[Intro:] Yea Yea The Cool Turn Me Up Uh huh Yea [Verse 1:] He came back In the same suit that he was buried in Similar to the one his grandfather was married in Yes, he was still fresh to def Blang, two ear rangs, chain laying on his chest He still had it cause they couldn't find it And the bullets from his enemies sat like two inches behind him Smell the Hennessey from when his niggas got reminded And poured out liquor in his memory, he didn't mind it But, he couldn't sip it fast enough So the liquor was just filling the casket up Floatin' down by his feet was the letter from his sister Second grade handwriting simply read "I miss ya" Suit jacket pocket held his baby daughter's picture Right next to it one of his man stuck a swisher He had a notion as he laid there soakin' He saw that the latch was broken, he kicked his casket open And he... [Chorus:] This life goes passin' you by It might go fast if you lie You gonna live then you die Oh oh oh oh If life goes passin' you by Don't cry, if your breaking the rules Makin' your moves, paying your dues Chasin' The Cool [Verse 2:] Not at all nervous as he dug to the surface Tarnished gold chain is what he loosened up the earth with He used his mouth as a shovel to try to hollow it And when he couldn't dirt spit, he swallowed it Workin' like a...hm.. Reverse archaeologist, except His buried treasure was sunshine So when sunshine through a hole that he had drove It reflected off the gold and almost made sun blind He grabbed on to some grass and climbed He pulled himself up out of his own grave and looked at the time On the watch, that stopped six months after the shots that had got him in the box Wringin' henny out his socks Figured it was hours because he wasn't older Used the flowers to brush the dirt up off of his shoulders So, with the right hand that was all bones And no reason to stay, he decided to walk home So he... [Chorus:] This life goes passin' you by It might go fast if you lie You gonna live then you die Oh oh oh oh If life goes passin' you by Don't cry, if your breaking the rules Makin' your moves, paying your dues Chasin' The Cool [Verse 3:] He begged for some change To get him on the train "Dam that nigga stank", is what they complained Tried to light the blunt but it burst into flames Caught the reflection in the window of what he became A long look, wasn't shook, wasn't ashamed Matter fact only thing on his brain was brains And gettin' back in his lane Doin' this thang, first he had to find something to slang Next stop was his block, it had the same cops Walked right past the same spot where he was shot Shot, there was lil' niggas tryna sell him rocks It just felt wierd, bein' on the opposite They figured he wasn't from there so they pulled out And robbed him, with the same gun they shot him with Put it to his head and said "Scared ain't cha?" He said, "Hustler to the death, no heaven for a gangsta" [Chorus:] This life goes passin' you by It might go fast if you lie You gonna live then you die Oh oh oh oh If life goes passin' you by Don't cry, if your breaking the rules Makin' your moves, paying your dues Chasin' The Cool
