Better Place

Head above the water I'm breathing, uh
For now at least
But I swear I can feel my soul is slowly leaving my flesh
And should I die this evening, well at least I did my best, uh
Tell my momma let me rest now
Don't cry too much I'm in a much better place ma
I got a halo and I'm watching, you'll be safe ma
Please know I'm thankful, you did well
Yes you're the best ma

Lungs collapsing
I'm gasping for air
Shit am I really passing?
This feeling is weird and my life's flashing
The fear is clear, don't need asking
And at this point I'm really hoping that this shit is just a dream
There's a lot that I ain't done and a lot that I ain't seen
A lot that I ain't said and a lot that I still dream
Man a whisper is all they hear
Shit I'm really tryna scream
Shit I'm really tryna say

And as this big flash of light gets closer
I'm just thinking about my momma
Thinking about family
Thinking about the homies
Thinking about the love yous
And I'm thinking about the sorries
All the wrong I still have to right
All these things that I still have to do
Damn

Yeah
Wake up I'm feeling great
I look at my arms
I touch my body, I touch my face
A bit of a panic
Shit, understand that I never felt this way
My confidence Bruce Wayne
And I'm feeling no pain
Man I feel like I can fly
Really don't feel like J
Really don't feel like me
Not in an ominous way
But it's obvious to me that something has changed
It's great but I mean this feeling is strange
And when I finally look up everybody is crying
I don't understand this is somebody dying?
I try to ask the question, everyone ignores me
Wait, I know a couple of faces
What the fuck is all this?

Stand up too quick
And now I'm dizzy
Try to hold on to my homie but I fall right through
Wait, what the fuck did I do?
And why is my face on you?
Why you laying so still?
What the fuck nigga move

See it's easy to take this life thing for granted
Where the days and the hours ain't nothing but numbers to you
Here today and gone tomorrow
It's not just something that was said on a rap song
But that's what life is
You could be here today and gone tomorrow
Don't ever take it for granted
Ever
