[Intro]
~#**************#~
Awwwww…haha
~#**************#~
[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
Now I was barely seventeen with a pocket full of hope
~#**************#~
Screamin “Dollar and a dream” with my closet lookin broke
~#**************#~
And my niggas lookin clean, gettin caught up with that dope
~#**************#~
Have you ever served a fiend with a pocket full of soap?
~#**************#~
Nigga, I can tell you things that you probably shouldnt know
~#**************#~
Have you ever heard the screams when the body hit the floor?
~#**************#~
Flashbacks to the pain, wakin up, cold sweats
~#**************#~
Six oclock in the mornin, gotta hit the BowFlex
~#**************#~
Get my weight up on the block, keep watch for the cops
~#**************#~
God they love to serve a nigga three hots and a cot
~#**************#~
Nowadays crime pays like a part time job
~#**************#~
And the drought got me prayin for a Carl Thom vibe
~#**************#~
Summer Rain come again
~#**************#~
Numb the pain cause its hard for a felon
~#**************#~
In my mind I been cryin, know its wrong but Im sellin
~#**************#~
Eyes wellin up with tears
~#**************#~
Thinkin bout my niggas dead in the dirt
~#**************#~
Immortalized on this shirt
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Real niggas dont die
~#**************#~
Forward with the plot
~#**************#~
One-Seven-Forty-Five
~#**************#~
Form at the plot
~#**************#~
Real niggas dont die
~#**************#~
Form on the block
~#**************#~
Real niggas dont lie
~#**************#~
Form in the plot
~#**************#~
My niggas dont die
~#**************#~
Form on the block
~#**************#~
Real niggas dont die
~#**************#~
Form on the block
~#**************#~
Real niggas dont die
~#**************#~
Real niggas dont die
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
Have you ever seen a fiend cook crack on the spoon?
~#**************#~
Have you ever seen a nigga that was black on the moon?
~#**************#~
Have you ever seen your brother go to prison as you cry?
~#**************#~
Have you ever seen a motherfuckin ribbon in the sky?
~#**************#~
Nope, all I see is that C.R.E.A.M, nigga, that green
~#**************#~
Im a black king, black jeans on my black queen
~#**************#~
And her ass fat, too fat for a flat screen
~#**************#~
Im the type of nigga make the whole fuckin trap lean
~#**************#~
Kingpin, nigga, put wings on a crack fiend
~#**************#~
If they want a nigga, they gon have to send a SWAT team
~#**************#~
And Im goin out like Scarface in his last scene
~#**************#~
A legend, what that mean?
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Real niggas dont die
~#**************#~
Forward with the plot
~#**************#~
One-Seven-Forty-Five
~#**************#~
Form at the plot
~#**************#~
Real niggas dont die
~#**************#~
Form on the block
~#**************#~
Hood niggas dont lie
~#**************#~
Form in the plot
~#**************#~
My niggas dont die
~#**************#~
Form on the block
~#**************#~
Real niggas dont die
~#**************#~
Form on the block
~#**************#~
Real niggas dont die
~#**************#~
Real niggas dont die
~#**************#~
[Verse 3]
~#**************#~
To die a young legend or live a long life unfulfilled
~#**************#~
‘Cause you wanna change the world, but while alive you never will
~#**************#~
‘Cause they only feel you after you gone, or Ive been told
~#**************#~
And now Im caught between bein heard and gettin old
~#**************#~
Damn, death creepin in my thoughts lately
~#**************#~
My one wish in this bitch, “Make it quick if the Lord take me”
~#**************#~
I know nobody meant to live forever anyway
~#**************#~
And so I hustle like my niggas in Virgini-A
~#**************#~
They tellin niggas, “Sell dope, rap or go to NBA”
~#**************#~
In that order, its that sort of thinkin
~#**************#~
That been keepin niggas chained at the bottom and hanged
~#**************#~
The strangest fruit that you ever seen, ripe with pain, listen
