24 Hrs. To Live (feat. The Lox, Black Rob & DMX)

I want you to ask yourself one question

If you had 24 hrs. to live

What would you do?

That's some deep **** right there

A lot of personal ****

How would you handle it?

Mase, what would you do?

Yo, I'd turn a lola

It's heterosexual

Smack conceited **** right off the pedestal

I even look for my dad that I never knew

To show him how I look and my Barretta too

I do good **** like take kids from the ghetto

Show them what they can have if they never settle

Take every white kid from high class level

Show 'em what Christmas like growin' up in the ghetto

Teach **** how to spend, stash the rest

Give **** to the **** under massive stress

Give every bum on the street cash to invest

And hope Harlem won't blow up, be my last request

Yo, yo, if I had twenty-four hours to kick the bucket

I'd probably eat some fried chicken and drink a Nantucket

Then go get a job from Branson

And make sure I leave my mother the money to take care of grandson

Load the three power, hop in the Eddie Bauer

And go give all six to that Poppy that sold me flour

Get a fresh Barbie, make a few calls

Shop at the mall, shoot a lil' ball

Have all of my **** in one tele

At the same time, spread it out

On different floors

Then I'm gon' play lotto

For what?

Even though I ain't gon' be here tomorrow, so what?

You know, when I was close to the ledge

I probably be in a wedge

Wit' this bad Spanish mami right 'tween my legs

Then I'm off to get choked

And smoke one of them dreads

Then get that **** million dollars, give us up to the Feds

Thought of Mama, wrote her a note

We ain't close

I hate her boyfriend so I been wantin' his throat

**** **** around, sniff an ounce of raw

Watch the floor

Pause, pull out my **** and take a **** on the floor

Jump in the whip, get them cats I wanted to get

Since the Tavern On The Green robbery in '86

When homes took a shower in ice cold water

And spend my last hours with my son and my daughter

If you had 24 hrs. to live, just think

Where would you go, what would you do, who would you ****

And who would you want to notify?

Or would your **** deny that your **** about to die?

If you had 24 hrs. to live, just think

Where would you go, what would you do, who would you ****

And who would you want to notify?

Or would your **** deny that your **** about to die?

Hey, yo, if I had twenty-four

Gotta get the raw

Run all in  Poppy's spot, put one in his head at the door

For the times that I paid for twenty and he gave me twelve

Double-A had to be baking soda by itself

So Poppy, **** you dead now, I'm off to the bank

With those bricks in a bookbag

And a stolen Jag I just crashed

Run in there, grab the bank teller with the pretty face

**** her in the safe, then have her take me to my place

We'll make a kid, but that's selfish and had to be bad

For my son to have the same **** as Pops just had

And when I'm down to twenty-three, I'ma be strapped with TNT

Run up in city hall and take the judges with me

24 hrs. to live

I probably die on the 5th

Runnin' the station, squeezin' the enth

I'll be waitin' to get to hell and bust down Satan

Styles on **** and then I got a spot vacant

Back to the twenty-four, I make it out the precinct

She'll **** that I hate, and they face when they eatin'

I'm on the job, robbin' ever so-called don

Give the money to my moms and tell her that I'm gone

I would school my little brother that he **** mean him harm

You should learn to tell the future without readin' palms

When they comin' with the bullets, you prepare with the bomb

So **** bein' violent, get stocks and bonds

Twenty-four left until my death

So I'm gonna waste a lot of life, but I'll cherish every breath

I know exactly where I'm goin', but I'ma send you there first

And with the **** that I be doin', I'ma send you there worse

I been livin' with a curse and now it's all about to end

But before I go, say hello to my little friend

But I gots to make it right, reconcile with my mother

Try to explain to my son, tell my girl  I love her

C4 up under the coat

Snatch up my dawg

Turn like three buildings on Wall Street into a fog

Out with a bang, you will remember my name

I wanted to live forever, but this one's a fame

If you had 24 hrs. to live, just think

Where would you go, what would you do, who would you ****

And who would you want to notify?

Or would your **** deny that your **** about to die?

If you had 24 hrs. to live, just think

Where would you go, what would you do, who would you ****

And who would you want to notify?

Or would your **** deny that your **** about to die?

If you had 24 hrs. to live, just think

Where would you go, what would you do, who would you ****

And who would you want to notify?

Or would your **** deny that your **** about to die?

If you had 24 hrs. to live, just think
