[Jay-Z]
Come on...life...death...here...gone...Yo
If I should die donīt cry my niggas
just ride my niggas bust bullets in the sky my niggas
And when Iīm gone donīt mourn my niggas
get on my niggas when itīs real
say word to Shawn my niggas
If I should die [*echoes*]
Donīt cry my niggas itīs been one hell of a ride my niggas
in the middle of the trial I flip pies my niggas
I did joints with Mary J. Blige my niggas
Iīve eluded the coppers got booted with Big Poppa
Skated through with the Ceasar Picadas
At high school got head by the lockers
gassed the baddest girl in the class to show me her knockers
rocked jewels dropped school still didnīt fail
rhymes still written well hold court in the street
never sit in the cell for a second then Iīm gettinī my bail
shoot it out with the bounty hunters fuck
sittinī in the county for summers if they should down me
everybody around us become one for that day
to live life get your shit right & play
Donīt get it twisted like rays if I miss thatīs ok
but lifeīs short donīt miss a day uhh
If I should die donīt cry my niggas
just ride my niggas bust bullets in the sky my niggas
and when Iīm gone donīt mourn my niggas
get on my niggas when itīs real
say word to Shawn my niggas
If I should die...
[Wais]
...donīt cry my niggas
itīs been one hell of a ride my niggas
say word to Wais my niggas
when Iīm gone donīt mourn my niggas
just keep gettinī it on my niggas
say word is bond my niggas
I got a lot to look back on in ī88
got my crack on ten years later gettinī my rap on
gettinī shorties like a thespian
had an episode with two lesbians got a fetish for that
drunk ginseng with Japanese chicks & pulled the root out
squeeze my whole clip to survive shootouts
been on both coasts fired all kinds of heat
probably be kinda glad to leave these mean streets
I got dead mens to meet and questions to fulfill
like is that mystery God real?
and how was Kennedy killed? I ainīt mad
I mustīve smoked a ton of reefer sipped Coronas
with Latifah broke the code of Geneva
I know when I reach the other side Iīma see the
cat I had beef with who blood remains on my sneaker
then itīs on again if I could be born again
I live my life through my son
and tell him never have a friend
just family reincarnated Iīll show him the time
that I waited to get paid tell him never be afraid
niggas hearts pump Kool Aid and yo blood run thicker
never shed tears cry liquor my nigga
If I die donīt cry my niggas
itīs been one hell of a ride my niggas
say word to Wais my niggas
when Iīm gone donīt mourn my niggas
just keep banginī these songs my niggas
say word is bond my niggas
If I die...
[Half Dead]
...donīt cry my niggas
just stay gettinī high my niggas
donīt wonder why my niggas
when Iīm gone live on my niggas
just follow my path my niggas
say word to Half my nigga
Iīm the aftermath of pleasure never die alone
born to live forever through lifeīs struggles
I cut corners & took drastic measures
see you niggas life expire right in front of me
time could never mend what these cold streets
mentally done to me too often I close my eyes
and see my own coffin feelinī haunted ready to leave
this world that Iīm lost in my only chance
to see the seeds I lost through abortion
when Iīm gone yīall niggas better not mourn
keep flossinī as long as my name
lives on whatīs most important
Iīll be down in hell scorchinī preparinī for life
afterlife still torchinī & blazinī these mics
Itīd rain for 40 days & 40 nights
& Iīd return on the 3rd like Christ
without my physical portion
my spirit a poltergeist for sure
Iīll be back through the heist tomorrow
blood over yīall fake niggas door
What you thought? (huh)
What you thought? (nigga)
If I should die donīt cry my niggas
just stay gettinī high my niggas
donīt wonder why my niggas
when Iīm gone live on my niggas
just follow my path my niggas
say word to Half my nigga
When I die...
