Before I Die

Lord knows, Lord knows
Lord knows, only he knows
So many niggas say they true to you
Coward bitches
These niggas don't give a fuck about you
I know that
Realize that today though
But before I go
Oh yeah, cause I'm gon' go
No doubt
Gon' make this whole fuckin' world feel me
East, west, north, south
Everybody feel me
I don't give a fuck where you at
In the pen
Fuck that, you will feel me
You motherfuckers don't feel me
I'ma make you feel me
Your kids feel me, your mama
Your kids feel me
You gon' remember me
All the way through history
All the way through it

I'm standing on this corner, giving a fuck about one time
Got this serve on my mind, ready to get my pay on this fucking grind
I'm ready to let that bang go, just in case a fool let his nine go
Cause I ain't living like no fucking ho
I'ma split your wig and dance in your guts, bitch
And leave my name tattooed on your fucking nuts
I gives a fuck, cause my mama rent is two months behind
And if she miss another month, her shit is back on the grind
And in my life, shit gets no better never ever
Just the other day, received another sorry-ass letter
My little girl needs a new pair of tennis shoes
Cause tomorrow is my baby's first day of school
And when it comes to my baby girl
I gives a fuck about you bitches in this sorry-ass world
So if you got it, then I want it
If you flaunt it, I'ma take it
I gives a fuck if you never ever make it, bitch

Before I die, I'ma close my eyes and let them fly
If selling dope is the way I die, then let me die
Before I die, I'ma close my eyes and let them fly
If banging bitches is the way I die, then let me die
Before I die, I'ma close my eyes and let them fly
If jacking bitches is the way I die, then let me die
Before I die, nigga, before I die
I'ma sure 'nough put my fingers on the trigger

I'm sitting in the church pew
Reminiscing the pain I put my mama through
I'm thinking about the life I live and all the pain I used to give
I guess I'm giving back what the Lord gave me
When he took my daddy and my grandmother from me
Sent my daddy to them crossroads, made him sell his soul
Left his body cold and left my mama eyes swoll
From crying, watching her baby grow
In the same world that's got her man dying
That's why when I make it home, my mama kiss me on my jaw
Cause in my mama eyes, I'm still a little baby star
But to them fools in them streets
I'm running close to them bloody sheets
My relatives speak to me, smile in my face
But they don't like me, at times I wanna bang them
But if I do, you know I'm just like the rest of them
So I turn my back and leave them be
Get back to dealing with all this pain and misery inside of me

Before I die, I'ma close my eyes and let them fly
If jacking bitches is the way I die, then let me die
Before I die, nigga, before I die
I'ma sure 'nough put my fingers on the trigger
