AND THEN YOU DIE

‘Cause yeah, we were beginners in the
Hood as Five Percenters
But somethin' must've got in us
‘cause all of us turned to sinners
Now some restin' in peace and some
Are sittin' in San Quentin
Others, such as myself
Are tryin' to carry on tradition
Keepin' this Schweppervescent street ghetto
Essence inside us
'Cause it provides us with the
Proper insight to guide us
Even though wе know, somehow we all gotta go
But as long as we lеavin' thievin'
We'll be leavin' with some kind of dough

Keepin' this Schweppervescent street ghetto
Essence inside us
'Cause it provides us with the
Proper insight to guide us
Even though we know, somehow we all gotta go
But as long as we leavin' thievin'
We'll be leavin' with some kind of dough

Life's a bitch and then you die
That's why we get high
‘Cause you never know when you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you die
That's why we puff lye
‘Cause you never know when you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you die
That's why we get high
‘Cause you never know when you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you die
That's why we puff lye
‘Cause you never know when you're gonna
Go, go, go, go, go, go

Keepin' this Schweppervescent street ghetto
Essence inside us
'Cause it provides us with the
Proper insight to guide us
Even though we know, somehow we all gotta go
But as long as we leavin' thievin'
We'll be leavin' with some kind of dough
