about
Rhyme & Reason:
This is my personal favorite record on the album. I go through spells of depression at times and once again I was going through a rough spot in life during the recording of this entire album from 2007-2010. A lot of things had changed in my life and I needed to adjust to them. I felt for a minute like my existence truly didn't matter and wondered what would people would do if I died. Would you miss me, ride for me, or would it even matter? At the end of the record I wanted to let my loved ones know how I feel, in case I never get a chance to again. Real emotional record, real life problems. I feel for me to put a record out like that, anyone who's been in that same boat can relate to it and be like, "If he made it through it, I'ma be alright."
That's what my music is about... -adVerSity
lyrics
Hook:
If I were to die tonight, (die tonight)
Would you even, shed a tear and cry tonight (cry tonight)
Try to get even, go out and straight ride tonight (ride tonight)
I might even, commit suicide tonight (I just might)
But would you care, if I were to die tonight
Verse One:
Dropped dead right in front of you
Tell me, what you gonna do'
Everyday there's pain, feels like I'm living in vain
Cuz I spent my whole life trying to get in the game
Tired of being poor, living check to check
And they just found another body on the projects step, and I slept
Trying to get it off my mind
But everytime I close my eyes, I can see myself dying
Shooter came from the left and took my last breath
When Momma gave birth guess they didn't say God Bless
Cuz ever since then my life's been a mess
Sex, death, depressed and all kinds of stress
Unless you walk in my shoes, you wouldn't know that
Trying to paint a perfect picture, but every scene ain't a Kodak moment
So own it, don't condone it
Pray for atonement, till ya gone kid
Hook:
If I were to die tonight, (die tonight)
Would you even, shed a tear and cry tonight (cry tonight)
Try to get even, go out and straight ride tonight (ride tonight)
I might even, commit suicide tonight (I just might)
But would you care, if I were to die tonight
Verse Two:
What would you do?
Try and find them niggas that came through, boo hoo
I'm just another nigga dead, no investigation by the Feds
Might as well be John Doe, cuz when you ain't got no bread
You don't make the front page, you don't get no parade
Might as well stayed a slave, they won't visit your grave
What about when my spirit is raised and he asks what's his name
And I claim that I know him, I say Jesus or Jehovah and he say Allah
I lose my moment in the sky, I got some questions tell me why
Anybody must fry if everyday of our lives we look Satan in his eyes
And this world is a lie, tell me how am I suppose to know what's right from wrong
I done tried, believe me I tried
And I won't know till it's too late
Close the casket, I sealed my fate
Hook:
If I were to die tonight, (die tonight)
Would you even, shed a tear and cry tonight (cry tonight)
Try to get even, go out and straight ride tonight (ride tonight)
I might even, commit suicide tonight (I just might)
But would you care, if I were to die tonight
Verse Three:
Tell Moms I love her, tell Misha I'ma miss her
Tell MK I won't forget him, tell Pops I forgive him
Tell Shell I'm sorry, tell K-Dubb don't give up
And ask Ed why?, it's my moment in the sky
Don't shed a tear, just smile for a nigga
Don't shed a tear, just smile for a nigga, c'mon..
