Take Me Alive

[Intro]

What's your process now, like what's the motivation now?

Like before, you know the motivation was like your man a..a..and you know

God bless the day man, you pop

[?]

You just know I can't go back

When I started this shit, I was just doing this shit for my hood (for real)

Not realized I could take over the whole world doing this shit, you know

[Verse 1: Don Q]

Yeah, uh

I promised they'll never take me alive

All the jealousy is making me strive

I was made to survive

Pop a pill start chasing my high

Blow a dub for my nigga ‘cause he’s facing a dime

Young nigga living like it’s do or die

He doing time and never finished junior high

They put him through that dirty system you can lose your mind

Move aside cause he known to carry his tool with pride

Now who am I

Just a nigga that was on the corner sellin', with wanted felons

It was all a lesson, now I use my thoughts as weapons

And I got tired of seeing my mama work like she Florida Evans

So I flew her out to Florida and I bought a section

Street niggas we just living like there's not tomorrow

Dirty pistols, we stole from stolen car, who thought we'll go this far

I was saving crack money for them new J's

Now I'm spending house money on the new chain

Cupid got that matte black Benz he think he Bruce Wayne

Jewels hang, come around and I make niggas mood change

Sippin' so much red it started to give my tooth stains

Peelin' in and out of two lanes, take off the poop[?] brain

Nigga who y'all know better than Don, riddle me that

They know where I'm lyrically at

Listen, I mix the lean the percs that's my energy pack

Catch me wearin' the same clothes I still live like I trap

I just bought my mama presents, I got a designer fetish

I don't take it for granted, make sure every dollar cherish

Put the nickel on the fabric and I got a lotta karats

I just been sippin' like a addict

Flying in and out of Paris, what's up

[Chorus: Don Q]

I promised they never take me alive

I promised they never take me alive

[Verse 2: Styles P & Jadakiss]

I promised they'll never take me alive

Walk in the Beamer dealer take me a 5

Walk in the gun range take me a .9

Walk in the dope spot take me a dime

Walk in the bookie spot and take me a line

We hoppin' off the jet in Japan, fuck Bape up

Cashmere skully on top of the mean shape up

You ain't gon' be happy 'til they put they yellow tape up

I ain't gon' be happy 'til my niggas shoot the wake up

Couple niggas cake'd up,  a couple niggas was starve, ya

Couple niggas shot and a couple niggas was carved, ya

Come to your hustle you either small or you large, ya

Know we about that paper, you know it's the black mob ya

Kill 'em and leave his jewelry on 'em, we consider it

To smart to hold a conversation with the illiterate

That'll put the team in jeopardy

You know we got them bricks with the cut that's sold separately

35 hundred of bottle of Chardon Hennesey

Feeling heavenly, blowing God's gift in Beverly

Hills blowin' bags of rodeo, fuck all my enemies

Fuck around and bust off this gun cause muscle memory

Life it's consequences, repercussions or penalties

I can give you the game just come to the assembly

No matter what just know they could never destroy the energy

For now live life and just enjoy the amenities

You can make it happen for you or watch it happen for them

Why you think niggas is packed in the pen

Niggas don't know how to act in the Benz

Couple of bands on 'em

Crosses, couple of feet, couple of hands on 'em
