(Puffy)

I want you to ask yourself one question

If you had 24 hours to live .. what would you do

thats some deep shit right there

alot of pressure, how would you handle it ?

Mase .. what would you do ??

(mase)

I'd turn all of the hoes to heterosexuals

smack conceited niggas right off their pedestool

I'd even look for my dad that I never knew

and show him how I look and my beretta too

I'd do good shit like take kids from the ghetto

and show them what they could have if they never settle

take every white kid from high class level

show them what christmas is like run up in the ghetto

teach niggas how to spend, stash the rest

give blunts to them niggas under massive stress

give every bum on the street cash to invest

and hope harlem world blow up

any last requests

(1 lox)

yo, if I had 24 hours to kick the bucket, fuck it

I'd probably eat some fried chicken,

and drink a Nantucket

then go get a job and grants, son

and make sure i leave my mother the money

to take care of grandson

load the 3 power, hop in the Eddie Beuer

and go give all 6 to that pop who sold me flouer

get a fresh Barbie, make a few calls

shop at the mall, shoot a little ball

have all of my bitches in one telly

at the same time spread it out on different floors

and I'm gonna play lotto, for what ?

even though I aint gonna be here tomorrow

so what, so what

(Black Rob)

You know when I was close to the ledge

id probably be in the west, with this bad Spanish mommy

right in between my legs, then im off to get coke

and smoke one of them dreads, get that bitch some 89

and whats up to the feds

thought of momma, wrote her a note

we aint close, dont like her boyfriend

so I'll put one in his throat

fuck around, sniff a ounce of raw

bust some (??), of course pull out my dick

and take a piss on the floor

jump in the whip, get them cats I wanted to get

since the tavern on the green robbery in 86'

went home took a shower, in ice cold water

and spend my last hours with my son and my daughter

(Puffy) CHORUS

if you had 24 hours to live just think

where would you go, what would you do

who would you screw?

and who would you wanna notify

or would your ass deny that yo ass about to die

(x2)

(2 Lox)

what, aiyo, if I had 24, nigga gotta get the raw

run all in popee's spot

put one in his head at the door

for the times that i payed for 20 and he gave me 12

the other 8 had to be baking soda by itself

so pappi fuck you, you dead now im off to the bank

with those bricks in a book bag, a stolen Jag I just grabbed

run in there, grab the bank teller with the pretty face,

fuck her in the safe, and have her take me to my place

?

for my son to have the same shit his pops just had

and when im down to 23, ima be strapped in TNT

run up in City Hall and take the judges with me

(3 Lox)

24 hours to live, I'd probably die on the 5th

run in the station squeezing the inf

i'be waitin' to get to hell and bust down Satan

styles on his shed, got (???)

back to the 24, im shoot niggas that i hate

in their face while they eatin'

on the job robbing every so called Don

give the money to my mom and tell her that I'm gone

i would school my little brother that niggas mean no harm

you should learn to tell the future without reading palms

when they come shootin bullets you prepared with the bomb

so fuck being violent, get stocks and bonds

(DMX)

24 left, until my death, I'm gonna waist alot of lives

but I'll cherish every breath

I already know where I'm going, but ima send you there 1st

and with the shit that I be doing, ima send you there worse

I been living with a curse, but now its all bout to end

bout before I go say hello to my little friend

but I gots to make it right, make at side with my mother

try to explain to my son, to my girl I love her

see (??) under the coat, snatch up my dog

turn three buildings of wallstreet into a fog

out with a bang you will remember my name

I wanted to live forever but this was a thang

Chorus
