Lyrics
[Verse 1]
A coward dies a thousand deaths
A soldier dies but once
[Verse 2]
They say pussy and paper is poetry, power and pistols
Plotting on murdering motherfuckers 'fore they get you
Picturing pitiful punk ****, copping pleas
Puffin' weed as I position myself to clock G's
[Verse 3]
My enemies scatter in suicidal situations
Never to witness the wicked shit that they was facing
Pockets is packed with presidents, pursue your riches
Evading the player hating tricks, while hitting switches
[Verse 4]
Bitches is bad-mouth, 'cause brawling motherfuckers is bold
But ya'll some hoes, the games should be sewed
I'm sick of psychotic society, somebody save me
Addicted to drama, so even mama couldn't raise me
[Verse 5]
Even the preacher and all my teachers couldn't reach me
I run in the streets and puffin' weed wit my peeps
I'm ducking the cops, I hit the weed as I'm clutching my glock
**** is hot when I hit the block, what if I die 2nite?
[Verse 6]
If I die 2nite
If I die 2nite
If I die 2nite
Tonight's the night I get in some shit
[Verse 7]
Polishing pistols, prepare for battle, pass the pump
When I get to popping, **** is dropping then they done
Calling the coroner, come collect the fucking corpse
He got it by killer, preoccupied with being boss
[Verse 8]
Revenge is the method, whenever stepping keep a weapon close
Adversaries are overdosed, over deadly notes
Jealous **** and broke bitches, equal packed jails
Hit the block and fill your pockets making crack sales
[Verse 9]
Picture perfection, pursuing paper with a passion
Visions of prisons for all the pussies that I blasted
Running with criminals, individuals with no remorse
Try to stop me, my pistol posse's using deadly force
[Verse 10]
In my brain all I can think about is fame
The police know my name, a different game, ain't a thing changed
I'm seeing cemetery photos of my peers
Conversatin' like they still here, if I die 2nite
[Verse 11]
If I die 2nite
Scared to die ****
Is ya, huh?
If I die 2nite
Never fear
If I die 2nite
Tonight's the night I get in some shit
[Verse 12]
Pussy and paper is poetry, power, and pistols
Plotting on murdering motherfuckers 'fore they get you
Pray to the heavens three-fifty-sevens to the sky
And I hope I'm forgiven for thug living, when I die
[Verse 13]
I wonder if heaven got a ghetto for thug ****
A stress free life and a spot for drug dealers
Pissing while practicing how to pimp and be a player
Overdose of a dick, while drinking liquor when I lay her
[Verse 14]
Pistol whipping these simps, for being petrified and lame
Disrespecting the game, praying for punishment and pain
Going insane, never die, live eternal, who shall I fear?
Don't shed a tear for me, ****, I ain't happy here
[Verse 15]
I hope they bury me and send me to my rest
Headlines reading murdered to death, my last breath
Take a look, picture a crook on his last stand
Motherfuckers don't understand, if I die 2nite
[Verse 16]
****, if I die 2nite
No fear, ****
Never worry
If I die 2nite
Worry me a motherfuckin' G
Close casket, fuck it
And if I die 2nite
Tonight's the night I get in some shit
[Verse 17]
Kill, kill, kill
Murder, murder, murder
Kill, kill, kill
Murder, murder, murder
Kill, kill, kill
Murder, murder, murder
Tonight's the night I get in some shit
[Verse 18]
Kill, kill, kill
Murder, murder, murder
Kill, kill, kill
Murder, murder, murder
