The song When I Die by King Von means he is talking about how when he dies he doesn't want people there that he had problems with to touch his casket or go to his funeral. Then he talks about his people sliding for him when they leave his funeral, sliding means that they gotta go kill the person who killed him or kill the person's friend. He talked about if he got killed something ain't right and that his OPPS the people that he has problems with know that he doesn't mess around in the streets so he's saying that If he dies it was a setup. But you gotta listen to the song to understand what I'm saying.
