[Intro]
What's happnen man
This TIP you know
I like to dedicate this song to anybody who done eva lost somebody
To the grave, to the streets, to the jail cell
I done been in situations where I had to cope with all three you know what i'm sayin
I feel like the only thing I aint done yet was die you know
But it aint how I live while I'm here
It's how I live When I leave
[Chorus]
Life's up and downs they come and go
But when I die I hope I live in the sky
all my folks who aint alive i hope they live in the sky
Pray to god that when i die i'll live in the sky
It's true what goes aroun comes back you know
So when i die hope will live in the sky
All my folks who ain't survive hope they live in the sky
Tell God i wanna fly let me live in tne sky
[Verse 1]
My cousin two aint have to die right in front of his son and his wife
He lost his life struggling over a gun
Give a damn what he done
That's my mothaf**in folk
And I love that n***a to d**h no mothaf**in joke
I can feel my eyes feelin the Lord is my witness
If i catch 'em ima k** em and made it my business
Back in the day ya stayed in my business
Taught me I aint have to corporate yay in my business
Coincedently that's why today ya not wit me
My cousin died over some yay and i miss em
Plus he at his family house
Let's say she the eye witness
But her boyfriend did the shootin judge gave em a life sentence
I heard dat now I'm dressed up in all black
Shot up the whole apartments he still aint brought back
The best friend I eva had in tramell I lost that
Guess ya d**h was a lesson in life it taught me that
[chorus]
[verse 2]
Ya eva seen a n***a go to jail and sleep till day 2
Well that's how sick I was when J grew
Found out the hard way that wasn't powder they was tootin
Overdosed on heron died at age 22
If you aint heard about ya daughter she smile just like you
So cute even resorts to violence like you
You know your baby momma loose but hah what can you do
And i got 4 myself yeah it's been a few
Now everything I do is for king, messiah, Dazja and Domoni tell the Lord they all i got so please don't take em from me from me standin in the
trap wit currying a sir cap
Laughin at the n***as who serve with no strap
Tell them n***as man ya'll trippin wit no maps
Get robbed and ask to borrow my pistol ain't no hap
Me you the crew just fell out over doe and a little crack
Neva could apolagize you died that's why you say that
[chorus]
[verse 3]
I bet you n***as think i'm livin it up
Till you see polices laughin as they pickin me up
Went from seein how many b**hes i can fit in the truck
To three hots on in a cot
Is you kiddin or what
f** how many millions i got n***a so what if i'm high
When i got prices on my head feds rushin my spot
A million haters want me dead force to carry a gat
But you's a seven time felon what you doin wit dat
This a catch 22 eitha you lose or you lose
that's the way the game structured from real n***as that suffa and i aint neva been a busta always stood on my feet
Like a man prepared to take whateva comin for me
A p**y n***a or polices with a warrant for me
I'm a G prepared to die for what's important to me
Look any body in the eyes who say he want it wit me
Put up the house and and bet the odds if it's comin for me
O.G says i need to learn to be patient
You tellin me wit these 7 years of prohbation
Pistol charges and a host of other open cases
If n***as only knew the kind of i was facin
I try to keep it to myself but times i couldn't take it
Got 4 kids the smiles on the faces
Mean mo to me than my crown and my braclets
Take that away from me and my life is but naked
[chorus]
