Plies - Can't Let Em Bury Me lyrics

[Chorus:] I can't let 'em bury me (I can't let 'em bury me) I can't let 'em bury me (I can't let 'em bury me) I rather be judged by twenty than carried by six Before I let somebody take me out round this b**h I can't let 'em bury me (I can't let 'em bury me) I can't let 'em bury me (I can't let 'em bury me) OK, if you agree what I'm living mind on the edge Is a difference, out here between bein smart and scared A lot of n******gs they thought they were sharp that wind up dead And as young n******gs I learn if u slipping den u wear it If you're wild, then you think about sh** before you say it It's a certain type of n******g that shouldn't know where you're staying And talk real but down we call that sh** a spread And a n******g to whack yo a** we call that puttin it on yo head Remember pops said I take this war sh** deeply I close my eyes sometimes, and ask God I hope you keep me To fear none to trust none nobody had to teach me Define friends and love and these streets ain't what I'm seeking Cause I ain't gonna let nan n******g hurt me I rather do you, for I let you do me [Chorus:] I can't let 'em bury me (I can't let 'em bury me) I can't let 'em bury me (I can't let 'em bury me) I rather be judged by twenty than carried by six Before I let somebody take me out round b**h I can't let 'em bury me (I can't let 'em bury me) I can't let 'em bury me (I can't let 'em bury me) I'm living in a world where I ain't make up the rules And the enemies turn up to be the people you knew. The n******gs ya'll ain't thanking the ones you most approve If you're making it, you do it, depends on how you move. Who play around yuh most you thought was cool The n******gs I watch the closest, the one I'm closest to Their flag is in there face and that one if only knew And if you think that sh** a game out here that's when you lose. This war won't let nobody, if you don't believe that, you're a fool When n******gs get bread, they get confident, and they lose More money, more problems, ya'll done heard that sh** before No modesty no problem you ain't got there, you know! A n******g once told me they can't make everything count Cause if a n******g catch you foolin he gone take your a** out [Chorus:] I can't let 'em bury me (I can't let 'em bury me) I can't let 'em bury me (I can't let 'em bury me) I rather be carried by twelve than carried by six Before I let somebody take me out round dis b**h I can't let 'em bury me (I can't let 'em bury me) I can't let 'em bury me (I can't let 'em bury me) Ain't nobody gonna make me talk cause my nutts I'm a let 'em hang! They lost a lot of my n******gs, but I guess it's part of the game! Try to explain it to their mommas, that sh** is hard to explain All the motion and the stress in these streets it will let you drain When you're living it, you're breathing out here, don't feel your pain But when you're dead and your gone they're treat you like you was a saint Most people, when the pressure get on, they go in the tank It's a sad situation to be out here n can't think Cause sh** can't get ugly, my n******g before you blank And I'm a blow it off for my n******gs before I drain That's why when I wake up in the morning I give thanks Cause it's a lot of n******gs that wanted to wake up, but they can't Cause ain't gonna let 'em n******gs hurt me I rather do you before I let you do me! [Chorus:] I can't let 'em bury me (I can't let 'em bury me) I can't let 'em bury me (I can't let 'em bury me) I rather be carried by twelve than carried by six Before I let somebody take me, I ride this b**h I can't let 'em bury me (I can't let 'em bury me) I can't let 'em bury me (I can't let 'em bury me)
