(Verse 1)
How you feel, you treated him bad and now he k**ed
A relationship was all that he ever tried to build
Obviously he never crossed the thought that it's not for real
As far as he was concerned in his heart you was his father still
But it's a shame how you chose about going through long spurts
Of leaving him alone even knowing it's gone hurt
Never played ball with him or helped with his homework
Not until you read that note written in his own words
That you realized that you might have hit the wrong nerve
A cloned version of your father that treated you wrong first
But now you see the result, Both you and I know
The outcome could have been better than a suicide note
But naw, during times you often crucify hope
That was your choice to go and be a foolish pop so
He's gone and you can't stop the tears coming from your eyes
Since you picked up that letter which read "Before I Die...."
(Hook)
(Suicide) I wanted you to take a look in my eyes
(Suicide) Try finding all this pain that I hide
(Suicide) Try to feel what I'm feeling inside
(Suicide) Because now all I can say is I tried, Goodbye, (Suicide)
(Verse 2)
Sometimes it hurt me even seeing the young brother
And how disobedient he can be to his own mother
By the way he used to act, you would think he don't love her
But he is young maybe he thinking she don't suffer
He telling her he hate her, even cursing her out
Selling d** on the corner, always sneaking out the house
She let him know about the streets, didn't wait for him to fail
But he ain't gone realize until they place him in a cell
One night he came home tip toeing through the door
In the kitchen, where he saw his mama laying on the floor
Panic mode, called 911 to let them know
Checked her pulse, told him something that he wasn't ready for
Now he crying after he had realized what he done
Didn't even get a chance to say goodbye to his mom
And he can't stop the tears coming from his eyes
Since he picked up that letter which read "Before I Die...."
(Hook) 1x
(Verse 3)
You had the best girlfriend that you could ever have
The only time she get to smile is when she thinking about the past
Feeling like you put her last, she going through hard living
When she try to talk to you all you do is start tripping
To tell that she hurting you ain't got to be a psychic
She fighting for your love and right now it is a riot
You love her but don't show it, at least you can do is try it
Even gave her a child and had the nerve to deny it
Now he ready for commitment, them ways are falling back
Rode to her house, now he wonder where her car was at
Hit her up, she ain't answer, she ain't even calling back
Wonder where his woman at, he finna have a heart attack
Shocked by what he seen (seen) a couple days later (later)
That she pa**ed away, saw her face in the paper
And for weeks he couldn't stop the tears coming from his eyes
Found a letter in her ride which read...,
Found a letter in her ride which read "Before I Die...."
(Hook) 1x
