[Verse 1]
They all want me dead or alive
But they'll never take me alive
I'll get even before I die
'Cause they all want me, dead or alive
But they'll never take me alive
I'll get even before I die
'Cause this world wants me, dead or alive
[Verse 2]
**** what the streets have done to me man
Hustlin' and strugglin'
I deserve a better hand
'Cause I'm runnin' these streets and it ain't safe
Motherfuckers like you can't relate
'Cause you ain't all about the hustlin', all about the bustin'
All about the thuggin', baby
Never let it go
If you gotta die, lie, shake it wit a fo'-fo'
Then do so 'cause that's the life you chose
Should've followed the cracks in the road
Your heart and your soul
'Cause one thing I know
Good **** come and they go
Bitch **** actin like hoes, merely need to get treated like one
Hope you got yourself a gun ****
'Cause you know I cock and blow ****
And if I'm ridin', silencer tip, get on some shit
Go out six feet deep and slump ****
'Cause I'm a survivor like Destiny's children
Till the day of my demise
I'ma ask the Lord why
[Verse 3]
They all want me dead or alive
But they'll never take me alive
I'll get even before I die
'Cause they all want me, dead or alive
But they'll never take me alive
I'll get even before I die
'Cause this world wants me, dead or alive
[Verse 4]
Take a look at what this world done made me
All I really want to do is be happy, and raise my family
But I'm strong, motherfuckers can't break me down
**** really gonna hate me now
As if I'm givin a fuck
I'm tryna get my life together
Shit a **** can't ride forever
Tryna see a hundred mil' or better
Before I die
Don't ask me why, I
Got a fascination wit' for freak hoes
New whips wit' two seats and two doors
I've been waitin so long to explode
Now watch me cock back and unload
Bullets go through the chest and out the back
Shaking's usually how the bod' acts
Now the look in your face is so relaxed
Now your family mourns and deals wit that
But me, I'm a survivor like Destiny's children
Till the day of my demise
I'ma ask the lord why
[Verse 5]
They all want me dead or alive
But they'll never take me alive
I'll get even before I die
'Cause they all want me, dead or alive
But they'll never take me alive
I'll get even before I die
'Cause this world wants me, dead or alive
[Verse 6]
They all want me dead
Why the fuck would they want to see me live?
So I'm gearin' up to get in some shit
**** better kiss they wife and kids
It's just the way us **** live
And I roll wit' real **** that run wit big guns
Designed to pop ya lid (Shit)
Never met a real **** I didn't like
Never met a bitch **** that I didn't fight
Now **** gon' get down, and **** gon' lay down
Dependin on how **** view life
And you'll never look in my eyes
And you'll never, ever smile
'Cause your high, is comin' down
And you can't touch me
But if you really wanna fuck wit me
Come on and get your heat my ****
Don't you ever prevoke my ****
Don't ever doubt this ****
'Cause I'm a survivor like Destiny's children
Till the day of my demise
I'ma ask the Lord why
[Verse 7]
They all want me dead or alive
But they'll never take me alive
I'll get even before I die
'Cause they all want me, dead or alive
But they'll never take me alive
I'll get even before I die
'Cause this world wants me, dead or alive
They all want me dead or alive
But they'll never take me alive
I'll get even before I die
'Cause they all want me, dead or alive
But they'll never take me alive
I'll get even before I die
'Cause this world wants me, dead or alive
