Intro/Chorus: Ginuwine
 Momma told me one day it was gonna happen
 But she never told me when
 She told me it would happen when I was much older
 Wish it would have happened then (Is this the end?)
 Chorus
 Verse One: Puff Daddy
 Sometimes I be wakin up at high noon
 sayin  "Why me Lord?"    folks thinkin I'ma die soon
 I just tell em keep seekin  but when they sleepin
 I be concealed up in my room, knowin that it could happen
 I'm just tryin to maintin, because the future is untold
 till the static unfolds that the good die young
 Please God let a Bad Boy die old
 Do you think I wanna lie cold
 Or better yet have many shots come close to the head
 Shirt soaked til it's red
 The most that was said was that my homies had a toast to the dead
 Do I need a pack a vest for stress so I can rest
 Cause even though I'm blessed in my flesh
 It all came down to a test
 A motherfucker wanna go and put a tattoo on my chest
 Now I'm caught up in the mix and I can't do shit, but still
 I can't ride with program, fearing no man
 Hit the car door let the door slam it's a blessing that he had slow
 hands
 But he's still right behind me
 All these heartless fools is steady comin after my P
 So many phony niggaz lovin to hate Sean
 So many cheddar niggaz comin after my cheese
 Is it my car that they're losin, are we all for the choosin?
 Or is it all in confusion? Better yet all an illusion
 Shots rang through the hall bullets cruisin for bruisin
 Don't let this heartless bastard take my life away
 I don't wanna conceive takin his either
 Dipped into the back and took a breather
 Heard steps steady in closin with the bullet skeezer
 Gotta do somethin, I ain't scared to go
 but yet my heart is steady pumpin for somethin
 I refuse to be the one that they be dumpin
 Gotta get away before the techs start gunnin
 Bodies start jumpin, wreckin my brain not to try and understand
 but withstand, is it cause I'm a rich man
 Or just to try to put a brother down in the dirt like quicksand
 But no matter what the reason, I don't wanna stop breathin
 There's dreams to fulfill still
 Can't complete em with a still kill
 Face to face with enemies still grill
 Forgive me for the pain I've caused and the sins I've committed
 even though I'm not hopin to go
 I wish someone would open the do'
 This man's holdin' the trigger and his finger's steady chokin' wit
 smoke
 Is this the end?
 Chorus
 Chorus Two: Ginuwine
 Just, can't, let, go (Is this the end?)
 I, just, don't, know
 Wish it would've happened then
 Verse Two: Puff Daddy, Twista
 Did I just hear a tech jam, now it's on let make my maneuver
 Hit the alley source man in a Landcruiser
 In his hand was a Ruger, dipped in a Lex like Luger
 Heard shots from a steel bruiser
 Teflon in the seat took a pale stress
 Felt the hate on my chest as I placed on my vest
 What's wrong with the brakes in the LX?
 Ran straight into a lightpole, just before I got my life stole
 A car came to the rescue
 I bailed in and said, "Bless you
 But what made me the man you would wanna show help to?"
 I proceeded to ask him, and he said with a passion
 I could never watch a soul die, plus you da man and you too fly
 (But who are you?) The pimp nigga named Twista from the cold Chi
 When the sun's shy gotta keep one eye, nigga I been shot at and stole
 on
 No protection from one time, only caught for my prime
 So I asked the Father what I did so wrong?
 Cause shit it's been hard for me besides chief
 and the smell of sweet news when the beef brew
 Motherfuckers steady ballin but steady fallin
 right in detours, bout to hit my feet soon


 So I just presume, deep into the rhymes of a rapper
 Prepare my mind for the capture
 Thinkin Ginuwine like the bachelor
 But why these niggaz wanna make us into crime with the rapture?
 Eager for dispersin us, don't even hurt the clutch
 Cause he's coldblooded and merciless
 Steady bustin shots at both of us, was the strap close to us
 Then for survival we both to bust
 But Renaults get to roast to crush, cause he steady gettin closer
 Paranoid like a crackfiend when the gat seen
 scream when the bullet hit me in the shoulder
 Don't wanna die til I get older
 Try to visualize the beholder, he's inconceivable
 so now my sight is gettin dark a lot
 Best to step off in this parking lot where them dogs bark a lot
 And try to wait until his ma get hot
 I can make a person fight to survive whether good or connivin
 You never know when it's your time to leave
 Smokin weed to keep my mind at ease, let's go back to the car
 but wait, I can't find the keys
 Plus we didn't chill long enough, the footsteps are comin close
 Is it one of them unholy men?
 With a strap ready to boldly sin
 Mama told me it was comin, but I wish she woulda told me when
 Is this the end?
