If we don’t kill ourselves we’ll be the leaders of a messed-up generation If we don’t kill ourselves will they believe us if we tell them the reasons why Do we take it too far, take it too far Did we chase the rabbit into wonderland There’s a hundred grand, will they understand It was all to stay awake for the longest
My sean always afterwards Lost tubes, half the class of us You might not see the last of us Stick around, jetlag, get lost a plus Not half mile, always on fly, keep the sun to let you know what we’re coming And we’re nasty men Don’t need sleeping beauty It’s what you did to me Come midnight and daybreak Yes please go find me a name sake We got firm faith, don’t need bibles Take the michael, hit my recycle while I hold the title Quite riddle, we get high on the office
It was all to stay awake for the longest time It was long, it was wrong But it felt so right See you at the finish line I see you at the finish line If you got the heart to join us
If we don’t kill ourselves we’ll be the leaders of a messed-up generation If we don’t kill ourselves will they believe us if we tell them the reasons why Do we take it too far, take it too far Did we chase the rabbit into wonderland There’s a hundred grand, will they understand It was all to stay awake for the longest

We just grow, if it’s late Then we’ll show, read and wait We just grow, if you hate We don’t show, we don’t wait We just grow, if it’s late Then we’ll show, read and wait We just grow
If we don’t kill ourselves we’ll be the leaders of a messed-up generation If we don’t kill ourselves will they believe us if we tell them the reasons why Do we take it too far, take it too far Did we chase the rabbit into wonderland There’s a hundred grand, will they understand It was all to stay awake for the longest
[Chorus] [Nelly] My New York lover You lift to far away (yeah yeah) [Ashanti] My St. Louise lover
What can I do to make you stay
[Nelly] I wanna tell you that I understand now Shorty I really think I do [Ashanti] I wanna tell you that I need you right now I'm speaking nothing but the truth
I know it wasn't right I can't even sleep at night Can't get it off my mind I need to get out of sight Before I end up behind bars
What started out as a simple altercation Turned into a real sticky situation Me just thinking on the time that I'm facing Makes me wanna cry
Cause I didn't mean to hurt him Could've been somebody's son And I took his heart when I pulled out that gun
Rum pum pum rum pum pum pum rum pum pum pum Man Down Rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum Man Down
Oh mama mama mama I just shot a man down In central station In front of a big ol' crowd Oh Why Oh Why Oh mama mama mama I just shot a man down In central station
It's a 22 I Call her Peggy Sue When she fits right down in my shoes What do you expect me to do If you're playing me for a fool I will lose my cool And reach for my fire arm
I didn't mean to lay him down But it's too late to turn back now Don't know what I was thinking Now he's no longer living So I'm bout to leave town
Cause I didn't mean to hurt him Could've been somebody's son And I took his heart when I pulled out that gun
Rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum Man Down Rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum Man Down
Oh mama mama mama I just shot a man down In central station In front of a big ol' crowd Oh Why Oh Why Oh mama mama mama I just shot a man down In central station
