Running
Tupac feat. Biggie Lyrics

Now they say you ain't never suppose to envy no man
According to popular belief, one should not feel jealous towards another individual

Can't tell that to a dingy old man
However, this advice does not apply to an older man who is not in a good mental state

Who see a young nigga getting plently dough man
As this older man witnesses a young individual accumulating a large amount of money

Icy Audemar, Hendy gold band
Possessing expensive jewelry such as a diamond-encrusted Audemars Piguet watch and a gold band from the brand Hennessy

With a mean girl like Lindsay Lohan
Additionally, he is accompanied by a troublesome woman similar to the reputation of Lindsay Lohan

To protect himself, he keeps a 9mm handgun hidden in the door panel of his Bentley car

Trust it's gon' bust you roll on us
He assures that if anyone attempts to engage in violence against him or his associates, the gun will be discharged

Know it's gon' blow for my dough
He is aware that this firearm will be used to protect his wealth and financial interests

Why would you try with that guy
He questions the reasoning behind someone choosing to confront him

He compares the dangerous neighborhood to a warzone like Iraq, considering himself as the resilient leader, Hussein, within the projects

The coupe's up take the new Lame for a sec
He switches to a faster car, leaving behind someone who is considered insignificant and unimpressive

12" up, new cane in the deck nigga
He raises the volume to a high level, introducing a new type of cocaine in the mix

They talk about it, we all about it
While others merely discuss their actions, he and his crew are actively involved in their pursuits

They making plans, we sit and counting
While others are busy planning, he and his associates are focused on counting their stacks of money

Our cheddar stack it's just like a mountain

I'm cool as ever, she's too excited
Although he remains relaxed and composed, the woman is overly excited about the prospect of being with him

Her man look like, he want to fight
The woman's partner appears confrontational and ready to engage in physical conflict

But he ain't doing nothing, but running his mouth
Despite his aggressive appearance, this man is all talk and no action

If someone messes with him, they will experience the rage and aggression of a drug-affected individual

When I get busy throw your hands in the sky nigga
