[Intro: Julio Mena]
All my life, all my love has been given to you
So it's only right, that I give that love back from you
What would you do?
[Verse 1: Cuban Link]
Now if I had to go against the world, would you stand by me?
Back to back, front and center, rockin' right beside me
If I was to ride like Clyde, would you be my Bonnie?
Follow me blindly to the end and never deny me
If they ever try me, would you grab the Tommy and blast it on site?
Despite, you might get locked up for half of your life
Would you go and sacrifice it all without me askin' you twice?
When you see them devils creepin' like the Passion of Christ
That's the type of level I'm on, the rebel in the eye of the storm
Nine in the palm, calm shootin' at 'em, side arm
So many I relied on, the list will stretch a mile long
I put my pride on the line tryin' to find that icon
Now when the swarm be my strength when I'm weak
My eyes when I can't see, my voice when I can't speak
That void that's incomplete, that love that's so deep
They can resurrect me back even after I'm six feet
[Refrain: Julio Mena]
If the world was against me, would you still represent me?
Would you side with me, with me?
Are you down to mislead them just to grant me my freedom?
Would you lie for me, for me?
If I want ya to raise me, it's only you that can save me
Would you die for me? (Oh)
When I'm no longer here and my vision so clear
Would you still ride for me?
[Verse 2: Cuban Link]
Now when the good times were here, they were all for it
Havin' champagne cheers, I was down to pour it
But when that black cloud appeared, they all tried to ignore it
It was my fault, I should've saw it like Dionne Warrick
Caught up in that fast life of New York
Cute broads, hoops with the roofs off
Two-four karats in the new source, who thought?
This would have ended when two dudes fought
That really through me off, had me all confused, Lord
I know, life is too short for all that stressin shit
But ever since my nigga died, I've been sending messages
Some say I'm using his name when I'm just reppin' it
And making sure y'all motherfuckers ain't forgettin' it
Big Pun, if you ain't understand it, then stand down
Sometimes things happen that you can't plan out
It's not about a spouse, askin' for a hand out
It's about the principle of you helpin' your man out
It's not about the money, It's not about the fame
It's about the loyalty we all agreed before the game
That changed, I did my time like the hurricane
Hate locked me up but love is gon' break the chain
[Bridge: Cuban Link]
Yo, if you gon' side with me and ride with me
Put your hands to the sky so my eyes can see
If I die, don't cry, keep it live for me
Throw my ashes in the blunt and get high off me
If you gon' side with me and ride with me
Put your hands to the sky so my eyes can see
If I die don't cry, let me R.I.P
Look my kids in the eyes 'cause that's where I'll be
[Refrain: Julio Mena]
If the world was against me, would you still represent me?
Would you side with me, with me?
Are you down to mislead them just to grant me my freedom?
Would you lie for me, for me?
If I want ya to raise me, it's only you that can save me
Would you die for me? (Oh)
When I'm no longer here and my vision so clear
Would you still ride for me?
[Outro: Julio Mena]
All my life, all my love has been giving to you
So it's only right, that I give that love back from you
What would you do?
