[00:01.97] Man, we gotta go get somethin' to eat
[00:03.30] Man, I'm hungry as a motherfucker
[00:05.35] Ayo man, damn
[00:06.74] What's takin' homie so long, son?
[00:08.55] 50, calm down, he coming
[00:11.57] Ah, oh, what the fuck?
[00:12.97] Ah, son, pull off, pull off
[00:15.48]
[00:18.24] Many men wish death upon me
[00:21.77] Blood in my eye, dawg, and I can't see
[00:24.97] I'm tryin' to be what I'm destined to be
[00:27.78] And niggas tryin' to take my life away
[00:30.33] I put a hole in nigga for fuckin' with me
[00:33.43] My back on the wall, now you gon' see
[00:36.48] Better watch how you talk when you talk about me
[00:39.46] 'Cause I'll come and take your life away
[00:42.12] Many men
[00:43.88] Many, many, many, many men
[00:46.62] Wish death 'pon me
[00:48.26] Lord, I don't cry no more
[00:50.60] Don't look to the sky no more
[00:52.77] Have mercy on me
[00:53.63] Now man, these pussy niggas puttin' money on my head
[00:56.56] Go on and get your refund, motherfucker, I ain't dead
[00:59.56] I'm the diamond in the dirt that ain't been found
[01:02.51] I'm the underground king and I ain't been crowned
[01:05.50] When I rhyme somethin' special happen every time
[01:08.33] I'm the greatest, somethin' like Ali in his prime
[01:11.52] I walk the block with the bundles
[01:12.77] I've been knocked on the humble
[01:14.43] Swing the ox when I rumble, show your ass what my gun do
[01:17.23] Got a temper, nigga, go 'head, lose your head
[01:20.14] Turn your back on me, get clapped and lose your legs
[01:23.13] I walk around gun on my waist, chip on my shoulder
[01:26.09] 'Til I bust a clip in your face, pussy, this beef ain't over
[01:29.49] Many men
[01:31.49] Many, many, many, many men
[01:34.66] Wish death 'pon me
[01:35.76] Lord, I don't cry no more
[01:37.83] Don't look to the sky no more
[01:40.14] Have mercy on me
[01:41.64] Have mercy on my soul
[01:44.02] Somewhere my heart turned cold
[01:46.27] Have mercy on many men
[01:49.08] Many, many, many, many men
[01:52.30] Wish death 'pon me
[01:53.04] Sunny days wouldn't be special if it wasn't for rain
[01:56.30] Joy wouldn't feel so good if it wasn't for pain
[01:59.27] Death gotta be easy, 'cause life is hard
[02:02.06] It'll leave you physically, mentally and emotionally scarred
[02:04.67] This is for my niggas on the block twistin' trees in cigars
[02:07.87] For the niggas on lock doin' life behind bars
[02:10.73] I don't say "Only God can judge me," 'cause I see things clear
[02:13.80] Crooked-ass crackers will give my black-ass a hundred years
[02:16.83] I'm like Paulie in Goodfellas, you can call me the Don
[02:19.70] Like Malcolm by any means with my gun in my palm
[02:22.72] Slim switched sides on me, let niggas ride on me
[02:25.74] I thought we was cool, why you want me to die, homie?
[02:28.84] Many men
[02:30.94] Many, many, many, many men
[02:33.81] Wish death 'pon me
[02:35.36] Lord, I don't cry no more
[02:37.68] Don't look to the sky no more
[02:39.97] Have mercy on me
[02:41.20] Have mercy on my soul
[02:43.57] Somewhere my heart turned cold
[02:45.85] Have mercy on many men
[02:48.68] Many, many, many, many men
[02:51.64] Wish death 'pon me
[02:52.42] Every night I talk to God, but he don't say nothin' back
[02:55.72] I know he protectin' me, but I still stay with my gat
[02:58.48] In my nightmares niggas keep pullin' TEC's on me
[03:01.57] Psychic says some bitch done put a hex on me
[03:04.24] The feds didn't know much when Pac got shot
[03:07.26] I got a kite from the pens that told me Tut got knocked
[03:10.25] I ain't gonna spell it out for you motherfuckers all the time
[03:13.24] Are you illiterate, nigga? You can't read between the lines?
[03:16.40] In the Bible it says what goes around comes around
[03:19.46] "Hommo" shot me, three weeks later he got shot down
[03:22.31] Now it's clear that I'm here for a real reason
[03:25.37] 'Cause he got hit like I got hit, but he ain't fuckin' breathin'
[03:28.33] Many men
[03:30.59] Many, many, many, many men
[03:33.21] Wish death 'pon me
[03:35.14] Lord, I don't cry no more
[03:37.22] Don't look to the sky no more
[03:39.41] Have mercy on me
[03:40.96] Have mercy on my soul
[03:43.06] Somewhere my heart turned cold
[03:45.45] Have mercy on many men
[03:47.81] Many, many, many, many men
[03:51.27] Wish death 'pon me
[03:53.12]

[00:02.15] Yo, follow me, come with me to the dark side of the force
[00:12.33] No man would boldly go, to this place
[00:16.25] The devil only knows, of this world
[00:19.35] So dark and oh so cold, it's oh so cold, oh so cold
[00:24.60] Soon as my flow starts, I compose art like the ghost of Mozart
[00:28.46] Even though they all say that they're real, I know that most aren't
[00:31.87] Boy you think you're clever, don't ya? Girl, you think you're so smart
[00:35.01] Come with me to another side in a world so cold and so dark
[00:38.38] A world so dark, a world so cold, a world where only some will go
[00:43.65] But none return, when will they learn? Where do they go? God only knows (Stay wide awake)
[00:51.01] Fe-fi-fo-fum, I think I smell the scent of a placenta
[00:54.13] I enter Central Park, it's dark; it's Winter in December
[00:57.31] I see my target, put my car in park and approach a tender
[01:00.57] Young girl by the name of Brenda and I pretend to befriend her
[01:03.79] Sit down beside her like a spider, hi there girl, you mighta
[01:06.99] Heard of me before, see whore, you're the kind of girl that I'd a-
[01:10.19] -Ssault and rape then figure why not try to make your pussy wider?
[01:13.22] Fuck you with an umbrella, then open it up while the shit's inside ya
[01:16.53] I'm the kinda guy that's mild but I might flip and get a little bit wilder
[01:19.78] Impregnate a lesbian, yeah, now let's see her have triplets and I'll di-
[01:22.85] -Sintegrate them babies as soon as they're out her with formalde-
[01:26.14] -Hyde and cyanide, girl you can try and hide, you can try to scream louder
[01:29.30] No need for no gunpowder, that only takes all the fun outta
[01:32.49] Murder and I'd rather go "vinn-vinn!" and now you see just how the
[01:35.72] Fuck I do just what I do when I cut right through your scalp
[01:38.88] Shit, wait a minute I mean skull, my knife seems dull, pull another one out
[01:42.15] Soon as my flow starts, I compose art like the ghost of Mozart
[01:45.42] Even though they all say that they're real, I know that most aren't
[01:48.61] Boy you think you're clever, don't ya? Girl, you think you're so smart
[01:51.72] Come with me to another side in a world so cold and so dark
[01:54.89] A world so dark, a world so cold, a world where only some will go
[02:00.27] But none return, when will they learn? Where do they go? God only knows (Stay wide awake)
[02:07.75] So dark and so cold, my friends don't know this other side of me
[02:10.94] There's a monster inside of me, it's quite ugly and it frightens me
[02:14.11] But they can't see what I can see, there's a vacancy in my tummy
[02:17.35] It's making me play hide-and-seek, like Jason I'm so hungry
[02:20.50] She's naked, see, no privacy but I can see she wants me
[02:23.68] So patient, see, I try to be but gee, why does she taunt me?
[02:27.06] Pulls the drapes and she goes right to sleep, I creep right through the front
[02:29.98] See, so blatantly but silently cause I know that she's sound sleep
[02:33.45] "Who's waking me so violently and why's he on top of me?
[02:36.48] He's raping me," she tries to scream, "Somebody please get him off me
[02:39.62] He's taping me, he's biting me, he's laughing like it's funny"
[02:42.95] She's scraping me, she's fighting me, she's scratching like some dumb freak
[02:46.16] Escaping me, no dice, you see, I might just be Ted Bundy
[02:49.21] Or Satan, gee what a sight to see, I'm dancing in my red panties
[02:52.55] I'm crazy but it's all right with me, man life can be so empty
[02:55.75] Stay away from me cause I'm dancing to quite a different drumbeat
[02:58.83] Soon as my flow starts, I compose art like the ghost of Mozart
[03:02.18] Even though they all say that they're real, I know that most aren't
[03:05.34] Boy you think you're clever, don't ya? Girl, you think you're so smart
[03:08.69] Come with me to another side in a world so cold and so dark
[03:11.72] A world so dark, a world so cold, a world where only some will go
[03:16.94] But none return, when will they learn? Where do they go? God only knows (Stay wide awake)
[03:24.08] Better try to stay wide awake, or you might end up found dead by the lake
[03:27.25] Soon as you lay me down to sleep it's your soul I'mma try to take
[03:30.43] Pray for light of day right away, why do they try to fight today?
[03:33.93] I must make them pay twice as much, might as well put the knife away
[03:37.28] Now I use power tools, how 'bout now, are you in the shower?
[03:40.25] Scour you for 6 hours 'til outage of power outlets
[03:43.35] How did you figure out I was down in your basement, now ya
[03:46.67] Musta just heard the sound of my stomach growling from down there
[03:49.92] Prowler, there's no one fouler; bound ya, that's how they found ya
[03:53.01] Face down in the tub I drown ya with piles of downers around ya
[03:56.01] Such nostalgia and power, such prowess, look how you cower
[03:59.34] Jump out on you now like I was Jawa from fuckin

[00:23.92] Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
[00:33.90] To seize everything you ever wanted, in one moment
[00:38.89] Would you capture it, or just let it slip?
[00:42.76] Yo! His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
[00:46.36] There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
[00:49.24] He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
[00:52.21] To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting
[00:54.97] What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
[00:57.61] He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
[01:00.42] He's choking, how? Everybody's joking now
[01:03.14] The clock's run out, time's up, over, blaow!
[01:06.14] Snap back to reality, ope there goes gravity, ope
[01:09.71] There goes Rabbit, he choked, he's so mad but he won't
[01:12.55] Give up that easy, no, he won't have it, he knows
[01:15.08] His whole back's to these ropes, it don't matter, he's dope
[01:18.04] He knows that but he's broke, he's so stagnant, he knows
[01:20.86] When he goes back to this mobile home, that's when it's
[01:23.45] Back to the lab again yo, this whole rhapsody
[01:26.09] Better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him, and
[01:28.52] You better lose yourself in the music
[01:30.76] The moment, you own it, you better never let it go (go)
[01:33.57] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
[01:36.75] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
[01:39.86] You better lose yourself in the music
[01:41.60] The moment, you own it, you better never let it go (go)
[01:45.07] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
[01:47.93] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
[01:50.70] You better...
[01:51.27] His soul's escaping through this hole that is gaping
[01:54.15] This world is mine for the taking, make me king
[01:57.42] As we move toward a New World Order
[01:59.70] A normal life is boring but superstardom's
[02:02.45] Close to post-mortem, it only grows harder
[02:04.91] Only grows hotter, his hoes is all over
[02:07.87] These hoes is all over, coast-to-coast shows
[02:10.71] He's known as the Globetrotter, lonely roads
[02:13.06] God only knows, he's grown farther from home, he's no father
[02:16.58] He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
[02:19.30] But hold your nose, 'cause here goes the cold water
[02:21.87] His hoes don't want him no more, he's cold product
[02:24.90] They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
[02:27.23] Who nose-dove and sold nada, and so the soap opera
[02:30.11] Is told, it unfolds, I suppose it's old, partner
[02:33.22] But the beat goes on, da-da-dom, da-dom, dah-dah, dah-dah
[02:35.68] You better lose yourself in the music
[02:37.60] The moment, you own it, you better never let it go (go)
[02:40.95] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
[02:44.05] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
[02:47.05] You better lose yourself in the music
[02:48.95] The moment, you own it, you better never let it go (go)
[02:52.08] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
[02:55.12] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
[02:57.82] You better...
[02:58.13] No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
[03:00.88] Tear this motherf- roof off like two dogs caged
[03:03.63] I was playin' in the beginning, the mood all changed
[03:06.50] I've been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
[03:09.32] But I kept rhymin' and stepped right in the next cypher
[03:12.43] Best believe somebody's payin' the Pied Piper
[03:15.28] All the pain inside amplified by the
[03:17.77] Fact that I can't get by with my 9 to 5
[03:21.25] And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
[03:24.79] 'Cause man, these goddamn food stamps don't buy diapers
[03:27.63] And there's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
[03:31.77] And these times are so hard, and it's gettin' even harder
[03:34.66] Tryna feed and water my seed, plus teeter-totter
[03:37.55] Caught up between bein' a father and a prima donna
[03:40.03] Baby mama drama, screamin' on her, too much for me to wanna
[03:43.25] Stay in one spot, another jam or not
[03:45.84] He's gotten me to the point I'm like a snail, I've got
[03:48.40] To formulate a plot or end up in jail or shot
[03:51.06] Success is my only motherf- option, failure's not
[03:54.67] Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go
[03:57.31] I cannot grow old in Salem's Lot
[03:59.68] So here I go, it's my shot, feet, fail me not
[04:02.45] 'Cause may be the only opportunity that I got
[04:04.71] You better lose yourself in the music
[04:07.53] The moment, you own it, you better never let it go (go)
[04:10.41] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
[04:13.67] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
[04:16.39] You better lose yourself in the music
[04:18.90] The moment, you own it, you better never let it go (go)
[04:21.79] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
[04:24.82] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
[04:27.43] You
