(Hook) I know all of y'all hear me, none of y'all scare me Cause niggas die daily Coming out with my guns real early Laying in your stairway, cause niggas die daily So I got niggas around you Mad like they're back for their man You've killed just a year ago today So call it a death anniversary Rushing to emergency, niggas die daily (Nas) What if I told you that AZ didn't exist And I put him there, played it like a ventriloquist Cause niggas spit fake shit and y'all respect it I spit that real shit and y'all won't buy the record What if me and the rapper homey was really cool And we used that whole thing as a media tool Would you say I was a sucka or say I was savvy If I told you mothafucka's that me and K wasn't married? What if Jungle wrote my shit and I'm really illiterate And the whole Nas catalog was just an experiment What if I really died when Ill Will got shot This is Will rhyming right now while Nas is chilling with 'Pac What If I did all the advertisements thrown my way And I've boned every chick that would throw me some play I'd have to load another AK cause niggas be jealous Cause we real like them Brazil favelas (Hook) I know all of y'all hear me, none of y'all scare me Cause niggas die daily Coming out with my guns real early Laying in your stairway, cause niggas die daily So I got niggas around you Mad like they're back for their man You've killed just a year ago today So call it a death anniversary Rushing to emergency, niggas die daily (Verse 2) Scream at the nigga "breathe don't breathe your last breath" But you know a nigga dead when he pee on himself Blatter giving up on 'em, face start to puff on 'em Bloating up, nigga cold as fuck, trying hold on 'em Loosen up the nine out of his fingers Angels coming only he can hear the psalms that they're singing And it hurts me, the planets cursed, B This your niggas first year anniversary This how it goes down in every ghetto So it's quite natural for rappers to settle And make pop music, nursery hooks Cause back then we thought the only thing that worked was the jooks They're tryna pimp a game that done pimped them first I'm pimping the industry so they acknowledge our worth The next anniversary we all unite Let's all get together or we're loosing the fight (Hook) I know all of y'all hear me, none of y'all scare me Cause niggas die daily Coming out with my guns real early Laying in your stairway, cause niggas die daily So I got niggas around you Mad like they're back for their man You've killed just a year ago today So call it a death anniversary Rushing to emergency, niggas die daily
