If I Die 2Nite





A coward dies a thousand deaths
A soldier dies but once


Verse One:

They say pussy and paper is poetry power and pistols
Plottin on murderin motherfuckers 'fore they get you
Picturin pitiful punk niggaz coppin pleas
Puffin weed as I position myself to clock G's
My enemies scatter in suicidal situations
Never to witness the wicked shit that they was facin
Pockets is packed with presidents, pursue your riches
Evadin the playa hatin tricks, while hittin switches
Bitches is bad-mouth, cause ballin motherfuckers is bold
But y'all some hoes, the game should be sewed
I'm sick of psychotic society somebody save me
Addicted to drama so even mama couldn't raise me
Even the preacher and all my teachers couldn't reach me
I run in the streets and puffin weed wit my peeps
I'm duckin the cop, I hit the weed as I'm clutchin my glock
Niggaz is hot when I hit the block, what if I die tonight


Chorus
:

If I die tonight (repeat 3X)
"Tonight's the night I get in some shit" - Dr. Dre


Verse Two:

Polishin pistols prepare for battle pass the punk
When I get to poppin niggaz is droppin then they done
Callin the coroner come collect the fuckin corpse
He got it by killin we got the power bein boss
Revenge is the method we're never steppin keep a weapon close
Adversaries are overdosed over deadly notes
Jealous niggaz and broke bitches equal packed jails
Hit the block and fill your pockets makin crack sales
Picture perfection pursuin paper with a passion
Visions of prisons for all the pussies that I blasted
Runnin with criminals individuals with no remorse
Try to stop me my pistol posse's usin deadly force
In my brain all I can think about is fame
The police know my name, a different game, ain't a thing changed
I'm seein silly teary photos of my peers
Conversatin like they still here, if I die tonight


Chorus


Verse Three:

Pussy and paper is poetry power and pistols
Plottin on murderin motherfuckers 'fore they get you
Pray to the heavens three-fifty-sevens to the sky
And I hope I'm forgiven for Thug Livin when I die
I wonder if heaven got a ghetto for Thug niggaz
A stress free life and a spot for drug dealers
Pissin while practicin how to pimp and be a playa
Overdose of a dick, while drinkin liquor when I lay her
Pistol whippin these simps, for bein petrified and lame
Disrespectin the game, prayin for punishment and pain
Goin insane, never die, live eternal, who shall I fear?
Don't shed a tear for me nigga I ain't happy hear
I hope they bury me and send me to my rest
Headlines readin MURDERED TO DEATH, my last breath
Take a look picture a crook on his last stand
Motherfuckers don't understand, if I die tonight


Chorus

Me Against the World

It's just me against tha World
ooohhhhh ooohhhhh
just me against tha world baby
ohhhhhh ohhhhhh
I got nothin' ta lose
it's just me against tha world
ohhhhh
stuck in tha game
me against tha world baby

Can you picture my prophecy?
stress in tha city
tha cops is hot for me
tha projects is full of bullets
tha bodies is droppin'
there ain't no stoppin me
constantly moven while maken millions
witnessin' killins
leavin dead bodies in abandoned buildings
caries tha children
cause they're illin'
addicted to killin'
a near appeal from tha cap pealin'
what i'm feelin'
but will they last or be blasted
hard headed bastard
maybe he'll listen in his casket
tha aftermath
more bodies being buried
i'm losen my homies in a hurry
they're relocating to tha cemetary
got me worried
stressin'
my visions bluried
tha question is will I live
no one in tha world loves me
i'm headed for danger
don't trust strangers
put one in tha chamber
whatever i'm feelin' is anger
don't wanna make excuses
cause this is how it is
what's tha use
unless we're shootin'
no one notices tha youth
It's Just Me against tha World baby


Chorus

ooohhhhh
Me against tha world
It's Just me against tha World
ooohhhhh

It's Just Me Against tha World
Me Against tha World
cause it's just me against tha world baby

Me against tha World

ooohhhh yeeah

I got nothin' ta lose
It's Just me against tha world baby

I got nothin' ta lose


[Dramacydal's verse]

Could somebody help me?
i'm out here all by myself
seeing ladies in stores
baby capones
livin wealthy
pictures of my birth
on tha surface what i'm dreamin'
seein' daddy seein'
full of crooked deamons
already crazy and screamin'
I guess them nightmares as a child
had me scared
but left me prepared
for awhile
is there another route?
for crooked outlaws
that are in a villian of young thugs

everday is more death
plus i'm more rollin
i'm seein more beatens
for me
to proceed with fear
scheme on schemeing
amd leavin' their peeps grievin'
cause ain't no bucks ta stack up
my nuts is backed up
i'm about ta act up
go load tha mack up
now watch me klack up
try makin' fat cuts
but yo it ain't workin
and evils lurken
I can see him smirken
when I gets tha bourbon
so what
go put some work in
and make my mail
makin' sells
risken 25 with a 'L'
but oh well


Chorus

Me Against tha World
with nothin' ta lose
it's just me against tha world

ooohhhh

It's just Me Against tha World baby
Me Against tha world
I got nothin' ta lose
It's just Me Against tha World

heeeyyy

It's just Me Against tha World baby

with nothin ta lose
it's just me against tha world baby
Me against tha world

Me against tha world

I got nothin' ta lose
it's just me against tha World baby

heeeyyy


[Tupac's verse]

With all this extra stressin'
tha question I wonder is after death
I feel my last breath
when will I finaly get to rest from this supression
they punish tha people that's askin questions
and those that possess
steal from tha ones without possesions
tha message I stress
to make it stop
study your lessons
don't settle for less
even tha genius asks questions
be gratifull for blessins
don't ever change
keep your essense
tha powers in tha people and tha politics we address
always do your best
don't let this pressure make ya panic
and when ya get stranded
and things don't go tha way ya planed it
dreaming of richs
in a position of makin' a difference
polititions and hipocrites
they don't wanna listen
if i'm insane
then tha fame ain't about ta change
it wasn't nothin' like tha game
it's just me Against tha World


Chorus

Me against tha World
nothin ta lose
It's just Me Against tha world baby

Me Against tha World
got me stuck in tha game
It's just Me Against tha World
ooohhhh

i'm outshining tha news
It's just me against tha world baby
hahaha

Me against tha World
that's right...
I know it seem hard someties, but uh...
remember one thing
through every dark night
there's a bright day after that
so no matter how hard it get
stick ya chest out
keep ya head up
and handle it

Me against tha World
Me against tha world
Me against tha world


fades...

So Many Tears

I shall fear no man, but God
though I walk through tha valley of death
I shed so many tears
Please God walk with me...

back in Elementry, I thrived on misery
left me alone I grew up amongst a dying breed
as my mind couldn't find a place ta rest
until I got that Thug Life Planted on my chest
tell me can ya feel me ?
I'm not liven in tha Past, Ya wanna last
Be tha first ta blast, remember Kato
no longer with us he's deseased
call on tha sirens, I seem him murdered in tha streets
now rest in peace
Is there heaven for a 'G' ?
remember me, so many homies in tha cemetary
shed so many tears


Chorus

Lord
I suffer through tha years
and shed so many tears
Lord
I lost so many peers, shed so many tears


Now that i'm strugglin' in this business
by any means, label me greedy gettin green
but seldom seen
and fuck tha world cuz i'm cursed
I'm havin visions of leaven here in a hurse
God can ya feel me ?
take me away from all tha pressure and all tha pain
show me some happiness again
i'm goin' blind
I spend my time in this cell, ain't livin' well
I know my destiny is hell, where did I fail ?
my life is in denial
and when I Die, babtised in Eternal Fire
shed so many tears...


Chorus

Lord
I suffer through tha years
and shed so many tears
Lord
I lost so many peers, shed so many tears

Now i'm lost and i'm weary
so many tears, i'm suicidal, so don't stand near me
my every move is a compilated step
ta bring me closer
to embrace an early death now there's nothing left
there was no mercy on tha streets
I couldn't rest
I'm barely standing, bout to go to pieces, screaming peace
and though my soul was deleted, I couldn't see it
I had my mind full of deamons tryin' ta break free
they planted seeds and they hatched sparking tha flame
in my brain like a match, such a dirty game
no memories, just misery
painting a picture of my enemies killing me in my sleep
will I survive till' tha morning ta see tha sun
please lord forgive me for my sins
cause here I come...


Chorus

Lord
I suffer through tha years
and shed so many tears
Lord
I lost so many peers, shed so many tears


Lord knows i've tried, been a witness ta homicide
drive-bys taken lives, little kids die
wonder why as I walk by
Broken hearted as I glance at tha chaulk line, gettin' high
this ain't tha life for me
I wanna change
but ain't no future right for me
i'm stuck in tha game
i'm trapped inside a maze
see this Tangaray influenced me ta gettin crazy
disillusioned lately
i've been really wanting babies
so I could see a part of me that wasn't always shady
don't trust my lady
cause she's a product of this poison, i'm hearen noises
think she's fucken with my boys, can't take no more
i'm fallin' to tha floor
beggin' for tha Lord ta let me in Heavens door
I shed so many tears...


Chorus

Lord
I lost so many peers
and shed so many tears
I lost so many peers, shed so many tears
fades... I suffered through tha years and shed so many tears

Put away my 9
cause these times call for four-five sales
cause life is hell and everybody dies

if you choose to apply yourself
go with tha grain and come tha riches and tha bitches and tha fame

Lord Knows

Damn...another funeral, another mothafucken' funeral


Chorus

Lord Knows
Lord Knows
Lord Knows


I smoke a bunt ta take tha pain out
and if I wasn't high, probably try and blow my brains out
i'm hopeless
they shoulda tried to kill me as a baby
but, now they got me trapped in tha storm, i'm goin crazy
forgive me
they wanna see me in my casket
and if I don't blast i'll be a victim of tha bastards
i'm loosing hope, they got me stressen, can tha Lord forgive me
got tha spirit of a thug in me
another sip of that drink, this hennesee got me queaze
don't wanna hurl, young nigga take it easy
picture your dreams on a triple beam
and it seems
don't underestimate tha power of a feind
to tha homies on tha block
slangin' rocks with ya glocks put this tape in your box
when your runnin' from tha cops
and never look back
if they could be black
then they would switch
open fire on those busta-ass bitches
and Lord Knows...


Chorus

Lord Knows
Lord Knows
Lord Knows


I wonder if tha Lord will forgive me
or bury me a 'G'
I couldn't let my adversaries worry me
and every single day it's a test
wear a bullet-proof vest
and still a nigga stressen over death
If I could choose when a nigga die
figure I, take a puff on tha blunt
and let my trigga fly
when everyday is another death
with every breath, it's a constant threat
so watch your step
you could be next if ya want to
who do ya run to?
murderin niggas, look what it's come to
my memories bring me misory
and life is hard in tha ghetto, it's insanity
I can't breath got me thinkin', what do hell got?
cause I done suffered so much, i'm feelin' shell shocked
and drive-by's are an everyday thang
I already lost to many homies to this mothafucken' game
and Lord Knows....


Chorus

Lord Knows
Lord Knows
Lord Knows


Fuck tha Five-o cause they after me
kill me if they could
I'll never lett'em capture me
I lost too many niggas to this gangbangin'
Homie dies in my arms, with his brains hangin'
fucked up!
I had to tell him it was alright
and that's a lie, and he knew it when he shock and died
my God
even though I know i'm wrong man
Hennesee make a nigga think he strong, man
I cant sleep, so I stay up
don't wanna
fuck them bitches, try to clam me down
I ain't given up
i'm getten lost in tha weed, man
gettin high
livin' everday, like i'm gonna die (gonna die, gonna die)
I smoke a blunt to take tha pain out
and if I wasn't high
probably try ta blow my brains out
Lord Knows....
Lord Knows
Lord Knows.....

Dear Mama

2Pac:

When I was young me and my Mama had beef.
Seventeen years old. Kicked out on the streets.
Though back at the time, I never thought I'd see her face.
Ain't a woman alive that could take my mama's place.
Suspended from School. Scared ta go home. I was a fool.
With the Big Boyz, breakin' all the rules.
Had tears with my baby sister. Over the
Years we was poorer than the other little kids.
And even though we had different Daddy's, the same drama.
When things went wrong we'd blame Mama.
I reminice on the stress I caused. It was hell.
Huggin' on my Mama from a jail cell.
And who'd think in elementary?
Heeey! I see the penitentary!
One day, runnin' from the police... That's Right...
Mama catched me, put a whoopin' to my back side.
And even as a crack fiend, Mama,
You always was a black queen, Mama.
I finally understand,
For a woman it ain't easy tryin' ta raise a man.
You always was commited.
A poor single mother on welfare... Tell me how ya did it.
There's no way I can pay ya back,
But the plan is ta show ya that I understand.
You are appreciated.


Voice: Lady. Don't cha know what love is?
2Pac: Dear Mama.
Voice: Sweet Lady. Place no one above ya.
2Pac: You are appreciated.
Voice: Sweet Lady. Don't cha know what love is?


2Pac:

 

Now ain't nobody tell us it was fair.
No love from my Daddy 'cause the cabal wasn't there.
He passed away and I didn't cry 'cause my anger
Wouldn't let me feel for a stranger.
They say I'm wrong and I'm heartless. But all along
I was lookin' for a father. He was gone.
I hung around with the Thugs and even though they sold drugs.
They showed a young brother love.
I moved out and started really hangin'.
I needed money of my own so I started slangin'.
I ain't guilty 'cause even though I sell rocks,
It feels good puttin' money in your mailbox.
I love payin' rent when the rent's due.
I hope ya got the diamond necklace that I sent to ya.
'Cause when I was low you was there for me.
Ya never left me alone 'cause ya cared for me.
And I could see ya comin' home after work late.
Ya in the kitchen tryin' ta fix us a hot plate.
Ya just workin' with the scraps you was given.
And Mama made miracles every Thanksgivin'.
But now the road got rough your alone.
Tryin' ta raise two bad kids on your own.
And there's no way I can pay ya back.
But my plan is ta show ya that I understand.
You are appreciated.


Voice: Lady. Don't cha know what love is?
2Pac: And Dear Mama.
Voice: Sweet Lady. Place no one above ya.
2Pac: You are appreciated.
Voice: Sweet Lady. Don't cha know what love is?


2Pac:

 

Pour Out Some Liquor and I reminice. 'Cause through the drama
I can always depend on my Mama.
And when it seems that I'm hopeless,
You say the words that can git me back in focus.
When I was sick as a little kid,
To keep me happy there's no limit to the things ya did.
And all my childhood memories
Are full of all the sweet things ya did for me.
And even though I act craaazy,
I gotta thank the Lord that cha made me.
There are no words that can express how I feel.
Ya never kept a secret, always stayed real.
And I appreciated how ya raised me.
And all the extra love that cha gave me.
I wish I could take the pain away.
If you can make it through the night there's a brighter day.
Everything will be alright if ya hold on.
It's a struggle everyday, gotta roll on.
And there's no way I can pay ya back.
But my plan is ta show ya that I understand.
You are appreciated.


Voice: Lady. Don't cha know what love is?
2Pac: And Dear Mama.
Voice: Sweet Lady. Place no one above ya.
2Pac: You are appreciated.
Voice: Sweet Lady. Don't cha know what love is?

It Ain't Easy


I take a shot of Henessee
now I'm strong enough to face the madness
nickel bags full of sess weed laced with hash
phone calls from my niggas on the other side
two childhood friends just died
I couldn't cry
A damn shame, when will we ever change
And what remains
from a twelve gauge to the brain
Arguements with my foolish troop
I spend more time with my niggas then I
do with you
But everywhere it's the same thang
that's the game, I'll be damned if a thang changed
Fuck the fame
I'll be hustling to make a million
lord knows, ain't no love for us ghetto children
so we cold, rag top slowin' down
time to stop for gas
peep my horn for a hoochie with a proper ass
Uhh, It ain't easy, that's my motto
drinkin' tangeray straight out da bottle
everybody wanna know if I'm insane
my baby mama gotta mind full of silly games
all the drama got me stressen like I'm hopeless
I can't cope
me and my homies smokin' roaches
cuz we broke
late night hangin' out till the sunrise
getten high
watchin' the cops roll by
Uhh, It ain't easy


Chorus (3X)

It ain't easy being me
Will I see the penitentary
or will I stay free Uhh..


I can't sleep
niggas plottin' on to kill me
While I'm dreaming
wake up screaming
cuz I can hear them suckas scheming
Probably paranoid,
Problem is
I'm supposed to be fantasing
A brother bite the bullet
Open I'm fire
And I thought
"I wonder why this the way it is"
Even now looking of for these
Killa kids
Bill Clinton can you recognize a nigga representin'
doin' 20 to life in San Quintan
gettin calls from my nigga
Mike Tyson
Ain't nuttin' nice
Yo Pac, "Do something rightegous with your life
Even thou you innoccent
You still a nigga
So they figure
rather have behind bars then triggas
But I'm hold ya down
And holla Thug Life"
lickin' shots till I see
My niggas free
On my block

No, it ain't easy
Till I see my niggas free
On the block

Chorus (3X)

It ain't easy being me
Will I see the penitentary
or will I stay free Uhh....


Lately, I've been reminicin'
about pepermint snaps
'n Junior High
hit the block
Keepin' eyes on the cops
While D-boyz slang rocks
Its the project ked without a conscience
I'm having dreams
of hearing screams at my concerts
meetin' all my childhood peers
through the years
tryin' to stack a little green
I was only seventeen
when I started servin' fiends
and I wish there was another way
to stack a dollar
and my appollar
cuz these hard times
make me wanna hollar
will I live to see tomorrow ?
am I fallin' off ?
I hit the weed
And proceed
to say, fuck all of y'all
ain't nobody down with me
I'm thuggin'
I can't go home
cuz mutha-fuckas think i'm buggin'
So now I'm in this high powered cell
at the county jail
Punk Judge
Got a grudge
Can't post no bail
what, do I do and these county blues
gettin' battered and bruised
by the you know who
and these fakes get the shakin'
when they face me, snakes
ain't got enough nuts to replace me
sittin' in this livin' hell
listenin' to niggas yell
tryin' to torture to tell
I'm gettin' ill
But ain't nobody sayin' much
The same old nuts
Is makin' bucks
While these sluts is gettin' fucked
they violated my pobation
and it seems
I'll be going on a long vacation
Meanwhile... It ain't easy

No it ain't easy

Chorus (3X)

It ain't easy being me
Will I see the penitentary
or will I stay free Uhh...

I can see your state of misory
from tha introduction

maybe we can see a better way
find a brighter day
late night phone conversations
would that be ok?
I don't wanna take up all your time
or be tha next in line
tell me your size
and let me find things with you in mind
I can see your cautious
and i'm carefull not ta scare ya
but anticipation of love makein'
got ya shakin' when i'm standin' near ya
use of precision will prepare ya
in case you get scared
just ask the man in tha mirror
now tha pictures getten clearer
all he does is hit ya hard
I tell ya to leave
and you tell me keep my faith in god
I don't understand
I just wanna bring ya home
I wonder should I leave ya alone
find a woman of my own
all tha homies tell me that you don't deserve it
I contimplate
but in my heart I know ya worth it

Chorus

ebony, can U get away, let's go

So much pressure in tha air
and I can't get away

I know what's wrong

So much pressure in tha air
and I can't get away
i'm not happy
do you love that man?


Could it be my destiny to be lonely
and be checkin' for these hoochies that be on me
cause they phoney
but you was different
I got no need to be suspicious
cause I can tell
my life with you would be delicious
tha way ya lick ya lips and shake ya hips
got me addicted
i'm sitten here hopen that we can find some way to
kick it
even though I got your digits gotta struggle to
resist it
slowly advance
and miss my chance
not to miss it you blow me kisses
when he ain't lookin
now your hearts tooken
my only wish is that you change your mind
and he get shook
I wanna take you there
but you scared to follow
come see tommorrow
hopen I can take you through tha pain and sorrow
and let you know I care
that someones there for your struggle
depend on me
when you have needs
or there's trouble
I wanna give you happiness and maybe even more
I told you before
not time to waste
we can hook up at the store
Can U get away ?


Chorus

There's so much pressure in tha air
and I can't get away
[yeah you can]
i'm not happy
[Can U get away]

So much pressure in tha air
and I can't get away
i'm not happy


I feel like reminicsin' and I hope ya listen
In tha position and tha pressure and all for competition
me and you
was meant to be my destiny
no longer lonely
cause it's time for you and me
all I can see
a happy home
that's my fantasy
but my reality
is problems with your man and me
what can I do?
don't wanna loose ya to tha sucker
cause if he touch ya
I got some drama for that busta
don't wanna rush ya
but make your mind up fast
nobody knows
or who controls
will it last
before I ask
I hope you see that i'm sincere
and even if ya stay with him
today i'm still here
I refuse to give up
cause I believe in what we share
ya livin' in prison
and what he's givin can't compare
cause everything I feel for you
I wanna let you know
passion will be yours
and i'll never let you go
tell me
Can U get away ?


Chorus

So much pressure in tha air
and I can't get away
i'm not happy
all I wanna know, can U get away

So much pressure in tha air
and I can't get away
i'm not happy
if you really wanted to get away, you could get away


[Tupac Speaking]

You ain't got to go through all this drama

Old School

Here we go we gonna send this one out to da ol school
All these motherfukas in the Bronx and Brooklyn, Staten Island,
Queens and all the motherfukas that laid it down the foundation.
Ya know what I'm sayin, Nothin' but love for da old school. Dats who
we gonna do this one for ya feel me.


CHORUS:

what mo' can I say, I wouldn't be here today
If da old school didn't pave the way


I remember Mr. Magic Flash, Grand Master Cash, L.L raisin' hell
but it didn't last Eric B. and Rakim was da shit ta me I'd flip
to see a Dougie Fresh Show with Rickie G and Red Alert was puttin'
in work, and Chuck Chill had my homies on the hill gettin' ill,when
shit was real. Well I can still remember Raw with Daddy Cain, when De La
Soul was puttin' potholes in the game. I can't explain how it was,
Whodini had me puffin' on dat buddha gettin' buzzed, cuz there I was
Them block parties in da projects and on my block and tic ya don't stop
ya sippin' on dat private stock. And through my speakers Queen Latifah
and MC Lyte Listen to treach and KRS ta get me through the night. With
Te La Rock and Madtronics with Stetsasonic, remember when Push it was da
bomb shit,
Ain't nothin' like da old school


CHORUS:

What more can I say I wouldn't be here today if da old school
didn't pave the way


I had Shell toes and BVD's, a killa preaca shot my lees when I hit da
streetz. I'm playin' Skelly, Ring-a-levio when and catch a kiss, before
my homies in my hood learned ta smack a bitch. I remember, way back
da weak weed they had, too many seeds in da trade bag. Im on a train
headin' uptown freestylin' with some wild kids from Bucktown, Profilin'
cuz da hoochies were starin', checkin' what a niggaz wearin' I'm
wonderin' if dats her hair, I remember stick ball, humpin' hoochies on
da wall, takin' leaks up on da steps stinkin' up da hall. Through my
childhood wild as a juvenile a young nigga tryin' ta stay away from
Riker's Isle, Me and my homies breakin' ice tryin' ta keep it true out
on da roof sippin' 90 proof
ain't nothin' like da old school


CHORUS:

What more can I say...


Remember Poppin and Lockin with Curtis Blow, the Daybelts, and Skat la
Rock da super hole back in latin corners. When Slick Rick was spittin'
Lodi Dodi, gaming no hoochies at da neighborhood block parties, I
remember breakdancin' to Mel E Mel, Jeckyl and Hyde, L.L. when he rocked
da bells forget da T.V I'd rather hit da streets and do grafitti be
careful don't let the transit cops see me
It ain't nothin' like da old school
It ain't nothin' like da old school


CHORUS:

What more can I say......


PAC: remember seein' Brooklyn go crazy up in the motherfuckin party?
Remember MothaFukas used ta go"Is Brooklyn in da House" and Motherfukas
would lose they god damn minds. That's da old school to me

(SUPER ROB)


Thats what I'm sayin' I remember goin' places and mothafukas was scared
to say they was from anywhere but brooklyn. That shit was da bomb back
in da motherfukin' old school nigga, Remember Skelly niggas knockin
niggaz out the box, popin' boxes, (MY ADIDAS) Remember stick ball,
remember niggaz used ta run dat shit like that? Remember(L.L. COOL J IS
HARD AS HELL)screamin' up at ya momz from da window? The Icecream
trucks Remember all the..Remember the Italian Icees yo remember the
Italian Icees the spanish niggas comin' down with the coconut icees and

Death Around the Corner


Child: Why you by the window?, what's wrong daddy?


Mother: I know what's wrong with that crazy motherfucker
He's just stand by the goddamn window
with that fuckin' AK all day
You don't work, you don't fuck, you don't,
you don't do a goddamn thing


I see death around the corner, gotta stay high while I survive
In the city where the skinny niggas die
If they bury me, bury me as a G nigga, no need to worry
I expect retaliation in a hurry
I see death around the- corner, anyday
Trying to keep it together, no one lives forever anyway
Strugglin and strivin, my destiny's to die
Keep my finger on the trigger, no mercy in my eyes
In a ball of confusion, I think about my daddy
Madder than a motherfucker, they never shoulda had me
I guess I seen too many murders, the doctors can't help me
Got me stressin' with my pistol in my sheets, it ain't healthy
Am I paranoid? - Tell me the truth
I'm out the window with my AK, ready to shoot
Ran out of endo and my mind can't take the stress,
I'm out of breath
Make me wanna kill my damn self,
but I see death around the corner


Chorus

(When we were kids, belonging felt good)
I see death around the corner
(But having respect, that feels even better)
I see death around the corner
(When we were kids, belonging felt good)
I see death around the corner
(But having respect, that feels even better)

 

I see death around the corner,
the pressure's getting to me
I no longer trust my homies,
them phonies tried to do me
Smoking too much weed,
got me paranoid, stressed
Pack a gat and my vest,
under my clothes when I dress
Here's hopin I die the way I lived,
straight thuggin'
Huggin' my trigger for all them niggas
who was buggin'
My homie told me once,
don't you trust them other suckers
They fought like they your homies
but they phony motherfuckers
And even if I did die young, who cares
All I ever got was mean mugs and cold stares
I got homies in my head
who done passed away screamin, please
Young nigga, make Gs
I can't give up, although I'm hopeless,
I think my mind's gone
All I can do is get my grind on, death around the corner


Chorus


I was raised in the city, shitty
Ever since I was an itty bitty kitty
Drinkin' liquor out my momma's titty
And smokin' weed was an everyday thang in my household,
And drinking liquor til' you out cold
And tho' i'm gone now, nigga it's still on- Pow
Bustin on them niggas til they gone
How many more jealous ass bitches, comin for my riches
Now I gotta stay suspicious when I bone
Cause if I ain't sharp and heartless,
them bitches will start shit
Excuse me, but this is where we part bitch
No more game for free, please explain to me
Why niggas trip bitch, who you came to see?
Murderin' now but see me later man, as for my pops
I got homies that will hunt you til you drop
I hope the Lord will forgive me, I was a G
And gettin high was a way of gettin free
I see death around the corner


Chorus


This is for all the real mothafuckin niggas out there
I know you ain't scared to die
We all gotta go, ya know ?
A real motherfucker will pick the time he goes
And make sure he handles his motherfuckin business
Y'all niggas stop acting like pussies out there,
all right


(Movie bites)


I'm tired off getting ripped off by guys like that

I want his family dead, I want his house burned to the ground
I want to got there in the middle of the night,
I wanna piss on his head
I want his family dead, I want his house burned to the ground
I want to got there in the middle of the night,
I wanna piss on his head

I want that sonova bitch dead, I want him dead
I want him dead, I don't care

but i'll fucken fire when I leave'em
I shoulda seen'em
hostile ho's catch elbows and grows disposed of
and snitches get dealt with, with no love
body bags of adversaries that I had to bury

but never worry

excersisein'
visualizing'
everyone inside a casket
picture me blasted
surrounded by niggas in masks
sent with tha task
to harass and murder my ass
will I last ?
Heaven or Hell ?
Freedom or Jail ?
shit's hard who can you tell ?
and if we fail ?
high speeds
and tie weed on tha freeway
when will they learn to take it easy ?
driveby's
and niggas die
murder without a motive by making motherfuckers fry
got me runnin' from these coward ass crooked ass cops
helicopters tryin ta hover over niggas till we drops
Got no time for tha courts
my only thought is open fire
hit tha district attorney
but, fuck that bitch, cause she's a lie
now it's time to expire
I see tha judge
spray tha bitch
'motherfuckers is crooked !' is what I scream
and hit tha fence
I cominse to get wicked
spitten rounds as tha plot thickens
never missen
an early grave is my only mission
If I die
never worry, bury me beside my four-five
may God forgive me, I was high
and label me an


Chorus

Outlaw, Outlaw, Outlaw
they came into sin
Outlaw, Outlaw, Outlaw
Dear God, I wonder, could ya save me ?


Society lied to me
