[00:22.46] |
Yeah |
[00:24.01] |
Lately I feel like the devil's watching, he taunts me |
[00:26.74] |
I been having these thoughts in my head, they haunt me |
[00:29.53] |
I been trying to keep my focus but I keep having this dream |
[00:32.16] |
That I lost my life when I got shot in 2015, and |
[00:35.70] |
I walk around my city and no one sees me |
[00:38.33] |
I used to think, "If I died it would be so easy" |
[00:41.24] |
Well, here I am, feel like everyone left me |
[00:44.18] |
Now I'm back at home and everything feels so empty |
[00:47.20] |
Upstairs I see the girl I love crying alone |
[00:49.73] |
I see the cuts on her wrists, she's scared of dying alone |
[00:52.74] |
I said her name softly, I swear that she looked right at me |
[00:55.97] |
That's when I tried to walk up to her, |
[00:57.65] |
But she walked past me, damn |
[00:59.50] |
At my funeral, they dressed in all black |
[01:01.92] |
Everybody mourning my death while I stand in the back |
[01:04.53] |
And I look at they faces, in they eyes the pain is so clear |
[01:07.40] |
But the people that I called my friends, they ain't even here |
[01:10.64] |
Crazy how quickly they forget, instead of mourning my death |
[01:13.64] |
They fighting over who gets the house |
[01:15.77] |
And who gets the checks, damn |
[01:17.12] |
I gave my heart to these people throughout these songs |
[01:19.70] |
And it's sad to know that |
[01:21.00] |
None of it matters now that I'm gone, damn |
[01:42.12] |
Yeah, yeah |
[01:45.51] |
All my albums are on the charts, |
[01:47.69] |
And all the radios wanna play me |
[01:49.64] |
I guess it took me to die for them to appreciate me |
[01:52.49] |
I see them posting and saying how much they miss me |
[01:55.44] |
But back when I was alive |
[01:56.63] |
And depressed they ain't never hit me |
[01:58.48] |
Before I died they all used to hate me, but now it's funny |
[02:01.31] |
They post pictures, |
[02:02.21] |
They all tryin' to claim me but never loved me |
[02:04.21] |
Spit on my name when I was alive, I'll never forget |
[02:06.89] |
It's sad that they wait till you die to show they respect, but |
[02:10.48] |
Finally all the people who I looked up to |
[02:13.21] |
Say how they respect me, saying they woulda loved to |
[02:16.00] |
Meet me in the past, but it's too late for that now |
[02:18.81] |
The way these people used to treat me, |
[02:20.29] |
They can't take it back now |
[02:21.77] |
People tell stories about how we were close |
[02:23.92] |
And how they would ride for me |
[02:25.08] |
I know I'm gone, but that energy they can't hide from me |
[02:28.11] |
Award shows and these red carpets the same |
[02:31.05] |
They make these tributes to my name, |
[02:32.19] |
But back then they never invited me |
[02:34.03] |
Look, I'm at the Grammys, |
[02:35.43] |
I wish I could tell my mom I made it |
[02:37.20] |
It only took a hole in my head to be nominated |
[02:40.04] |
I looked for love from these people but all along |
[02:42.71] |
What they said was true, |
[02:43.64] |
They don't love you until you gone, **** |
[02:46.14] |
But the truth is this life never goes the way you plan it |
[02:48.96] |
I guess the point of this song |
[02:50.54] |
Is don't take your life for granted |
[02:52.12] |
And appreciate people while they still here |
[02:54.48] |
And before you judge someone take a look in the mirror |
[02:57.24] |
Because at any moment anything could happen |
[03:00.33] |
Nothing is ever promised, but you can just imagine |
[03:03.22] |
How it would be, so I give the type of love I want for me |
[03:06.38] |
'Cause one day it'll be my last |
[03:07.69] |
And it won't just be a dream, I mean |
[03:10.40] |
