Die Slow

[Intro]

Uh

Yeah!

[Verse 1]

Wanna make it out the bottom? You can’t fear none (Nah)

Gotta live it like your last, ain't no spare one (Yeah)

You thinkin' everything a game, shit is real, son

I get to thinkin' who I lost, and the tears come

Figured I’d put somethin’ together I can build from

I had all the odds against me, and I still won

Crazy you hatin’ on the nigga that they steal from

Anyone that ever met me told you I'm a real one?

I’m lookin’ round like where did all of y'all appear from? (Yeah)

‘Cause as soon as it hits the fan, you won’t hear from 'еm (Nah)

Can’t have no negativity around my eardrum (Uh-uh)

You thinkin’ bout goin' against mе, I’m prepared, son

One of these years, I'll have a album of the year run

All of the wildin’, celebratin’ what my peers brung

Not reciprocated, I appreciate it, weird huh?

But it’s a sour biz, that’s just how it is (Uh)

Block them niggas out ‘cause in your head is where the power lives (Uh)

Nigga, every second, every minute, every hour’s big (Uh)

You been beggin’ people for so long, you don’t know how to live (Uh)

Nigga, I been shockin’ long enough for power outages

Cut out all that ridin’, now I imagine what yo mileage is

Servin’ niggas over and over they gon’ acknowledge this

Who would think you’d be a grown man and turn to an optimist?

Fuck you and them bum ass niggas you sniffin’ powder with (Yeah!)

[Chorus]

I already won once, I need nine mo’ (Uh)

Mary Jane helps keep my eyes low (Uh)

Gotta strike now, can’t watch the time go (Time go)

I’d rather live fast, then die slow (Yeah!)

You thought I wouldn’t make it, I know (I know)

I’m a main act, no side show (Side show)

Gotta strike now can’t watch the time go (Time go)

I’d rather live fast, then die slow (Die slow)

[Verse 2]

Yo!

This pen is my best friend, found amuse through it

All these people that’s goin’ through hard times use music (Mm-hmm)

If you ain’t never won don’t wanna hear your views, stupid

Everybody wanna be a coach, nigga, you do it!

I won’t be followin’ nothin’, so fuck the rules to it

If you should ever get ya shot, how would you shoot it?

I’m gettin’ to it round the clock like a new student

They bring my name up with the greats dawg, get used to it

Yo, at the end of the day I did it my way (My way)

M.O.B., it only matters what the mob say (Mob say)

Sometime manipulation tends to make the mind sway

I'm only lookin’ for an Em, word to Andre (Uh)

Look at the irony, Benjamin’s my compadre (Uh)

In the years to come, we find out how the cards play (Uh)

You don’t wanna be yourself, you rather cosplay (Nah)

Ima bet on myself give a damn, what the odds say (Yeah!)

Look I ain’t changin’, you can take or leave it either or

All these people you can pick from won’t be using me no more

I was down in numbers, we gon’ turn it to a even score

Momma pushed me in a cold world, need a heated floor

I been at it all week, I need a weekend off

You gotta problem? Take out six spaces, we can draw (We can draw)

Ima make these niggas sick, watch the fevers soar

Mind your motherfuckin’ business, what you peekin’ for? (Yeah!)

[Chorus]

I already won once, I need nine mo’ (Nine mo')

Mary Jane helps keep my eyes low (Eyes low)

Gotta strike now, can’t watch the time go (Uh-uh)

I’d rather live fast, then die slow (Die slow)

You thought I wouldn’t make it, I know (I know)

I’m a main act, no side show (Side show)

Gotta strike now can’t watch the time go (Time go)

I’d rather live fast, then die slow (Die slow)

I already won once, I need nine mo’ (Nine mo')

Mary Jane helps keep my eyes low (Eyes low)

Gotta strike now, can’t watch the time go (Time go)

I’d rather live fast, then die slow (Die slow)

You thought I wouldn’t make it, I know (I know)

I’m a main act, no side show (Side show)

Gotta strike now can’t watch the time go (Time go)

I’d rather live fast, then die slow (Die slow)
