Lyrics

When I 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.

You motherfuckers will respect me and stop shitting where you eat

I play nice unless you wanna take me to the street

I'm a simple dude and I speak in layman's terms

So you dumb motherfuckers can understand the words

My whole demeanor is to pull out the nina nine milli

Act silly and crack domes like phillies

I stay in the streets, born in the gutter

I come from nothing, looking for something motherfucker

I spit hard, it resembles my life

It reminds me of how I left my kids and my ex-wife

While I was roaming the streets holding the heat

With no sleep, no cheese, know what I need

Probably god so I went and saw my priest

He told me to come back and died the next week

Please lord help me to reap what I sow

Just give me the word, god cause I'm ready to go

When I die will you take me way up to the sky?

When I die will you take me down where the devil lies?

When I die will you take me up where the angels fly?

When I die or will you meet me with a halo of flies?

My whole life has been non fiction and I live in a house of pain

Stuck in a cage, you're not listening

When will I ever achieve the goals set by those

That expect to live off of my flows?

I got cousins that don't recognise me

So make your bed and live in it, it don't surprise me

On some, "left, it's me." shit

Oh yeah? Well where were you in '89 when I buried my father you fucking bitch?

Family's only there when the going is good

When it's bad you're on your own to grow up in the hood

The outcast looked at as one bad apple

Till there's beef then all these motherfuckers get at you

Well peep game I came up with moms in a dope crib

And tried to forget the fucking way that I lived

I tried to always do it right by my kids

And that's the way that god planned it, I'll give it to him

When I die will you take me way up to the sky?

When I die will you take me down where the devil lies?

When I die will you take me up where the angels fly?

When I die or will you meet me with a halo of flies?

Dear lord, I can't explain all the things that I do

Just know that every single word in this song is true

It's about time I step up and be a fucking man

I got lost along the way and didn't follow the plan

Please take me as I am, I stood on my own two

And thank you for my girl, god, I know that I owe you

I been trained to murder people, kill at will

I've sinned, mortared soldiers in a vietnam villa

But still you hold me close, right by your heart

And I pray that you remember me when armageddon starts

When I die will you take me way up to the sky?

When I die will you take me down where the devil lies?

When I die will you take me up where the angels fly?

When I die or will you meet me with a halo of flies?
