Give Me My Flowers Now

Lyrics
Imagine working hard and having almost everything you could want in life And in the blink of an eye You find yourself fighting for your life Never take anything for granted; not even your last breath If I die in the streets today Tell my mother that I'm sorry the reaper came I haven't reached all my goals Father, please embrace my soul Tryna survive, so while I'm still alive: Give me my flowers now Give me my flowers now 'Cause Father Time countin' the hours down Daffodils, tulips, carnations and lilies by the pound And Shaka Zulu, King Tut, emperor wearin' the proper crown Glorious empire ruler, you should be bowin' down Turn my circuit into a circus like I'm some kinda clown Degradin' my existence, prolific talent and vibrant style Don't say I'm the best when I'm gone I can't hear not a sound Sorry, but my ears ain't workin' if I'm inside the ground Went from shopliftin' in Key Food inside the aisle To usin' [?] to stuff crack inside of vials Road to the riches, my transmission done conquered miles From the hood to Hollywood, makin' my mama proud Comin' to my funeral fake cryin' and hidin' smiles? You undercover haters and culture vultures are not allowed This is for my fans from New York and out of town If I go, let off the streetsweeper, a thousand rounds
