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?
