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, die, die, die, die
Don't cry my niggas it's been one hell of a ride my niggas
In the middle of the trial, I flip 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 Ceasar 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 miss that'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 demands 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
See you 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 third like Christ
Without my physical portion
My spirit, a poltergeist for sure
I'll be back through the heist 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 reveal 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 they "whats and whys"
Make sure everybody in my fam' clutch five?
If I should die
Don't cry my niggas
