Life or Death
(Ready, ready now)
[Hook: Bishop Lamont]
Nigga, we born
Then nigga, we die
Whatever happens in between is up to you and I
I can't tell you what heaven is like
'Cause all I know is it's been hell to live this fuckin' life
[Repeat Hook]
[Verse 1: Bishop Lamont]
You gassed up, full tank
It's very flammable, especially when one spark is all it takes
For heaven's sakes
When will niggas learn
Hopefully sooner than when that lady screamin' "my baby" on your puffin' on that herb, word
And with the word God said: "Let there be light"
But it's really hard to see when you live perpetual night
And when that Bible's too thick
But that money roll is thicker
To pass on that you'd be a stupid ass nigga
But what you did to get that makes you a stupid ass nigga
Guess we damned if we do
Double-damned if we don't
Remember there's always a nigga that will
When yo' ass won't
Believe me
I'm a man of morals, no doubt
[Hook x2]
[Verse 2: Xzibit]
We was all born dyin'
Born alone, die alone
I'm home sweet home in my catacomb
When I die turn your lighters on
I make a loudmouth tone turn softer than a xylophone
Yeah, bust it open bitch, daddy home
Gang ties, zip lines, duct tape, chloroform
Classically trained in the art of war
Then I bang a whore in a figure four
Dopamine dumpin endorphins
I'm isis
I turn you to a headless horseman, I'm priceless
Some niggas turn to Christ when they facing crisis
I ain't afraid of death, live it until I'm lifeless, yeah
[Hook x2]
[Verse 3: RBX]
Crazy how life seems to bleed into death
Like graffiti on the wall that you read like an ambigram
Helter skelter, catch wreck like Delta
Precise [?]
Now he prolly screamin' screamin' "I hate that muthafucka"
But the S-55 pushed right past the sucka
Thief in the night might be the shadow taker
A glimpse of the sun brings off the widowmaker
I hear them little baboons throwin' they little turds
But I move right past it
Don't give 'em the words
Silence is golden
[?]
Like a Hitchcock movie
[?]
[Hook x2]
Eye for an eye
Tooth for a tooth
How you live and die
That's up to you
Eye for an eye
Tooth for a tooth
How you live and die
That's up to you
Live by the sword
Die by the sword
Live by the gun
Die by the gun
And as I
Walk the valleys
In shadows of death
I shall fear no evil... none
[?]
And there you have it
Life... or death
Which do you choose?
(Laughter)
