Angels
P. Diddy Lyrics

Uh, uh, uh
Introduction

Ain't no shook hands in Brooklyn
People in Brooklyn do not make deals or compromises easily

Auto fatigued then fatigue the enemy
Exhausting oneself to tire out the enemy before attacking them

Look man you wanna see me locked up, shot up
Someone wants to see the artist in jail or dead

Moms crotched up over the casket screamin' bastard
Speaker's mother grieving and screaming over his casket

Cryin', know my friends is lyin'
Speaker is crying and knows that his friends are lying to him

I know who killed em' filled em
Speaker knows who killed his friends and how

With them luggers from they rugers on they deserts
The killers used guns with huge magazines on their trip to kill Speaker's friends

Dyin' aint the s***
Death is not cool or desirable

But it's pleasant kinda quiet
Death can be peaceful and quiet

Watch my n****s bring the riot
The singer's friends will retaliate and cause chaos

Came from the heavens just to sing a song for you
Speaker came from a higher place to sing a love song

To the rhythm of my love for you
The song is a representation of the singer's love

And now it's beating slow, and you know
Speaker's love is fading and the person they love knows it

This the end of the road when I sing this slow song for you you
This is the end of their relationship, represented by the slow song

And love was nothin' but another gun for you
The relationship was just another weapon for the other person

And I would hide it in my hopeless soul
The artist kept the relationship hidden in their soul, even though it was hopeless

I'm not afraid to go down the road where we go
Speaker is not afraid to continue on with the relationship, as flawed as it may be

I don't know, you can hear them callin, don't you
The singer's loved one can hear the angels calling

When the angels call like
The angels are calling for the artist's loved one

Yo
Introduction

If you don't wanna stay you can goo
If the person doesn't want to stay in the relationship, they can leave

But since love don't live here no more
The love that once existed is gone

The angels are flying so low,
The angels are getting closer to taking the loved one away

Singing to you (don't you hear me callin you)
The angels are calling for the person

He's the one you love (cause I hear them callin me)
The person is being called to the one they love

And he's the one you trust (now that time is almost through)
The loved one is the only one who can be trusted as time is running out

Time is runnin out (there's nothin left to do)
There is little time left before the person is taken away

When they're callin you
The angels are calling for the person

When the angels call like (i answer)
The person acknowledges the angels' call

Calling, for you, I will tell the angels now
The singer will ask the angels to spare the person

Let them turn back in to stone
The artist wants the angels to stop coming for the person

I do, love you, it's true
The artist truly loves the person

Fire, climbing
The tension is rising

We ignore the angels call
The singer and their loved one continue to ignore the angels' call

They were warnings after all
The angels' call was a warning all along

It's cool, if I, pick you
The singer wants to choose their loved one, even if it means ignoring the warning

When the angel's call like
The angels are still calling
