Death threats In the middle of the night Cowards on the telephone Say I've got a pretty daughter with a pretty wife So I got no choice Got on my chopper, got my vest on (Choppered up, vest on) Got on my chopper, got my vest on (Choppered up, vest on) Got on my chopper, got my vest on Yeah, I'm ridin' towards my enemy Before they come and get my family Biggie used to ask what's beef It's when my own countryman wanna kill me I used to rip a flag in the air like I'm part of the set But now it seems like the same set is givin' me death threats All I wanted to be was Commander-in-chief But it seems like they wanna see me six feet deep But no weapon used against me shall prosper (Prosper, prosper, prosper, prosper) Death threats In the middle of the night (What they said?) Cowards on the telephone Say I've got a pretty daughter with a pretty wife So I got no choice Got on my chopper, got my vest on (Choppered up, vest on) Got on my chopper, got my vest on (Choppered up, vest on) Got on my chopper, got my vest on Yeah, I'm ridin' towards my enemy Before they come and get my family Then they labeled me (A populist) Pushed the decision back before they kicked me out the race So they met in Peurto Princess in secrecy They said they heard a rumor that I met with Irish Steve But all I wanted to be was Commander-in-chief So when the food price rise, everyone still eats Give them some books, make sure everybody reads Illiteracy is modern day slavery Death threats In the middle of the night (What they said?) Cowards on the telephone Say I've got a pretty daughter with a pretty wife So I got no choice Got on my chopper, got my vest on (Choppered up, vest on) Got on my chopper, got my vest on (Choppered up, vest on) Got on my chopper, got my vest on I'm ridin' towards my enemy Before they come and get my family The coin that I bet heads on, been tails all along On both sides of the coin So I'm careful who I eat with 'Cause if I'm poisoned, a dead man can't get elected Preacher laid his hands on me, said it's a prophesy But like Bijou Banton, it's my destiny Yo, and I kept the crowd calm But they runnin' out of patience, they got short talk and long arms We disgrace, story come from photo press All the music where the scene gets tense And the perpetrator says, "If you love your life You would take the next plane but you can't survive" You see I won't get the Peace Prize 'Cause I got a rifle hangin' by my bedside A million voices goin' feel like a genocide If my people don't fight for their equal right You see I won't get the Peace Prize 'Cause I got a rifle hangin' by my bedside A million voices goin' feel like a genocide If my people don't fight for their equal right Death threats Me ain't scared In the middle of the night (What they said?) Cowards on the telephone Say I've got a pretty daughter with a pretty wife So I got no choice Got on my chopper, got my vest on (Choppered up, vest on) Got on my chopper, got my vest on (Choppered up, vest on) Got on my chopper, got my vest on Yeah, David shoot Goliath with a slingshot [Foreign Language (What they said) [Foreign Language
