We chapters of the same book, just a different page
n***as in the struggle all out ta get paid
Doin' what we gotta do to avoid the raid
Avoid the cage, but you can't avoid the grave
We chapters of the same book, just a different page
n***as in the struggle all out ta get paid
Doin' what we gotta do to avoid the raid
Avoid the cage, but you can't avoid the grave
[Beanie Sigel]
When you live by the sword, you die by the sword
I'll probablly die in the vocal booth spittin' out raw
Die on stage, rippin' down tours
Die from aids, trickin' out-a-town who*es
Die cuz I didn't have one in the pipe
Might go out like Raymond, went out on his bike
Or die on a d**h mission, two tech's spittin'
No vest, section from my chest missin'
Die cuz the j**els in my necklace glisten
In a V twizzy in a wreckless collision
Or die in the streets over somethin' petty
Cuz a broke a** n***a tryed ta say I a** bet 'em
Die from a shot from a sig or Glock
From a kid on the block while sittin' in the drop
Or die cuz I was on, ain't see 'em comin'
Too late, eight shots got my body numbin'
Die for f**in' his b**h in his bed
Die cuz a n***a thought I snitched ta the feds
Die wit a knife six inches in my head
I could die on d**h row, sentenced to the chair
Or die cuz a n***a pulled his Rosco out quicker
I was high off vodka, hydro, or malt liquor
Die cuz I knew I shoulda laid that man
Die cuz the cops tricked me ta say that man
Die cuz I hesitated ta spray that man
Die cuz I hesitated ta pay that man
Die cuz my man pa**ed me a empty tool
Die cuz I panicked, I couldn't keep my cool
Die cuz I mixed all them pills wit Hennessy
Or die cuz them n***as jel, they envyed me
Die tryin' ta steal the fate of my enemy
I could go out from a case of mistaken identity
Or die cuz the door wasn't open, it was locked
Die cuz the 4 was broken, it wouldn't pop
Die cuz a n***a wasn't focused on the block
Die cuz them n***as thought tha coke was in the spot
Die cuz another n***a said I said somethin'
Die cuz that newsy b**h said I did somethin'
Die cuz a n***a was tryin' ta get a name
Or die cuz it was just my time ta feel the flames
Might get sparked, might not feel no pain
Might go out like dark-skinned Jermaine
Take a couple shots ta the heart, taa the brain
Got all the dough, don't know the cost of the game
Young buck didn't wanna come off the chain
Couldn't handle the rock, got horsed in the game
I could catch a bad break like Big or Pac
I'd rather go out in the Masjid makin' Salat
