I Don't Wanna Die

Gloomy days got my head twisted
Mystic visions of a razor blade
Cut my blunt with precision
Stuff it till it's bustin'

Sippin' on some Tussin'
Imagine it, gothic hustlin'
Men tusslin', women fussin'
And they babies in the corner cryin'

Young niggaz bang and they ain't afraid of dyin'
Pistol keepers, mobile phones and beepers
Cars and hoes, and plenty dust for the geekers
Me, I'm a break beater, microphone eater

Weed leader, sizzlin' like a fajita
But it's so hard for me to stay out the streets
Behind tint blowin' cheap, fuckin' with freaks
What kinda role model, I'ma be?

Don't get it twisted
Gifted, linguistic graphic and realistic
God, deliver me from harm and arm me with
Sense enough to know when to quit

I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die
(Lord, forgive me for the anger that I feel today)
I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die

Thinkin' about what my eyes witnessed
Thinkin' about what my kids gon' see
When they get grown and independent
What you doin' baby?

18, strippin' daily
A small ass apartment, tryin' to flip a Mercedes
I don't knock shit, unless you a fiend
Tryin' to hock shit, protectin' myself
I gotta grab the gock and pop shit

I guess that's the problem with the world today
(What?)
Black, white, Asian, so many people think this way
Fuck with me and I'll shoot ya
We live in, what used to be the space age, future

To acid droppin' hippies, now they run the country
Drug smugglin' with my tax money
Bomb makers, nuclear, death creators
White power, skin head, Jew and nigga haters

All of this, plus I gotta watch the nigga next door
What you think I pray for, man

I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die
(Lord, forgive me for the anger that I feel today)
I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die

Life ain't nothin' but preparation for the angels
And the demons that we all gon' face when
The soul and the body separate, that's death
Nothin' left but darkness, after your last breath

Well, all of that shit is in the past enjoy it
While you got it, cause you can't take it with your ass
Where I'm from, any day can be your last
That's why them thug niggaz live life hard and fast

Slowdown and find yourself surrounded by the lowdown
Unaware, a showdown's about to go down
Why we gotta clown instead of bein' kinfolks
Why do white folks, think all we know is sellin' dope?

Some can't cope and got out hangin' from a rope
Slit wrists, found shakin' from an overdose
Tupac and Biggie got they life snatched away
Nobody knows when they gotta go, mayne

I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die
(Lord, forgive me for the anger that I feel today)
I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die

That's all baby, you never know when you gotta go
Deaths around the corner, you're nobody
Till somebody kills you but I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die, hey, I don't wanna die
Can you hear me? I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die

Die
Die
Die
