Bumps and bruises

Cuffs and Land Cruisers

Big Poppa smash fools

hash fools

Niggas mad because they know that cash rules

everything around me

Two Glock nines

Any motherf***er whispering about mines

And I'm Crooklyn's finest

You rewind this

Bad Boy's behind this

As we proceed

to give you what you need

East Coast

Bad Boy

I seen the light

excite all the freaks

Head line news at the top of the hour.

Right now we've got some breaking news

for you out of Las Vegas.

An apparent drive- by shooting

targeting rapper-actor Tupac Shakur.

- Hey, yo, Big, come in here, man!

- At the time of the shooting-

What the hell you hollering about?

Shakur was accompanied

by his producer, Suge Knight.

Police are not yet

indicating any suspects.

However, eye witnesses reported

hearing multiple gunshots.

Shakur was air lifted to the Las Ve gas University

Medical Center with four gunshot wounds...

and is reported to be

in critical condition.

What the f***?

I pray all this East Coast-West Coast

mess is over now.

I saw his mother on TV.

She's a strong woman.

But no parent

should have to bury their child.

I just always figured we had time

to straighten things out.

You don't think this had

anything to do with your argument?

No.

I don't.

Well, nobody is invincible, Son.

That's why we have to make

everything we do now count.

I'm chilling with my man Pac, who schooled me

to the game and sh*t. Know what I'm sayin'?

Now we a bout to wreak havoc on you

motherfuckers, man. Know what I'm sayin'?

I don't know when the hell

they'll fix your truck...

but I 'll get us home before

we're seen in this piece of sh*t.

I don't care, Cease.

Just drive.

Watch out!

In that one moment, I had that thought a gain.

Dying would be better

than dealing with this sh*t.

I was leaving,

and I was sitting in a hotel, and a voice said...

"Do you see any n*ggers?"

And I said, " No." And it said, "You know why?

'Cause there aren't any."

- Yeah, I been here three weeks,

I haven't even said it.

I ain't gonna never call

another black man n*gger.

Look at you. Your mama

should have never let you out the house.

Oh, sh*t.

- I can't believe it.

- Oh, bro, what's going on?

- When did you get out?

- Yesterday.

- You picked up some weight.

- Man, look who's talking.

Damn.

Wow.

Biggie motherfuckin' Smalls.

I'm proud of you, dog.

When the brothers in the pen found out

you was my boy, I got mad love.

Yeah?

How much love did you get?

Man, f*** you, b*tch.

D Roc, there's not a day that don't go by

when I don't think about what you did for me.

I set some paper aside for you.

I didn't do it for no payoff.

If sh*t was reversed, I don't know

how I could do that bid for you like that.

Well, if sh*t was reversed, I don't know

if I could have been strong enough to make it.

Making it?

It ain't all it's cracked up to be.

More money, more problems.

- Beats the corner.

- Guess so.

Hell, yeah.

So how's Tee-Tee doing, huh?

Okay. I guess.

I'm gonna check you out

a little later on, all right?

You know, neither one of us had our fathers

around to teach us how to be men.

We were just learning

as we was going along.

But maybe making it

ain't just about the sh*t you do on stage.

You a philosopher now?

Man, I think everyone

that's in the pen is a philosopher.

But when you're on your back,

laying on that cot...

you spend a lot of time

staring at the ceiling...

Iooking for God...

thinking about what's important.

Keep making it, Chris.

You gotta let me know

whether it's the streets or the studio.

You think that makes you a man?

You be a great father.

What if I don't make it?

I love you too.

We gonna be all right, just you and me.

You're too fat, black, and ugly.

I don't even know who the

f*** you are anymore.

Are you a bad guy trying to be good,

or a good guy trying to be bad?

And I want you to know...

That these are the breaks

That these are the breaks

Break it up, break it up

break it up

Now go play. That's my girl.

- Hello?

- Hey. What you doing?

- I'm just kicking it with my daughter.

- How's the leg?

It's all right.

I got one more stop, and then I'm on my way.

You need anything?

That's not a good idea.

- What isn't?

- I'm just here kicking it with my daughter.

- You were the one who told me to come over.

- I'll call you later.

I'm done with this.

I'm sick of you treating me like sh*t.

You know what, nigga?

Don't even bother calling. All right? Fuckyou.

Fuckyou too, b*tch.

Come here, Tee-Tee.

I'm gonna teach you something

I never want you to forget.

Another rap?

No. More important than any rap song.

Look at me.

See, you're my princess.

So no matter what, for any reason...

never let a man call you a b*tch.

- You got it?

- Yes, Daddy.

- You sure you got it? You better have it, you hear?

- Yes.

Hey, yo, isn't that Sandy?

Yo, she used to be a crack head.

People dying for that next

Biggie Smalls joint.

Tell me the reason why you're here

'cause you ready to get back in the studio.

I can't talk about the same sh*t anymore.

A motherf***er's a work in progress.

You know what I'm sayin'?

But I ain't hustling

on the streets no more.

I got two kids. Half the time

I don't even feel like the same cat.

I wanna do something different.

So if it's cool to try some new sh*t...

I'm ready to come back.

Yeah.

What?

The Notorious baby-What?

- Uh-huh. You ready?

- Yeah, yeah.

- Ready to run the world? Ready to take it?

- Ain't trippin'.

I don't see nobody.

What's up? I'm walking around...

- don't see nobody.

- You know how we do it.

All right.

That's what I'm talking about.

- Yo, welcome back, Biggie.

- Let's get it.

Wit'my counter parts

on how to burn the block apart

Break it down into sections

Drugs by the selection

Some use pipes

Others use injections

Syringe sold separately

Frank the deputy

Quick to grab my Smith and Wesson

like my dick was missin'

To protect my position

my corner, my layer

While we out here

say the hustler's prayer

If the game shakes me or breaks me

I hope it makes me a better man

Take a better stand

Put money in my mom's hand

Get my daughter this college plan

so she don't need no man

Stay far from timid

Only make moves when ya heart's in it

And live the phrase

Sky's The Limit

Motherf***er

See you chumps on top

Sky is the limit

and you know that you keep on

Just keep on pressin' on

What's up?

Uh-huh.

I did it.

I did it.

I'm the greatest!

Yeah.

Just keep on pressin'on

Sky is the limit

Yo, Big, wake up. Wake up, baby.

- We got the 7,:
30 flight- 504.

- 504.

- Going to L.A.X.

- Cali?

- No doubt, baby. California.

- Yeah.

I don't like you going out there.

I think me being in L.A.

Is gonna finally put an end to all of this.

Besides, I'm just promoting the album.

I'll be home soon.

Mmm.

Hey, Ma. I'm proud of you.

Proud of me? For what?

Fighting cancer, then getting your master's,

sticking with it...
