[Chorus: Mastamind, Ice Cube]
Can I rest in peace when I die?
Thinkin' will I live, thinkin' thinkin' will I live
Thinkin' thinkin' will I live, another twenty-four?

[Verse 1: Mastamind]
Can I rest in peace when I die?
Fuck the world up, go to hell then I fry
Did I let the Devil take my soul from me?
Am I just a crash test dummy, riskin' life for bloody money?
Selfish crimes, I know we all got some evil minds
But I'm not afraid to admit it, I'm wicked
And Reel Life I live, but I can't live life right
Still thinkin' about the night I lost my n***a in a gun fight
Still got these killers after me
If that's the way it has to be, listen to my gun scream Blaz4me
Why must I live by an eye for an eye?
It won't be long, can I rest in peace when I die?

[Chorus: Mastamind, Ice Cube]
Can I rest in peace when I die?
Thinkin' thinkin' will I live, another twenty-four?

[Verse 2: Mastamind]
You was born in the ghetto, you gon' die in the ghetto
They stressin' some shit about me being a ghetto devil
Tryna twist my head up 'til I get fed up and croak
Murder one is all I wrote, in my last suicide note
Can't cope with mental stress, can't pass the mental test
Keep my name out your mouth when I'm dead is my last request
Life after death, what's it worth? What's it worth?
When I leave this Earth would you run my name through the dirt?
Why can't I be just a memory, hope my death ain't no mystery
Who the fuck took my misery?
If I can't keep this bullshit deceased when I'm alive
Can I rest in peace when I die? Damn, damn
[Chorus: Mastamind, Ice Cube]
Can I rest in peace when I die?
Thinkin' thinkin' will I live, another twenty-four?
