T.o.d.a.y

Na, na, na
 Hooooh-ooooh-ooooh
 No, no, no
 I done been in this game for years, it made me an animal
 I learned that nobody else can be held accountable
 But you for your career, not your manager, face it
 Even he can fuck up a relationship
 I learned it don't matter who's spittin better
 While these rappers kill each other, them Jews they stick together
 Like glue; and generate more money than FUBU
 For somethin made 'for you by you'
 Every hip-hop nigga listen and wishin' he had your style'll
 Go against you if you rip him or pass him by (yeah)
 A mastermind is somebody who's actually kind
 To everybody, and try to see every autograph is signed
 The humblest way to look at your career
 Is every nigga in here is one hit away (yeah)
 Whatever goes around in rap
 Happens to not come back to me, and I ask you
 If I was to die today
 Would you pick me up because I'm down and out?
 Na, na, na
 "T" represents the time when my hope fades
 "O" is just a sign on my mind on my broke days
 "D" is for the dangerous way that the flow stray
 "A" represents the answer to the question I'm askin'
 "Y" is it today I should (die)
 Damn, right after one quick summer
 Am I a Young MC or a one-hit wonder?
 Is it a following that supports me
 BET, MTV, or "E! True Hollywood Story"?
 Can I hold my own and rap
 Without havin' to go back to Pharrell or Poke & Tone?
 Can a married man still appeal to broads
 Knowin everything he's spittin from here on in gon' be raw?
 Can a nigga simply spit that real shit
 Just for niggas that feel me or will the system kill me? (uhh)
 If I drop this album and it sells
 And the next one don't top it, will it be considered a failure?
 If I had to drop outta the limelight for a while
 Would you still mob me? Hell naw!
 You would not give a fuck about me
 If I worked a regular job, I don't even gotta ask y'all
 If I was to die today
 Would you pick me up because I'm down and out?
 Na, na, na
 "T" represents the time when my hope fades
 "O" is just a sign on my mind on my broke days
 "D" is for the dangerous way that the flow stray
 "A" represents the answer to the question I'm askin'
 "Y" is it today I should (die)
 We just wanna see you survive
 Anytime you wanna talk, maybe either one of y'all
 Wanna give a holla this way (yeah)
 Every lady involved is rootin for the underdog
 You don't let him die today, no!
 Oh no - we ain't tryin' to see
 You go - I want you here beside me
 I don't want it to change - don't die!
 Now as far as my weaknesses
 I have a hard time competin' or charting on SoundScan
 And Mediabase, I respect Dre for teachin' me that
 Money is easy to make, but hard to keep
 As far as my nigga 'Los, I love him
 He showed me you can do a dope album with no budget (yeah)
 With lethal rhymes - they get that
 He brought you into the game, he can take you out outta people's minds (yeah)
 (Die) Those who feel my career will die
 Those who choose to leave me behind
 Are confused cause they don't hear me cry; rather ya ears
 Is ready or not, I know you can hear me now like Mary J. Blige
 I will take the shit
 I will burn yo' bridges and I ain't talkin 'bout our relationship
 What goes around comes around with every person
 Rather it's life or rap whatever, "Death Is Certain"
 If I was to die today
 Would you pick me up because I'm down and out?
 Na, na, na
 "T" represents the time when my hope fades
 "O" is just a sign on my mind on my broke days
 "D" is for the dangerous way that the flow stray
 "A" represents the answer to the question I'm askin'
 "Y" is it today I should (die)
 Hooooh-ooooh-ooooh
 No, no, no
 Die
