Return Of The Living Dead
Papoose Lyrics

It's the return of the living dead
It's like coming back from the dead after being left for dead by fake friends

I see you laying in my bed
Reflecting back on life before the near-death experience

He deserved it
Referring to someone who didn't believe in the artist but now they're back on top

That's what them bitches said
Affirms the belief that others did not believe in them before the resurrection

Ever been in a life or death situation
Asking if anyone has survived a near-death experience

Your fake ass friends
Friends who turned their backs during a difficult time in life

Don't believe you can make it, they say he's dead
Being told by former friends that they won't succeed in the future

But as soon as you survive
Refers to the moment when the artist proves the doubters wrong

Right before they eyes
When the doubters see the artist thriving

He's Alive! He's Alive!
Celebrating their resilience in the face of adversity

Cuz they wanna see me, die, die
Referring to haters who wish the artist would fail

But I lived instead
Defying the odds and coming back stronger

How come you ain't pay me no visit
Asking why former friends abandoned the artist in their time of need

Whats up with you nig?
Questioning former friends' motives

Try to walk in my shoes, your bunions too big
Suggesting that others cannot understand the struggles the artist has been through

Would have laid down and died and say fuck it you live
Believing that others would have given up if they were in the same situation

But before I go I gotta split one or two wigs
Promising to get revenge on haters

Throw a couple shows maybe one or two gigs
Planning to continue performing and making music

I'm hot on these streets cocksuckers you dig?
Being popular and successful despite doubters

I got something to live for, my kids and my wiz
Motivated to succeed for loved ones

A certified g
Being respected as an authentic gangster

Spell my name with me call me P-A-P like diddy double O for sho S-E get it gritty
Giving out a signature nickname and spelling it out

Everybody wanna blow but they don't use wits
Suggesting that artists need intelligence and smarts to succeed

I respect the game you gotta follow the blueprint
Admiring the success of others and learning from them

But when I went through the system and they took my finger prints
Being arrested and processed by law enforcement

The cop came back and said those papoose prints
Being recognized by the police

You made you wack lil lips you sell them a new mix
Dismissing other artists as unoriginal and unimpressive

I cop actual pliss, I make crack do flips
Dealing drugs and being wealthy

I hate a wack new sence, who never had true sense
Disliking novice artists who are not genuine

But always gotta try to put in his last 2 cents
Being annoyed by others' unsolicited opinions

The clubs act foolish, but you act two tints
Acting smarter than others when in the club

I'm a wait till I see you go into that bathroom bitch
Preparing to attack enemies when they are vulnerable

And I'm a grab you quick, Back you with Smak you with The gun I clap duke with
Threatening violence against haters

I gave birth to the white on some yaku shit
Dealing cocaine and being powerful

Fresh out of surgery im back on my bullshit
Recovering from an incident and being back to normal

Niggas shootin up a corner racin their rounds
Being threatened by gang violence

I'm supposed to be afraid cuz you throwin laces around
Being aware of danger but not backing down

I duck behind a garbage can while they blazin they pound
Fighting back against aggressors

Soon as I hear them stop shootin, I'm chasin them down
Going on the offensive when the opportunity arises

You ran when the drama popped, get away from me now
Being disgusted with cowardly behavior of others

Always actin tough for me, but afraid of these clowns
Others pretending to be strong but being scared deep down

I hit em with the jim star, I'm raisin them down
Using violence to defeat enemies

One two three like I threw an ace at the clown
Being skillful and precise with violence

Next time you hear the thunderstorm feel the wind
Being alert for signs of impending danger

They say that's when the sky open up and let the dead people in
Referring to folklore about the afterlife

You heard death if you ever heard how thunder sounds
Being familiar with danger and violence

Can't worry about that I'm gutter pal
Not being afraid of danger

I dont want a nigga running up on me talkin bout what up now
Preparing for unexpected conflicts

Knife to enemies throat, cut it now
Threatening violence against enemies

Cuz the person you sleep on will gun you down
Referring to underestimated people who can become dangerous

So I dont put niggas under pressure, I rather put em underground
Not giving people pressure, instead, attacking them

Before I come in this industry let you fake niggas punk me
Refusing to let others bully and take advantage of the artist

I go up north and me and moose can be bunkies
Being prepared to go to prison

Don't like the liquor get you killed
Being careful with alcohol

You niggas is junkies
Disapproving of drug and alcohol abuse

And your whole style stink, you niggas is funky
Disliking others' unappealing and lacking of style

Word on the p-dial they got a hit on the kid
Being a target for assassination

And I'm bout to have a seat, I'm a sit on your wig
Planning to retaliate for threats

You niggas touch my lil cuz
Warning against hurting loved ones

I swear to my ribs
Promising to act with extreme force

We can bang till we die
Being prepared for sustained battles

It is what it is
Accepting the reality of dangerous situations

Why you non-descript niggas in my p-i for
Being suspicious of others' motives for being involved in their life

Have all of you niggas runnin like the knee high door
Causing trouble and chaos for others

Pull everyone of you niggas D-I floor
Being violent with enemies

And we can bang till we die, we at war
Perpetuating the cycle of violence and aggression

I make the motherfukin ground shake where ever I walk at
Being powerful and intimidating

You can call me earthquake papoose
Giving out a nickname

Make it rain, I'm here to reign supreme
Being financially successful and powerful

Hurricane papoose
Giving out another nickname

I'm a natural disaster
Being destructive and chaotic

Tragical I master
Being skilled at causing harm

Lockin is like prison
Being trapped by enemies

I'm trappin all you bastards
Trapping and defeating enemies

Escape my clutches I capture you with rapture
Rapturing and capturing enemies who try to escape
