I Need To Know

[Verse 1] Dreaming, plotting on my arrival, but reality bites My main focus is survival at this time of my life Swear I'm my own worse rival Even grab the Henny every time I'm feeling bottled How come I ain't hit the lotto, at least come up on a scheme? Least I ain't doing time, could be worse, keep in mind They say I'm doing fine, but a nigga need cream, no Choice but to grind, time I'mma gather up the team I'm tired of seeing niggas mope around, I'm hungry so I hold it down Money on my mind so I'm gritting, gotta get it Early 'bout my hustle game, tryna scrape up some change You can hate it or love it but this is how I'm living, nigga [Hook] If I die tonight, would you celebrate my life Or just let a brother pass? I need to know Would I be forgotten or would you hold me down? Sorry but I gotta ask, I need to know [Verse 2] In life, gotta stay on your toes Stay tight with the fam, keep an eye on your foes We live in a cold world, it's hard to trust a soul So I stay on the low, sucka free how I roll Allergic to these hoes, keep my dick in my jeans Away from them gold diggers, gotta stick with my queens Might think it's gold just because how I gleam But it's just an illusion, yeah, a bunch of confusion It's hard to be humble when your stomach is growling While you juggling mountains and you just wanna drop Then you reach deep inside and you grab that intuition All them late nights wishing and hoping the pain stop but [Hook] [Verse 3] Death is only a part of life, I don't know why you scared Shit you better get prepared for the reaper I'd rather know he coming to get me before he creep up Go out with a bang take my last hit of reefer Kiss my momma on the cheek, tell my niggas "I'll see ya up in Heaven, hold it down 'til we meet up" Again, I'll be somewhere in the clouds with my feet up Going bar for bar with Pac, laughing with Jesus Away from the struggling, the drama and the grieving At last I can finally be at peace Far away from them heaters who try to bring me down All the trial and tribulations of the streets, I'm finally free [Hook]
