Lyrics[edit | edit source]
Another day, another trick
Gotta sell that shit off quick
It's about supply and demand
Money's falling from the sky
I collect before you die
Ain't no tear fall from my eye
Light me up before you kill me
Cause I ain't going down without a fight my friend
The situation's got me up and reeling
And I don't think I'm ever gonna die
The situation's gone astray
Everybody wants to play
Play with fire but not get burned
There's a tiger in my heart
On these streets I tear apart
Anybody in my way
Light me up before you kill me
Cause I ain't going down without a fight my friend
The situation's got me up and reeling
And I don't think I'm ever gonna die
Got connections in the west
I got threads man of the best
Designer shit you've ever seen
I'm a freakin' man of steel
I got loads of sex appeal
Do you wanna make a deal?
Light me up before you kill me
Cause I ain't going down without a fight my friend
The situation's got me up and reeling
And I don't think I'm ever gonna die
And I don't think I'm ever gonna die
I don't think I'm ever gonna die
