[Talking] The only way for me to come back is by Makaveli That's me All these motherfuckers stole from me I'm takin' back what's mine
Hahaha You motherfuckers can't stop me Even if I die I'm gonna be a fuckin' problem Do you believe in ghosts, motherfucker? Real live, black... ghosts Fear me
[Verse 1] Some say I'm crazy, these punk-ass cops can't fade me Momma tried to raise me, but had too many babies Papa was a motherfuckin' joke, used to find dope in his coat And nearly choked when he'd tell me not to smoke Damn, don't get me started My momma smoked so goddamn much when she was pregnant I'm surprised I ain't retarded At night I can't sleep, count deep? As they pass through the glass of my neighbors, five deep Starin' at the wall, heard a scream Wake up in the morning, see the blood in the hall from the murder scene Don't cry, just ask why And try not to die as I take you through a ghetto nigga's lullaby On the corner where the niggas sling they crack And the undercovers jack, those that don't watch they back I daydream about the dope world Take a puff from the blunt and watch the smoke swirl My Mossberg goes *boom* once another plug Snatchin' drugs, pumpin' slugs in these other thugs (give it up, nigga) Don't run out of breath, every step could be death Til ya blast and be the last nigga left (then I'll be ghost)
[Chorus 2x] Don't cry, just ask why And try not to die as I take you through a ghetto nigga's lullaby
[Verse 2] A seven deuce full of niggas goes by Thought I was trippin' the second time they roll by Recognize the plates, the faces look familiar But everybody swear they know the nigga that's gonna kill ya Don't murder me, murder me, kill a nigga in his sleep Let me die as I rest in peace, deep Back to these niggas in the seven deuce A Mac 10 out the window, 'bout to let it loose What could I do? Run for cover and return fire Die motherfucker die, hope your ass fry, don't ask why But I let off everything I had An empty clip hit the ground as a nigga dash On my ass was the motherfuckin' cops now Barely breathin', trying to keep from gettin' shot down *Boo-cow* was the sound, bullet whiz by Still runnin' like a nigga got nine lives Don't know why, but I'm runnin' to my fuckin' block Took a shot, tired of runnin' from the niggas and the cops Time to be a ghost
[Chorus 2x] Don't cry, just ask why And try not to die as I take you through a ghetto nigga's lullaby
