If I Die Tomorrow Songtext
von Joe Budden

(Ooh)
Mmh, whoo
Boy
Shall we?
Mic check, mic check
Now

Y′all in that mood yet? (In that mood yet)
Talk to 'em
Y′all in that mood yet? (In that mood yet)
If I died tomorrow... who cares?
See, if I died tomorrow...
Hell!
I wonder if I'd cry

Talk to 'em
Hey, can we dim the lights a little bit?
Talk about death
See, if I died tomorrow (I hear ya)
Don′t stop music
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo (don′t stop)


I woke up around nine, day felt like no other
Kissed wifey on the forehead, told her that I love her
Thinking as I look for where my car keys at
I know it ain't promised I′ll be back

See, if I died tomorrow
Whether from a disease or from a bullet
I wouldn't be mad, I lived my life to the fullest
I drove cars that I never thought I would
I fucked broads never thought I could

See if I died tomorrow
I′d be in Heaven with the folk that raised me
Grandma, Jimmy, Great Grandma Daisy
'Least I′d be around some people that's just like me
'Least I′d be around my Uncle Mikey

If I died tomorrow
I know moms would probably be hysterical
For 25 years she seen me be a miracle
Seen me come a long way just by being lyrical

Naw I ain′t religious, but God know me to be spiritual
If I died tomorrow, wouldn't feel like it′s wrong
I ain't expect to be here this long
They told me before I get 21 that they would have my grave handy
Two years later, nominated for a Grammy


Vibe Awards, Kev said I probably shouldn′t go with him
He ain't think I wouldn′t make it good at the podium
Fans wanting the best for me
I couldn't be there as I won but stretchin' all my Jersey heads rep for me

If I died tomorrow then what would it mean?
Already feel like I′m livin′ my dream
Came across some pretty interesting folk
I met some new people

Ain't move a lot of units, but touched a few people
So I might get frustrated, fuckin′ wit the hood son
But e'yday above ground is a good one
Walk out the door and leave it in God′s hands, if I go it's just part of God′s plan

If I died tomorrow
Would life carry out the same?
Well, at least my little man can carry out the name
And look, I can say I lived my life without stress
If I died tomorrow, I'm fine, I've been blessed, yes!

I made some money, and true, I could′ve had more
But he′s happy and what more could he ask for?
If it was no diamonds and no begets
I still would have no worries, I got no regrets

I made my mom proud, and pop feels the same way
But he's a man so he probably got too much pride to say
Can′t count my blessings on one hand, more than a handful
And God ain't sent nothin′ my way that I couldn't handle

If I know I was called to go
I know one thing that′s for sure
I'll be alright, 'cause it was my time
And if it′s one thing that I know
I don′t regret one choice I chose
I'm livin′ my life
If I was gon' die tomorrow

Yo, if I died tomorrow
Throw a little liquor in the sky
I′m good here, don't ask God why, don′t cry
I did e'ything I wanted, left nothin' unturned
Roll something, light it, let it burn

If I died tomorrow...
Naw, I don′t wanna die tomorrow, I said I don′t wanna die tomorrow
Well, just in case, remember my ways, remember my face
Before all that, remember my place

Lo-lo-lo-look, I love me
Best thing about dying tomorrow, I won't see anybody I love leave (no)
So if the Lord take me, don′t re-incarnate me
I don't wanna come back, and please don′t make me

Don't cry, just wave goodbye
Let all my songs rock, smile at me in the sky
Don′t pour liquor out, I'll save niggas some Hennessey
Just play a spade game, slam a card in my memory, I speak my mind

I roll a blunt with God, know he smoke something better than any weed you can find
So pass that, Jesus
You gotta get high to think of all these diseases that put us right where he is

Damn, I'ma miss my mans, I′ma miss my chicks, miss my fam, miss my fans
The world is like jail, this shit is like Debang
So now take it all back, I won′t miss a thing
I'm feelin′ pretty wise
And deff I could take off this disguise

When it come just let it be a surprise
I'd weather it quickly
I may not be remembered as the best, that′s cool, long as y'all don′t forget me
Now who the fuck you think's living to this day?
I try to tell my young niggas crime don't pay

So I hope Ma Dukes can understand where I was
And hope Trey can be a better man than I was
I don′t wanna live to be 80
Life′s a cycle

So older you get, more you live like a baby
You can barely move, folk gotta be there for you
Diapers on, niggas gotta take care of you
Learn shit all over again
Skin wrinkled, yo, memory gone, and your memory gone

'Least in ′03 I made a few folk dance
I wanna thank Def Jam 'cause they gave me a chance
Wanna thank my street niggas
Show me the street′s niggas

When it's your turn I′m at the pearly gates to greet niggas
When it was beef niggas
Snatch the heat niggas
Said 'Mouse you a star, give that back to me, nigga

My nigga Big Perm, fuck being a hype man
Since Lincoln High School my nigga been my right hand
Dude MK already know that I love him
You like a third brother, you past being a cousin

The mother of my baby for giving me my baby
Naw, I won't trash you, you been aight lately
Heights, Still, and Du, can′t forget Dub B
Held me down when I ain′t know how to love me

I mean, back in the days I felt so ugly
I can't say why, bitches always dug me, you know?
A light-skinned nigga, always kept a fresh line
My feelings like wine, just got better with time

So if I die tomorrow, and y′all choose to ignore him
Just say he rapped Jers' like nobody before him
Look, I can say I lived my life without stress
If I died tomorrow, I′m fine, I've been blessed, yes, yes!

If I died tomorrow, I′m fine, I've been blessed, yes, yes!
