[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]
