Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Die ****, we are born to die ****
You've been dyin' for 400 years
**** know how to die
**** don't know nothin' else, but dying
**** dream about dying
[Verse 2]
I'm a motherfuckin' **** (With an attitude)
I'm a motherfuckin' **** (With an attitude)
I'm a motherfuckin' **** (With an attitude)
I'm a motherfuckin' **** (With an attitude)
[Verse 3]
I got a case, of spittin' in a motherfucker'sĀ face
So me and my ace, we got a taste
Of a motherfucker'sĀ billy club, he took his gun and
Put it to my head and said, **** start runnin'
So tell me, what's the next episode?
Is he crazy, does he want to chase me or waste me?
I thought, run **** run, but I caught myself
Because my secondary thought was death
I kept head, heart real, but still, motherfucker said
I want another black motherfuckerĀ dead
**** ain't good for shitĀ to me
'Cause it's a race for second class, so get your ass
Up against the wall, bitch, and then he tried
To jump me but the punk became a victim of a walk by
Fuckin' with Dre, you get a foot up in your asshole
It's just another way to let you know
**** send them, **** send them, **** send them
Punk can't fuck with me, real motherfucking G
Straight from the streets of the CPT
Telling you why real **** don't die
[Verse 4]
I,Ā just want to celebrate
I, just want to celebrate
[Verse 5]
Real **** don't die cause they eventually multiply
The **** I'm with, they take an eye for an eye
Because the times are so wrong, gotta stay so strong
**** gotta keep it goin' on and on
And don't let no paleface throw your ass in a snail race
Have your residence occupyin' a jail space
That's what they want to do cause the system is fucked around
I try to let you know with the records that's underground
They don't give a fuck about a ****, they would rather pull the trigger
And have you in front of a barrel smilin sayin', Cheese
So **** get smart and rebel back
I'm not with that black shit, so I'm not gonna yell that
All I see is **** gettin' harassed
And can't do nothin' about it but get a foot in they ass, yo
But if every **** grabbed a nine
And started shootin' motherfuckers, it would put 'em in line
And that's how it's supposed to be
When a pussy-ass **** try to fuck with me
Yo, because it's useless to try
To kill a **** 'cause ****, a motherfuckin' real **** don't die
[Verse 6]
I, just want to celebrate
I, just want to celebrate
[Verse 7]
Die ****, everywhere you go
**** dying, **** been dyin for 400 years
[Verse 8]
I'm a motherfuckin' **** (With an attitude)
[Verse 9]
Only the good die young, so that makes me young and bad
Puttin' ass kickings on the **** that never had
So I guess that makes me tough shit
Straight up gangsta, wrong **** to fuck with
So how can a **** die when he's causin' the bloodshed
By shootin' motherfuckers in the head?
Tryin' to make a **** extinct because they fear me
But never wanna hear me
So I'ma let 'em know how a ****'s livin'
Takin' from motherfuckers 'cause ain't nobody givin' a damn thang
To a ****, a real ****
So I'm living by the motherfuckin' trigger
'Cause a **** ain't afraid of bein' locked up
I'm out of luck, so why should I give a fuck?
But they still want to try
To kill a **** like me, but motherfuckin' real **** don't die
[Verse 10]
I, just want to celebrate (Yeah, tell 'em you don't wanna die)
I, just want to celebrate (A real **** don't die)
I, just want to celebrate (Yeah, motherfuckers)
I, just want to celebrate
