Reaper Man Lyrics by Joell Ortiz, The Heatmakerz

W.A.R. (With All Respect)

2024

[Chorus]
Mr. Reaper man
Take your time if you can
Damn, you took enough from me and my fam
[Interlude]
He's standing right over there, you don't see him?
(Heatmakerz, Crack Music)
[Verse 1]
Shit, some people try to hit the lotto, others try to hit a lick
Some try to hit a jump shot to shot you up out the blick
On any given night, you just might end up on his list
He's standing on every block, sometimes he laid up with your bitch
Ain't that a bitch? Oh, yes, it is, but so is life, boy, get a grip
Nobody feels sorry for you, we all going through some shit
Take a sip, light a spliff, tell a doc write a 'script
Guess we'd all rather be numb if feeling gotta feel like this
I seen tragedy way too young, viewing bodies after they done
With the makeup all caked up, damn, that's how they did my son
He was looking forward to twenty-one, wow
I ain't cry on that day, so maybe that's why I'm crying right now
[Chorus]
Mr. Reaper man
Take your time if you can
Damn, you took enough from me and my fam
[Verse 2]
The name of the game was everybody live as long as they could
Say the good die young, I guess my hood was all good
I could still smell the piss, I can still feel the stress
I still get out of breath thinking 'bout running up them steps
Hear them walkie talkies, they want me, but never caught me, I'm blessed
Hear them forty-orties, they on me, they try to off me, oh, yes
Through these memories haunt me, they taunt me whenever I'm tryna rest
Close my eyes and see the death of some people that shouldn't have left
My mama told me there'd be days like this, still sucks though
Word, but good luck though
We know that he lurking, don't give a fuck though
'Til he run up on you, try to run it up, yo
It's only right
You won't see him coming anyway, he's a thief in the night
[Chorus]
Mr. Reaper man
Take your time if you can
Damn, you took enough from me and my fam
Mr. Reaper man
Take your time if you can
Damn, you took enough from me and my fam
