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
