Kiss of Death
Cassidy & Jadakiss Lyrics

Uh, I learnt the game, I know what I want and I'm in it,
I have learned the ins and outs of the music industry, and I am focused on achieving my goals.

The time is now, it's gonna be up in a minute,
I recognize that my time in the spotlight is limited, and I need to make the most of it while I can.

You look a nigga in the eye, you could tell if he tinted,
I can read people and tell if they are being honest or hiding something from me.

These fake rappers getting by with these hell of a gimmicks,
I see through the fake personas that some rappers put on to try to sell records.

They act like it's all love, only love is your money,
Some people in the music industry pretend to be friendly, but they are actually only interested in making money.

So when it's over nigga, are you a thug or a dummy,
When my time as a successful rapper is over, will I have made wise decisions or ended up in trouble?

I'm neither, but I been hot so long, it feels like I got a lifetime fever,
I am not a thug or a dummy, but I have been successful in the music industry for so long that it feels like a lifelong passion.

And I ain't gotta spit, I could cough and still eat ya,
I am so skilled as a rapper that even my weakest performances are better than most rappers' best.

And fuck rap I make mills of reefer,
I have found success not just in the music industry, but also in the drug trade.

I'm a man first, tired of punching niggas, so I'ma shoot niggas cause my hands hurt,
While I used to be willing to fight people who crossed me, I am getting older and would rather use weapons to defend myself.

And God is great, guard ya space,
I am grateful for my success and blessings, but I also recognize the need to guard myself and my personal space.

One hand wash the other, both wash the face,
In the music industry, it is important to help and support one another, as it benefits everyone in the end.

And I head crack so much, it's hard to ace,
I am so skilled and experienced in the music industry that it is difficult for others to match my level of success.

.38 revolver flow, its hard to trace, what!
My rapping style is so unique and elusive that it is hard for other rappers to emulate it.

Fuck that, pop off till nothing in the clip left (pop off)
I am willing to use deadly force to defend myself and my interests, and will continue firing until my weapon is empty.

Till nobody in his clique left (nobody)
I will eliminate anyone who stands in my way, including friends or associates of my enemies.

Hole in the head, slashed or the split chest
I am not afraid to use extreme violence and inflict serious injuries on those who oppose me.

If they asked what happened (tell em it's the Kiss Of Death)
If someone asks who is responsible for any violence that occurs, I want them to know that it was me and that I take full responsibility.

Hustle hard till none of them bricks left (nothin left),
I will continue to work hard and make money until there is nothing left to earn.

Stick it up till not a crumb on the strip left (take that, take that)
I will do whatever it takes to make money, even if it involves robbing or extorting others.

Make sure ain't a chain or a chip left (uh uh)
I am willing to steal valuables from others to further my own wealth and success.

Tell em Kiss (The kiss of death!)
I want people to know that I am the one responsible for any violence or criminal activity that occurs in my presence, and that my actions carry deadly consequences.

This is LOXville, and even white America'll let y'all negros know Jada got skill
I have achieved a level of success and recognition in the music industry that even white Americans have recognized my talent and skills.

You a jackass like Johnny Knoxville,
I think you are foolish and unwise, just like the character played by Johnny Knoxville in the TV show Jackass.

So I can jus imagine how ya pops feel (damn!)
I can only imagine how disappointed and ashamed your father would be if he knew the mistakes you were making.

And you ain't worth my shells, so you should just imagine how the Ak feel,
You are not even worth the bullets I would use to shoot you, so imagine how powerful and impactful they would be.

A lot of niggas is thousandnaires, walking round town, fronting like they got mills
Many rappers are only pretending to be wealthy and successful, when in reality they only have a modest amount of money.

For what it's worth, I'm one myself, but my strength in the hood outruns my wealth
I am also not as wealthy as I may appear, but my reputation and influence in my community is more valuable than money.

But you still might catch Kiss in some hot wheels, New Bentley coupe, with the stock wheels,
I may not have the fanciest cars or jewelry, but I still enjoy luxury and treat myself to nice things.

Haha, look how I get back to it, I send my young niggas to do it, in the black Buick,
I enjoy delegating tasks to my younger associates and underlings, allowing me to maintain my power and influence without risking my own safety.

I don't spit bars, I distribute the crack fluid,
My rapping is like a drug, addictive and powerful, and I am constantly seeking new listeners to get hooked on my music.

All I'm really waitin on is for niggas to act stupid
I am always prepared for conflict and violence, and am just waiting for someone to do something foolish or provocative.

To all my real niggas, sorry for keeping you waiting,
I apologize for keeping my true supporters and friends waiting for my next release or project.

It's ironic, but the god was beefing with Satan,
I have been experiencing inner turmoil and conflict recently, despite my outward success and blessings.

I love y'all tho, my niggas for even relating,
I appreciate and value my true friends and fans who relate to me and understand my struggles and successes.

This ain't Kiss talking neither, I'm speaking for Jason,
My lyrics and performances are not just my own thoughts and feelings, but also represent the experiences and perspectives of others, like my alter ego Jason.

When you a problem it's harder to keep them from hating,
When you are successful and influential, it is difficult to avoid negative attention and criticism from those who envy or oppose you.

Niggas jaws, is like laws, don't easy to break em,
It is difficult to change the opinions or attitudes of others, especially when they have a deep-seated resentment or hatred for you.

If I wasn't on some shit, I'm getting on it, come to me with ya hand out to me, I'm spitting on it,
If someone approaches me with a request or favor, and I am not interested or willing to help, I will reject or even insult them.

I don't want to hear what happened, matter of fact, I don't even care what happened,
I am not interested in hearing excuses or apologies from someone who has wronged me or made a mistake.

Might as well declare the clapping, 'cause my bones is old,
I am getting older and my physical strength and endurance is declining, so I may resort to using firearms as a way to defend myself or maintain my power.

Gotta lot of wear and tear from scrapping,
I have gotten into many physical altercations in my life, leading to injuries and physical wear and tear.

Hate a nigga that, ain't never there to see shit, but always hear what happened,
I dislike people who are quick to gossip and spread rumors, but are never actually present or involved in the situation they are discussing.

The thing better than money, is respect,
I value and prioritize respect from others over money, as it is a more valuable and meaningful measure of success and status.

No love this time, nigga, Kiss Of Death, what!
I am not showing any kindness or mercy in my actions or behavior, and am willing to resort to extreme violence or criminal activity to achieve my goals.
