The Lox - 24 Hours to Live lyrics

[Intro - Puff Daddy] I want you to ask yourself one question If you had 24 hours to live, what would you do? That's some deep sh** right there, a lot of pressure How would you handle it? Mase, what would you do? [Verse 1 - Mase] Yo, I'd turn out all the hoes that's heteros**ual Smack conceited n***as right off the pedestal I'd even look for my dad that I never knew And show him how I look in my Beretta, too I'd do good sh** like take kids from the ghetto Show them what they could have if they never settle Take every white kid from high cla** level Show 'em what Christmas like growin' up in the ghetto Teach n***as how to spend, stack the rest Give blunts to the n***as under ma**ive stress Give every bum on the street cash to invest And hope Harlem will blow up be my last request [Verse 2 - Jadakiss] Yo, yo if I had twenty four hours to kick the bucket, f** it I'd probably eat some fried chicken and drink a Nantucket Then go get a jar from Branson And make sure I leave my mother the money to take care of grandson Load the three power, hop in the Eddie Bauer And go give all six to that papi that sold me flour Get a fresh baldy, make a few calls Shop at the mall, shoot a lil' ball Have all of my b**hes on one telly at the same time Spread it out on different floors And I'm gonna play lotto, for what? Even though I ain't gonna be here tomorrow, so what [Verse 3 - Black Rob] You know when I was close to the ledge I'd probably be in the wedge With this bare Spanish mami playin' 'tween my legs Then I'm off to get choke and smoke one of them dreads And get that b**h from '89 that gave us up to the feds Thought of momma, wrote her a note, we ain't close I hate her boyfriend so I put one in his throat f** around and sniff an ounce of raw, bust the four Pause, pull out my dick and take a piss on the floor Jump in the whip, get them cats I wanted to get Since the Tavern on the Green robbery in '86 Went home took a shower in ice cold water And spent my last hours with my son and my daughter [Hook - Puff Daddy] If you had 24 hours to live just think Where would you go? What would you do? Who would you screw? And who would you wanna notify? Or would your a** deny that your a** about to die? [Hook] [Verse 4 - Sheek] What hey yo, if I had 24 n***a gotta get the raw Run all them papis' spot, put one in his head at the door For the times that I paid for twenty and he gave me twelve The other eight had to be baking soda by itself So papi f** you, you dead now, I'm off to the bank With those bricks in a book bag and a stolen Jag I just grabbed Went in there grabbed the bank teller with the pretty face f** her in the safe, and have her take me to my place We'll make a kid but that's selfish and that'll be bad For my son to have the same sh** his pops just had And when I'm down to 23, I'mma be strapped with TNT Run up in city hall and take the judges with me [Verse 5 - Styles] If I had 24 hours to live, I'd probably die on the fifth Run in the station squeezin' the inf' I'll be waitin' to get to hell and bust down Satan Styles on this sh** and I got spot vacant Back to the 24 I make it out the precinct Shootin' n***as that I hate in they face while they eatin' I'm on the job robbin' every so-called Don Give the money to my moms and tell her that I'm gone I would school my little brother that n***as mean him harm He should learn to tell the future without readin' palms When they come in with the bullets, you prepared with the bomb So f** bein' violent get stocks and bonds [Verse 6 - DMX] 24 left until my d**h So I'm gonna waste a lot of lives, but I'll cherish every breath I know exactly where I'm goin', but I'mma send you there first And with the sh** that I'll be doin', I'mma send you there worse I've been livin' with a curse, and now it's all about to end But before I go, say hello to my little friend But I gots to make it right, reconcile with my mother Try to explain to my son, tell my girl I love her C-4 up under the coat, snatch up my dog Turn like three buildings on Wall Street, into a fog Out with a bang, you will remember my name I wanted to live forever, but this wasn't fame [Hook]
