"If I Die" Persecuted by the world All I want is my baby girl In my arms braided up on pretty curls Keep the fame and the fortune I don't need it Is to many out there wanna see me bleedin As I wake up stuck in time In this place people loose they f**en mind I see shadows in the night of demons dancing Most penitentiaries overseen by clansmen Stay strong even though it's hard Keep my head up and stay close to GOD I see friends I knew back in school They ain't the same covered up in tattoos In the land of the free I'm forever known Look up at the sky and pretend I'm home Dear Lord I know you got a plan for me But I'd rather be at home with my family [HOOK x2] If I die momma don't loose your mind Stay strong the world don't accept my kind I was born hate free always been different It's hard to stay alive when you're brown and gifted I understand it in due time my life is going to slide behind The curtain of uncertainty the pearly gates to the fire Cuz I'm a rambling man, a gambling man So when the sh** hits the fan my plan is to stand as a man My canvas is bland painted the perfect picture But my tears made the paint run; I need an eraser but sh** ain't one The critics looking at the picture saying it feels dark But you critickin my art baby is still art I know some people that respect me for me I know some people that neglect me for me And so it pans out so now when I pa** And the last of my breath has been breathed at ease Momma don't cry for me I'm watching over you I'm still doing the same thing your son is opposed to do So if you love me love me and everything is fine We're gonna reunite in the sky and do time [HOOK] I tried to tell you that these motherf**ers wanted my soul Hate me till I'm dead and gone but in love with my dough As they listen to my cd that they got from somebody I can't believe that he is saying this in custody Doesn't he realize we got him right were we want him I was warned by a prisoner they'll be coming Can you imagine life without rats That back stab their own to try get were they at? I made millions but felt I was never rich How can greed make people be so devilish? I wrote a book entitled they can't stop Took about 20 pens and a lot of coffee They hit me up with some years and a small fine It's gonna be the greatest comeback of all time And all I got left is true fans Cuz my horoscope said that my b**h found a new man [HOOK x2]
