[Verse 1: Crucifix]
I fade away from life... walkin' through the danger zone
Down 2 die, my last prayer spoken
I'm a product of the gutter... just a dead man walkin'
I run these streets at night, I can sleep when I'm dead and gone
Down 2 die, I'm sick of bein' broken
Ain't no promise for tomorrow tell me what the point of hopin'?
I ain't never had nothin' but a dirty burner, and a little bit of bud tonight
Down 2 die, if the pain don't kill me
I'm gon' clap black choppers 'til the whole block hear me cuz
I'm just another life sittin' on the edge of murder
So I live it like I'm down 2 die
Down 2 die, I'm sick of bein' empty
I lay my soul to my city 'til Jesus come get me!
[Chorus: Crucifix]
Fade away... Oh Lord, knowin' I could die tonight
All I say... is "so long", then end it like I'm down 2 die
[Verse 2: Sean P]
f*ck it, I'm outlaw shawty
Ridin' on a Harley just me and my Glock 40
Late night, dressed in all black, I'm a gangsta
Suicide shiftin', apes, I sense anger
But f*ck it, I'm livin' like I'm dyin' tonight
Con' liquor got me gone, man my mind ain't right
All my patnaz, they some killaz, we a two-wheel gang
Real untamed guerillas will bust that thang
Thangz don't change, nigga we inherit the beef
And I'm a soldier so I go and cook a steak for the chief
In a ski mask in a dumpster, I ain't playin' no games
Earnin' my stripes, crossin' out you bitch niggas names
The danger zone, I know that I'm playin' it wrong
But go to sleep in these streets and that ass is gone
With all my might, the Lawd just restored my right
So I'm ridin' on you niggas like I'm dyin' tonight
[Chorus: Crucifix]
Fade away... Oh Lord, knowin' I could die tonight
All I say... is "so long", then end it like I'm down 2 die
[Verse 3: Crucifix]
Livin' on the edge, playin' in the dark... Ridin' like I'm down 2 die
The devil's in my head, beggin' for heart... Knowin' I could go tonight
Tell me what is life, if death is creepin'?
Waitin' around the corner to call my name?
In the air tonight, death is speakin'...
Sayin' "pack your soul, cuz it's time to go!"
That's just how it goes in the danger zone
