We walk around with a stopwatch
People think they have forever then our time's up
I wonder how long I have
How long I'll have on this earth before my heart stop
We walk around all the same
People always got forever on they brain
I wonder how long I have
How long I'll have on this earth before the grave

Before I take my last steps
On this earth, I'll be present with my family
So when I sleep and they lay me underground
I'll be sure that my people understand me
(Whoa oh, oh)
Before I take my last breath
On this earth, I'll have made sure to live happily
So when I sleep and they lay me down underground
I'll be sure that my people know I'm happy

It's hard to live like I know why
We live for the win and then go die
I'm wanting more out of my life
I'm mad that we killing ourselves
Our planet has taken a nose-dive
Imagine we find something else
Replacing our madness with gold lines
We hurting the babies we love
Instead of united we trust
We can't seem to get it, we stuck in the system
Of playing the victim and such
So I want to create a law, to love what I got 'til it's gone
Cuz I know I can't take for granted the people I love
Cuz the life that I live isn't long

Alright, let's bring it down for a second
I just want to talk about something super real okay
At the end of your life and mine
We are not gonna say I wish I made more money
We're not gonna say, I wish I got that promotion, or I wish I got more bonuses
I'm not even going to say I wish I had the number one song
Because at the end of my life if anything, what I'm going to desire
What I'm going to wish I did more of
Is spend time with the ones that I truly loved

It's hard to live when I know my
Time on this earth isn't so kind
People are hurting their own kind
For reasons I don't even know I'm
Caught in the middle of war mines
Imagine we didn't move so blind
We wouldn't be building rapport
With others who sit on the sidelines
Disrupting their safety with sharp knives
Is this what they want for their sons
And all of their daughters, a world full of traumas
On dark sides of a long line are we satisfied
When will love we got, I know I can't take it for granted
Now all that I have is enough

Before I take my last steps
On this earth, I'll be present with my family
So when I sleep and they lay me underground
I'll be sure that my people understand me
(Whoa oh, oh)
Before I take my last breath
On this earth, I'll have made sure to live happily
So when I sleep and they lay me down underground
I'll be sure that my people know I'm happy
All we have is right now, so slow down and breathe
