Post Mortem

Verse:
I am lyrically kweli
Mos def I'm SO uncommon
My life a five course meal
Niggas is SO top ramen
And that's just fine by me
Trust me I WONT stop climbing
I know the pressure I feel
Only make top notch diamonds
I look for peace n can't find it
Less it's in God alone
I delt with grown man problems
Back at my mamas home
The way I grew up
I had to switch up the pace alot
That's probably why I can't get used to
Niggas in my face a lot
I'm never in one place a lot
I pace a lot
I'm facing fears
My biggest fear
Is in pursuing passions
That ive wasted years
I've tasted tears
And though they may be few
I know my soul cries
Can't be another zombie
Walking talking
As my soul dies
I owe God
Everything I am and still it's not enough
Life'll box you right into a corner
Till you counter punch
I'm southpaw swade
Nigga watch for the hook
Comparisons a thief of joy
Nigga watch for the crook

Hook:
I don't wanna die before I live
Dont wanna die before I live
Everything I am I gotta give
Everything I gotta give

Verse:
Can I be honest
Oh (septuple part this oh)
Can I be honest
I'm tired of people
Confusing weakness and kindness
You don't know my heart
Then you can't speak where my mind is
If im lost in my thoughts
Then wholl be itching to find me
You gotta fight the fight to never be a prop or pawn
For most my life
The only pop I knew was poppa John
But now I'm popping up in places I ain't peep yet
The team is randy missing
I'm just saying we a deep threat
Shouldn't be a secret
No this a revelation
Gotta make sure that I'm grounded
Before I look for elevation
I been swimming to the surface
Feel I'm close to suffocating
See me moving through the madness
This is greatness in the making
I am
A work in progress
Not
Easy to digest
No never be perfect
I know this life is a process
I look at my options
And non of em equal giving up
Everybody dies
But I ain't dying with my pistol tucked

Hook:
I don't wanna die before I live
Dont wanna die before I live
Everything I am I gotta give
Everything I gotta give
