If I Should Die |
Come on… life… death… |
Here… gone… yo |
If I should die, don’t cry, my niggas |
Just ride, my niggas, bust bullets in the sky, my niggas |
And when I’m gone don’t mourn, my niggas |
Get on, my niggas |
When it’s real say word to Shawn, my niggas |
If I should die… |
Don’t cry, my niggas, it’s been one hell of a ride, my niggas |
In the middle of the drought, I flipped pies, my niggas |
I did joints with Mary J. Blige, my niggas |
I’ve eluded the coppers, got booted with Big Poppa |
Skated through with the Caesar picadas |
At high school got head by the lockers |
Gassed the baddest girl in the class to show me her knockers |
Rocked jewels, dropped school, still didn’t fail |
Rhymes still written well, hold court in the street |
Never sit in the cell for a second then I’m gettin' my bail |
Shoot it out with the bounty hunters fuck |
Sittin' in the county for summers if they should down me |
Everybody around us become one for that day |
To live life get your shit right and play |
Don’t get it twisted like braids, if I’m missed it’s okay |
But life’s short, don’t miss a day, uhh |
If I should die, don’t cry, my niggas |
Just ride, my niggas, bust bullets in the sky, my niggas |
And when I’m gone don’t mourn, my niggas |
Get on, my niggas |
When it’s real say word to Shawn, my niggas |
If I should die… |
… don’t cry, my niggas |
It’s been one hell of a ride, my niggas |
Say word to Wais, my niggas |
When I’m gone don’t mourn, my niggas |
Just keep gettin' it on, my niggas |
Say word is bond, my niggas |
I got a lot to look back on, in '88 got my crack on |
Ten years later gettin' my rap on |
Gettin' shorties like a thespian |
Had an episode with two lesbians, got a fetish for that |
Drunk ginseng with Japanese chicks and pulled the root out |
Squeeze my whole clip to survive shootouts |
Been on both coasts, fired all kinds of heat |
Probably be kinda glad to leave these mean streets |
I got de-mands to meet and questions to fulfill |
Like is that mystery God real? |
And how was Kennedy killed? |
I ain’t mad, I must’ve smoked a ton of reefer |
Sipped Coronas with Latifah, broke the code of Geneva |
I know when I reach the other side I’ma see the |
Cat I had beef with who blood remains on my sneaker |
Then it’s on again, if I could be born again |
I live my life through my son |
And tell him never have a friend |
Just family, reincarnated I’ll shorten the time |
That I waited to get paid, tell him never be afraid |
Niggas hearts pump Kool Aid and yo' blood run thicker |
Never shed tears, cry liquor, my nigga |
If I die don’t cry, my niggas |
It’s been one hell of a ride, my niggas |
Say word to Wais, my niggas |
When I’m gone don’t mourn, my niggas |
Just keep bangin' these songs, my niggas |
Say word is bond, my niggas |
If I die… |
… don’t cry my niggas |
Just stay gettin' high, my niggas |
Don’t wonder why, my niggas |
When I’m gone live on, my niggas |
Just follow my path, my niggas |
Say word to Half, my nigga |
I’m the aftermath of pleasure never die alone |
Born to live forever through life’s struggles |
I cut corners and took drastic measures |
Seen niggas life expire right in front of me |
Time could never mend what these cold streets |
Mentally done to me, too often, I close my eyes |
And see my own coffin feelin' haunted |
Ready to leave this world that I’m lost in |
My only chance to see the seeds I lost through abortion |
When I’m gone y’all niggas better not mourn, keep flossin' |
As long as my name lives on what’s most important |
I’ll be down in hell scorchin' preparin' for life |
Afterlife still torchin' and blazin' these mics |
It’d rain for 40 days and 40 nights |
And I’d return on the 3rd like Christ |
(Without my physical portion) |
My spirit a poltergeist for sure |
I’ll be back through the Heights tomorrow |
Blood over y’all fake niggas door |
What you thought, huh? |
What you thought, nigga? |
If I should die don’t cry, my niggas |
Just stay gettin' high, my niggas |
Don’t wonder why, my niggas |
When I’m gone live on, my niggas |
Just follow my path, my niggas |
Say word to Half, my nigga |
When I die… |
… don’t cry, my niggas |
It’s been one hell of a ride, my niggas |
Say word to Wais, my niggas |
When I’m gone don’t mourn, my niggas |
Just keep gettin' it on, my niggas |
Say word is bond, my niggas |
If I die… |
… don’t cry, my niggas |
Just ride, my niggas, bust bullets in the sky, my niggas |
And when I’m gone don’t mourn, my niggas |
Get on, my niggas |
When it’s real say word to Shawn, my niggas |
If I should die… |
I’d tell Big they’re still hearin' his songs |
Run into Pac ask him where we went wrong |
Tell him life is miserable when ya dealin' in the physical form |
Is everything that’s invisible gone? |
I need to know, will I still feel pain or will it be ironic? |
Will I chill in the flames for all the ills of my brain? |
Can I re, veal the game to all the hustlers |
Trapped in the race and if so can I leave this place? |
Can I puff cigars and drink Cristal? |
If this is heaven to me is this considered heavenly? |
Can I still touch lives, answer their «whats and whys» |
Make sure everybody in my fam' clutch five? |
If I should die… don’t cry, my niggas |
