Gloomy days got my head twisted,
mystic visions
Of a razor blade cut my
blunt with precision
Stuff until it's bustin,
sippin on some tussin
Imagine it, gothic hustlin',
men tusslin'
Women fussin' and their babies
in the corner cryin'
Young niggas bang and they
ain't afraid of dyin'
Pistol keepers,
mobile phones and beepers
Cars and hoes and plenty
dust for the geekers
Me, I'm a break beater,
microphone heater
Weed leader, sizzlin' like a fajita
But it's so hard for me
to stay out the streets
Behind tip, blowin' cheap,
fuckin' with freaks
What kind of role model
I'ma be?
Don't get it twisted
Gifted, linguistic, graphic and realistic
God, deliver me from harm
and arm me with
Sense enough to know when to quit
I don't wanna die
Uh
I don't wanna die
Lord forgive me for the anger
that I feel today
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
Thinkin' about what my
eyes witnessed
Thinkin' about what my kids gon' see
When they get grown
and independent
What you doin', baby?
Eighteen, strippin' daily
A small -ass apartment, tryna flip a
Mercedes
I don't knock shit unless you a fiend
Tryna hock shit, protectin' myself
I gotta grab the
Glock and pop shit I guess that's
the problem with the world today
Black, white,
Asian, so many people think this way
Fuck with me and our future,
we living what used to be the space age future
To acid dropping hippies,
now they run the country
Drug smuggling with my tax money
Bar makers, nuclear death creators
White power skinheads, you a nigga haters
All of this plus I gotta watch
the nigga next door
What you think I pray for man,
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
Lord, forgive me for the anger that
I feel today I don't want to die
I don't want to die
Life ain't nothin' but preparation
For the angels and the demons
that we all gon' face when
The soul and the body separate,
that's death
Nothin' left but darkness
After your last breath, well,
all of that shit is in the past
Enjoy it while you got it, cause
you can't take it with your ass
Where I'm from,
any day could be your last
That's why them thug niggas
live life hard and fast
Slow down and find yourself
surrounded by the lowdown
Unaware, a showdown's
about to go down
Why we got a clown instead
of being kinfolk?
Why do white folks think all we know
is sellin' dope?
Some can't cope and go
out hangin' from a rope
Slit wrists, found shakin'
from a overdose
Tupac and
Biggie got they life snatched away
Nobody knows when they gotta go
Man, I don't wanna die, yeah,
uh I don't wanna die
Lord, forgive me for the anger
that I feel today
I don't wanna die I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
That's all, baby
Never know where you gotta go
Death's around the corner
You're nobody till somebody kills you
But I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
Hey, I don't wanna die
Can you hear me?
I don't wanna die I don't wanna die
I don't want to die
you
