I'd Rather Be Dead

[Verse 1] I'd rather be dead than living in a world like this With nothing to eat, no shoes on my feet Can't get a job cause my skin color Can't get a cab cause I'm a brother My back's against the wall in fear I might fall My last words when I die'll be "Fuck y'all hoes" Nobody knows me, nobody owes me shit, so suck my dick I'd rather be dead cause I'm sick Of all this racism, KKK shit All brothers ain't bad But see you treat us like animals, so we tend to get mad This is for the suicidalists I'd rather be dead, grab the 9 and I might just Cross my heart and hope to die Pull the trigger and kiss the whole world goodbye This is for my dead homies Dead bodies found laying in my pocket but you don't know me You still tripping off my old shit But I ain't said nothing new, it's just that you don't know shit I'm still knocking 'em out and knocking 'em dead Dig what I said, cause I'd rather be dead [Hook] I'd rather be dead [Verse 2] I'd rather be dead, no joking No use praying with the preacher for money, it ain't working No use getting me a 9-to-5 Cause either way you look at it, I'm breaking my back to be alive It goes something like that, then something like this Next thing you know, I get pissed My life is up and down, how you think that sound I'd rather be dead, I can't fuck around Time is wasting, lost the rat race and I just found out my dad's free-basing Problems fall on my head like a ton of bricks And all I want to do is get my gun quick Bad news, bad signs And every time I want to talk, somebody tells me it's the wrong time Another victim of circumstance Misled, that's why I'd rather be dead [Hook] [Verse 3] I'd rather be dead cause I'm pissed off And I'm mad at the world, I ain't got no girl Or no money, everything's sad but funny Everybody seems to think I'm a dummy But I'm going to show them all, I won't miss none of y'all Try to figure out why I did it, you think you know it all I'm going to hold my breath and wish for death And when I open my eyes, I wish there's just no more life left In my body, so I can party with the devil because I'm going to hell Might as well Soul and body embedded in a wooden box When the put me in the ground, people just couldn't stop crying Cause they knew my soul was dying I'm going to hell, so you can stop trying to pray for me You should have talked to me Now I'm going to haunt your ass every night in your sleep You better heed the word that a dead man said Cause one day, you'll rather be dead [Hook] X4
