lyrics

Countdown now, 90 days
Another baby mouth coming on the way.
Boy ya gonna steal, boy ya gonna stress,
Boy ya gonna cleaning up a baby mess
How she gonna walk, how she gonna eat
How she gonna live when ya incomplete?
All these thoughts running round ya head,
How's it gonna feel when ya baby dead?

Now we've come to the end.
Tell me what do we have?

Count them days, what you got left?
How many days until ya maker met?
Stretch yo life, stretch yo mind,
With another baby eating all the time.
History loves what history can't buy,
What's gonna happen in the afterlife?
A big fat zero, empty, dead, black
Death don't care how many kids ya get.

Now we've come to the end.
How many kids did you have?

Go, take the night, take your life
Don't let death deter you now
Life won't change, death remains,
And he waits to end you. (but you're no longer here)

Count your grand(children)s on a cal(culator) son,
Tell me what kind of prize you won.
They look like you, they talk like you,
Hope it's okay they're gonna die like you.
So gather up them now while ye may,
And don't save nothin for another day.
Make sure you get high, sure you get lit,
Ya boy Sammy Slims with another hit!

Now we've come to the end.
How many kids did you have?
Does this mind have an end?
Tell me what do we have?

Go, take the night, take your life
Don't let death deter you now
Life won't change, death remains,
And he waits to end you. (but you're no longer here)
