Before I Die lyrics by Ja2ce

(Intro)
Yeah…
Whoah, whoah
Yeah, yeah

(Verse 1)
I done gave my last, and they still left me empty
Tried to love hard, but this heart too heavy
Voices in my head, I been drownin’ in silence
Prayin’ to the Lord, but I’m still movin’ violent

I was down bad, they ain’t check, they ain’t call
Now I’m up some, and they swear they was involved
Can’t fake love, I done seen how it change
They smile in your face, then throw dirt on your name

I just want peace, but I’m haunted by the past
So I keep a wall up, can’t let nothin’ crash
Tears in my eyes, but I still won’t break
Before I die, I gotta free this weight

(Chorus)
Before I die, I just wanna feel peace
Lay my head down, no pain underneath
Tell my momma she ain’t gotta worry no more
We ain’t broke no more, we ain’t hurt no more

Before I die, I gotta make this right
Tell the truth even when it don’t shine bright
I just want love, I don’t care ’bout the fame
They can keep the lights, just remember my name

(Verse 2)
Before I die, I gotta speak to my younger self
Tell him it’s okay to cry, you don’t always gotta thug it out
Tell him keep his heart pure even when it’s hell
’Cause they gon’ change on you fast when you don’t help

I remember sleepin’ on the floor with nothin’
Mama workin’ late, stomach hurt, still bluffin’
Fake smiles every day at school
Actin’ like I’m cool, but I’m breakin’ all the rules

(Chorus)
Before I die, I just want peace
No more pain, just let me breathe
Tell my momma, „You raised me right”
If I leave now, I gave my life

Before I die, I gotta make this right
Tell the truth even when it don’t shine bright
