| While I’m out in Harlem
|
| My Louis' scuff my Prada
|
| Kept with white bitches who bottom
|

|
| Cost you 30 in Chicago
|
| Or 20 in Milwaukee (shit)
|
| I started with them
|
| So I’m always in the hood somewhere
|
| When I relate to the bottom
|
| And I swore to keep it ghetto
|
| Like I’m fucking without condoms
|
| Like I’m serving in them buildings
|
| Send my bitch to go get me dimes
|
| I’m so different, I’m Obama
|
| But the drama, baby mama (mama)
|
| (Lo) Lord don’t let me die a man
|
| Lord don’t let me die a man (x3)
|
| I was looking out the window
|
| Hustling with them big folks
|
| My brother’s no Nintendo
|
| I just want to be down
|
| He don’t want me to be close
|
| I wanted to be one
|
| He told me 'no, Tree, no'
|
| Guess that’s where we G-O
|
| I separate, and now I’m C-O
|
| Ain’t you proud of me now?
|
| Love your brother tried to be old
|
| Now my only brother I speak to
|
| And he answer

| Damn, they tell me
|

|
| (Lo) Lord don’t let me die a man
|

|
| I ain’t never been afraid to leave |
| It seems I’ve been too scared to live
|
| (Damn, damn) The arguments and everything
|
| Fuck a deal if I can make you healthy, keep you here
|
| Blood brother, brother of mine
|
| Gave me my one and only tattoo back in '89
|
| Sold me my first whip, was an 89
|
| Left me like life, must’ve phoned you about 80 times
|
| Like old times
|
| (Lo) Lord don’t let me die a man
|
| Lord don’t let me die a man (x3)
|
| Darryl said to Carson 'Won't you niggas visit?'
|
| Homies seen you in the streets and said you niggas living
|
| When we was young and dumb you couldn’t tell us apart
|
| Got to sticking niggas up all the way up north
|
| Now a nigga independent and you won’t show your heart
|
| Show me love, love your blood
|
| I got a year to go, I could get out
|
| You owe me cuz
|
| Blood cousin, no cousin of mine
|
| Whether we on the hill -Lord don’t let me die a man- or we in the ground
|
| (Lo) Lord don’t let me die a man
|
| Lord don’t let me die a man (x3)
|
