[spoken - T.I.]

Whats happenin' man this T.I.P. you kno Id like to dedicate this song to anybody who done ever lost

somebody, to the grave, to the streets, to the jail cell, I done been in situations where I done had to

cope with all three you kno what Im saying, I feel like the only thing I ain't done yet is died you kno..

but it ain't how i live while im here it's how i live when i leave ya dig



[Chorus]

[Jamie] Life's up and downs they come and go

[T.I.] but when I die I hope I live in the sky

All my folks who aint alive I hope they live in the sky

pray to God when I die that I live in the sky

[Jamie] It's true what goes around comes back you know

[T.I.] so when I die I hope I live in the sky

All my folk who aint survive may they live in the sky

Tell God I wanna fly and let me live in the sky



[Verse 1]

My cousin Toot aint have to die right in front of his son and his wife

He lost his life struggling over a gun

give a damn what he done that my muthafuckin folk

and I love that nigga to death no muthafuckin joke

I can feel my eyes fillin the lord is my witness

If I catch em Imma kill em I made it my bizness

back in the day you stayed in my bizness

taught me I ain't have to corporate yay in my bizness

coincedently that's why today you not wit me

my cousin died ova some yay and I miss him

plus he at his family house let's say she the eye witness

but her boyfriend did the shooting judge gave em a life sentence

I heard that now Im dressed up in all black

shot up the whole apartments he still ain't brought back

the best friend I had in Jamel I lost that

I guess your death was a lesson in life it taught me that



[repeat chorus]



[Verse 2]

Never seen a nigga go to jail and sleep til day two

well thats how sick I was when Jayrue

found out the hard way that was powder they were tootin

over-dosed on heroin died at 22

If you aint heard about your daughter she smile just like you

so cute even resorts to violence like you

you kno ya baby mama loose but haa what can you do

and I got 4 myself, yea it's been a few

now everything I do is for King, messiah, deja, demonte

Lord they all I got so please don't take em from me

from me standin in the trap currently serve caps

laughin at the niggas who serve with no strap

tell them niggas man yall trippin wit no maps

get robbed and thats the part where my pistol aint no hap

me, you, and the crew just fell out ova dough and a little crack

never could apolygize cause you died that's why they say that..



[repeat chorus]



[Verse 3]

I bet you niggas think Im living it up

til you see polices laughing as they pickin me up

Went from seeing how many bitches i can fit in the truck

to 3 hots and a cot is you kidding or what

fuck how many millions I got nigga so what if Im hot

when I got prices on my head Feds rushing my spot

a million haters want me dead forced to carry a gat

but yous a seven time felon wat you doing with dat

It's a catch 22 either you lose or lose

Thats the way the game structured for real niggas to suffer

and I aint never been a busta always stood on my feet

like a man prepared to take what ever coming for me

a pussy nigga or polices wit a warrant for me

Im a G prepared to die for whats important to me

Look anybody in the eye who say he want it wit me

put up the house and bet the odds if coming from me

OG's say I need to learn to be patient

what you telling me wit these seven years of probation

pistol charges and a host of other open cases

if niggas only knew the kind of time I was facing

I tried to keep to myself but sometimes I couldnt take it

got 4 kids, the smiles on they faces

mean more to me than my crown and my braclet

take that away from me and my life is butt naked



[repeat chorus]
