[Hook: Truth Hurts] Do you ever think What life would be Where you will go After you die? [Verse 1: Rakim] Do you ever sit back and get a little too high Start thinking what happens to you when you die? Does your soul rest where your coffin is Or is d**h just a metamorphosis? Does life go on in the mental form If we live a good life will we get reborn? Is it a heaven or we trapped in hell? Where do we go from here, nobody came back to tell If we reincarnated or perish in time Could you shine when darkness inherits your mind? And your eyes closed for good, you out the galaxy now Is this subconscious dream my reality now? Listen to brain, with no physical frame Could we return to the hood on a spiritual plane? Ask yourself, If I pa** tonight Am I prepared for what's after life? (After you die) [Hook] [Verse 2: Rakim] Could we come back, do we get left in the past? f** that, I'mma kick d**h in the a** To come walk with the creator, 'til my mind is greater Get insight so I could design and find data 'Til my third eye gives me a bird's eye view Focus 'til my ghost is on a curb by you Watchin you mourn my d**h, like im lost in time But im with you even if I don't cross your mind When you pour out liquor, im catchin the Cognac When you pull out a spliff im catchin the contact Try to look after my people, that's trapped in evil Playin craps and c-low, to get gats and kilos And still do some of the things that I love to do Hang on the streets, throw it up in a club or two See women and catch'em in their wildest dreams Possess 'em, make'em do the wildest things And my peeps, what I'mma do, is pray that you blessed And my kids, keep'em away from the angel of d**h So just in case if I pa** tonight Yo, im prepared for what's after life. (After you die) [Hook]
