I Don't Wanna...
Fredro Starr Lyrics

God, I'm callin', yes I'm callin' for you
Fredro Starr is praying to God for help on his journey

When I die, I wanna die like Princess Di
Fredro Starr wants to die in a peaceful way

Blastin' Ready to Die, late night pushin' a five
Fredro Starr dreams of going out with some Notorious B.I.G. music and driving on the highway

Hit the Westside high, doing ninety five
Fredro Starr imagines himself speeding on the highway towards the Westside

Let the will go, like fuck it, closin' my eyes
Fredro Starr is ready to let go of life and die willingly

Tired of living, have my niggas die in the prison
Fredro Starr is tired of life as his friends are being imprisoned and dying there

Catch a bullet wit my back turned, God forbidden
Fredro Starr hopes he won't be shot in the back

To be the next rapper to die, what if it was me?
Fredro Starr is paranoid about being the next rapper to die

'cause see ya now face flashin' on the MTV
Fredro Starr is worried about being recognized by the public only after his death

Front page in the paper, front of the source
Fredro Starr imagines himself being on the front page of newspapers and magazines

Jealous niggas laughin', pain and feel no remorse
Fredro Starr is bothered by the thought of people laughing at his death with no guilt

Every mornin' kissin' my moms, readin' from psalms
Fredro Starr values his relationship with his mother and religious studies in the morning

Other rappers showin' love, dedicatin' me songs
Fredro Starr finds comfort in other rappers dedicating music to him

When I'm gone, thugs'll analyze the last day's verse
Fredro Starr knows that his music will be analyzed after he's gone

Hear the pain and the flow of my life is cursed
Fredro Starr's music describes his pain and tough life experiences

Wakin' up wit the smell of death, shakin' in cold sweats
Fredro Starr is scared of dying and often has nightmares about it

Nightmares every night, breathin' of short breath
Fredro Starr has recurring nightmares that leave him breathless

Wit gun to my head, won't be makin' me more stressed
Fredro Starr is not afraid to die and believes it would relieve him of his stress

The second chance of life, got me feelin' I'm Lord blessed
Fredro Starr feels blessed to be alive and get a second chance at life

I'm God sent, here to talk to the children
Fredro Starr believes he was sent by God to educate and mentor young people

Teach them not to blast, they gats wit no feeling
Fredro Starr wants to encourage young people to not shoot guns without any emotional attachment or remorse

Teach them not to stash they cracks by the building
Fredro Starr wants to teach young people not to sell drugs

Teach them 'bout the game of life, it's thug livin', we all die
Fredro Starr wants to educate young people about the harsh reality of life and living as a thug

What up be-Wiz? It's been quite some time
Fredro Starr reminisces about longtime friend, B-Wiz

I ain't see you in a while since you left in '89
B-Wiz hasn't been seen since 1989

And I still got the demos before we got signed

Always knew you was a nice nigga, destined to blow
Fredro Starr always knew that Big L was a talented rapper who would become successful

Seen you uptown, burnin' niggas, testin' ya flow
Fredro Starr saw Big L rapping and competing with other rappers uptown

Had to catch a plane, I gave you a pound, hand it over
Fredro Starr gave Big L a handshake before leaving

Freaky Tah, what up my nigga? Damn you still look fly
Fredro Starr greets Freaky Tah and compliments his appearance

You in heaven and you still gettin' high, pass the lye
Fredro Starr imagines Freaky Tah is smoking weed in heaven

Shit yo Eazy, what up dog? I know we never met

My nigga Pun, what up son? I ain't forget you kid

Nigga hood, damn the world, only got one verse
Fredro Starr believes that the people from the hood only get one chance in life

What up Banky? Who thought you would of made it here first
Fredro Starr is proud of a friend who achieved success before him

Big and Pac rollin' dice like they never had beef
Fredro Starr imagines Biggie and Tupac playing dice together without any ill will

Big Stretch, side bettin', standin' next to Trouble T

Though I never met Kadafi, what up God? Peace
Fredro Starr acknowledges his respect for Kadafi, although they never met

By the way, you heard the record that I did wit your peeps?

Dyin' 4 rap, for love of hip-hop, we all die
Fredro Starr and his peers love rapping and are willing to die for their passion

Then years are dying, gotta keep your eying

Please help me on the journey, please
Fredro Starr asks God for help on his journey of life
