I'd Rather Be Dead

In order to make that trip to the future

As efficiently as possible

There's certain things in the past

You'll have to leave in the past

I'd rather be dead

Than living in a world like this

With nothing to eat

No shoes on my feet

Can't get a job 'cause my skin color

Can't get a cab 'cause I'm a brother

My back's against the wall

In fear I might fall

My last words when I die

Will be fuck yall hoes

Nobody knows me

Nobody owes me shit

So suck my dick

I'd rather be dead 'cause I'm sick

Of all this racism KKK shit

All brothers aint bad

But see you treat us like animals

So we tend to get mad

This is for the suicidalists

I'd rather be dead

Grab a nine and I might just

Cross my heart and hope to die

Pull the trigger

And kiss the whole world good bye

This is for my dead homies

Dead bodies found layin' in my pocket

But ya don't know me

You still creamin' on my old shit

But I aint said nothing new

It's just that you don't know shit

I'm still knockin' 'em out

Knockin' 'em dead

Did what I said

'Cause I'd rather be dead

I'd rather be dead

I'd rather be dead no jokin'

No use prayin'

With the preacher for money

It ain't workin'

No use gettin' me a nine to five

'Cause either way you look at it

I'm breakin' my back to be alive

It goes something like that

Then something like this

Next thing you know I get pissed

My life is up an down

How you think that sound

I'd rather be dead

I can't fuck around

Time is wastin'

Lost the rat racin'

I just found out

My dad's free basin'

Problems fall on my head like a ton of bricks

And all I wanna do is get my gun quick

Bad news

Bad signs

And everytime I wanna talk

Somebody tell me it's a bad time

Another victim of circumstance

Mislead

That's why I'd rather be dead

For those of you who had trauma in the past

(I'd rather be dead)

Experienced set backs

Love didn't work out for ya

I'd rather be dead 'cause I'm pissed off

And I'm mad at the world

I ain't got to girl or no money

Everything's sad but funny

Everybody seems to think I'm a dummy

But I'm gonna show 'em all

I won't miss none of yall

Try to figure out why I did it

You think you know it

I'm gonna hold my breath

And wish my death

And when I open my eyes

I wish that there's no more life left in my body

So I can party with the devil

'Cause I'm goin' to hell

Might aswell

Soul and body

Embedded in a wooden box

When they put me in the ground

People just couldn't stop cryin'

'Cause they heard my soul is dyin'

I'm going to hell

So you can stop tryin' to pray for me

You Should've talked to me

Now I'm gonna haunt your ass

Every night you sleep

You better heed the word

That the dead man said

'Cause one day

You'll rather be dead

There's present tense

There are problems

There are solutions

When we dwell too much on the problems

Your not spending enough time

Quality time

On the solutions

The solutions are the only thing that will delete the problems
