| [00:05.23] | Yeah... |
| [00:09.92] | Yeah... |
| [00:12.96] | The cool. |
| [00:15.35] | Turn me up |
| [00:16.82] | Uh-huh.. |
| [00:17.94] | Yeah.. |
| [00:18.83] | |
| [00:20.50] | He came back |
| [00:21.33] | In the same suit that he was buried in |
| [00:23.13] | Similar to the one his grand father was married in |
| [00:25.67] | Yes... he was still fresh to death |
| [00:28.28] | Bling, two ear-rings, a chain laying on his chest |
| [00:30.04] | He still had it cuz they couldn't find it |
| [00:32.81] | And the bullets from his enemies sat like two inches behind it |
| [00:35.88] | Smelled the Hennesy from when his niggas got reminded |
| [00:38.33] | And poured out liquor in his memory, he didn't mind it, But... |
| [00:41.32] | He couldn't sip it fast enough |
| [00:43.13] | So the liquor was just filling the casket up |
| [00:45.74] | Floating down by his feet was the letter from his sister |
| [00:48.50] | Second Grade hand-writing simply read "I miss ya" |
| [00:51.23] | Suit jacket pocket held his baby daughter's picture |
| [00:53.67] | Right next to it one of his man's stuck a swisher |
| [00:56.35] | He had a notion as he laid there soaking |
| [00:58.70] | Saw that the latch was broken, he kicked his casket open |
| [01:01.34] | And he... |
| [01:01.63] | |
| [01:01.89] | This life goes passing you by |
| [01:04.07] | It might go fast if you lie |
| [01:06.54] | You go and you live then you die... |
| [01:09.48] | |
| [01:10.46] | O-oh-oh-ohh |
| [01:11.48] | |
| [01:12.07] | If life goes passing you by |
| [01:14.26] | Don't cry |
| [01:15.61] | If you breaking the rules |
| [01:17.25] | Making your moves |
| [01:18.51] | Paying your dues... |
| [01:20.59] | Chasing the cool |
| [01:21.68] | |
| [01:22.17] | Not at all nervous as he dug to the surface |
| [01:24.17] | Tarnished gold chain is what he loosened up the earth with |
| [01:26.77] | He used his mouth as a shovel to try and hollow it |
| [01:29.37] | And when he couldn't dirt spit... swollowed it |
| [01:31.65] | Working like a.. hmm.. reverse archaeologist |
| [01:34.50] | Except.. his buried treasure was sunshine |
| [01:37.34] | So when some shined through a hole that he had drove |
| [01:39.35] | It reflected off the gold and almost made son blind |
| [01:41.96] | He grabbed on to some grass, he climbed |
| [01:44.00] | Pulled himself up out of his own grave and looked at the time |
| [01:47.07] | On the watch that had stopped six months after the shots |
| [01:49.67] | That had got him in the box wringing Henny out his socks |
| [01:52.30] | Figured it was hours because he wasn't older |
| [01:54.76] | Used some flowers to brush the dirt up off his shoulders - so.. |
| [01:57.89] | With a right hand that was all bones and no reason to stay |
| [02:01.05] | Decided to walk home |
| [02:02.27] | So he.. |
| [02:02.61] | |
| [02:03.07] | This life goes passing you by |
| [02:05.22] | It might go fast if you lie |
| [02:07.74] | You go and you live then you die... |

| [02:21.93] | Chasing the cool |
| [02:23.29] | |
| [02:23.62] | He begged for some change to get him on a train |
| [02:25.38] | "Damn that nigga stank", is what they complained |
| [02:27.73] | Tried to light the blunt but it burst into flames |
| [02:30.30] | Caught the reflection in the window of what he became |
| [02:32.94] | A long look... Wasn't shook, wasn't ashamed |
| [02:35.44] | Matter fact only thing on his brain was brains.. yeah |
| [02:38.68] | And getting back in his lane, doing his thang |
| [02:41.45] | First he had to find something to slang |
| [02:43.06] | Next stop was his block |
| [02:44.99] | It had the same cops |
| [02:45.95] | Walked right past the same spot where he was shot |
| [02:48.21] | Shocked that some lil' niggas tried to sell him rocks |
| [02:50.72] | It just felt weird being on the opposite |
| [02:53.39] | They figured that he wasn't from there |
| [02:54.83] | So they pulled out and robbed him |
| [02:56.16] | With the same gun they shot him with |
| [02:58.91] | Put it to his head and said "You scared ain't ya?" |
| [03:01.41] | He said: "Hustler for death. No heaven for a gangsta." |
