"God I Wanna Live" lyrics
(feat. Witchdoctor)
God, I want to live to be an old man
But I understand
If you take me
You don't hate me
No, no, no, no, no, no
I can turn a monkey into a baboon
Make Atlanta looking like Cancùn
I can turn water into poison
Make Jeep as look like Jordans
I can turn minutes into hours
Make Delilah take away Samson's powers
Take my crew to the Middle East for what is worth
Kick everybody ass fighting over God's turf
Oh, yeah, but some cats got gats with the red beams
Still chicken-hearted like Buffalo wings
Haters mumble deep down, they wanna be me
You got an army? Turn them into ROTC
Pull a gun on God son, I show you voodoo
The bullet go ricochet and kill you-ooh
Ooh
God, I want to live to be an old man
But I understand
If you take me
You don't hate me
No, no, no, no, no, no
Life begin as fast as it end
Deeply rooted, instituted, executed by the same land
Used to play hangman
Play kickball, hit dog, hollow man
And swallow from the bottle
Leave a ring around my collar
Clockin' in for my dollar
Got my first piece of hot six in Impala
Behind the Family Dollar
Gipp graduated scholar
Under the street light
Smoke a peace pipe
Try to keep my feet right
High school fights under the city lights
My introduction to jail
Who going to raise my bail?
God, thank you for my dad and my old bird
When times was rough, you sent down a good word
It soften the hurt and soften the pain
Now walking around town, stupid in the brain
Age got Ricky, old age took granny
Cancer took my Uncle Ralph
Little Brian took a dirt nap by a dirty strap
He caught nine caps to the face, oh yeah
Promises of a long life were made to be broken
Listen up, my folks, God has spoken
I said
God, I want to live to be an old man
But I understand
If you take me
You don't hate me
No, no, no, no, no, no
I want to live to be a century
Brother, we can think of this [?] gonna remember me
Like Cascade, cause I'm different
But don't compare me to that bullshit
That they dub 'bout
A rapper South flight, poetry in motion
Cookin' up a potion
Smooth like lotion
I love my life, God
I wouldn't want to be nobody else, God
A blessed boy with good health
And the ability to help your brother out the hole
With your musical soul
Until I get old
Now everybody got to die one day, pray for peace
I'm on the streets
The black George burns
As the world turns, everybody learns
Everybody learns
We won't live to be wise old men
Being disobedient young fools
My heart goes out to the parents of America freshman QB
R.I.P., that day he skipped school
Lil' dudes always thinkin' nigga somethin' to prove
So honor your mama, your pa and everything going to be cool
I'm starting righteous wars cause I'm telling the truth
Look, daddy, use that tool
In between your two shoulders
God visit the lawlessness
[?]
To the third and fourth generations of folk that hate him
And show him mercy to thousands of people that love
And keep his commandments, Exodus 20:5 and 6
Can't pass through the eye of needle 'cause I'd die to be rich
Heavenly Father, thanks for the wife you sent
She turned out to be a good asset
God, I want to live to be an old man
But I understand
If you take me
You don't hate me
No, no, no, no, no, no
But I understand
If you take me
You don't hate me
No, no, no, no, no, no
I can turn a monkey into a baboon
Make Atlanta looking like Cancùn
I can turn water into poison
Make Jeep as look like Jordans
I can turn minutes into hours
Make Delilah take away Samson's powers
Take my crew to the Middle East for what is worth
