I Would Rather by LaLion Lyrics
I would rather die on my feet
Then live on my knees
The blade pressed to my throat
Offering coughing fees
I promised mama wouldn’t hit a coffin at 23
But all I do is wonder what would happen of I broke free
He said just
Give me all you got
Your boy Jimmy got dropped
Cuz he ain't had nothing inside is wallet, not even rock
So better pull out something I could huff or something to swap
Or else the street gon’ be filled with your fucking teeth in a swamp
Fuck
Thinking fast as flash
With none but lint in my pocket
And the blade papa told me keep with me when I'm walking
Should I pull it out and stab this fucker right in his face
And face the tastе maybe getting hit in mine in his placе
I'm counting 1 mother fucker
1 bloody brother
1 body, 1 way to cover
No way recover
Cold face in summer
I ain't got no options convinced
He said times up fucker
This is where it all ends
I pull my blade out
Blacked out
Stuck it in his fucking face now
Blacked out
Dripping blood changing race now
Blacked out
Black
This is what you wanted huh
Blacked out
Wait now
Blacked out
Found a blade inside my face how
Blacked out
Fucker got me while he came down
Blacked out
Blacked
This is what you wanted huh
Now my blood is fucking boiling
Boy your inside the oil pan
Oh you can stand up on your feet
But you can see a bloody man
Not moving sitting still
Bet he wish he could split a pill
Little by little fingers filled
With ketchup better run you feel
People start to look
Like a movie scene starring me
Why the fuck did I wake up decide to wear a white tee
Wanted to do the right thing
Write dreams like I been spike lee
Unlikely I would get a spike in cheek walking to my seat
And now I'm dripping, whipping, feet envision
Deaths compete with teeth that's filling
Blood I'm coughing up my fillings
Feeling this ends here my fear is what I'm wishing
Picturing pissing this living life away
Day by day every Saturday wish I stayed with dad and prayed
Instead I said I'd get ahead by writing rhymes to buy a bed
And now the place I lay to rest, a coffin often filled with lead, I'm dead
Funny now its fading
Insane I'm thinking bout jimmy
How could I leave him dead instead of fighting for pity
Little did he know when we stepped out into the city
That with me was a life that would leave this mother fucking quickly
Because of
I'm counting 1 mother fucker
1 bloody brother
1 body, 1 way to cover
No way recover
Cold face in summer
I ain't got no options convinced
He said times up fucker
This is where it all ends
I pull my blade out
Blacked out
Stuck it in his fucking face now
Blacked out
Dripping blood changing race now
Blacked out
Black
This is what you wanted huh
Blacked out
Wait now
Blacked out
Found a blade inside my face how
Blacked out
Fucker got me while he came down
Blacked out
Blacked
This is what you wanted huh
Then live on my knees
