risking your life, as we engage in high-speed car chases, disregarding traffic signals?

I wish somebody would have t old me then
I wish someone would have provided me with guidance and information in the past, to prevent the mistakes I have made

Since I'm an outlaw like Napolean ain't no cell they can hold me in
Because I live outside the boundaries of the law, similar to Napolean Bonaparte, no prison cell can truly confine me

Caucasian crazy like Arabians
My level of madness and unpredictability is comparable to that of Caucasians and Arabians, known for their intense nature

Hold this spot like some n****s fade me in having the scene chase me
I establish a dominant position and hold my ground, commanding respect, much like individuals who feature prominently in popular culture or entertainment

When they want the product n**** I got the smoke
When individuals are searching for drugs, I am the one who possesses and provides them with the desired substances

Got the weed and the coke what you need what you want
I have both marijuana and cocaine, catering to the preferences and desires of those seeking such substances

What you working with I'm some immortal s***
What resources or assets do you possess? Meanwhile, I consider myself invincible and everlasting in this lifestyle

Outlawz we straight hurtin' s*** use artillery to murder with
As Outlawz, we cause significant harm and utilize powerful weapons and artillery for the purpose of killing

Put then on the box gangsta party like Pac
Place them in a vulnerable position and force them to participate in a gangsta party, reminiscent of Tupac Shakur's infamous song

Life's hard from the ox me and my n****s on top
Life is challenging, but despite that, my crew and I remain in a position of power and dominance

I know the law hate me dearly, comin' for me
I am well aware that the authorities hold a strong dislike towards me and are actively pursuing my capture

We outlaws, thugged out, n****s runnin' on E
We are a group of individuals outside the boundaries of the law, heavily involved in criminal activities, and currently lacking resources and energy
