hold ya head
The Nortorious B.I.G Lyrics

Woman hold her head and cry
A woman is devastated because her son was killed on the street

Cause her son had been shot down in the street and died
The woman's son was shot and killed on the street

When I die, fuck it I wanna go to (hell)
The singer knows he's a bad person so he wants to go to hell when he dies

'Cause I'm a piece of shit, it ain't hard to fuckin' tell
The artist has been a bad person throughout his life

God will probably have me on some real strict shit
The artist expects to be punished severely by God after he dies

No sleepin' all day, no gettin my dick licked
The singer expects punishment that will involve him not getting to do things he enjoys

Hangin' with the goodie-goodies loungin' in paradise
The singer doesn't want to spend eternity with good people in heaven

All my life I been considered as the worst
The artist has a long history of being a bad person

Lyin' to my mother, even stealin' out her purse
The artist has done terrible things even to his own mother

Crime after crime, from drugs to extortion
The artist has been involved in a life of crime involving drugs and extortion

I know my mother wished she got a fuckin' abortion
The singer thinks his mother regrets having him as a son

I swear to God I just want to (slit) my wrists and end this bullshit
The artist is feeling overwhelmed and wants to commit suicide

Throw the Magnum to my head, threaten to pull shit
The singer considers using a gun to commit suicide

And squeeze, until the bed's, completely red
The singer imagines using a gun to kill himself in a way that will cause a lot of blood

I'm glad I'm (dead), a worthless fuckin' buddah head
The singer thinks of himself as worthless and regrets being alive

The stress is buildin' up, I can't,
The artist is under a lot of stress and can't handle it anymore

I can't believe (suicide's) on my fuckin' mind
The artist is surprised that he's thinking about suicide

I want to leave, I swear to God I feel like death is fuckin' callin' me
The singer wants to die and feels like it's inevitable

Naw you wouldn't understand
The singer doesn't think anyone can understand what he's going through

You see its kinda like the crack did to Pookie, in New Jack
The artist compares his situation to a character from the movie New Jack City

Except when I cross over, there ain't no comin' back
The artist knows that once he's dead, he can't come back to life

Should I die on the train track, like Remo in Beatstreet
The artist considers different ways he could die, including like a character from a movie

People at the funeral frontin' like they miss me
The singer thinks that people at his funeral will pretend to miss him even if they didn't when he was alive

My baby momma kissed me but she glad I'm gone
The artist's former girlfriend is happy that he's dead

She knew me and her sister had somethin' goin' on
The singer had an affair with his girlfriend's sister

I wonder if I died, would tears come to her eyes?
The singer wonders if anyone would be genuinely sad if he died

Forgive me for my disrespect, forgive me for my lies
The singer asks for forgiveness for his bad behavior
