If I Should Die Tonight (feat. Swizz Beatz & Ronald Isley) - Godfather of Harlem

If I should die Would you hide my mistakes? I left behind Don't forget to find that key for me 'Cause a woman's pride is worse When she's dead, they've said I find time's never a friend But like wine, a lifetime sweetens the blend And I know that you said forever But maybe you just don't remember Will you think of me when you meet her? 'Cause a love like ours never dies Yeah I'm with you, I'm like your bible Don't matter how many false idols 'Cause I need to know this is vital Will love like ours never die? Never die Never die Ours never die No abras el portal Que nos vamos a embrujar De tantos recuerdos De melodias y el aire salado De huracanes malvados Ay como puedes tenerme así, ay Y si yo me muero Y tienes mil amores Me llevas en la mente 'Cause our love like ours pa siempre You and me forever Even though we can do better 'Cause a love like this (no muere) I find time's never a friend But like wine, a lifetime sweetens the blend And I know that you said forever But maybe you just don't remember Will you think of me when you meet her? Cause a love like ours never dies Yeah I'm with you, I'm like your bible Don't matter how many false idols 'Cause I need to know see this is vital Will love like ours never die? Never die Never die Ours never die In your arms, when you dream (never die, never die) You're here with me (ours never die) Solo hay un amor Solo hay un amor Solo hay un amor In your arms, when you dream You're here with me

Life, death, here, gone, yo If I should die, don't cry my niggas Just ride my niggas Bust bullets in the sky my niggas And when I'm gone, don't mourn my niggas Get on my niggas, when it's real Say word to Shawn my niggas If I should die don't cry my niggas It's been one hell of a ride my niggas In the middle of the trial I flip pies my niggas I did joints with Mary J. Blige my niggas I've eluded the coppers, got booted with Big Poppa Skated through with the Caesar Picadas At high school got head by the lockers Gassed the baddest girl in the class to show me her knockers Rocked jewels, dropped school, still didn't fail Rhymes still written well, hold court in the street Never sit in the cell for a second then I'm gettin' my bail Shoot it out with the bounty hunters fuck Sittin' in the county for summers if they should down me Everybody around us become one for that day To live life get your shit right and play Don't get it twisted like rays if I miss that's okay But life's short don't miss a day If I should die don't cry my niggas Just ride my niggas, bust bullets in the sky my niggas And when I'm gone don't mourn my niggas Get on my niggas when it's real Say word to Shawn my niggas If I should die don't cry my niggas It's been one hell of a ride my niggas Say word to Wais my niggas When I'm gone don't mourn my niggas Just keep gettin' it on my niggas Say word is bond my niggas I got a lot to look back on in '88 Got my crack on ten years later gettin' my rap on Gettin' shorties like a thespian Had an episode with two lesbians, got a fetish for that Drunk ginseng with Japanese chicks and pulled the root out Squeeze my whole clip to survive shootouts Been on both coasts fired all kinds of heat Probably be kinda glad to leave these mean streets I got dead mens to meet and questions to fulfill Like is that mystery God real? And how was Kennedy killed? I ain't mad I must've smoked a ton of reefer sipped nas With Latifah broke the code of Geneva I know when I reach the other side I'ma see the cat I had beef with who blood remains on my sneaker Then it's on again if I could be born again I live my life through my son and tell him never have a friend Just family reincarnated, I'll show him the time That I waited to get paid tell him never be afraid Niggas hearts pump Kool Aid and yo blood run thicker Never shed tears, cry liquor my nigga If I die don't cry my niggas It's been one hell of a ride my niggas Say word to Wais my niggas When I'm gone don't mourn my niggas Just keep bangin' these songs my niggas Say word is bond my niggas If I die don't cry my niggas Just stay gettin' high my niggas Don't wonder why my niggas When I'm gone live on my niggas Just follow my path my niggas Say word to Half my nigga I'm the aftermath of pleasure never die alone Born to live forever through life's struggles I cut corners and took drastic measures See you niggas life expire right in front of me Time could never mend what these cold streets Mentally done to me too often I close my eyes And see my own coffin' feelin' haunted ready to leave This world that I'm lost in my only chance To see the seeds I lost through abortion When I'm gone y'all niggas better not mourn Keep flossin' as long as my name Lives on what's most important I'll be down in hell scorchin' preparin' for life Afterlife still torchin' and blazin' these mics It'd rain for forty days and forty nights And I'd return on the third like Christ Without my physical portion My spirit a poltergeist for sure I'll be back through the heist tomorrow Blood over y'all fake niggas door What you thought? What you thought nigga? If I should die don't cry my niggas Just stay gettin' high my niggas Don't wonder why my niggas When I'm gone, live on my niggas Just follow my path my niggas Say word to Half my nigga When I die don't cry my niggas It's been one hell of a ride my niggas Say word to Wais my niggas When I'm gone don't mourn my niggas Just keep gettin' it on my niggas Say word is bond my niggas If I die don't cry my niggas Just ride my niggas, bust bullets in the sky my niggas And when I'm gone don't mourn my niggas Get on my niggas, when it's real Say word to Shawn my niggas If I should die, I'd tell Big they're still hearin' his songs Run into Pac ask him where we went wrong Tell him life is miserable when ya dealin' in the physical form Is everything that's invisible gone? I need to know will I still feel pain or will it be ironic Will I chill in the flames for all the ills of my brain Can I reveal the game to all the hustlers Trapped in the race and if so can I leave this place Can I puff cigars and drink Cristal If this is heaven to me is this considered heavenly Can I still touch lives answer they whats and whys Make sure everybody in my fam' clutch five If I should die don't cry my niggas

It was a cold and wet December day When we touched the ground at JFK Snow was melting on the ground On BLS I heard the sound Of an angel New York, like a Christmas tree Tonight this city belongs to me Angel Soul love, this love won't let me go So long, angel of Harlem Birdland on fifty-three The street sounds like a symphony We got John Coltrane and a love supreme Miles, and she's got to be an angel Lady Day got diamond eyes She sees the truth behind the lies Angel Soul love, this love won't let me go So long, angel of Harlem Angel of Harlem She says it's heart, heart and soul Yeah, yeah (yeah) Yeah, yeah (right now) Blue light on the avenue God knows they got to you An empty glass, the lady sings Eyes swollen like a bee sting Blinded you lost your way Through the side streets and the alleyway Like a star exploding in the night Falling to the city in broad daylight An angel in Devil's shoes Salvation in the blues You never looked like an angel Yeah, yeah, angel of Harlem Angel, angel of Harlem Angel, angel of Harlem Angel, angel of Harlem Angel, angel of Harlem
