Jay If I Should Die Lyrics

If I Should Die Lyrics

Jay-Z] 

 Come on...life...death...here...gone...Yo 

  

 If I should die don't cry my niggas 

 just ride my niggas bust bullets in the sky my niggas 

 And when I'm gone don't mourn my niggas 

 get on my niggas when it's real 

 say word to Shawn my niggas 

 If I should die *echoes* 

  

 Don't cry my niggas it's been one hell of a ride my niggas 

 in the middle of the trial I flip pies my niggas 

 I did joints with Mary J. Blige my niggas 

 I've eluded the coppers got booted with Big Poppa 

 Skated through with the Ceasar Picadas 

 At high school got head by the lockers 

 gassed the baddest girl in the class to show me her knockers 

 rocked jewels dropped school still didn't fail 

 rhymes still written well hold court in the street 

 never sit in the cell for a second then I'm gettin' my bail 

 shoot it out with the bounty hunters fuck 

 sittin' in the county for summers if they should down me 

 everybody around us become one for that day 

 to live life get your shit right & play 

 Don't get it twisted like rays if I miss that's ok 

 but life's short don't miss a day uhh 

  

 If I should die don't cry my niggas 

 just ride my niggas bust bullets in the sky my niggas 

 and when I'm gone don't mourn my niggas 

 get on my niggas when it's real 

 say word to Shawn my niggas 

 If I should die... 

  

 [Wais] 

 ...don't cry my niggas 

 it's been one hell of a ride my niggas 

 say word to Wais my niggas 

 when I'm gone don't mourn my niggas 

 just keep gettin' it on my niggas 

 say word is bond my niggas 

  

 I got a lot to look back on in '88 

 got my crack on ten years later gettin' my rap on 

 gettin' shorties like a thespian 

 had an episode with two lesbians got a fetish for that 

 drunk ginseng with Japanese chicks & pulled the root out 

 squeeze my whole clip to survive shootouts 

 been on both coasts fired all kinds of heat 

 probably be kinda glad to leave these mean streets 

 I got dead mens to meet and questions to fulfill 

 like is that mystery God real? 

 and how was Kennedy killed? I ain't mad 

 I must've smoked a ton of reefer sipped Coronas 

 with Latifah broke the code of Geneva 

 I know when I reach the other side I'ma see the 

 cat I had beef with who blood remains on my sneaker 

 then it's on again if I could be born again 

 I live my life through my son 

 and tell him never have a friend 

 just family reincarnated I'll show him the time 

 that I waited to get paid tell him never be afraid 

 niggas hearts pump Kool Aid and yo blood run thicker 

 never shed tears cry liquor my nigga 

  

 If I die don't cry my niggas 

 it's been one hell of a ride my niggas 

 say word to Wais my niggas 

 when I'm gone don't mourn my niggas 

 just keep bangin' these songs my niggas 

 say word is bond my niggas 

 If I die... 

  

 [Half Dead] 

 ...don't cry my niggas 

 just stay gettin' high my niggas 

 don't wonder why my niggas 

 when I'm gone live on my niggas 

 just follow my path my niggas 

 say word to Half my nigga 

  

 I'm the aftermath of pleasure never die alone 

 born to live forever through life's struggles 

 I cut corners & took drastic measures 

 see you niggas life expire right in front of me 

 time could never mend what these cold streets 

 mentally done to me too often I close my eyes 

 and see my own coffin feelin' haunted ready to leave 

 this world that I'm lost in my only chance 

 to see the seeds I lost through abortion 

 when I'm gone y'all niggas better not mourn 

 keep flossin' as long as my name 

 lives on what's most important 

 I'll be down in hell scorchin' preparin' for life 

 afterlife still torchin' & blazin' these mics 

 It'd rain for 40 days & 40 nights 

 & I'd return on the 3rd like Christ 

 without my physical portion 

 my spirit a poltergeist for sure 





 I'll be back through the heist tomorrow 

 blood over y'all fake niggas door 

 What you thought? [huh]  

 What you thought? [nigga] 

  

 If I should die don't cry my niggas 

 just stay gettin' high my niggas 

 don't wonder why my niggas 

 when I'm gone live on my niggas 

 just follow my path my niggas 

 say word to Half my nigga 

 When I die... 

  

 [Wais] 

 ...don't cry my niggas 

 it's been one hell of a ride my niggas 

 say word to Wais my niggas 

 when I'm gone don't mourn my niggas 

 just keep gettin it on my niggas 

 say word is bond my niggas 

 If I die... 

  

 [Jay-Z] 

 ...don't cry my niggas 

 just ride my niggas bust bullets in the sky my niggas 

 and when I'm gone don't mourn my niggas 

 get on my niggas when it's real 

 say word to Shawn my niggas 

 If I should die... 

  

 ...I'd tell Big they're still hearin' his songs 

 run into Pac ask him where we went wrong 

 tell him life is miserable when ya dealin' in the physical form 

 Is everything that's invisible gone? 

 I need to know will I still feel pain or will it be ironic? 

 Will I chill in the flames for all the ills of my brain? 

 Can I reveal the game to all the hustlers 

 trapped in the race and if so can I leave this place? 

 Can I puff cigars & drink Cristal? 

 If this is heaven to me is this considered heavenly? 

 Can I still touch lives answer they "whats & whys" 

 make sure everybody in my fam' clutch five? 

 If I should die... 

 ...don't cry my niggas
