Give Me My Flowers Now
(专辑: Living Legend - 2020)
[DJ Kay Slay:] Imagine working hard and having almost everything you could want in life And in the
blink of an eye You find yourself fighting for your life Never take anything for granted; not even your last breath [Sammi J:] If I
die in the
streets today Tell my mother that I'm sorry the
reaper came I
haven't reached all my goals Father, please embrace my soul Tryna survive, so while I'm still alive: Give me my flowers now [Joell Ortiz:] Give me my flowers now 'Cause Father Time counting the
hours down Daffodils, tulips, carnations and lilies by the
pound And Shaka Zulu, King Tut, emperor wearing the
proper crown Glorious empire ruler, you should be bowing down Turn my circuit into a
circus like I'm some kinda clown Degrading my existence, prolific talent and vibrant style Don't say I'm the
best when I'm gone I
can't hear not a
sound Sorry, but my ears ain't working if I'm inside the
ground Went from shoplifting in Key Food inside the
aisle To using [?] to stuff crack inside of vials Road to the
riches, my transmission done conquered miles From the
hood to Hollywood, making my mama proud Coming to my funeral fake crying and hiding smiles? You undercover haters and culture vultures are not allowed This is for my fans from New York and out of town If I
go, let off the
streetsweeper, a
thousand rounds [Sammi J:] If I
die in the
streets today Tell my mother that I'm sorry the
reaper came (I'm so sorry) I
haven't reached all my goals Father, please embrace my soul Tryna survive (survive), so while I'm still alive: Give me my flowers now [Papoose:] I'm doing well, I'm focused As I
remain a
upper echelon Developed vocalist who never sells the
most It's cool, I'm chilling, I
ain't mad, I
ain't yelling All I'm tellin folk is: If you truly fuck with me, don't let it go unnoticed As I
recline in this loveseat, thinking back to the
crack I
used to stash in sofas, feeling that emotion 'Cause I
was trapped in that trap when the
funny cat approaches Then the
magnum roasting Now I'm sitting in these sessions in the
studio Writing somebody's magnum opus See my face when the
mag gets opened I
hit the
club and the
magnum opens Make eye contact with [?], later on a
gold Magnum opens Don't confuse us with braggadocious I
ain't flexing, I'm just grateful I
ain't have a
early casket closing Don't give me roses when they put me in the
ground Scream "yow" or give a
nigga his flowers while he's still around [Sammi J:] If I
die in the
streets today Tell my mother that I'm sorry the
reaper came (I'm so sorry) I
haven't reached all my goals Father, please embrace my soul Tryna survive (survive), so while I'm still alive: Give me my flowers now [DJ Kay Slay:] Everyone's favorite saying seems to be "No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper" But those weapons will form And you better pray that they do not prosper Stay woke
