"If I Should Die Tonight" lyrics
(performed by Swizz Beatz & Ronald Isley)
(from "Godfather Of Harlem: Season 2" soundtrack)
If I should die tonight
Die tonight, yeah, yeah
In the middle for the war tonight
Pow, pow, pow
I just, I just, I just wanna say
I love you, yeah
I thank you, I thank you
If I should die tonight
Another day
Another dollar
Is another problem
I gotta hustle harder
I been through the stars and dark nights
I fight just to see the sunlight
They knocked me down so many times
And I rise
I been up, I been down, I been in between
I done seen things, I been living dreams
Hit the bells that I could in my life
With the cards that I was given, push it to the limit
And so I, I know I can let my life
Speak for me, speak for me
If I should die tonight
Die tonight, yeah, yeah
In the middle for the war tonight
Pow, pow, pow
I just, I just, I just wanna say
I love you, yeah
I thank you, I thank you
If I should die tonight
Down through the years
I've faced my fears
I shed some tears
But I'm still here
I lost friends along the way
It hurts you so much when people change
But you know I'm still climbing
I'm still shining
I been up, I been down, I been in between
I done seen things, I been living dreams
Hit the bells that I could in my life
Every day's a lesson, it's a blessing
And so I, I know I can let my life
Speak for me, speak for me
If I should die tonight
Die tonight (no, no), yeah, yeah
In the middle for the war tonight
Pow, pow, pow (in the middle of the night)
I just, I just, I just wanna say
I love you, yeah (I love you)
I thank you, I thank you
If I should die tonight (whoa, I love you)
Die tonight, yeah, yeah
In the middle for the war tonight
Pow, pow, pow
I just, I just, I just wanna say
I love you, yeah
I thank you, I thank you
If I should die tonight
Another day
Another dollar
Is another problem
I gotta hustle harder
I been through the stars and dark nights
I fight just to see the sunlight
They knocked me down so many times
And I rise
I been up, I been down, I been in between
I done seen things, I been living dreams
Hit the bells that I could in my life
With the cards that I was given, push it to the limit
And so I, I know I can let my life
Speak for me, speak for me
If I should die tonight
Die tonight, yeah, yeah
In the middle for the war tonight
Pow, pow, pow
I just, I just, I just wanna say
I love you, yeah
I thank you, I thank you
If I should die tonight
Down through the years
I've faced my fears
I shed some tears
But I'm still here
I lost friends along the way
It hurts you so much when people change
But you know I'm still climbing
I'm still shining
I been up, I been down, I been in between
I done seen things, I been living dreams
Hit the bells that I could in my life
Every day's a lesson, it's a blessing
And so I, I know I can let my life
Speak for me, speak for me
If I should die tonight
Die tonight (no, no), yeah, yeah
In the middle for the war tonight
Pow, pow, pow (in the middle of the night)
I just, I just, I just wanna say
I love you, yeah (I love you)
I thank you, I thank you
If I should die tonight (whoa, I love you)
