And If I Die (Don't Bury Me)

And if I die, don't bury me

If I die, before I wake

And if I die, before daybreak

And if I die, and meet my fate

Don't bury me, toss me up

Think thrice, how do you feel about your life

Is it bright at night, shine at height like a thousand watt street light

Or is it dark and cold, devoid of soul with amateur goals that don't unfold or come too slow

Don't throw it in a pail, twisted back with the ALE

Living life from a cell, push a Lex with no money for the bail

Laid in bed, sick and frail, feces in your nails

God forbid you catch the virus and go to hell

Pray tell, oh well, just move with the breezes

E, just a prophecy foreseen, he's genius

I mean, thus far, I'm bringing ghetto hope in these bars

Cause even ghetto dope in these cars got a good side to it

If you're frame, live through it, in the pain, don't do it to your brain

Have you drink formaldehyde, pushing fluid through your main artery vein

Your spirit is in question, you got a lot of questions

But the answers to your questions put you in a coffin resting

Eternally sleep, eternally hearing your heartbeat

Eternally hearing the bugs eat your dark meat

While grave robbers creep

My name is Challz Brown, nice to meet, cause I want y'all to live

Unless you run in my crib and pull a gun on my kids

Then you gon' have to do me and my wiz

Unless the gig is up and you run out of luck

And you run out the back without getting stuck

What? You don't give a fuck, me either

But It ain't me that you mad at, son, I'm a believer

It's them demons calling your files

It's the hurt you feel from being raped

As a child of your innocence

But I was raped too, I wanna hate too

But I don't hate you

If I die, before I wake

And if I die, before daybreak

And if I die, and meet my fate

Don't bury me, toss me up

If I die, before I wake

And if I die, before daybreak

And if I die, and meet my fate

Don't bury me, toss me up

It don't suffice to say you love God twice

Then live your life skating on thin ice

Guessing the word it got a meaning

The message it's, gleaming is precious

It's teeming with lessons, you're arresting your development

This rap shit is irrelevant

Battling ain't shit to a president

Or Jesus Christ, not to compare the two

But who the hell are you

You wanna kill some crew

What battling gonna do for you

If you can't advance the shit into careers

And advance it to your peers

And advance the boos to cheers

And advance from 8 Mile to the theaters

Tears are tattoos for fools who feared

And just jumped off the ledge

Of the pools in Hollywood

But God loved the world

So he shoved the good in the hood

I'm realer than most cats that stepped on the stage

Because I don't imitate Tupac to get paid

Airplanes flying, overseas people dying

Politicians lying, I'm trying

And I'ma live forever

To make CLB clever

So when they pull the life support

50 years or better

And everybody's writing me letters

Saying get well soon

Not knowing my body been gone ever since June

But my mind still watching the world go slow

I did 80, now it's time to go (say what)

I did 89, time to shine

If I die, before I wake

And if I die, before daybreak

And if I die, and meet my fate

Don't bury me, toss me up

If I die, before I wake

And if I die, before daybreak

And if I die, and meet my fate

Don't bury me
