DJ Kay Slay, Sammi J, Joell Ortiz, Papoose - Give Me My Flowers Now lyrics

Imagine working hard and
Having almost everything
You could want in life
And in the blink of an eye
You find yourself fighting for your life
Never take anything for granted not
Even your last breath

If I die in the streets today
Tell my mother that I'm sorry the reaper came
I haven't reached all my goals
Father, please, embrace my soul
Tryna survive, so while I'm still alive:
Give me my flowers now

Give me my flowers now
'Cause Father Time countin' the hours down
Daffodils, tulips
Carnations and lilies by the pound
It's Shaka Zulu, King Tut
Emperor wearin' the proper crown
Glorious empire ruler
You should be bowin' down
Turn my circuit into a circus
Like I'm some kinda clown
Degradin' my existence
Prolific talent and vibrant style
Don't say I'm the best when I'm gone
I can't hear not a sound
Sorry, but my ears ain't workin'
If I'm inside the ground
Went from shopliftin' in Key
Food inside the aisle
To usin' Gemstars to stuff
Crack inside of vials road to the riches
My transmission done conquered miles
From the hood to Hollywood
Makin' my mama proud
Comin' to my funeral fake
Cryin' and hidin' smiles?
You undercover haters and culture
Vultures are not allowed
This is for my fans
From New York and out of town
If I go, let off the streetsweeper
A thousand rounds

If I die in the streets today
Tell my mother that I'm sorry the reaper came
(I'm so sorry)
I haven't reached all my goals
Father, please, embrace my soul
Tryna survive
(Survive) , so while I'm still alive:
Give me my flowers now

I'm doing well, I'm focused
As I remain a upper echelon
Developed vocalist who never sells the most
It's cool, I'm chillin', I ain't mad
I ain't yellin' all I'm tellin folk is:
If you truly fuck with me
Don't let it go unnoticed
As I recline in this loveseat
Thinkin' back to the crack
I used to stash in sofas, feelin' mad emotion
'Cause, I was trapped in that trap
When the funny cat approaches
Then the magnum roastin'
Now I'm sittin' in these
Sessions in the studio
Writin' somebody's magnum opus
See my face when the mag gets opened
I hit the club and a magnum opens
Make eye contact with a jawn
Later on a gold Magnum opens
Don't confuse this with braggadocious
I ain't flexin'
I'm just grateful I ain't have
A early casket closin'
Don't give me roses when they
Put me in the ground
Scream "yow" or give a nigga his
Flowers while he's still around

If I die in the streets today
Tell my mother that I'm sorry the reaper came
(I'm so sorry)
I haven't reached all my goals
Father, please, embrace my soul
Tryna survive
(survive) , so while I'm still alive:
Give me my flowers now

Everyone's favorite saying seems to be
"No weapon that is formed
Against thee shall prosper"
But those weapons will form
And you better pray that they do not prosper
Stay woke
