II Tru - Before I Die Lyrics
You know, the worst part about livingis knowin' one day that you gon' have to dieIn the meantime, you have to come to terms with yourself, before you die[Jhaz]Before I die, laid and put to restBefore I climb the wall, before I take my last breathMay I come to know the real of it allFace-to-face with death, discover why the toughest fallDog, at home alone at nightMy dreams be scary, got a sista fiendin' to the daylightAnd if by circumstance, somehow I end up stiffI promise that I ain't the only one that's gon' end up in a ditchTo all of this, I wish I find a reason why we end up deadSo I be prayin', dog, before I die[Brina]Before I flatline, carried away in a casketI ask this question, Lord: will You be openin' the gates to the green pasturesOr will a sista fall prey to the gates of Hell?So Brina pass times through these ghetto bluesHad to do what I had to do, reallySurvival is the key, everyday tryin' dodge them toe-tagsGotta good heart, tryin' hard to raise mineYou made room for a sista's jumpstartPlaya haters, they hate meWill the devil put one of those fools to workOr will I die of natural cause?Either way it goes, I feel the hurt, so I ask of YouLord: keep my family strong on top of this weak game that'll catch 'em, tooI'm on streets of Hell anydayAmen
