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 gonna take it
If you're in it, you're coming with me
Bitch, mama, get no playing time
No sleeping till I cross the line
I'm running
With 99 miles left on the Avis
Rent-a-car blowing horns like Miles Davis at the pearly gates
God let me in, give me a room by Leah's with ESPN
I know I got more sins than two lesbians
Been back and forth across the border like Mexicans
But I'm running
Like New York pedestrians
Trying not to scuff my Nike air checks again
It's funny how niggas be the best of friends
And fall out of a pussy in one of their day, man
One of my niggas in the grave, the other one in the pen
She * my enemies inside my homeboy's bins
Now she begging God's mercy
Cause she ain't listening to Nas
And never heard about Ike with the Iverson jersey
He got a cousin named Jason that rocked the Gary Payton
Not the same trifling bitches of 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 gonna take it
If you're in it, you're coming with me
Bitch, warmers
Get no playing time
No sleeping till I cross the line
If I get knocked with my gun, nigga
I'm running
I catch a murder, one nigga
I'm running
Homicide come around in it
Keep on coming
That's why I'm out of state
And I keep on running
I ain't Nelly
Put my Desert Eagles on, girl
Just jumped hell
Traveling the world
When I signed my deal
I said * jail
I went on tour to Barcelona and Brazil
Get * real
* the pill
Tease with my head like that bitch in Kill Bill
Sling dope, sling crack in them E-pills
That's why I'm on the low like a damn Navy SEAL
I'm running
Got to live for today
Cause tomorrow ain't promised to me
Don't just want a piece
I want my own destiny
If you got it
I'm gonna take it
If you're in it
You're coming with me
Bitch, warmers
Get no playing time
No sleeping till I cross the line
I'm running
Cause I gotta pack them shows
And Dre told me ain't no coming back from gold
So I gotta get my album in place
My G-Unit features, my Eminem 16, my Dr. Dre beats
And it was two years from the day when I got my album in place, my G-Unit features, my Eminem 16, my Dr. Dre beats
And I start rhyming
And took my demo to Suga, he ain't signed me
Niggas threatening my life like it's hard to find me
See me shining in the hood like 20 inch Lexanis
My mom said I'm hard-head
I don't follow the rules
Why should I when Reebok giving niggas they own shoes?
And I'm dealing with the same problems 50 Cent got
Yeah you in jail and they think I'm trying to take his spot
I'm in the studio laughing at Chris Rock
Then I turn on MTV and see Soulja Slim's shot
Then I turn on MTV and see Soulja Slim's shot
And niggas try to gun me down in the rim shop
And niggas 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 Fischer of hip-hop
Making chest moves
Sylvia Rhone and Kevin Lowndes 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
Don't just want a piece
I want my whole destiny
If you got it, I'm gonna take it
If you're in it, you're coming with me
If you got it, I'm gonna take it
If you're in it, you're coming with me
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'
