Death
Styles P And Jadakiss Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They must got a death wish
They was on the road to the riches back in the day they got off on the exit
Real disrespect shit
Whenever a nigga try to fuck up your investment
It's hard to digest it
Young niggas don't want to get punched in they faces
So they keep the burner on, and catch a bunch of cases
These old niggas still think they livin' in the '80s
The shawties they knew since they were babies turn crazy
The bitches still holla at anybody
Lookin' like they have a couple dollars
Could fuck suck and swallow
Ain't nobody winnin' but everybody can't lose
Dirts still there funeral home ain't move
Going in coming out gang affiliated
Rather go back before being humiliated
A black cloud over the hood you can't escape it
Dust smokin' niggas walkin' around in the matrix
Loyalty is thin, the tension is thick
Look at a broke nigga's face when you mention a brick
Stick up kids come around, when they sense that you rich
Cans of lizzle get lit, when you get hit with a fifth
Niggas they used to hoop dream is now sellin' the piff
And they still rattin' but you can't tell if you stiff
Especially when the tek spit, fuck around get your head and your neck hit
Lookin' for a death wish, walk

Talkin' out your mouth
All wreckless to a nigga that you know
That'll let it off
That's a death wish
When your heart stops and your body gets breathless
And help don't come in enough time
That's a death wish
When you see the blood, realize that your chest is hit
And don't know where it came from
That's a death wish
When you know a nigga whole style's on some next shit
(Young money) when you violate 'em, fwah
That's a death wish

I be on that way left shit
Better get right or get left shit
Better hit right or get left, hit
Even if you threw the best pitch
Yes bitch
It's Weezy F Bitch
I'm the best, bitch
Motherfuck your guest list
I'll be like let's just kill 'em
And get breakfast
Neck slit, next shit expect this
Every time you check this
I'm exit I mean excited to be your death wish
Bitch I wear this G-shit on my heart not my necklace
And I keep the hypno' for the hecklers
And I'm from the mecca of the wreckless
With a record-breaking debt list
The wreckless and neglectors think the election won't affect us
I'm high above you above law above average
Niggas snitching putting niggas in the can like a beverage
Damn
I pop out your head fuck up your memories
I'll put a bullet in Nina head and let her reminisce
Yeah
If you still don't remember shit
You gon' remember this
I'm knockin' niggas down this year
I'm on my timber shit
Big lion growl at you niggas on that simba shit
I be on that fuck yo clique I kill every member shit
Cool as December shit
Bang in any weather shit
And they can buy your bag but body parts sold separate
Yeah that's a bad bitch
Like Russian roulette bitch
Weezy be the genie in the bottle here's your death wish

Talkin' out your mouth
All wreckless to a nigga that you know
That'll let it off
That's a death wish
When your heart stops and your body gets breathless
And help don't come in enough time
That's a death wish
When you see the blood, realize that your chest is hit
And don't know where it came from
That's a death wish
When you know a nigga whole style's on select shit




And you violate 'em, fwah
That's a death wish

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Death Wish" by Styles P, Jadakiss, and Lil Wayne deal with the consequences of living a dangerous lifestyle. Jadakiss begins by pointing out that many people have "a death wish" because they make choices that put their lives in danger. He talks about the disrespect and violence that he sees in his community, where young men carry guns to protect themselves and old men act like they're still in the 80s. The situation is bleak, with no one really winning and many people losing out.


Then Lil Wayne comes in and adds to the theme of violence and danger. He uses graphic imagery to describe how he would kill his enemies, and he boasts about his tough exterior. He sees himself as above the law and above average, a celebrity who can get away with anything. He warns his listeners that he can knock them down and kill every member of their clique, no matter how tough they think they are.


The chorus repeats the phrase "death wish," emphasizing the idea that people who live a life of violence and danger are asking for trouble. It's only a matter of time before they get hurt or killed. The song paints a picture of a community where loyalty is rare and tensions are high, where people are always on guard and ready to strike.
