When I Die Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I die, bury me when the sky is blue
When I die, put a tattoo of me on you
I’ve done my part in life and my message was the truth
Please God, let my mother have a longer life then me
My father raised me to be a man and face responsibility
From the start my heroes have always been my family
For those who loved me, I hope you will remember me
I hope I won't die to be nothing but a lost memory
I hope I'm sent to a place that is Homely
Where my music flows like a Symphony
If you loved me please forgive the sins done by me
Lets hope for Peace & Harmony
Let every bar I spit be a Remedy
Reality exists but I believe its a Myth
Reality is a bad image like a dead kid
I know if I die my haters will like it
Because

[Chorus]
I will soothe your vain
I won't ease your strain
You be in waiting in vain
I got nothing for you to gain

[Interlude: 2Pac]
I believe that you know
This is all in God's hands
And I'm very appreciative to God
For everything I've gotten to do

[Verse 2]
Allah please have mercy on my Soul
When it's my time to go set me Free
Won'tcha save me from this Misery
On judgment day no one is V.I.P
Life's too short, gotta live it A.S.A.P
When they burry me I wish I'll R.I.P
Let it be known my throne won't D.I.E
I'm a Real MC, That's my Real I.D
Every rhyme I written on my CD
Was the truth, So if I wasn't on DVD or BBC
Inshallah you'll still play this on your MP3
Misguided youth have forgotten there ABC'S
And 123's I pray on my knees to see peace on T.V
When I die, I'll leave you and let you be
When I die, My enemies will at last live happily
Because

[Chorus]
I will soothe your vain
I won't ease your strain
You be in waiting in vain
I got nothing for you to gain
