A masterpiece of a song consisting of multiple artists who all individually smash it, kill it and nail it on point. Especially Biggie and PAC! Pacs flow at the end? OMFG! This version is millions of times better than Eminems version. And I think everyone who is reading this will absolutely agree with me! Enough said!
I think they came to this side on a short stay that’s why they produced more tracks before 26 than most stars make in a lifetime. Who else dies at 24 and 25 and leaves behind enough material for several posthumous albums. That’s an insane work rate. They were here on borrowed time and if you actually listen to their core, they seemed to know it and never wasted a second. They both prophesied their dying young. ‘WoKe up with 50 enemies plotting my death, all 50 seeing visions of me shot in the chest’-Pac Biggie’s breakout Album was called Ready to Die. Innately they knew they were here on borrowed time and so sought to live on on through their art. Now they are immortal. Forever 24 and 25.
It's disgusting really--- ain't a rapper alive today that can handle a beat like this.. Even the lower level Lawz would out perform these lil Wayne losers
So sad, damn near everyone on the song is gone, k Dog, Dramacydal, Stretch, Big, and Pac...one of the greatest tracks ever...I have this on the One Million Strong tape and I remember like 2-3 years later it was re-issued and people were just getting up on how great the track is...this is tight because even the tape i had has the edits in it...love this uncut, can't find this track anywhere...and I don't want that (living to die) version....
[Intro] [Stretch:] 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 (Put them motherfucking Nike's on tight and get ghost y'all) [Verse 1: Dramacydal] [Young Hollywood] I ain't got nuttin' on my mind, but gettin' in some trouble Licking 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, but if I die, bury me a motherfucking G A open casket on them bastards so they all remember me With my vest on my chest, my tools and my piece Thug Life motherfucker, got me runnin' from the police [K-Dogg] Nigga, you know that's true Catch a nigga like K-Dog, chillin' with a crew Every damn day parlay with my glass of Re The O.J. and it's all okay To 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 [Big Malcolm] Still runnin' from the police, I gets no sleep I got you peepin' in my window, while I'm smokin' indo But I ain't no motherfucking track star, pigs got a jeep Like Big Malcolm, runnin' through motherfucker's backyards So I grabs my piece before I flee And instead of me runnin', these bitches is runnin' from me Lick shots hit spots off on my piece 'Cause a nigga like Big Malcolm is through runnin' from the police [Hook: Buju Banton] Now it's war, me trying 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 2] [Stretch] Yo I was, schemin' and fiendin' for loots and took the crooked route to 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 [The Notorious B.I.G.] 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 [Stretch] And we got the workers choppin' rock, fiends by the flock And we gettin' it, the dirty cop is jealous so they sweatin' it I'm lettin' off 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 [The Notorious B.I.G.] 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 That's why I bust back, it don't phase me When he drop, take his Glock, and I'm Swayze Celebrate my escape, sold the Glock, bought some weight Laid back, I got some money to make, motherfucker [Hook: Buju Banton] Now it's war, me trying 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 3: 2Pac] They got me runnin' from the five-o Duckin' and dodgin' and my survival Depends on when I let off with my nine, ho 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 loc'ed 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?

Real version..had this on cd as a teen.. pac got biggie on this one.. but biggie did good.. biggie: we had to grow dreads to change our description.. lol there was a version that had a shawty singing in this one*"
I know it's funny because if you think about it as a hold of Outlaws on some classic records and I mean they're holding it this is a classic song I just listened to the start off you know I think if I'm correct that's Kadafi and EDI
Had this album on cassette used to bang this when we went out to do earns get us in the mood to creep and burgs chase the money. CONART X SHOOTER O.T.$ #274
I know when you listen to that song and just think about it like for people from that original song track is deceased now kind of makes me sad in a way but the music loves on you know
I have so many questions about the recording of this song. What year? What day? PAC and BIG were cool at this time right? How long before the quad studio shooting did this happen? Why was it made? For what album?
It's crazy they was all cool at one time I believe fame was part of the reason maybe if they stayed regular shit would've been avoided but then we wouldn't got 2 hear big n pac lyrics rest up pac n big
I will also be intrugued by the fact that Tupac and Strech and Biggie were so good friends - but they had just a few song together. Come on man, ONE song with BIG ... ?
Actually this is not there last song together the last song they recorded together was house of pain they did another song together called let’s get it on they got 3 to 4 tracks together including this song they did together it maybe more we just haven heard it yet
So was there actually a CD that contained the song without mentions of cops/police being censored in the verses? The thing I don't fucking understand is there are several singles where it's not censored in the chorus or intro but it is still censored in the verses. Makes no sense.
I remember buying this CD … playing it all day damn day and night … omg loved this version and still do … rap today don’t even compare
Facts. I remember this song as a young shorty
Same here.
This version doesn't bleep the swears
🎉
I bought the CD too when it first came out
This is the original and best version the way pac wanted it. We used to blast this over and over back in 96.
At that time we never had this uncut version,it always bleeped the swears
@@titorios1416 I know right. And uploader is using a picture from a release that also bleeps out stuff

Best version of this song
Stones remix w the female on the chorus is the best version
@@AuGold808 post the link
The only version as far as I'm concerned.
Bit depressiv
Fact's I don't like the other one! 👎
This is by far the best version.
Of course the other one sucks 🤦
Who still banging this in 2024.? me!!
Me bro! Shit I had this on cassette tape . Banger!
When Pac says, "till they murder me I'ma legend" I get the chills! RuffRugged&Raw OUTLAW

Eminem ruined this song
Absolutely Agree
Its that background music that gets me everytime
Imagine had they not died and squashed the beef and made more gems like this together.
Hip hop would be changed forever 🤔🤔🤔
that would require the 1995 incident to never happen
Biggie could've easily called up 2Pac in prison to squashed it but instead he was with 2Pac's enemies including Big Stretch
@@gangstamack8397 not the case as things would get more complicated than that

one of my favorites of all time. instant classic 🎙 🔥

This Song is a Masterclass... Beat by easy mo Raps by 2 Legends plus some youngins
If they had left their differences, we would have had more jewels like this pure gold. May these two greats be resting in peace. Big up.
Real gangsta stiiiieeeet right here 👊
Till this dayyyy!!!!!! 2022,, I can't find it on spotify smh 😅
I had this shit on cassette tape in 6th grade 🔥🔥🔥
Crazy to think this was recorded in 94 and by the end of 97 Tupac, Biggie and Stretch were killed
Also Kadafi
The OG Best Version of This Song.. We Played this so much back in the day
The best version of this track still listening to this here in2022
I remember buying this single on cd back in the 90s as a youngin'
I still have the CD single , it's GOLD for me 🔥
Best version ever , cant find it anywhere , i had this album "one million strong" ones but got snatched , now i cant find it anywhere :/
@Silent Assassin The one I got is censored(words like 5-0 and police). Are they all like that?
@Silent Assassin damn. That was a waste then.
search for album named stop the gun fight,thats all uncensored
This is the og version. The new one is straight trash compared to this one
The best version
Love ❤️ Pac and having Biggie just makes this even more classic 🔥 🔥
This is THE best version.
2pac kills it when he spits lyrics
One of my Top three Pac joints💯
What’s your other two?
@@tokotoko3592
1. Pain
2. Runnin‘ from the Police
3. All eyez on me
That’s what I call a banger
BRAND NEW to this version. I love our culture.
This shit and few other classics need to go digital asap👌
A dope and deadly combination..
2024 ...and still ...
So sad, damn near everyone on the song is gone, k Dog, Dramacydal, Stretch, Big, and Pac...one of the greatest tracks ever...I have this on the One Million Strong tape and I remember like 2-3 years later it was re-issued and people were just getting up on how great the track is...this is tight because even the tape i had has the edits in it...love this uncut, can't find this track anywhere...and I don't want that (living to die) version....
kastro didnt die bro
K dog is kastro and he is from Dramacydal still alive
Damn,this track still fresh as new records yo ;)
[Intro]
[Stretch:] 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
(Put them motherfucking Nike's on tight and get ghost y'all)
[Verse 1: Dramacydal]
[Young Hollywood]
I ain't got nuttin' on my mind, but gettin' in some trouble
Licking 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, but if I die, bury me a motherfucking G
A open casket on them bastards so they all remember me
With my vest on my chest, my tools and my piece
Thug Life motherfucker, got me runnin' from the police
[K-Dogg]
Nigga, you know that's true
Catch a nigga like K-Dog, chillin' with a crew
Every damn day parlay with my glass of Re
The O.J. and it's all okay
To 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
[Big Malcolm]
Still runnin' from the police, I gets no sleep
I got you peepin' in my window, while I'm smokin' indo
But I ain't no motherfucking track star, pigs got a jeep
Like Big Malcolm, runnin' through motherfucker's backyards
So I grabs my piece before I flee
And instead of me runnin', these bitches is runnin' from me
Lick shots hit spots off on my piece
'Cause a nigga like Big Malcolm is through runnin' from the police
[Hook: Buju Banton]
Now it's war, me trying 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 2]
[Stretch]
Yo I was, schemin' and fiendin' for loots and took the crooked route to
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
[The Notorious B.I.G.]
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
[Stretch]
And we got the workers choppin' rock, fiends by the flock
And we gettin' it, the dirty cop is jealous so they sweatin' it
I'm lettin' off 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
[The Notorious B.I.G.]
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
That's why I bust back, it don't phase me
When he drop, take his Glock, and I'm Swayze
Celebrate my escape, sold the Glock, bought some weight
Laid back, I got some money to make, motherfucker
[Hook: Buju Banton]
Now it's war, me trying 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 3: 2Pac]
They got me runnin' from the five-o
Duckin' and dodgin' and my survival
Depends on when I let off with my nine, ho
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 loc'ed 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 five-o
I'm runnin' from the police
[Hook: Buju Banton]
Now it's war, me trying 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

Buju banton, 2 pac outlawz and biggie💪🏼♥️
That sounds nothing like Buju Banton. Sounds like someone who grew up in the US with Jamaican parents.
the beast
i had the original single but fuckers stole it one of the best hard songs of all tine
It's crazy they was all cool at one time I believe fame was part of the reason maybe if they stayed regular shit would've been avoided but then we wouldn't got 2 hear big n pac lyrics rest up pac n big

“Now tell me is it me or my upbringing I spit that thug shit motherfucking singing” this right here is a crazy double entendre. Sheesh.
Why is this song not available on Apple Music
So young
biggie killed it. 2pac probably in his prime...i like style of rapping and beat picking around the thug life era the best.
REST IN PEACE 🌷🌷🌷
what CD is this version from? trying to get a copy of this one and not that edited one that seems to be everywhere
One Million Strong - 94 (Best hiphop album ever made!)
👁
I hear ' I Feel Ya', by Scarface.. I Love Music
How come that i cant find it on Spotify?
Better off downloading the MP3 off Google and throwing it on your phone through ITunes
All i know is that the song was to violent so 2pac gave it to one million strong album so they own it ask them
It was also supposed to be on me againts the world but after the quad studios incident and going to prison it got scrapped
open.spotify.com/playlist/5oR3EdmOF71dNYTTS9H1Su?si=fA0fNIA2SMi5lftUOxuB7g
