If I die young, bury me Satin Lay me down on a bed of roses Sink me in the river At dawn Send me away with the words of a love song [x2] If I die young
Oh my God, what's this crazy life of mine Swear these niggas tryna kill me but I know that I'll be fine If you send me to the dark, get this world a light to shine Cause there's gon be a lot of people mad If I die young And my momma raised two kids all on her own I was jealous of them kids who had two parents in they home My paps left me for the sky, my pap left me for they sky Now I'm steady poppin bottles like there's messages inside them Uh, I'm just livin low key Something sorta like an OG Now everybody seems to know me Started way back in 03 When I started to rap and smoke weed 2Pac, S.N double O.P J.A.Y and hyphen to the Z They taught me to write what I see New York taught me to be real Out here it's gonna get killed So I gotta make that change And just, just tell them how I feel And I feelin like I lived so many lifetimes already And the funny part is, man, I just begun So if I die young
If I die young, bury me Satin Lay me down on a bed of roses Sink me in the river At dawn Send me away with the words of a love song [x2] If I die young
Let me get a chance to say the things I never say Cause where I'm from we lose somebody every single day And the mothers see the funerals of sons before they sons turn 21 I swear I wonder why the heck I even pray I take that back, I know y'all brilliant I shot this down, but it's God in my lyrics First they wanna sign me, then they wanna confine me, oh wait, oh yeah, I get it Kill my visible but never my spirit Just be careful when you burn them bridges Once this burnin can't return it's how you learn and not been givin God damn, hear my sound I goes in, but I don't back down I'm that king, but I don't rock crowns Oh wait, yep, I do, ok Yep no sympathy no way That's just not how I was raised Id rather get down a slay Everybody that's in my way it's ok And you can be the best and that's ok But me being the worst that's just no way So as long as I am livin, I'm blessed with what I'm givin, I'm good If I die young
If I die young, bury me Satan Lay me down on a bed of roses Sink me in the river At dawn Send me away with the words of a love song [x4]
