Esham - One Day Lyrics
[Esham talking][chorus]One day I'ma die, mama don't cryAin't no heaven up in the skyOne day I'ma fade awayAnd set the world on fire, watch the sky turn grey 2xI was born to mourn,I guess that's why I live the life of miseryForever through eternityMy mama was a junkie, I was born into this world a crack babyMy bottle was brass monkeyI developed a brain tumor,now I consume a half ounce of RoseI sniff bullets with my snub noseI grew up on the east side, 7 mile areaI was raised like a pitbull terrierI developed a criminal behaviorI murdered my first man and knew Jesus Christ wasn't my saviorJehovah witness,witnessed me takin care of my businessSo I shot him on the front porchI took their bibles and burned emI checked their pockets, turned em inside outDumped their bodies in the lake with the troutIt all started as a toddler,now I'm a .45 bullet swallowerAnd mama don't cry[chorus]Somehow it seems,mama calling my name in my dreamsCrackfiends, amphetimenes, what does it really meanSometimes it feels like I'm fallin,am I close to deathGaspin,suffocatin for air,losin my breathI see visions of doctors and scalpels makin incisionsFrom fatal collisions to suicidal desitionsNobody knows my sufferingI bring the pain from my migrane, I swallow 23 bufferinsI was addicted to caine since birthCrack baby goin crazy, so how much is my life worthA baby boy that bounces36 ounces I flip,kilograms I slam from the hipIt's kinda crazy how I'm livinBut I'm mad on a murder ride nigga I'm suicide drivenI've arisen from a dead state-of-mind to find I was blind,too lateMama don't cry[chorus]If I could start all over I wouldBut I can't,if I could,then my heart might have been goodI guess I lost all my time when I lost my mindIt makes me sad to hear mama cryinSo many dyinI never stopped to think what I put you throughMuch love,I thought you hated me,mama see I never knewI guess I walked the wrong pathIn the aftermath,many demons screamin my nameYou don't know the halfI was dead a long time agoNever ressurected,once the .45 shell connectedWith my dome,I saw my misery crack a smileSo put my dead body in the pileAnd wait a while till you come to the cemetaryCuz you might see my tombstone burnin cuz it's necessaryPine box, my body rots with the best of emMama I'm dead like the rest of emMama don't cry
