JAY-Z lyrics : "If I Should Die"

(feat. Da Ranjahz (Half Dead & Mais))
[Jay-Z]
Come on...life...death...here...gone...Yo


If I should die don't cry my ^!$$%s
just ride my ^!$$%s bust bullets in the sky my ^!$$%s

And when I'm gone don't mourn my ^!$$%s
get on my ^!$$%s when it's real
say word to Shawn my ^!$$%s

If I should die [*echoes*]

Don't cry my ^!$$%s it's been one hell of a ride my ^!$$%s

in the middle of the trial I flip pies my ^!$$%s
I did joints with Mary J. Blige my ^!$$%s
I've 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 didn't fail
rhymes still written well hold court in the street
never sit in the cell for a second then I'm gettin' my bail

shoot it out with the bounty hunters $#&@
sittin' in the county for summers if they should down me
everybody around us become one for that day

to live life get your %#@! right & play
Don't get it twisted like rays if I miss that's ok
but life's short don't miss a day uhh


If I should die don't cry my ^!$$%s
just ride my ^!$$%s bust bullets in the sky my ^!$$%s

and when I'm gone don't mourn my ^!$$%s
get on my ^!$$%s when it's real
say word to Shawn my ^!$$%s

If I should die...

[Wais]

...don't cry my ^!$$%s
it's been one hell of a ride my ^!$$%s
say word to Wais my ^!$$%s

when I'm gone don't mourn my ^!$$%s
just keep gettin' it on my ^!$$%s
say word is bond my ^!$$%s


I got a lot to look back on in '88
got my crack on ten years later gettin' my rap on

gettin' 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 ain't mad

I must've smoked a ton of reefer sipped Coronas
with Latifah broke the code of Geneva
I know when I reach the other side I'ma see the

cat I had beef with who blood remains on my sneaker
then it's 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 I'll show him the time
that I waited to get paid tell him never be afraid

^!$$%s hearts pump Kool Aid and yo blood run thicker
never shed tears cry liquor my ^!$$%


If I die don't cry my ^!$$%s
it's been one hell of a ride my ^!$$%s
say word to Wais my ^!$$%s

when I'm gone don't mourn my ^!$$%s
just keep bangin' these songs my ^!$$%s
say word is bond my ^!$$%s

If I die...

[Half Dead]

...don't cry my ^!$$%s
just stay gettin' high my ^!$$%s
don't wonder why my ^!$$%s
when I'm gone live on my ^!$$%s
just follow my path my ^!$$%s

say word to Half my ^!$$%

I'm the aftermath of pleasure never die alone
born to live forever through life's struggles
I cut corners & took drastic measures

see you ^!$$%s 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 feelin' haunted ready to leave
this world that I'm lost in my only chance

to see the seeds I lost through abortion
when I'm gone y'all ^!$$%s better not mourn
keep flossin' as long as my name
lives on what's most important
I'll be down in hell scorchin' preparin' for life

afterlife still torchin' & blazin' these mics
It'd rain for 40 days & 40 nights
& I'd return on the 3rd like Christ
without my physical portion
my spirit a poltergeist for sure
I'll be back through the heist tomorrow

blood over y'all fake ^!$$%s door
What you thought? (huh)
What you thought? (^!$$%)

If I should die don't cry my ^!$$%s
just stay gettin' high my ^!$$%s
don't wonder why my ^!$$%s

when I'm gone live on my ^!$$%s
just follow my path my ^!$$%s
say word to Half my ^!$$%
When I die...
