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 gone take it
(If you're in it)
You're coming with me
(Bench warmers)
Get no playing time
(No sleeping)
Till I cross the line
I'm runnin'
With 99 miles left, on the Avis rental car
blowing horns like Miles Davis at the pearly gate
God let me in
Give me a room by Aaliyah 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
Trying not to scuff my Nike Air checks again
It's funny how niggaz be the best of friends
And fall out over pussy
and wanna dead they man
One of my niggaz in the grave
the other one in the pen
She fuckin my enemie
ls inside my homeboys 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 trifling bitTrue 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 gone take it
(If you're in it)
You're coming with me
(Bench warmers)
Get no playing time
(No sleeping)
Till I cross the line
If I get knocked with my Gun nigga
I'm runnin'
If I catch a murder one nigga
I'm runnin'
Homicide come around and they
keep on coming
That's why I'm out of state and I
keep on runnin'
I ain't Nelly Put my desert eagles on girl
Just Jumped bail traveling 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 navy seals
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 gone take it
(If you're in it)
You're coming with me
(Bench warmers)
Get no playing time
(No sleeping)
Till I cross the line
I'm runnin'
Cause I gotta pack them shows
And Dre told me
ain't no coming back from Go
So I gotta get my album in place
My G-Unit features
And it was two years
from today when I started rhyming
And took my demo to Suge
and he ain't sign me
Niggaz threatening
my life like it's hard to find me
See me shining 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
giving niggaz they own shoes
And I'm dealing with the same
problems 50 Cent got
Yayo 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 shot
And niggaz trying to
gun me down in the rim shop
Cause I just want the same
recognition that the crypts got
They say I'm the next in line and if I get shot
Then I go out as the Bobby Fischer of hip hop
Make yo chest move
Sylvia Rome and Kevin Lyle 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 gone take it
(If you're in it)
You're coming with me
(Bench warmers)
Get no playing time
(No sleeping)
Till I cross the line
I'm runnin' -
