Tupac
I been shot and murdered, can tell you how it happened word for word
But best believe n--s gon' get what they deserve
Tupac rapped these prophetic lyrics just two months before he was murdered in a drive-by shooting on the Las Vegas strip in 1996.But best believe n--s gon' get what they deserve
And it was just the first in a string of lyrical predictions that make some people believe that Tupac faked his own death and is still alive today.
The Notorious B.I.G.
I swear to God I feel like death is f-ing calling me
"Suicidal Thoughts" was just one of the tracks on "Ready to Die" where Biggie talked about his own death. Just three years after the album's release, he was shot in a Los Angeles drive-by.
The album released right after his murder? "Life After Death."
Proof
I'm in the club to beef, you gotta murder me there
Rapper Proof dropped that lyric on D-12's song 40 oz. in 2004.
Two years later, Proof was murdered at the CCC Club on 8 Mile Rd. in Detroit, Michigan.
But before that, he starred in Eminem's "Like Toy Soldiers" video - where he played a rapper who was gunned down in a club just like Proof would be two years later.
Big L
I watched all of them, run for they share
And all I can do was stare
I got weak and fell on my rear
Now I can hear the sirens, that means here comes the Jakes
But it's too late, I'm knockin' on the pearly gates
Rapper Big L spit these lyrics in "Casualties of a Dice Game" just a few months before he was shot to death at the young age of 24.And all I can do was stare
I got weak and fell on my rear
Now I can hear the sirens, that means here comes the Jakes
But it's too late, I'm knockin' on the pearly gates
Dolla
You see the rain on my window pane
Waking up in cold sweats having dreams of going out with a bang
My poppa died by the gun, I'll die by the gun
And if I ever have a son he'll probably die by the same
Rapper Dolla rapped these haunting lyrics in "Georgia Nights" just months before he was shot at a PF Changs in LA at the tender age of 21.Waking up in cold sweats having dreams of going out with a bang
My poppa died by the gun, I'll die by the gun
And if I ever have a son he'll probably die by the same
Jimi Hendrix
Many things he would try
For he knew soon he'd die
Now Jimi's gone, he's not alone
His memory still lives on
Five years, this he said
He's not gone, he's just dead
Those lyrics are from "The Ballad of Jimi" which predicted Jimi's death exactly five years later, as well as the fame that followed it.For he knew soon he'd die
Now Jimi's gone, he's not alone
His memory still lives on
Five years, this he said
He's not gone, he's just dead
[h=2]John Lennon[/h]
Living on borrowed time without a thought for tomorrow
Five years after retiring from the music business to raise his son, John suddenly rushed back to the studio, producing songs in a panic…like a man on borrowed time.
Lennon was shot by a crazed man just a few months later. When the track "Borrowed Time" was released - along with interviews where Lennon said he was afraid his life would end when he was "popped off by some loony" - Lennon fans began to wonder if the former Beatle was really psychic.
