After facing 3 near-death experiences from a car fire, house fire, and a car crash, up-and-coming LA rapper Dax dedicated this song to the late artist XXXTENTACION, who was tragically robbed and murdered on June 18, 2018 in his home state of Florida.
[Intro]
It's Dax
I don't wanna die today
I don't wanna die today
I don't wanna fucking die
[Chorus]
I don't wanna die today
Take my life away
I might die today
Got anxiety
Get on my tidal wave
Take you to a higher place
I don't wanna die today
I don't wanna die today
[Verse 1]
Niggas talked down when they see me
Niggas talk down, wanna be me
Niggas run around try'na heatseak
Couple I knew tried to kill me
CNN news on the TV
Couldn't get through, I'm a species
Niggas talk shit like feces
Had to get clean like Febreze
Cannot take my soul
God's side, I will not fold
I'm just try'na die old
Outlive both of my folks, reach my dreams, achieve all my goals
Can't leave before I get grown
Gotta' buy momma a home
Gotta' get papa chrome
[Chorus]
I don't wanna die today
Take my life away
I might die today
Got anxiety
Get on my tidal wave
Take you to a higher place
I don't wanna die today
I don't wanna die today
I don't wanna die today
Take my life away
I might die today
Got anxiety
Get on my tidal wave
Take you to a higher place
I don't wanna die today
I don't wanna die today
[Verse 2]
Niggas talked down like they know me
Fade on a nigga like Kobe
Niggas get left like Ginobili
Nigga was never my homie
No friends, nigga I'm lonely
Got no bitch, no trophy
Can't be saved, no goalie
Fuck the devil, I'm Holy (Holy)
I don't wanna die, I just wanna live
24 years old, so much left to give
I ain't got no kids, I ain't start no biz
I don't wanna die, that's just how it is
[Chorus]
I don't wanna die today
Take my life away
I might die today
Got anxiety
Get on my tidal wave
Take you to a higher place
I don't wanna die today
I don't wanna die today
I don't wanna die today
Take my life away
I might die today
Got anxiety
Get on my tidal wave
Take you to a higher place
I don't wanna die today
I don't wanna die today
[Outro]
I just want to stay alive
