if i die

Lyrics

there's killers in my backyard, schemin' on my head, i can't believe i made it this far, i'm supposed to be dead, if i die what you gon' tell my kids?, tell them how they father lived, chopper in the trunk, $150, 000 whip parked outside they mother crib, tell them how they father lived, i was a kid with a kid, that's why i did what i did, all of it wasn't positive, but shit, it is what it is, sometimes i had to do my own dirt, to keep the lights on so you can do your homework, sometime i did homework, ski mask over the dome in somebodies home, that's why recording these important songs hurt, plus around every corner karma gon' lurk, that's why i walk around with goons, look at my face that's why i got these battle wounds, if i die what you gon' tell my kids?, don't colour me a bad dude, i was just tryna make sure you had food, a dropout no college and grad school, grew up fucked up put yourself in your dad shoes, risked my life to catchup with them digits, watch bearers lower my hood brothers and ditches, while i was surrounded by roaches and rats, i ain't talking pest control i mean bustas and snitches, that time i moved you miles away, some people was tryna touch you to bring me out to play, what i did i ain't allowed to say, but i had to do certain things to be here now today, you might hear that he was a drug dealer, you might hear the feds wanna come get him, and when they ask him about his children, you gon' hear that he was in love with them, you gon' hear that he always ride for them, you gon hear that he often cried for them, and just to see them live a better life, they gone tell you he woulda died for them, if i die what you gon' tell my kids?, if i die what you gon' tell my kids?, tell 'em how their father lived, keep it 1 hunnad with them, tell them who their father is, i took food to the homeless shelter, i always respect my elders, prefer to be self educated, i question everything they tell us, my family struggle and i can't ignore it, i get money then i pay it forward, most importantly everyday you smile, best believe i thank the creator for it, if i die what you gon' tell my kids?, tell 'em how their father lived, the whole truth, nothing but the truth, tell 'em who their father is, keep it 1 hunnad
