If I Die Young

If I die young, bury me in 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

If I die young, bury me in 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

If I die young, can it be by the hands of time
You ask me how I'm doing, I will always tell you that I'm fine
All I do is try, but all I get is rhymes
I try to hide the hurt, but it's bottled up inside
You can hear the pain in my voice in every single line
I'm not ashamed of the choice to keep myself alive
I don't blame the void that fuckin strengthens up my pride
I aimed to be destroyed now, this the other side
But now I'm coming back and I promise that I'll try
To be the best that I can be without needing to get high
Drink my issues all away, I'm done being that guy
When you start to lose your memory, you can't sleep or close your eyes
It's led me down a path where I'm barely scraping by
I won't lie, sometimes I get the feeling that I'd rather fucking die
How come I, gotta battle just to be here and survive
I wish I had the answers, but for years I've been asking why

If I die young, bury me in 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

If I die young, bury me in 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

The clock is always ticking and I don't know how to stop it
I don't know what to do, but to stand there and just watch shit
Always passing by me, but my hands are in my pockets
Cause if I never switch up, I'll never make a profit
For years I've been an artist and I've only made deposits
I save myself with music, but I got an empty wallet
How the fuck am I winning when I'm only taking losses
Publicly it looks different, I'm just being honest
I hide most of DNA away, like my outfits in the closet
Present myself robotic, hoping one day to skyrocket
When you live your life hypnotic, it sometimes gets chaotic
When you try so hard to get nothing, you wanna change the topic
In a world that's fucking huge, I feel so microscopic
You can search my name on Google, people start to gossip
And I hear y'all talking when I dropped some singles and a project
But none of y'all would really care until I'm laying in a coffin

If I die young, bury me in 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

If I die young, bury me in 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

I could go acapella, but I like a beat to match my words
Everyday I go to work to show these people all my worth
2-10 and some overtime to get ahead and finish first
It feels like I get nowhere with my feet stuck in the dirt
I'm trying to do better, dying young seems like the curse
I wake up and I ask myself how much can my life get worse
So I'll take these feelings which you hear up in this verse
Cause I can't trust nobody cause it only fucking hurts, damn
I'm learning to love myself, but this music is essential
I see who I really am and I know I got potential
To be an artist who does more than tell a story with a pencil
Not just be influential
My story in itself is fucking messed up but so special
Fundamental, for it to be only me in my credentials
I've used music as an outlet and it's helped me build my temple
But I'm going mental with another skid here to assemble....
