Death Around the Corner lyrics
by Large Professor
[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]
I rather die on my motherf*cking feet 'fore a n*gga live on his knees
Twin Glocks in my palm, back against the wall, I'm ready for war
My enemies die slow when I ride, screaming "THUG LIFE," pistol in the sky
Remember me as a real n*gga when I go
The Hennessy got me riding dirty with my crew, n*gga, M-O-B
pus*y ass n*ggas better duck they tails
n*ggas can't hide when my squad bail, n*gga, we ballin'
Alizé and weed kept on callin', gotta get some more
Intoxicated, got almost had me falling, lemme hit the floor
World Wide MOB figures
I bet you all of my n*ggas ready to die, n*gga
Can you feel me? World Wide MOB Figure
Don't even wear yo' strap, if you ain't ready to die, n*gga
My attitude like "f*ck it," middle finger towards the public
Bringing buckets to all my adversaries and I love it
My momma stress every night, telling me to slow down
I said "Momma, I'm in too deep, ain't no turning back now"
'Cause the n*ggas from the other side, they want me dead
Catch me slipping, roll up on me, put a hole in my head
And the chronic just to get me even more paranoid
Looking out the window, if they coming I'm ready for 'em
Just remember 2Pacalypse never ran from 'em
Ran to 'em, eyes open, with both guns dump'n
And 'til then, tell them motherf*ckers to strap up
Guns blazing when they act up
[Hook]
I see death around the corner
I see death around the corner
I see death around the corner
I see death around the corner
I see death around the corner
[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]
So I move way different than I used to
Eyes in back of my head, everything bulletproof
Walking out the house cautious
Circle round the block twice before my car park it
My allies despise my success so they got me watching my every step
No exaggeration, I know I can feel the reaper's breath
Hovering over me like a helicopter or a 747 on autopilot
All of my problems dissolve once I take control of my own destiny
Hop on my murder chart, overcome the odds
This goes out to all my dogs
Just holler if you hear me, like a Charger made by Dodge, made by Dodge
Just ask Pac what it's like to be ready every night
AK-47 by the window, aiming at car lights
For Makaveli, the MAC is ready to explode
On any motherf*cker who curse his soul
Death around the corner
[Hook]
I see death around the corner
I see death around the corner
I see death around the corner
I see death around the corner
[Verse 3: Jay Rock]
I saw him near last week
In my Oldsmobile, some n*ggas try to blast me
So I c*cked back the 4-5, no lie
Let my trigger finger fly, like "n*gga, n*gga, die"
Close call, player haters wanna see me fall
I shows no mercy, you better be ready for war
f*ck the law, should I ride on my own two
No crew just see what this Mac-11 gon do
Plenty bodies gon' be dropping soon as I come through
Hop out, let it rip – head, slugs go threw
BOW-BOW-BOW-BOW, sound of my melody
"Murder, murder, kill, kill" – what them voices be telling me
Ever since a baby, a n*gga was living crazy
Age 13, playing with heaters ready for beef like
You want it, you can get it anyway that you want it
Hit ya block, parents get smoked fast like marijuana
I trust no one everyday I'm watching my back
It's a well known fact that I see death around the corner
