God,
I wanna live to be an old man, but I understand
If you take me, you don't hate me.
No, no, no, no, no, no
I don't wanna live to be an old man,
but I understand.
If you take me, you don't hate me.
No, no, no, no, no
I can turn a monkey into a baboon,
make
Atlanta look like
Cancun
I can turn water into poison, make
Jeepers look like
Jordans
I can turn minutes into hours, make
Delilah take away
Sampson's powers
Take my crew to the
Middle
East for what it's worth
Kick everybody ass, fighting over
God's turf
Oh, yeah
But some cats got gaps
with the red beams
Still chicken -hearted like buffalo wings
Haters mumble deep down
they wanna be me
You got an army, turn them into
ROTC
Pull a gun on
God's son, show your voodoo
The bullet gon' ricochet and kill you
Ooh, let it hurt like a rumor
Ooh, let it hurt
Ow
God don't wanna live to be an old man
But I understand, if you take me,
you don't hate me
No, no, no, no, no, no
God, I wanna live to be an old man
But I understand, if you take me,
you don't hate me
No, no, no, no, no, no
Life begins, it's fast to end
Deep and rooted, instituted,
executed by the same land
Used to play hangman, play kickball
Hit dog, holler man and
swallow from the bottle
Leave a ring around my collar,
clock an end for my dollar
Got my first piece of hot sex in the
Impala
Behind the family dollar gift
Graduated scholar of the street light
Smoke a peace pipe,
try to keep my feet right
High school fights un der the city lights
My introduction to jail
Who gon' raise my bail?
God, thank you for my dad
and my old bird
When times were rough,
you sent down a good word
To soften the hurt and soften the pain
Now I'm walkin' round
town stupid in the brand
Age got ricky, old age took granted
Cancer took my
Uncle
Ralph
Lil'
Brian took a dirt nap
Buy a dirty strap
He caught nine caps to the face,
oh yeah
Promises of long life are
made to be broken
Listen up my folks,
God has spoken, I said
God, wanna live to be an old man,
but I understand
If you take me, you don't hate me,
no, no, no, no, no, no
God, I wanna live to be an old man,
but I understand
If you take me, you don't hate me,
no, no, no, no, no, no
I wanna live to be a century
Brother, when you think of this,
watch it, go remember me
Like
Cascade, cause I'm different
But don't compare me to that
bullshit that they doubt about
I rap inside flight, poetry,
emotion
Cookin' up a potion, smooth like lotion
I love my life,
God, I wouldn't
wanna be nobody else,
God
I bless the one with good health and the ability
to help your brother out the hole
With your musical soul
until I get old
Everybody gotta die one day,
pray for peace
I'm on the streets,
the black doors burns
As the world turns, everybody learns
Everybody learns, we won't let them be wise old men,
being disobedient young fools
My heart goes out,
to the parents of the battle of freshman
QB,
R .I .P. that day he skipped school
Lil dudes al ways thinkin' they got something to prove,
so honor your ma and your pa and everything gon' be cool
I'm startin' riots and wars,
cause I'm tellin' the truth, lil daddy, use that tool
In between your two shoulders,
God visits the lawlessness of
the fathers on the channels
To the 3rd and 4th generations
of folk that ate him
And show him mercy to thousands of people
that love and keep his commandments
Exodus 25 and 6
Can't pass through the eye of a needle
cause he died to be rich
Heavenly
Father thanks for the
wife you sent
She turned out to be a good
God I wanna live to be an old man
But I understand
If you take me, you don't hate me
No, no, no, no, no, no
God I wanna live to be an old man
But I understand
If you take me, you don't hate me
No, no, no, no, no, no
You
Goodie Mob
