[Verse 1 - Coolio]
|
Get your back, call tomorrow, life is borrowed
|
all your tears in sorrow and bring it back and that's a fact
|
where would you be at, make sure you're pushin' harder to it
|
the game was changed when the bullshit was brought here
|
our sets are fallin' now they live in love
|
we got five bucks or four reproduction of the clothing and gloves
|
you rather see me in a cell, than see me make my mail
|
and when the story he tell, he trying to make you fail
|
trying to make some money lope but money makes no man
|
if you have no pen than you have no money in your hand
|
we're so dope, dive and steal, anything but payed for real
|
damn you folks, if you wouldn't choked when you forgot to keep it real
|
cops came back, rubbers in the back
|
what you snap when you couldn't lack
|
now you feel the pressure when you didn't count your blessings
|
now we're gone, you are alone
|
told your mama that you was grown
|
one to the neck and three to the chest
|
when you ran for your life all alone
|
now you're gone, now would your homies die for you, fool
|
|
[Chorus - Coolio]
|
I don't wanna die right, he doesn't wanna die right
|
no nobody wanna die but somebody's gotta die tonight
|
she doesn't wanna die right, they don't wanna die right
|
no nobody wanna die but somebody's gotta die tonight
|
|
[Verse 2 - Krayzie Bone]
|
I've cacker-rouches in my black boots
|
nigga we sued them 'till they were in the mud
|
we hold the coffin, it isn't possible they got away running muthafucka
|
in the dust, cought up in the ghetto tradegy
|
that makes a nigga to fall, unless he's tall
|
this is reality mixed with society
|
families tored apart but this tearing apart was hard
|
stand and askin' where is God, dont you try to play missunder Lord
|
and the rest has been said, say rest in peace 'cause my nigga is dead
|
before they beginning to run and make everything go under
|
I'm gonna knock as hard as my mother not gonna wonder
|
'cause I knew it'd be me
|
everyone's coming gathering to see
|
remain in flames what I used to be, this is no more R.I.P
|
you never know when they're coming to get ya
|
but have them bullets ready for protection
|
take them bodies who has fallen as a collection
|
but when they attack, you gotta go, we're under control
|
we gather to squeese us
|
we hope many men will recover in smoke
|
'cause we never die in casulties, and we are the casulties of war
|
we are the casulties of war, we are the casulties of war
|
|
[Chorus - Coolio]
|
I don't wanna die right, he doesn't wanna die right
|
no nobody wanna die but somebody's gotta die tonight
|
she doesn't wanna die right, they don't wanna die right
|
no nobody wanna die but somebody's gotta die tonight
|
|
[Verse 3 - Coolio]
|
I saw them coming from a mile away
|
I couldn't stay I had to make my getaway, I lived to find another day
|
that's how it goes when this game we play
|
everybody on board got a price to pay
|
you better pay attention to what I say, go to Hell if you don't pray
|
these streets are hard, walkin' down the Boulevard
|
like walkin through a prison yard
|
you never know when the bullets fly off
|
the pressure is on your money, boy beginning to fall
|
and your name gotta be stong to make them fools run from court
|
oh man your in jail but you cant call your crew
|
'cause those niggas dont used to be a crew, now they're after you, ooo
|
people seen that you used to be a teen
|
but you ran against the Benz, niggas on the scene
|
I guess they sucked out your brain , cut you in your jeans
|
lucky you're not what they hate but they beat up what they see
|
don't you ever go 'round and scream it seperates the boys from men
|
cought your closest on your seat
|
and that's my dearest fairest friend
|
|
[Chorus x2 - Coolio]
|
I don't wanna die right, he doesn't wanna die right
|
no nobody wanna die but somebody's gotta die tonight
|
she doesn't wanna die right, they don't wanna die right
|
no nobody wanna die but somebody's gotta die tonight
|
(We are the casulties of war
|
we are the casulties of war
|
we are the casulties of war)
|
|
[Repeat until fade - Krayzie Bone]
|
We are the casulties of war
