Before I Die - Guilty Simpson

I wanna set mines' soul straight

Should never have to pay another light bill late

Everything great

Male-born steaks on the grill on the estate, right by the lake

(Before I die)

I wanna travel the world and see things

Instead of livin illegal, livin the street dream

They say it’s hard to imagine

Since so many fears go out in that fashion

(Before I die)

I wanna have a wife and kids

To tell in detail of the life we live

Half-ashamed of the things we did

Some friends dead, some friends with beards

(Before I die)

I wanna make peace with God

Instead of braking my neck tryin to keep the job

They say dreams come true

Before I go, these things I must do

(Done some things bad, done some things good)

(Blow your mind, the soul is getting me awful)

(From the beginning to the ending, I am not to lose)

(One day we’ll rule the game, in the game of Hip-Hop)

(Before I die)

I want big cars, Cuban cigars

Doin' lunch with the stars

Luxory hotels and five-star suites

Play-off ball games and front-row seats

(Before I die)

I need Hip-Hop to rise

Instead of looking all through restless eyes

Praying for changes

Cuz nowadays cats do whatever to make it, just to be famous

(Before I die)

I need to be stable with?

S-Fro?

And add new emcees to cash check fo'

Platinum plaques and world-wide tours

Various awards in store, we want more

(Before I die)

We tryin to rebuild the hood

Where scavengers run ya' in and steal your goods

They say dreams come true

Before I go, these things I must do

(Before I die)

(Done some things bad, done some things good)

(Blow your mind, the soul is getting me aweful)

(From the beginning to the ending I am not to lose)

(One day we’ll rule the game, in the game of Hip-Hop)

(In my lifetime, I did it all)

(Done somethings bad, done somethings good)
