King Tee - I Don't Wanna Die Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Just another night in my Philly

Will get dreams ain't worth a penny

We celebrate life every night, toast a (?)

I feel it in me, it's frustratin' enough

to watch the lil' homies on the grind tryin' to come up.

But look at me: the older generation O.G.

Tryin' to shake these nine-ounce into a key

Thinkin' major, knowin' all the time I need to save ya; the anger

I thank the feds for playin' on my pager!

Huh, but in still I smash out without fright

And raise the six hundred headlights through the night

Keep it tight! My reputation stands well

'cause all the good niggas are either dead or in jail

Let's ?pretend? For one second hustlas who had riches

Stop flossin' for these fake ass bitches

Puttin' all these G's turned snitches but it's (?) these days

Ya homeboy will put you in ya grave?

[Chorus: 2x]

And I don't wanna die but if I do

Homies, don't cry! I did so much dirt I should fry

And, loc, sometimes I don't wanna come outside

But I'm all G'up, so let's ride!

[Verse 2]

I wake up every morning the same

?Hollowed? with my grains

Peepin' out my window for the change

But all I see is pain. I sold out my soul for the game

Familiar. Dat's why I gang bang, dat's why I slang ?caine.

I gots to maintain for what's I head

My baby-momma bringin' mo' drama than the feds.

But I ain't scared of all the automatic full of lead

I'm proof for the livin' walkin' dead!

I'm rollin' wit some niggas prepared for anything, anywhere

Anytime fag in the hood are over there.

Dat's my outlook on life until it ends

A pocket full of chips and a Benz.

Shakin' all them so-called friends because they scheme and they plot

To lay me down and get what I got

We're runnin' off their spots wit glocks and fo-fo's like vets

And before I leave I cross out their set!

[Chorus: 2x]

[Interlude:]

"But, you know, it's like everybody I hear

wanna be a tough guy killa, a gangsta, you understand?

But, ah, most of the gangstas and killas I know (?) dead"

[Verse 3]

I don't wanna die but I see the devil's walkin' his flame (?)

Callin' my name like he know me

I pray dat god (?) his (?) foe me, show me a sign!

I be right here on the front line in this war zone

Tryin' to get mine before it's time.

But as I step over bodies dat I peeled

The vision hell's angels and the field (?)

Wavin' at me, getting close witta fat grin on the (?)

But they always take the niggas dat I killed

G, the situation is ill, I feel my turn's probably next

Dat's why I sport a bulletproof vest, but I stress

All it takes is one shot to the dome

Now your family's sittin' in the front row when you're gone

[Chorus: 4x]
