How Long Will They Mourn Me Lyrics by Maino
(Intro)
Now I lay you down to sleep, pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake, pray the Lord my soul he'll take
(Verse 1)
Shots fly, I'm hit, son, pain in my right lung
Killa stayin' ova me, his eyes are sayin' murder me
Mind racing, heart pacing, I'm breathing with urgency
Holing in my chest, my Versace t- is bugging me
I might not make it to emergency
Tryin' not to panic, suddenly, a thought occurred to me
Waitin' for the verdict, what it happened if I murdered
What exactly will they say, will they say that I deserved it?
Is this gon' be my faith? Am I 'posed to die today?
Am I being punished for my sins because I didn't pray
Most niggas happy that I made it
To my son am I the greatest?
Do my enemies wanna kill me more because I got famous?
Who gon' come and get me? What if heaven don't accept me?
What if God don't like Gs so hell is where they send me?
Got me layin' on the street, I can feel my heart beat
Man, it's cold underneath this white sheet
(Hook)
How long will they mourn me?
I think I will never
Promise me my name will live forever
How long will they mourn me?
You're waiting till I'm married
For you to now tell me that you love me
They gon' miss me till I'm gone
My homies know it's on
When it's over now, how long will they mourn?
How long will they mourn me?
Promise me my name will live forever
(Verse 2)
It's crazy that you can get your life snatched
Had too much to drink, screaming 'we need Chinx back'
Can't sleep, dreamin', thinkin' I just seen stacks
It ain't a game how my pain underneath tats
From a city where the homies dyin' early
Fuck rap, hard enough just tryna make it to your thirties
Bullets flyin', mama cryin', killed his son, now he got buried
Now retaliation on my niggas' mind, ridin' dirty
Fuck fame, I got one foot in the grave
Neva know who lurkin', wanna take my life away
Ain't no luv for the others, I don't really miss my own kind(?!)
Doin' most this killin', it's a mission just to stay alive
(Hook)
How long will they mourn me?
I think I will never
Promise me my name will live forever
How long will they mourn me?
You're waiting till I'm married
For you to now tell me that you love me
They gon' miss me till I'm gone
My homies know it's on
When it's over now, how long will they mourn?
How long will they mourn me?
Promise me my name will live forever
(Outro)
Rest in peace to that boy Chinx
Sendin' luv to his family and friends
RRS, coke boys, yeah
For them fallen comrades and insurgents
We still ridin'
I know niggas wanna put me in a box
But I tell 'em when they see me
When they meet me, let it be known
I'mma be smiling, baby
Tell God I'm comin', just not today
