[Intro: Stretch & 2Pac]

One Time, One Time, nigga, One Time (Where?)

Runnin' from the police

(Yeah, I know what you mean)

No matter what I do, they got a nigga

Still runnin' from the police, that's right

(Put them motherfuckin' Nike's on tight and get ghost, squad)


[Verse 1: Yaki Kadafi]

I ain't got nothin' on my mind, but gettin' in some trouble

Lickin' shots to they block, leavin' bloody blood puddles

For some ridah's delight, now we in a gunfight

I can shoot the gauge pebbles at the devils or die tonight

It's on me (It's on me), but if I die, bury me a motherfuckin' G (A motherfuckin' G)

A open casket on them bastards, so they all remember me (So they all remember me)

With my vest on my chest, my jewels and my piece

Thug Life, motherfucker, they got me runnin' from the police


[Verse 2: K-Dog]

They got me runnin' from the police, nigga, you know that's true

Catch a nigga like K-Dogg, chillin' with a crew

Every damn day parlay with my glass of Re' (K-Dog)

The O.J. and it's all okay

'Til that fuckin' fake cop, got to play the man

Ran me down the block with my glass in my hand

Damn, I hope it don't spill

Nigga, chill, shit is real, cock back my steel


[Verse 3: E.D.I. Mean]

Still runnin' from the police (police), I gets no sleep

I got 'em peepin' in my window, while I'm smokin' indo

But I ain't no motherfuckin' track star, pigs got a Jeep

Like Big Malcolm, runnin' through motherfuckers' backyards (Backyards, heh)

So I, grabs my piece before I flee

And instead of me runnin', these bitches is runnin' from me (Hahahaha)

Lick shots, hit spots off off my piece

'Cause a nigga like Big Malcolm's through runnin' from the police


[Chorus: Brownman]

Now it's war, what about they tryna [?] runnin' from the punk police

They try to cock me, but them can't gun store

What about they come to hold up me north

Pulled up the park, I left school and let's buck

Look around, look around, punk police

Run as fast as you can, but you can't catch me

Look around, look around, punk police

Me have to blast back, 'cause they blast at me

[Verse 4: Stretch & The Notorious B.I.G.]

Uh, uh, yo, I was, schemin' and fiendin' for loots and took the crooked route to (Uh)

Ghetto fame, I felt the pains and now I run the game

The insane brain, cold, gettin' fly, like a plane

On them suckers, with my nigga Biggie Smalls causin' ruckus

Check it; I grew up, a fuckin' screw-up

Got introduced to the game, got a ounce and fuckin' blew up

Choppin' rocks overnight

The nigga Biggie Smalls tryin' to turn into the black Frank White

And we got the workers droppin' rock, fiends by the flock

And we gettin' it, the dirty copper jealous, so they sweatin' it

I'm lettin' in smoke, hope they don't play me for no joke

And provoke the homicide, so just let the drama slide

We keepin' it real, fuck how you feel, Biggie, pass the steel

Let's serve these motherfuckers slugs as a fuckin' meal

We had to grow dreads to change our description

Two cops is on the milk box missin'

Show they toes, you know they got stepped on

A fist full of bullets, a chest full of Teflon

Run from the police, picture that

Nigga, I'm too fat, I fuck around and catch a asthma attack (Huh, huh, huh)

That's why I bust back, it don't faze me

When he drop, take his Glock, then I'm Swayze (Yeah)

Celebrate my escape, sold the Glock, bought some weight

Laid back, I got some money to make, motherfucker


[Chorus: Brownman]

Now it's war, me tryin' to sell, runnin' from the punk po-lice

They try to cock me, but them can't gun store

What about they come to hold up me north

Pulled up the park, I left school and let's buck

Look around, look around, punk po-lice

Run as fast as you can, but you can't catch me

Look around, look around, punk police

Me have to blast back, 'cause they blast at me


[Verse 5: 2Pac]

They got me runnin' from the 5-0

Duckin' and dodgin', and my survival

Depends on when I let off with my nine, hoe

I'm movin' swifter than the next nigga

No time for sex, 'cause in my mind all I wonder is who's next, nigga

My homie slipped and now he pays the price

He did a drive-by, sixteen, now he's doin' triple life

Tell me is it me or my upbringin'?

I spit that thug shit

Nigga, motherfuck singin'

I hope you got your Timberlands on tight

'Cause I ain't givin' up

I'd rather duck these motherfuckers all, night

I'm runnin' through the projects, biatch

They'll never catch me 'cause I'm loced and trigger happy on the, sniatch

Don't say you never heard of me, 'til they murder me

I'm a legend

Do thug niggas go to Heaven?

I'm rollin' with the Thoro Headz

We gettin' ghost on them hoes

And, yo, I got no love for the 5-0

I'm runnin' from the police


[Chorus: Brownman]

Now it's war, me tryin' to sell, runnin' from the punk po-lice

They try to cock me, but them can't gun store

What about they come to hold up me north

Pulled up the park, I left school and let's buck

Look around, look around, punk po-lice

Run as fast as you can, but you can't catch me

Look around, look around, punk police

Me have to blast back, 'cause they blast at me
