[Intro/Chorus: Ginuwine]
    Momma told me one day it was gonna happen
  But she never told me when
  She told me it would happen when I was much older
  Wish it would've happened then (Is this the end?)
    [Chorus]
    [Verse One: Puff Daddy]
    Sometimes I be wakin up at high noon
  sayin, "Why me Lord?" -- folks thinkin I'ma die soon
  I just tell em keep seekin, but when they sleepin
  I be concealed up in my room, knowin that it could happen
  I'm just tryin to maintin, because the future is untold
  till the static unfolds that the good die young
  Please God let a Bad Boy die old
  Do you think I wanna lie cold
  Or better yet have many shots come close to the head
  Shirt soaked til it's red
  The most that was said was that my homies had a toast to the dead
  Do I need a pack a vest for stress so I can rest
  Cause even though I'm blessed in my flesh
  It all came down to a test
  A motherfucker wanna go and put a tattoo on my chest
  Now I'm caught up in the mix and I can't do shit, but still
  I can't ride with program, fearing no man
  Hit the car door let the door slam it's a blessing that he had slow hands
  But he's still right behind me
  All these heartless fools is steady comin after my P
  So many phony niggaz lovin to hate Sean
  So many cheddar niggaz comin after my cheese
  Is it my car that they're losin, are we all for the choosin?
  Or is it all in confusion? Better yet all an illusion
  Shots rang through the hall bullets cruisin for bruisin
  Don't let this heartless bastard take my life away
  I don't wanna conceive takin his either
  Dipped into the back and took a breather
  Heard steps steady in closin with the bullet skeezer
  Gotta do somethin, I ain't scared to go
  but yet my heart is steady pumpin for somethin
  I refuse to be the one that they be dumpin
  Gotta get away before the techs start gunnin
  Bodies start jumpin, wreckin my brain not to try and understand
  but withstand, is it cause I'm a rich man
  Or just to try to put a brother down in the dirt like quicksand
  But no matter what the reason, I don't wanna stop breathin
  There's dreams to fulfill still
  Can't complete em with a still kill
  Face to face with enemies still grill
  Forgive me for the pain I've caused and the sins I've committed
  even though I'm not hopin to go
  I wish someone would open the do'
  This man's holding the trigger and his finger's steady choking it slow
  Is this the end?
    [Chorus]
    [Chorus Two: Ginuwine]
    Just, can't, let, go (Is this the end?)
  I, just, don't, know
  Wish it would've happened then
    [Verse Two: Puff Daddy, Twista]
    Did I just hear a tight jam, now it's on let make my maneuver
  Hit the alley saw a man in a landcruiser
  In his hand was a Ruger, dipped in a Lex like Luger
  Heard shots from a steel bruiser
  Teflon in the seat took a pale stress
  Felt the hate on my chest as I placed on my vest
  What's wrong with the brakes in the LX?
  Ran straight into a lightpole, just before I got my life stole
  A car came to the rescue
  I bailed in and said, "Bless you
  But what made me the man you would wanna show help to?"
  I proceeded to ask him, and he said with a passion
    I could never watch a soul die, plus you the man lookin too fly
  (But who are you?) The pimp nigga named Twista from the cold Chi
  When the sun's shy gotta keep one eye, nigga I been shot at and stole on
  No protection from one time, only caught for my prime
  So I asked the Father what I did so wrong?
  Cause shit it's been hard for me besides chief
  and the smell of sweet news when the beef brew
  Motherfuckers steady ballin but steady fallin
  right in detours, bout to hit my feet soon
  So I just presume, deep into the rhymes of a rapper
  Prepare my mind for the capture
  Thinkin Ginuwine like the bachelor
  But why these niggaz wanna make us into crime with the rapture?
  Ego for dispersin us, don't even hurt the clutch
  Cause he's coldblooded and merciless
  Steady bustin shots at both of us, was the strap close to us
  Then for survival we both to bust
  But Renaults get to roast to crush, cause he steady gettin closer
  Paranoid like a crackfiend when the gat seen
  scream when the bullet hit me in the shoulder
  Don't wanna die til I get older
  Try to visualize the beholder, he's inconceivable
  so now my sight is gettin dark a lot
  Best to step off in this parking lot where them dogs bark a lot
  And try to wait until his ma get hot
  I can make a person fight to survive whether good or connivin
  You never know when it's your time to leave
  Smokin weed to keep my mind at ease, let's go back to the car
  but wait, I can't find the keys
  Plus we didn't chill long enough, the footsteps are comin close
  Is it one of them unholy men?
  With a strap ready to boldly sin
  Mama told me it was comin, but I wish she woulda told me when
  Is this the end?
    [Chorus 2X]
    [Chorus Two fades out at the end]
