I'm Supposed To Die Tonight
50 Cent · The Massacre [2005]
Ahh man
You know where the niggas be at right?
Take me to 'em
Chorus]
All thru the hood I keep hearing nigga's saying
I'm suppose to die tonight
Nigga's done put a hit out and they talkin like shit's okay
I'm down to ride tonight
We rollin, Whip stolen, AK loadin
I'm down to ride tonight
Gun smokin, straight lockin, lock and loaded
Somebody gon'a die tonight
This is nothing new, i been in this position before
Grandma crib, Niggas outside of her door
Different day same shit, old mack new clip
32 hollow tips gloves no rubber grip
I'm a boss, but nigga's never show no respect
I catch em slippin, I have em tongue kissin my tech-
One come test me pussy boy dont try it
Police response never fast enough the shots fired
Dont be stupid, find out who you fuckin with son
Before we find out where your bitch get her hair and nails done
It's elementary.... life is but a dream
You know row row your boat your blood forms a stream
After you get hit you should'a thought about the shit
You took that paper you take a life or your life get took bitch
Sometimes I sit and look at life from a different angle
dont know if I'm god's child or satans angel
Chorus]
All thru the hood I keep hearing nigga's saying
I'm suppose to die tonight
Nigga's done put a hit out and they talkin like shit's okay
I'm down to ride tonight
We rollin, Whip stolen, AK loadin
I'm down to ride tonight
Gun smokin, straight lockin, lock and loaded
Somebody gon'a die tonight
In 2002 if you ask me to make a wish
I simply would'a wished my music would be the hit
Big said damn nigga's wanna stick me for my paper
And pray for my downfall I understand it all
But me I'm a little more flashy a nigga
So chances are I'm gonna have to blast me a nigga
I'm on that keflon vest shit that wild wild west shit
If 81 want karats stones in my necklace
I shine so so hard I make motherfuckers wanna kill me
Every projects and every hood I go they feel me
I know it sounds like rap, but this shit is real b
I dont talk that rich shit but nigga I'm filthy
When I come out to play and my mob aint wit me
You can bet your bottom dollar that revolver wit me
Homeboy frontin on me will shortin your life span
Hold the mic with my left my knife in my right hand (YEAH!)
Chorus]
All thru the hood I keep hearing nigga's saying
I'm suppose to die tonight
Nigga's done put a hit out and they talkin like shit's okay
I'm down to ride tonight
We rollin, Whip stolen, AK loadin
I'm down to ride tonight
Gun smokin, straight lockin, lock and loaded
Somebody gon'a die tonight
