Nobody Wants To Die

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Everybody wants to go to Heaven

Y'all thought I was soft as cotton

Everybody wants to go to Heaven

Messed around and forgot I was rotten

Everybody wants to go to Heaven

You know my resume

You tell 'em I'm on my way

But nobody (you tell 'em, I'm on my way)

Ah nobody wants to die

I keep my mind on my money, I keep my hand on my gunny

Don't get to playin' with sonny, unless you Playboy Bunny

I'll put four in your tummy, tap two in your brain

See the man ain't playing, if you think it's a game

Haters whisper my name, suckers want what I slang

Arrogant and I'm vain, DA want me to hang

But let me explain, like Abel and Cain

That the black Grim Reaper is not my brother's keeper

Revenge, revenge a killer's on a binge of revenge

It depends if I can live with my sins

Lose family and friends (lost em all)

Now you got to lose life and limb, spit phlegm on them

Got the code of Rakim, homey, jokes ain't allowed

And you boy ain't scared to move the crowd with something loud

If you doubt what I'm about, go ahead an run your mouth

I'm the last thing you see when your time is running out, trick

Everybody wants to go to Heaven

I'll send you fast boy, with a blast boy (first class, boy)

Everybody wants to go to Heaven

Messin' with the wrong one, send you on that long run

Everybody wants to go to Heaven (I ain't the one, son)

Pop you like a pro, now you good to go (yeah)

But nobody (nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody)

Ah nobody wants to die

You forgot where I come from, you forgot what I do

You forgot what you was sayin', cuz I'm blockin' your view

Now I got you on cue, you about to turn blue

Get around me now you actin' like my little nephew

Boy what you wan' do? You ain't gon' do ish

But go take a ish, is 'bout as funky as it get

Now I'ma have to admit, that I was prolly too nice

But take my advice or I'll take your life

Now if you still wanna slice, let's start with the fingers

Let's move to the toes, and end with the penis

See men are from Mars, now you from Venus

How dumb you got to be tryin' to think with the genius

It's the big payback, you can't clown James Brown

See a brother been down ever since Jamestown

You either swim or you're drowned, you either gagged or you're bound

Now you can't make a sound, boy look at you now

Everybody wants to go to Heaven

I'll send you fast boy, with a blast boy (first class, boy)

Everybody wants to go to Heaven

Messin' with the wrong one, send you on that long run

Everybody wants to go to Heaven (I ain't the one, Crip)

Pop you like a pro, now you good to go (go on)

But nobody (nobody, na)

Ah nobody wants to die
