Testo If I Should Die - JAY-Z feat. Da Ranjahz
Testo della canzone If I Should Die (JAY-Z feat. Da Ranjahz), tratta dall'album Vol.2 ... Hard Knock Life
Life... death... here... gone
Yo, if I should die, don't cry, my niggas
Just ride, my niggas, bust bullets in the sky, my niggas
And when I'm gone, don't mourn, my niggas
Get on, my niggas, when it's real, say word to Shawn, my niggas
If I should die... don't cry, my niggas
It's been one hell of a ride, my niggas
In the middle of a drought, I flipped pies, my niggas
I did joints with Mary J. Blige, my niggas
I eluded the coppers, got booted with Big Poppa
Skated through with the Caesar picadas
In 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 a cell
For a second, then I'm gettin' my bail
Shoot it out with the bounty hunters
Fuck sittin' in the county for summers
If they should down me, everybody around us become one
For that day to live life, get your shit right and play
Don't get it twisted like braids, if I'm missed, it's okay
But life's short, don't miss a day
If I should die, don't cry, my niggas
Just ride, my niggas, bust bullets in the sky, my niggas
And when I'm gone, don't mourn, my niggas
Get on, my niggas, when it's real, say word to Shawn, my niggas
If I should die, don't cry, my niggas
It's been one hell of a ride, my niggas, say word to Wais, my niggas
When I'm gone, don't mourn, my niggas
Just keep gettin' it on, my niggas, say word is bond, my niggas
I got a lot to look back on, in '88, got my crack on
Ten years later, gettin' my rap on
Gained shorties like a thespian
Had an episode with two lesbians, got a fetish for that
Drunk ginseng with Japanese chicks and pulled the root out
Squeezed 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 mans 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'd live my life through my son and tell him never have a friend
Just family, reincarnated, I'll shorten the time
That I waited to get paid, tell him never be afraid
Niggas hearts pump Kool-Aid and your blood run thicker
Never shed tears, cry liquor, my nigga
If I die, don't cry, my niggas
It's been one hell of a ride, my niggas, say word to Wais, my niggas
When I'm gone, don't mourn, my niggas
Just keep bangin' these songs, my niggas, say word is bond, my niggas
If I die, don't cry, my niggas
Just stay gettin' high, my niggas, don't wonder why, my niggas
When I'm gone, live on, my niggas
Just follow my path, my niggas, say word to Half, my niggas
I'm the aftermath of pleasure, never die alone, born to live forever
Through life's struggles, I cut corners and took drastic measures
Seen niggas 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 niggas 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' and blazin' these mics
It'll rain for forty days and forty nights
And I'll return on the third like Christ (Without my physical portion)
My spirit a poltergeist for sure
I'll be back through the Heights tomorrow
Blood over y'all fake niggas' door
What you thought, huh? What you thought, nigga?
If I should die, don't cry, my niggas
Just stay gettin' high, my niggas, don't wonder why, my niggas
When I'm gone, live on, my niggas
Just follow my path, my niggas, say word to Half, my niggas
When I die, don't cry, my niggas
It's been one hell of a ride, my niggas, say word to Wais, my niggas
When I'm gone, don't mourn, my niggas
Just keep gettin' it on, my niggas, say word is bond, my niggas
If I die, don't cry, my niggas
Just ride, my niggas, bust bullets in the sky, my niggas
And when I'm gone, don't mourn, my niggas
Get on, my niggas, when it's real, say word to Shawn, my niggas
If I should die
I'd tell BIG they're still hearin' his songs
Run into Pac, ask him where we went wrong
Tell him life is miserable when you're dealin' in the physical form
Is everything that's invisible gone? I need to know
Will I still feel pain? Or will it be ironic?
Will I chill in the flames for all the ills in my brain?
Can I re-veal the game to all the hustlers trapped in the race?
And if so, can I leave this place?
Can I puff cigars and drink Cristal?
Is this is Heaven to me? Is this considered heavenly?
Can I still touch lives? Answer they whats and whys?
Make sure everybody in my fam' clutch five?
