One Week To Live

One week to live? That's more than I expected to breath I shot the capo in the knee cap before quickly I fled "Go to hell boy!" blindly I yelled that insane night One moment of fright has me looking over my right Goodnight to all I ever knew but tonight I must die But before you stand over my grave I must sigh He tried to play me for a fool, how many days left? A week I suppose before all that love me weep I have a girl to kiss and make love to all night long I will fight for my life before singing that sad song Come and get me killa, come and get me gangsta Five days left before my head rests on a platter Sell my final shipment of goodies to the hood Give a middle finger to anyone who said I was rude Drive one hundred and fifty miles just to do it One hundred miles per hour eating a banana split Two days left and their getting ready to invade On a roller coaster having the time of my life I hope they don't bring a knife to a gun fight I'm ready for war, they don't know what's in store The evening before the showdown I'm stoned Too late to travel the world but imagination rules Read 'The Art of War' several times drenched in jewels Find a dime and on her face slowly begin to drool Rent a weather balloon, the message reads "damn fools!" Last night I couldn't sleep, today I must say goodbye The more I think about it, it sure was a good ride Before I could speak another word I heard a noise Bang! Bang! I took two with me, like a wild cowboy
