death before dishonor

Singer:jelly roll

ah

excuse me honor

but it's death before dishonor

ha ha ha. i run to the flame

reaching in the fire

standing at the alter

am i preaching to the choir

lord to these streets

they led me to the slaughter

excuse me your honor but it's death before dishonor

run into the flame

reaching in the fire

standing at the alter

am i preaching to the choir

lord to these streets

they led me to the slaughter

excuse me your honor but it's death before dishonor

drug dealers and pill poppers

see that's my real partners

still robbin'

still mobbin'

all my partners is still poppin'

phil collins

i feel it in the air

and i came from the bottom

made a killin' in a year

i feel like it can't be done if i can't do it

had a hell of of a run

left the top like ray lewis

can believe this shit

all this lean i sip

keep the 40 on my hip

with this king sized clip

and god knows

if the feds come and pick me up

then it ain't no negotiatin' i'm goin' for sixty months

my partner blew trial

the game isn't right

told the judge to fuck himself right after they gave him life

i run to the flame

reaching in the fire

standing at the alter

am i preaching to the choir

lord to these streets

they led me to the slaughter

excuse me your honor but it's death before dishonor

run into the flame

reaching in the fire

standing at the alter

am i preaching to the choir

lord to these streets

they led me to the slaughter

excuse me your honor but it's death before dishonor

a born gangster

father at the heart

had a daughter at the start

so we try to hustle smart

got a plug made the call

call the ones you trust the most

only the ones that can stab you

is the ones you let close

uh

made a toast time to pledge family first

loyalty was a strong suit

love was his curse

he wanted his guy to prosper

but his guy want his spot

so he was playin' that part

like he was actin' for an oscar

kevin costner

the imposter

jealous hearts conquer

but appear so strong with six shots in the revolver

dressed up like a robber

hit for half a million dollars

reign in the karma
