LYRICS:

If you knew the day that you would die

Pack your bags and tell your friends one last goodbye

Would you give up all the blame?

Would you fuck and fight the same?

If you knew the day that you would die

I made some mistakes, some mistakes, yeah

Fuck it, those ones made me great, made me great

When I kick the bucket, yeah

Know I might be late, might be late

But I’m coming

Walk through Heaven’s gate with a tux

Like, “wussupers?”

I was left feeling unusual

They going to have some stories at my funeral

Never got accepted into music school

But look what I did with music fool

Aye, we’re all going to die, all going to die

Left some ripples in the tide

I had a pitbull in my mind

And I trained them over time

Take off the fucking leash and go and walk around outside

And realize nothing’s permanent

Except birth and death and find some gratitude

Between the two of them, a Gemini, two sides

Cadillac two-tone hearse pulls me down I-5

God calling me home, I can’t leave nothing behind

Life, one hell of a ride, we ain’t getting out alive

If you knew the day that you would die

Pack your bags and tell your friends one last goodbye

Would you give up all the blame?

Would you fuck and fight the same?

If you knew the day that you would die

Bright lights, big city dreams

Sunglasses at night, I’m going to wear them to sleep

Climb the highrise, hang from the scaffolding

If I fall then I fall

Fuck it, they’ll remember me

I got 30 thousand steps until my death (until my death)

Less than 20 thousand breaths in me left (in me left)

And if this the last night that I get (that I get)

Then I already spent my regrets (no regrets)

Run that motherfucking tab, tell the teller fill the bag

Fuck a mask, I’m going to throw all of this cash on the ave

Give my Mercedes’ keys, put them in a stranger’s hands

Whisper to him “live fast and enjoy it while you can”

This is now, screaming from my lungs

You can hear my howl

Taste the blood dripping off my tongue

Yeah, it’s going down

Headed up loved ones only got a couple hours

To the world “bon voyage”

Say my vows and I’m out like

If you knew the day that you would die

Pack your bags and tell your friends one last goodbye

Would you give up all the blame?

Would you fuck and fight the same?

If you knew the day that you would die
