[Intro Verse]:
Man get down from that bridge, I know that you're not playing
Listen to me, I'm saying I can show you a better path
I'm so sorry that I never asked
I'm so sorry I wasn't there when your boy got hooked on pills
I'm so sorry I wasn't there when your uncle got himself killed
And I'm so fucking sorry that I lied to you
But please my brother, don't step over the edge
Don't make me cry for you
Been side by side our whole lives, I'd fucking die for you
Dive from the sky for you, I'd ride for you
I'd kill a man, you feel me man?
Take a step back, you left tracks, your demons are coming for you
Born sinner, born with problems, it ain't stop you, whats running gonna do?
There's a seat for you in God's home you say
Just put the chrome to your dome you say
Trust me, I've been there, I thought I was alone until I heard my phone
[Verse 1]:
I can't die like this, I can't die like Chris
I can't die like this, watch me rise up bitch
I got a phone call the other day that I wish I hadn't chose to answer
The voice on the other end says "your friends been diagnosed with cancer"
Man "Fuck the World", feeling like the son of Afeni
Yo Jay I got over "99 Problems", I need 101 Genies
Who's gonna free me? I'm trapped in my own prison
Presently I got no gifts so I'm wrapping my own ribbon
I'm driven, I'm living, I'm giving my all, why can't you do the same?
We're two sides of the same coin and I'm not saying you should change
Why do you wanna hit the pearly gates at an early date, it can surely wait
I pray that you show some faith, man what would your brother say?
Fuck that, think about Mother's day, they need you, I need you
God damn it, your sister got a seed due and I know your daddy didn't teach you shit but man
I'm breaking up thinking about you being six feet under
Think about all that before you enter this deep slumber
[Hook]:
Don't Die on Me (x8)
[Verse 2]:
A man once tried to rob me, I turned my pockets out and had nothing
Then he turned silent and stopped and thought about something
Fear never kicked in, my life never flashed before my eyes
It turned slow motion like a car crash before you die
I imagine that's how you feel right now, probably whats running through your mind
Know that when I speak to you my brother I'm never fronting with these rhymes
Everything I say is from the heart, everything I meant, I never lied
And if you truly want to jump from that bridge then I beg you tell me what heaven's like
Because I fear I'll never know, my pain is real even if it never shows
Heaven's for angels, born sinners are destined for hell below
I got a premonition that's where I'm headed, sprayed ammunition but never leaded
I said some horrible things, the Lord's forgiving but still I said it
And I can't ever take it back, I put it in my raps and in my tracks
But now the cracks beginning to show, my own sanity is under attack
Back when we was kids who would've thought that we'd turn out this way?
Please get down from that bridge my brother, please don't go out this way
[Outro Verse]:
I just want to take control of my life, take control of my name
Take control of my fight and take control of my pain
Everybody else talking about they wanna take control of the game
Fuck that, fuck that, fuck that, tell me that you feel the same
It only gets brighter, it only gets lighter, burrow the tunnel it only gets tighter
I might have gone too far but tomorrows a new day to follow a new age
Dreams in Darkness
I Feel Blessed Today
