Live and Die lyrics

[Verse 1]

I get up Friday morning and I'm late for school

Only 13 but I got mad pull

But it's cool, who need a job when I can steal and rob?

Making all that money, but my mom don't think it's funny

Call up the homies cause today's the day

They gonna make a man of me, a gangsta, an O.G

They say I'm young, but I got much heart

Feel like a kid inside, know how to play the part

Gotta get jumped in, but man it ain't no thang

5 minutes of pain for the love of a gang

Might not be right but it's all I know

Messed up and joined a gang

Gave away my soul

[Chorus]

Nothing matters to me, except right now

Make it through till tomorrow, some way, some how

You don't understand, but it makes sense to me

I won't stop until I rest in peace

Nothing matters to me, except right now

Make it through till tomorrow, some way, some how

You don't understand, but it makes sense to me

I won't stop until I rest in peace

[Interlude]

Yeah, who's the big man now boy?

[Verse 2]

I got my first 9-mm, so brothers beware

Looking to get into some trouble

All it takes is a stare (What's up holmes?)

Without a care, I see some fools that ain't from my set r

Represent hat I claim, then take my respect

Scared as heck, but I'm down, how you figure?

You might be big but my trigger is bigger

Bust five shots as I fall to the floor

Within a single second I become hardcore

I knew this morning, it would be one of those days

g' I missed them suckers again

But hit a lady and her baby

[Chorus]

Nothing matters to me, except right now

Make it through till tomorrow, some way, some how

You don't understand, but it makes sense to me

I won't stop until I rest in peace

Nothing matters to me, except right now

Make it through till tomorrow, some way, some how

You don't understand, but it makes sense to me

I won't stop until I rest in peace

And here's the plot

And here's the plot

And here's the plot

And here's the plot

Takin' niggas out with a flurry of buckshots

[Bridge]

Get that fool

Live by the sword, and die by the sword

Innocent life, what they dying for

Live by the gat, die by the gun

Who suffers when it's all said and done

Get that fool

Live by the sword, and die by the sword

Innocent life, what they dying for

Live by the gat, die by the gun

Who suffers when it's all said and done

[Sample: N.W.A]

And here's the plot

And here's the plot

And here's the plot

And here's the plot

Takin' niggas out with a flurry of buckshots

[Bridge]

Get that fool

Live by the sword, and die by the sword

Innocent life, what they dying for

Live by the gat, die by the gun

Who suffers when it's all said and done

Get that fool

Live by the sword, and die by the sword

Innocent life, what they dying for

Live by the gat, die by the gun

Who suffers when it's all said and done
