I’d Rather Be Dead Esham

[Verse 1]
I'd rather be dead than living in a world like this
With nothing to eat, no shoes on my feet
Can't get a job cause my skin color
Can't get a cab cause I'm a brother
My back's against the wall in fear I might fall
My last words when I die'll be "Fuck y'all hoes"
Nobody knows me, nobody owes me shit, so suck my dick
I'd rather be dead cause I'm sick
Of all this racism, KKK shit
All brothers ain't bad
But see you treat us like animals, so we tend to get mad
This is for the suicidalists
I'd rather be dead, grab the 9 and I might just
Cross my heart and hope to die
Pull the trigger and kiss the whole world goodbye
This is for my dead homies
Dead bodies found laying in my pocket but you don't know me
You still tripping off my old shit
But I ain't said nothing new, it's just that you don't know shit
I'm still knocking 'em out and knocking 'em dead
Dig what I said, cause I'd rather be dead

[Hook]
I'd rather be dead
