Lord knows(lord knows), lord knows, only he knows
So many ^!$$%s say they true to you,

coward (*##$es, these ^!$$%s don't give a $#&@ about chu',
I know that,hmm,(really they'll tell ya though)
but before I go,

oh yeah cause I'm gon' go,
no doubt I'mma make this whole $#&@in' world feel me
,east, west, north, everybody, south,

I don't give a $#&@ where,(if youdon't feel me),
in the pen, $#&@ that you will feel me,
you mother$#&@ers don't feel me I'mma make you feel me,

yo' kids feel me, yo grandkids feel me, yo momma,
yo daddy, you gon' remember me mother$#&@er,
all the way through history mother$#&@er,

all the way through




I'm standing on this corner giving a $#&@ about one-time
Got this serve on my mind ready to get my pay on this $#&@in' grind

I'm ready to let that bang go
Just in case some fool let his nine go
Cause I ain't living like no $#&@ing ho'

I'mma split cho' wig and dance in your guts (*##$
And leave my named tattooed on yo $#&@in' nuts
I gives a $#&@, cause my momma rent is two months behind

And if she miss anotha' month, her %#@! is back on the grind
And in my life %#@! gets no better
Never ever, just today received anotha' sorry $$# letter

My lil' girl needs a new pair of tennis shoes
Cause tomorrow is my baby's first day of school
And when it comes to my baby girl

I gives a $#&@ about you (*##$es in this sorry $$# world
So if you got it then I want it
If you flaunt it i'mma take it

I gives a $#&@ if you never ever make it (*##$



Before I die i'mma close my eyes and let em' fly
If selling dope is the way I die then let me die
Before I die i'mma close my eyes and let em' fly

If bangin' (*##$es is the way I die then let me die
Before I die i'mma close my eyes and let em' fly
If jackin' (*##$es is the way I die then let me die

Before I die ^!$$%,
before i die i'mma sho'nuff put my fingers on the trigger



I'm sittin' in the church pew
Reminiscing the pain I put my momma through

I'm thinking about the life I live
And all the pain I use to give
I guess I'm giving back what the lord gave me

When he took my daddy and my grandmother from me
Sent my daddy to dem' crossroads
Made em' sell his soul

Left his body cold
And left my momma eyes swole
>From cryin', watching her baby grow

In the same world that got her man dying
Thats why when I make it home my momma kiss me on my jaw
Cause in my momma eyes I'm still a lil' baby star

But to these fools in dem' streets
I'm runnin' close to dem' bloody sheets
My relatives speak to me, smile in my face

But they don't like me, at times I wanna' bang em'
But if I do you know I'm just like the rest of em'
So I turn my back and leave em' be

Get back to dealin' with all this pain and misery inside of me

Before I die i'mma close my eyes and let em' fly

If jackin' (*##$es is the way I die then let me die
Before I die ^!$$%,
before i die i'mma sho'nuff put my fingers on the trigger
