If I Die Young

[Chorus:]
Oh my, if I
Oh I I I, if I, I, die
If I die
If I die young, if I, if I die young now

[Verse 1:]
Yo, tell 'em I was flier than the highest of the pilots
And tell 'em I was David if a mic was Goliath
I was defiant, never compliant
Girls pullin' on my belt, something like Orion do

And if I die, go'n give 'em the truth
Tell 'em I would motherfuckin' live in the booth
Tell 'em I would be in there from winter to June
Always busy cookin' up a little groove that I could bring to the youth

And never, never, lie and say that I was average
The kid would rip a track like it was batshit
You never saw it before, quick to leave a jaw on the floor
Sick as sars, kick a couple bars, leave 'em pleadin', starvin' for more

He wasn't, very polished, but his knowledge was astonishing
Very solid for a college kid
And that acknowledgment is all I really want when you describe me
If I go and kick the fucking bucket when I'm nineteen

[Chorus:]
Oh my, if I
Oh I I I, if I, I, die
If I die
If I die young, if I, if I die young now

[Verse 2:]
And I'll either have a seizure, bad procedure, or a fever
Maybe I'll get bodied by a creep who keeps my femur in a freezer
Either way, I'm on a crime feature
Up on Dateline, in primetime, I'm not a mind reader

But I'm feelin' like that's something that happens
I'll get shot by an assassin, or I'll get torched by a dragon
Or maybe, it won't be just how I hypothesize
Maybe I'm the victim of a crime of passion homicide

So tell my family they're the greatest, always tried to keep me straight and
I appreciate the life that they created for me
This the type of shit I want in my obituary
Life's a bitch, I know, but just the kinda bitch I marry

But for now, I'm okay, and alive
Avoiding every shady hooded guy who's holding a scythe
So fuck death, doesn't make a difference what his costume is
Tell 'em I'm amazing if my latest shit is posthumous

[Chorus:]
Oh my, if I
Oh I I I, if I, I, die
If I die
If I die young, if I, if I die young now
