Young Jeezy Lyrics

if i die young, bury me inside
If I were to pass away at a young age, I would like to be buried inside a grave or tomb.

Lay me down on a bed of roses
I wish to be placed in a comfortable spot to rest after death.

Sink me in the river at dawn
As the morning sun rises, place my body into the water's current.

send me away with the words of a love song
Allow me to depart from this world to the tune of a heartfelt song about love and peace.

oh my God, what's this crazy life of mine
I cannot comprehend the many struggles and uncertainties that arise in my life.

Swear these niggas tryna kill me
I am convinced that some people in this world are trying to end my life.

but i know that i'll be fine
Although I face many trials, I am certain that I will come out stronger.

if you send me to the dark, get this world a light to shine
If I were to pass away, I hope that something positive will arise in the world to lighten the darkness.

cause there's gon be a lot of people mad if i die young
Many individuals would be deeply saddened if I were to pass away at a young age.

And my momma raised two kids all on her own
My mother had to take care of two children by herself.

I was jealous of them kids who had two parents in they home
As a child, I felt resentful towards those who had both a mother and father present in their household.

My paps left me for the sky, my pap left me for they sky
My father passed away and is now in heaven above.

Now i'm steady poppin bottles like there's messages inside them
I'm frequently purchasing and drinking alcohol as if there is something important or meaningful inside the bottle.

Uh, I'm just livin low key, Something sorta like an OG
I am leading a modest lifestyle, similar to that of an experienced, respected individual.

Now everybody seems to know me, Started way back in 03
Over the years, I have gained widespread recognition, starting in 2003.

When i started to rap and smoke weed 2Pac, S.N double O.P J.A.Y and hyphen to the Z
I began writing and performing hip-hop music and partaking in marijuana use. I looked up to accomplished artists such as 2Pac, Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z, and Nas.

They taught me to write what i see New York taught me to be real Out here it's gonna get killed So i gotta make that change And just, just tell them how i feel
These musicians taught me to express my personal experiences and stay true to myself. Being authentic in New York is crucial, as failure to do so could be fatal. As such, I must speak out and convey my thoughts to others.

And i feelin like I lived so many lifetimes already
I have encountered numerous hardships and events that have caused me to feel as though I have experienced many lives in one.

And the funny part is, I just begun
Despite my perception that I have gone through many struggles, I know that there is still a long journey ahead of me.

Let me get a chance to say the things i never say
I hope to have an opportunity to express some thoughts or emotions that I have not yet had the chance to speak about.

Cause where i'm from we lose somebody every single day
In my hometown, individuals pass away regularly, and it feels inevitable.

And the mothers see the funerals of sons before they sons turn 21
Mothers frequently witness the burials of their sons before they reach the age of 21.

I swear i wonder why the heck i even pray I take that back, I know y'all brilliant
At times, I question if prayer serves any purpose, but I take it back and understand that there is a higher power in control.

I shot this down, First they wanna sign me, then they wanna confine me, Oh wait, oh yeah, i get it
At one point, the music industry wanted to sign me as an artist, but then they wished to restrict my creativity. I understand their perspective.

Kill my visible but never my spirit
Even if I were to suffer harm or loss, my spirit or inner self would remain unbroken and resilient.

Just be careful when you burn them bridges Once this burnin can't return it's how you learn and not been givin
When severing relationships with others, it's important to tread carefully as there is no way to reverse or undo the damage done, and it serves as a learning experience.

God damn, hear my sound I goes in, but i don't back down
Listen to my message and understand my words. I am resilient and will persevere through adversity.

I'm that king, but i don't rock crowns Oh wait, yep, i do, ok
I have an important place in society, but I don't need any physical items, though I understand I have worn a crown before.

Yep no sympathy no way That's just not how i was raised
I do not want or expect any unwarranted sympathy from others, as it is not how I was brought up.

i'd rather get down a slay Everybody that's in my way it's ok And you can be the worst that's just no way
My preference is to overcome any obstacles or difficult opponents in my path. It's acceptable, even desirable, to eliminate those who stand in my way, regardless of the harm they may cause me.

So as long as i am livin, i'm blessed with what i'm givin, I'm good
I am grateful for all that I have been given thus far, and I feel content and fulfilled with my life.
