Esham - Dead By Day Lyrics
They say I'm gonna be dead by dayFrom the words I say, so heyIf I get a little wicked it's okBut I gotta get paid *****in' ayI'm not bitin' my tongue andI did not stutterI'm that brotha, word to the mother*****erAnd if you don't know me, I feel you should knowI add a little rock and roll and clock the doughI sell my soul to the preacher's churchI ain't with the bullshit, you get your preachin' ass hurtYou wanna judge me, when I don't judge youI tell the ho true be nothin' but the truth sooooooYou want me dead now, so go ahead nowBut I'd rather be dead, so how you like me now?You can't kill me, but I'm bound to dieWhen the devil gets inside you you wonder whyIt ain't a new thang, it ain't old seedThe truth is always new, but never told seeIt's that the devil's the preacher and God's the presidentAnd hell's the ghetto and I'm a residentThey lockin' up brothers for petty crimes and petty theftThe government's the leadin' cause of deathThen they tell me I don't know how to actWhen the mayor sells ki's on Spillum and MackGod damn, it ain't no where to go'Cause they still look at us as niggaz and hoesSo yo, they got me trapped inside a circle360 degrees that I don't believe in***** that shit I wanna bankrollAnd if I gotta sell my soul, then I'll do soSometimes I care sometimes I won'tBut then I can't afford to care so I don'tYou may thinks this way so when I sayYou better push play 'cause I'll be dead by dayI'm dead foolHow you gonna kill a dead manI'll be dead by dayThey don't care about you or meThe white man tells the black man's historyThe KKK looks after meAnd up to this day niggaz still ain't freeI ain't no racistBecause we all got red blood, just different facesBlacks kill blacks, and whites kill themselvesEither way you look at it we all dyin' youngSo ***** it
