[00:04.95]Yeah
[00:10.03]Yeah
[00:12.32]The Cool
[00:15.04]Turn me up
[00:16.38]Uh-huh
[00:17.64]Yeah
[00:20.18]He came back
[00:21.34]In the same suit that he was buried in
[00:23.04]Similar to the one his grandfather was married in
[00:25.79]Yes, he was still fresh to death
[00:27.99]Bling, two earrings, a chain laying on his chest
[00:30.75]He still had it ’cause they couldn’t find it
[00:32.74]And the bullets from his enemies sat like two inches behind it
[00:35.91]Smell the Hennesey from when his niggas got reminded
[00:38.33]And poured out liquor in his memory, he didn’t mind it, but
[00:41.56]He couldn’t sip it fast enough
[00:43.15]So the liquor was just filling the casket up
[00:45.75]Floating down by his feet was the letter from his sister
[00:48.70]Second grade handwriting simply read, “I miss ya”
[00:51.26]Suit jacket pocket held his baby daughter’s picture
[00:53.70]Right next to it, one of his man’s stuck a Swisher
[00:56.49]He had a notion as he laid there soaking
[00:58.46]He saw that the latch was broken, he kicked his casket open
[01:01.18]And he
[01:01.57]This life goes passing you by
[01:04.22]It might go fast if you lie
[01:06.72]You go and you live then you die
[01:10.57]Oh-oh-oh-oh
[01:11.96]If life goes passing you by
[01:14.35]Don’t cry
[01:15.66]If you breaking the rules
[01:17.11]Making your moves (yeah)
[01:18.56]Paying your dues (uh-huh)
[01:20.78]Chasing the cool
[01:21.87]Not at all nervous as he dug to the surface
[01:24.35]Tarnished gold chain is what he loosened up the earth with
[01:27.03]He used his mouth as a shovel to try and hollow it
[01:29.54]And when he couldn’t dirt spit, he swallowed it
[01:31.40]Working like a, hmm, reverse archaeologist
[01:34.38]Except, his buried treasure was sunshine
[01:36.84]So when some shined through a hole that he had drove
[01:39.49]It reflected off the gold and almost made son blind
[01:41.93]He grabbed on to some grass and climbed
[01:43.78]Pulled hisself up out of his own grave and looked at the time
[01:47.11]On the watch that had stopped six months after the shots
[01:49.56]That had got him in the box wringing Henny out his socks
[01:52.35]Figured it was hours because he wasn’t older
[01:55.06]Used some flowers to brush the dirt up off his shoulders, so
[01:57.82]With a right hand that was all bones and no reason to stay
[02:00.95]He decided to walk home
[02:02.23]So he
[02:02.82]This life goes passing you by
[02:05.64]It might go fast if you lie (yeah)
[02:08.10]You go and you live then you die
[02:11.80]Oh-oh-oh-oh
[02:13.21]If life goes passing you by
[02:15.82]Don’t cry (uh)
[02:16.73]If you breaking the rules (yeah)
[02:18.49]Making your moves (uh)
[02:19.78]Paying your dues (uh)
[02:21.87]Chasing the cool
[02:22.95]He begged for some change, to get him on a train
[02:25.50]”Damn that nigga stank”, is what they complained
[02:27.93]Tried to light the blunt but it burst into flames
[02:30.34]Caught the reflection in the window of what he became
[02:32.76]A long look, wasn’t shook, wasn’t ashamed
[02:35.50]Matter fact, only thing on his brain was brains, yeah
[02:39.08]And getting back in his lane, doing his thang
[02:41.10]First he had to find something to slang
[02:43.09]Next stop was his block
[02:44.66]It had the same cops
[02:46.04]Walked right past the same spot where he was shot
[02:48.29]Shocked that some little niggas tried to sell him rocks
[02:50.99]It just felt weird being on the opposite
[02:53.63]They figured that he wasn’t from there
[02:55.10]So they pulled out and robbed him
[02:56.96]With the same gun they shot him with
[02:58.99]Put it to his head and said, “You scared, ain’t you?”
[03:01.27]He said, “Hustler for death, no heaven for a gangster” and
[03:04.09]This life goes passing you by
[03:06.64]It might go fast if you lie
[03:09.10]You go and you live then you die
[03:13.11]Oh-oh-oh-oh
[03:14.39]If life goes passing you by
[03:16.91]Don’t cry
[03:18.22]If you breaking the rules
[03:19.80]Making your moves
[03:21.13]Paying your dues
[03:23.25]Chasing the cool
[03:26.40]Yeah
[03:28.82]Uh
[03:32.92]Cool
[03:34.55]
