[00:05.23]Yeah...
[00:09.92]Yeah...
[00:12.96]The cool.
[00:15.35]Turn me up
[00:16.82]Uh-huh..
[00:17.94]Yeah..
[00:18.83]
[00:20.50]He came back
[00:21.33]In the same suit that he was buried in
[00:23.13]Similar to the one his grand father was married in
[00:25.67]Yes... he was still fresh to death
[00:28.28]Bling, two ear-rings, a chain laying on his chest
[00:30.04]He still had it cuz they couldn't find it
[00:32.81]And the bullets from his enemies sat like two inches behind it
[00:35.88]Smelled the Hennesy from when his niggas got reminded
[00:38.33]And poured out liquor in his memory, he didn't mind it, But...
[00:41.32]He couldn't sip it fast enough
[00:43.13]So the liquor was just filling the casket up
[00:45.74]Floating down by his feet was the letter from his sister
[00:48.50]Second Grade hand-writing simply read "I miss ya"
[00:51.23]Suit jacket pocket held his baby daughter's picture
[00:53.67]Right next to it one of his man's stuck a swisher
[00:56.35]He had a notion as he laid there soaking
[00:58.70]Saw that the latch was broken, he kicked his casket open
[01:01.34]And he...
[01:01.63]
[01:01.89]This life goes passing you by
[01:04.07]It might go fast if you lie
[01:06.54]You go and you live then you die...
[01:09.48]
[01:10.46]O-oh-oh-ohh
[01:11.48]
[01:12.07]If life goes passing you by
[01:14.26]Don't cry
[01:15.61]If you breaking the rules
[01:17.25]Making your moves
[01:18.51]Paying your dues...
[01:20.59]Chasing the cool
[01:21.68]
[01:22.17]Not at all nervous as he dug to the surface
[01:24.17]Tarnished gold chain is what he loosened up the earth with
[01:26.77]He used his mouth as a shovel to try and hollow it
[01:29.37]And when he couldn't dirt spit... swollowed it
[01:31.65]Working like a.. hmm.. reverse archaeologist
[01:34.50]Except.. his buried treasure was sunshine
[01:37.34]So when some shined through a hole that he had drove
[01:39.35]It reflected off the gold and almost made son blind
[01:41.96]He grabbed on to some grass, he climbed
[01:44.00]Pulled himself up out of his own grave and looked at the time
[01:47.07]On the watch that had stopped six months after the shots
[01:49.67]That had got him in the box wringing Henny out his socks
[01:52.30]Figured it was hours because he wasn't older
[01:54.76]Used some flowers to brush the dirt up off his shoulders - so..
[01:57.89]With a right hand that was all bones and no reason to stay
[02:01.05]Decided to walk home
[02:02.27]So he..
[02:02.61]
[02:03.07]This life goes passing you by
[02:05.22]It might go fast if you lie

[02:23.29]
[02:23.62]He begged for some change to get him on a train
[02:25.38]Damn that shit stank, is what they complaine
[02:27.73]Tried to light the blunt but it burst into flames
[02:30.30]Caught the reflection in the window of what he became
[02:32.94]A long look... Wasn't shook, wasn't ashamed
[02:35.44]Matter fact only thing on his brain was brains.. yeah
[02:38.68]And getting back in his lane, doing his thang
[02:41.45]First he had to find something to slang
[02:43.06]Next stop was his block
[02:44.99]It had the same cops
[02:45.95]Walked right past the same spot where he was shot
[02:48.21]Shocked that some lil' niggas tried to sell him rocks
[02:50.72]It just felt weird being on the opposite
[02:53.39]They figured that he wasn't from there
[02:54.83]So they pulled out and robbed him
[02:56.16]With the same gun they shot him with
[02:58.91]Put it to his head and said "You scared ain't ya?"
[03:01.41]He said: "Hustler for death. No heaven for a gangsta."
