I want you to ask yourself one question
If you had 24 Hrs to live, what would you do?
That's some deep [bad word] right there, a lot of pressure
How would you handle it?
Mase, what would you do?

Yo, I'd turn out all the hoes that's heteroual
Smack conceited niggas right off the pedestal
I'd even look for my dad that I never knew
And show him how I look in my Beretta, too
I'd do good [bad word] like take kids from the ghetto
Show them what they could have if they never settle

Take every white kid from high class level
Show 'em what Christmas like growin' up in the ghetto
Teach niggas how to spend, stack the rest
Give blunts to the niggas under massive stress
Give every bum on the street cash to invest
And hope Harlem will blow up be my last request

Yo, yo if I had 24 Hrs to kick the bucket, [bad word] it
I'd probably eat some fried chicken and drink a nantucket
Then go get a jar from Branson
And make sure I leave my mother, the money to take care of grandson
Load the three power, hop in the Eddie Bauer
And go give all six to that papi that sold me flour

Get a fresh baldy, make a few calls
Shop at the mall, shoot a lil' ball
Have all of my [bad word] on one telly at the same time
Spread it out on different floors
And I'm gon' play lotto, for what?
Even though I ain't gon' be here tomorrow, so what

You know when I was close to the ledge
I'd probably be in the wedge
With this bare Spanish mami playin' 'tween my legs
Then I'm off to get choke and smoke one a them dreads
And get that [bad word] from '89 that gave us up to the feds
Thought of momma, wrote her a note, we ain't close
I hate her boyfriend so I put one in his throat

 [bad word] around and sniff an ounce of raw, bust the four
Fours, pull out my [bad word] and take a [bad word] on the floor
Jump in the whip, get them cats I wanted to get
Since the Tavern on the green robbery in eighty-six
Went home, took a shower in nice cold water
And spent my last hours with my son and my daughter

If you had 24 Hrs to live just think
Where would you go?
What would you do?
Who would you [bad word] 
And who would you wanna notify?
Or would yo' [bad word] deny that yo' [bad word] about to die?

If you had 24 Hrs to live just think

What hey yo, if I had 24, [bad word] gotta get the raw [bad word] all them Papi's spot, put one in his head at the door
For the times that I paid for 20 an he gave me twelve
The other eight had to be baking soda by itself
So papi [bad word] you, you dead now, I'm off to the bank
With those bricks in a bookbag and a stolen jag I just grabbed

Went in there grabbed the bank teller with the pretty face
 [bad word] her in the safe and have her take me to my place
We'll make a kid but that's selfish and that'll be bad
For my son to have the same [bad word] his pop's just had
And when I'm down to 23, I'm a be strapped with TNT [bad word] up in City Hall and take the judges with me

If I had 24 Hrs to live, I'd probably die on the fifth [bad word] in the station squeezin' the inf'
I'll be waitin' to get to [bad word] and bust down Satan
Styles' on this [bad word] and I got spot vacant
Back to the 24, I make it out the precinct
Shootin' niggas that I hate in they face while they eatin'

I'm on the job robbin' every so-called Don
Give the money to my moms and tell her that I'm gone
I would school my little brother that niggas mean him harm
He should learn to tell the future without readin' palms
When [bad word] in with the bullets, you prepared with the bomb
So [bad word] bein' violent get stocks and bonds

24 left until my death
So I'm gon' waste a lot of lives, but I'll cherish every br
