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
Before you get caged, 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
Before you get caged, but you can't avoid the grave
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 cause I didn't have one in the pipe
Might go out like Raymond, went out on his bike
And die on a d**h mission, two tec's spittin'
No vest section from my chest missin'
Die cause the j**els in my necklace glisten
In a V twizzy in a wreckless collision
Or die in the streets over somethin' petty
Cause a broke a** n***a tryed ta say I a**ed bet 'em
Die from a shot from a cig war glock
>From a kid on the block while sittin' in the drop
Or die cause I was on, ain't see 'em comin'
Too late, eight shots got my body nummin'
Die for f**in' his b**h in his bed
Die cause 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 cause a n***a pulled his Rosco out quicker
I was high off vodka, hydro, and malt liquor
Die cause I knew I shoulda laid that man
Die cause the cops tricked me ta say that man
Die cause I hesitated ta spray that man
Die cause I hesitated ta pay that man
Die cause my man pa**ed me a empty tool
Die cause I panicked, I couldn't keep my cool
Die cause I mixed all them pills wit Hennessy
Or die cause them n***as in jail, envied me
Die tryin' ta steal the fate of my enemy
I could go out from a case of mistaken identity
Or die cause the door wasn't open, it was locked
Die cause the 4 was broken, it wouldn't co*k
Die cause a n***a wasn't focused on the block
Die cause them n***as thought tha coke was in the spot
Die cause another n***a said I said somethin'
Die cause that newsy b**h said I did somethin'
Die cause a n***a was tryin' ta get a name
Or die cause it was just my time ta feel the flame
Might get sparked, might not feel no pain
Or Might go out like dark-skinned Jermaine
Take a couple shots ta the heart, or ta 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
