La Coka Nostra When I Die
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus x 2 ]
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?
[Verse 2]
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 f..cking 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 f..cking 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
[Chorus x 4]
[Verse 3]
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 f..cking 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
[Chorus x 2]
