24 Hrs. to Live (feat. The Lox, Black Rob & DMX)

I want you to ask yourself one question
If you had 24 Hrs  to live  what would you do
That's some deep sh*t right there  a lot of pressure
How would you handle it
Mase  what would you do
Yo  I'd turn out all the hoes that's heterosexual
Smack conceited niggas right off the pedestal
I'd even look for my dad that I never knew
And show him how I look in my Beretta  too
I'd do good sh*t like take kids from the ghetto
Show them what they could have if they never settle
Take every white kid from high class level
Show 'em what Christmas like growin' up in the ghetto
Teach niggas how to spend  stack the rest
Give blunts to the niggas under massive stress
Give every bum on the street cash to invest
And hope Harlem will blow up be my last request
Yo  yo if I had 24 Hrs  to kick the bucket  f**k it
I'd probably eat some fried
Chicken and drink a nantucket
Then go get a jar from Branson
And make sure I leave my mother
The money to take care of grandson
Load the three power  hop in the Eddie Bauer
And go give all six to that papi that sold me flour
Get a fresh baldy  make a few calls
Shop at the mall  shoot a lil' ball
Have all of my b**ches
On one telly at the same time
Spread it out on different floors
And I'm gon' play lotto  for what
Even though I ain't gon' be
Here tomorrow  so what
You know when I was close to the ledge
I'd probably be in the wedge
With this bare Spanish mami playin' 'tween my legs
Then I'm off to get choke and
Smoke one a them dreads
And get that b**ch from '89
That gave us up to the feds
Thought of momma
Wrote her a note  we ain't close
I hate her boyfriend so I put one in his throat
F**k around and sniff an ounce of raw  bust the four
Fours  pull out my dick and take a piss on the floor
Jump in the whip  get them cats I wanted to get
Since the Tavern on the green robbery in eighty-six
Went home  took a shower in nice cold water
And spent my last hours with
My son and my daughter
If you had 24 Hrs  to live just think
Where would you go
What would you do
Who would you screw
And who would you wanna notify
Or would yo' a** deny that yo' a** about to die
If you had 24 Hrs  to live just think
Where would you go
What would you do
Who would you screw
And who would you wanna notify
Or would yo' a** deny that yo' a** about to die
What hey yo  if I had 24  ni**a gotta get the raw
Run all them Papi's spot  put one in his head at the door
For the times that I paid for 20 an he gave me twelve
The other eight had to be baking soda by itself
So papi f**k you  you dead now  I'm off to the bank
With those bricks in a bookbag
And a stolen jag I just grabbed
Went in there grabbed
The bank teller with the pretty face
F**k her in the safe and have her take me to my place
We'll make a kid but that's selfish and that'll be bad
For my son to have the same sh*t his pop's just had
And when I'm down to 23  I'm a be strapped with TNT
Run up in City Hall and take the judges with me
If I had 24 Hrs  to live  I'd probably die on the fifth
Run in the station squeezin' the inf'
I'll be waitin' to get to hell and bust down Satan
Styles' on this sh*t and I got spot vacant
Back to the 24  I make it out the precinct
Shootin' niggas that I hate in they face while they eatin'
I'm on the job robbin' every so-called Don
Give the money to my moms
And tell her that I'm gone
I would school my little brother
That niggas mean him harm
He should learn to tell the future
Without readin' palms
When they come in with the bullets
You prepared with the bomb
So f**k bein' violent get stocks and bonds
24 left until my death
So I'm gon' waste a lot of lives
But I'll cherish every breath
I know exactly where I'm goin'
But I'ma send you there first
And with the sh*t that I'll be doin'
I'ma send you there worse
I've been livin' with a curse
And now it's all about to end
But before I go  say hello to my little friend
But I gots to make it right  reconcile with my mother
Try to explain to my son  tell my girl I love her
C-4 up under the coat  snatch up my dog
Turn like three buildings on Wall Street  into a fog
Out with a bang  you will remember my name
I wanted to live forever  but this wasn't fame
If you had 24 Hrs  to live just think
Where would you go
What would you do
Who would you screw
And who would you wanna notify
Or would yo' a** deny that yo' a** about to die
If you had 24 Hrs  to live just think
Where would you go
What would you do
Who would you screw
And who would you wanna notify
Or would yo' a** deny that yo' a** about to die
If you had 24 Hrs  to live just think
Where would you go
What would you do
Who would you screw
And who would you wanna notify
Or would yo' a** deny that yo' a** about to die
If you had 24 Hrs  to live just think
