"Live And Die" lyrics - P.O.D.

I get up Friday morning and I'm late for school
Only 13 but I got mad pull
But it's cool, who need a job when I can steal and rob?
Making all that money, but my mom don't think it's funny
Call up the homies 'cause today's the day
They gonna make a man of me, a gangsta, an O.G
They say I'm young, but I got much heart
Feel like a kid inside, know how to play the part
Gotta get jumped in, but man it ain't no thang
5 minutes of pain for the love of a gang
Might not be right but it's all I know
Messed up and joined a gang
Gave away my soul

[Chorus:]
Nothing matters to me, except right now
Make it through till tomorrow, some way, some how
You don't understand, but it makes sense to me
I won't stop until I rest in peace
Nothing matters to me, except right now
Make it through till tomorrow, some way, some how
You don't understand, but it makes sense to me
I won't stop until I rest in peace

[Interlude:]
Yeah, who's the big man now boy?

I got my first 9-mm, so brothers beware
Looking to get into some trouble
All it takes is a stare (What's up holmes?)
Without a care, I see some fools that ain't from my set r
Represent hat I claim, then take my respect
Scared as heck, but I'm down, how you figure?
You might be big but my trigger is bigger
Bust five shots as I fall to the floor
Within a single second I become hardcore
I knew this morning, it would be one of those days g' I missed them suckers again
But hit a lady and her baby

[Chorus:]
Nothing matters to me, except right now
Make it through till tomorrow, some way, some how
You don't understand, but it makes sense to me
I won't stop until I rest in peace
Nothing matters to me, except right now
Make it through till tomorrow, some way, some how
You don't understand, but it makes sense to me
I won't stop until I rest in peace

[Sample: N.W.A]
And here's the plot
And here's the plot
And here's the plot
And here's the plot
Takin' niggas out with a flurry of buckshots

[Bridge:]
Get that fool
Live by the sword, and die by the sword
Innocent life, what they dying for
Live by the gat, die by the gun
Who suffers when it's all said and done
Get that fool
Live by the sword, and die by the sword
Innocent life, what they dying for
Live by the gat, die by the gun
Who suffers when it's all said and done

[Sample: N.W.A]
And here's the plot
And here's the plot
And here's the plot
And here's the plot
Takin' niggas out with a flurry of buckshots

[Bridge:]
Get that fool
Live by the sword, and die by the sword
Innocent life, what they dying for
Live by the gat, die by the gun
Who suffers when it's all said and done
Get that fool
Live by the sword, and die by the sword
Innocent life, what they dying for
Live by the gat, die by the gun
Who suffers when it's all said and done
