3 Minutes to Live

[Verse 1]
That's right
I'm on the floor tryna fight for my life
It's that same old story
Got stabbed a few times with a knife
And I don't think that I'm gonna make it
I feel cold inside
I'll be dead in about three minutes
If they don't stop the bleeding in time
Another brudda dead, it's dumb
My time is up in this world, I'm leaving
So can somebody phone my mum?
Tell her that I won't be home this evening
The mandem look sad
They felt the pain when I said this rhyme
Before I go, can you tell my dad
I'm sorry that we never made it up in time?

[Interlude]
So what would you do?
So what would you do if you had three minutes to live?
Because we as people, take life for granted
And I can't believe that shit

[Verse 2]
Look, yeah, that's me
Lying on the floor, I think I blacked out
I couldn't even breathe but I never tapped out
Cah mummy never raised a brudda to back down
So I keep on fighting, fighting
Just to say alive, I'm back now
Paramedics said suttin' 'bout an artery
And "can everybody move to the background?"
Somebody please help me
I can't feel my legs anymore
Thinkin' I could of gone anywhere I want in life
Why the fuck did I choose this door?
And to that dickhead yute that stabbed me
Brudda, why the fuck did you kill me for?
Got so many young kids that are dying nowadays
Why the fuck did you kill one more? Blackout
I was never on time, I was gonna improve
But I can't be late no more
And the saying goes, I've never felt so alive
Yeah, I can't relate no more
Like whose the best baller alive?
Fam, I can't debate no more
When I got stabbed by a Griezmann, shit got Messi
And I can't explain no more
See I could of had children
A little beautiful brown-eyed daughter
If she couldn't skate, daddy would of taught her
And how to swim, not to be scared of the water
And even though you won't be born
And 'cause of these stab wounds, I can't hug you
This is a note to what could of been
My children, just know daddy would have loved you
Yeah, daddy would of been there to guide you in life
To not make mistakes like he
Yeah, daddy would of been there to kiss it all better
When you scraped your very first knee
But now daddy won't be with you and you won't even exist
All 'cause this yute was intent on taking my life, you're taking the piss
Nah, I ain't going out like this, fuck that
I claw my way from the dark and come back
I ain't gonna leave nobody with no contact
For them to be sitting by the grave with cognac
Somebody better try contact the Lord for my soul
And tell him I want that
I don't care what a brudda's gotta do to survive
Just tell the breddah that a mans on that
If I gotta keep fighting, then I'm on that
I'll change my life for the better
I'll stop walking with a complex
Lord knows I won't chase vendettas
And I'll tell my mother that I love her
Every single damn day on the phone
So please can you grant my wish?
All I really want is just to go home
That's the sound of a heartbeat fading
Telling myself don't go to sleep
For the last time, I'm not ready to leave
What's that daylight that a brudda can see?
If I just believe, nobody grieves
Hold up, lemme just try and breathe
