Runnin' (feat. Tony Yayo)

Got to live for today 'cause tomorrow ain't promised to me

Don't just want a piece I want my whole destiny

If you got it, I'm gon' take it

If you're in it, you're comin' with me

Bench warmers, get no playin' time

No sleepin' till I cross the line, I'm runnin'

With 99 miles left, on the Avis rental car, blowin' horns like Miles Davis at the pearly gates

God let me in, give me a room by Aaliyah's with ESPN

I know I got more sins than two lesbians

Been back and forth across the border like Mexicans, but

I'm runnin'

Like New York pedestrians

Tryin' not to scuff my Nike Air checks again

It's funny how **** be the best of friends

And fall out over pussy and wanna dead they man

One of my **** in the grave, the other one in the pen

She fuckin' my enemies inside my homeboy's Benz

Now she beggin' God's mercy 'cause she ain't listen to Nas and never heard about Ike and the Iverson jersey

He got a cousin named Jason that rock the Gary Payton

Now the same triflin' bitch is a HIV patient, true story

Got to live for today 'cause tomorrow ain't promised to me

Don't just want a piece I want my whole destiny

If you got it, I'm gon' take it

If you're in it, you're comin' with me

Bench warmers, get no playin' time

No sleepin' till I cross the line

If I get knocked with my gun, ****, I'm runnin'

I catch a murder one, ****, I'm runnin'

Homicide come around and they keep on comin'

That's why I'm out of state and I keep on runnin'

I ain't Nelly but my Desert Eagle's on, girl

Just jumped bail, travelin' the world

When I sign my deal, I said, "Fuck jail"

I went on tour to Barcelona and Brazil

This shit real, fuck an appeal

D's want my head like that bitch in Kill Bill

Sling dope, sling crack and them E pills

That's why I'm on the low like a damn Navy seal, I'm runnin'

Got to live for today 'cause tomorrow ain't promised to me

Don't just want a piece I want my whole destiny

If you got it, I'm gon' take it

If you're in it, you're comin' with me

Bench warmers, get no playin' time

No sleepin' till I cross the line, I'm runnin'

'Cause I gotta pack them shows

And Dre told me, "Ain't no comin' back from gold"

So I gotta get my album in place

My G-Unit features, my Eminem sixteens, my Dr. Dre beats

And it was two years from today when I started rhymin'

And took my demo to Suge and he ain't sign me

**** threatenin' my life like it's hard to find me

See me shinin' in the hood like twenty-inch Lexanis

My mom said I'm hard head, I don't follow the rules

Why should I when Reebok givin' **** they own shoes?

And I'm dealin' with the same problems 50 Cent got

Yayo in jail and they think I'm tryna take his spot

I'm in the studio laughin' at Chris Rock, then I turn on MTV and see Soulja Slim shot

And **** try to gun me down in the rim shop 'cause I just want the same recognition that the Crips got

They say I'm next in line and if I get shot, then I go out as the Bobby Fisher of hip hop

Makin' chess moves, Sylvia Rome and Kevin Lyles slept, cool, Jimmy Iovine was the best move

Got to live for today 'cause tomorrow ain't promised to me

Don't just want a piece I want my whole destiny

If you got it, I'm gon' take it

If you're in it, you're comin' with me

Bench warmers, get no playin' time

No sleepin' till I cross the line, I'm runnin'

If you got it

If you're in it

Bench warmers

No sleepin'

I'm runnin'
