Who lives who dies who tells your story

(Da-da-da-dum da-da-da-dum da-da-da-dum)

This is the story of a
5
Who lives who dies who tells your story
6
My mind flashes, I see the asses of the masters
7
Who test the masses, I ask if I'll ever be one
8
When I die, will heaven be done?
9
What will my legend become?
10
I will forever be young
11
Through old tales of breakdancing down at Odell's
12
Streets named after me is where my soul dwells
13
Desires of a church choir, Trinity United
14
I think of good memories that Hennessy provided
15
Memories divided by perception
16
Will it be water for chocolate or resurrection?
17
The path to perfection is rarely achieved
18
I head in that direction, I dream and believe
19
An underground dude that overachieve
20
From the windy city I was blowing they eaves
21
Somewhere along the way I aired out MCs (who lives who dies who tells your story)
22
But to stand out some days you may freeze
23
Degrees
24
Who lives
25
And who dies
26
Who holds on to all our lives
27
Time and time and time again
28
Will they tell your story in the end
29
(Who lives who dies who tells your story?)
30
Yo, the anticipation arose as time froze
31
The black men in the morgue were John Does
32
Lynched for whistling at blond-oes
33
I said a prayer with my eyes closed
34
As I loaded the roscoe's at the sink, yo
35
I been a bullet on the brink
36
But being a young king
37
Probably different than you think, though
38
The quills that I dip into the ink go to document
39
And you'll remember me when I'm extinct
40
Yo, sing the carol at a young pharaoh
41
Who slew Leviathan with one arrow
42
As I revolve through the gun barrel just to watch it unravel
43
I tell them have heart, must travel
44
Keep my legacy alive even if I don't survive 'til the curtain call
45
First of all, realize what we working towards
46
Fuck around, find what we searching for (who lives who dies who tells your story?)
47
The earth, my name written in cursive on
48
Who lives
49
And who dies
50
Who holds on to all our lives
51
Time and time and time again
52
Will they tell your story in the end
53
(Who lives who dies who tells your story?)
54
Who lives
55
And who dies
56
Who holds on to our lives?
57
Time and time and time again
58
Will they tell your story in the end?
59
(Who lives who dies who tells your story?)
60
Frozen in time, I can't let it go
61
Nat Cole, Unforgettable
62
The pedestal I'm on, I'mma end up on the Federal
63
Reserve note your money with a hip hop quote
64
I might change legislation with some shit that I wrote
65
From boats that we came on to lights with our name on
66
Through hard times, we spark minds to keep the flame on
67
I write hard rhymes like I'm running out of time
68
Truthfully, my stop watch is one with the divine
69
Centuries from now, they'll play my freestyle
70
And say, this is the brilliance of a Black American child
71
Endowed by the streets of the Chi proud
72
Known to move in silence, but can be loud
73
The noise of beat girls and boys
74
Building to destroy the perception of urban aggression
75
My life is a progression, of course for the oppressors
76
A chorus, my story is the glory of the lord
77
Who lives (who lives)
78
And who dies (who dies)
79
Who holds on to all our lives?
80
Time and time and time again
81
Will they tell your story in the end?
82

Who lives, who dies, who tells your stor...
