Like I Died

[Intro]

HEY-EH!

Been waiting too damn long on a side

Don't know how many damn times I've tried

Ain't got too many good things to say

So here's a message to mister DJ!

[Chorus]

Play my music like I died! (To the DJ)

Like the N9na ain't alive! (Quit the replay)

Like I took the long ride! (On my D-day)

Like everybody love my music

And the whole world cried

[Verse 1]

Ayy, treat it

Like I was coming from Billings on the way to Spokane

And you found me twisted and mangled inside our road van

Like it's so ugly, the paramedics say "Oh, man!"

There go Tecca N9na with no life but more fans

Like in hell or I'm in heaven, just fell in from 9-11

Propelling from high and dove in the concrete

Like my name was McVeigh and I check the mail and a bomb beeped

Like having Griselda’s dope and sell it beyond cheap

Like I was in the mood for set tripping

Fights begin and Rugers get splitting

Like my life is through and death slips in

Like there's no air left and my chest stiffens

Like I'm in the church and I'm preaching

Loving the way sister look and after service we creeping

Play my music like we was in the telly deep asleep

Then got murdered 'cause her husband was the deacon

[Chorus]

Play my music like I died! (To the DJ)

Like the N9na ain't alive! (Quit the replay)

Like I took the long ride! (On my D-day)

Like everybody love my music

And the whole world cried

Play my music like I died! (To the DJ)

Like the N9na ain't alive! (Quit the replay)

Like I took the long ride! (On my D-day)

Like everybody love my music

And the whole world cried

[Verse 2]

(Bring that beat back, bring that beat back)

Like having super pneumonia with out taking my z-pack

Like me off in a C function flamed up with a B hat

And I'm pattin' my pockets yellin' "Where's my piece at?"

Like an ink session getting a snake and the bat tat

Got a gun and kicked in the face and I ran to the back "Skat!"

Through the alley under a ladder tripped over a black cat

Fell in the street got hit by a Toyota with a hatchback

Play my music like everyone know that I can rhyme

But I got shipped to Iraq and I stepped on a land mine

Like a wild bull like out the cage and it's ram time

My job is to be the circus clown but I'm damn blind

Like I had the cube and I accidentally called Pinhead

Like I'm Matisyahu in a room full of skinheads

Play my music like I'm permanently in bed

I'm sure the DJs are with it with him dead

[Chorus]

Play my music like I died! (To the DJ)

Like the N9na ain't alive! (Quit the replay)

Like I took the long ride! (On my D-day)

Like everybody love my music

And the whole world cried

Play my music like I died! (To the DJ)

Like the N9na ain't alive! (Quit the replay)

Like I took the long ride! (On my D-day)

Like everybody love my music

And the whole world cried

[Verse 3]

(Eugor god rof efil aggin)

Unless I left my vest and I catch the magnum

Like they let Tech rest and toe-tagged him

After they beat him, tied him to the truck and skull dragged 'em

Like I died of lupus, cancer, leukemia

Epilepsy, m.s. or sickle-cell anemia

All at the same time and the call is a slain N9ne

Caught by a serial killer with a saw and it's pain time

Guess it really does pay to get caught with a stray

That's what it cost, what you pay in a way that's all for the say

'Cause when you rapping your ass off

Skill is their last thought

Realler than real spill but you get killed and you blast off

Play my records like I'm takin' the big ride

Like a deadly virus killing me inside

I know you sucker DJs got a lotta pride

All jokes aside even though I'm still alive

[Chorus]

Play my music like I died! (To the DJ)

Like the N9na ain't alive! (Quit the replay)

Like I took the long ride! (On my D-day)

Like everybody love my music

And the whole world cried

Play my music like I died! (To the DJ)

Like the N9na ain't alive! (Quit the replay)

Like I took the long ride! (On my D-day)

Like everybody love my music

And the whole world cried

[Outro]

Play my music like I died

Like the N9na ain't alive

Like I took the long ride

Like everybody loved my music

And the whole world cried
