When I Die

I told my mama when I die, please don't bury me
Please don't bury me, ayy, ayy
Tell her put me in the river, let me float away
Let me float away, ayy, ayy

I looked my daughter in the eyes and said everything gon' be okay
It's gon' be okay, ayy, ayy
It's gon' be okay, ayy, ayy
I told my mama when I die, please don't bury me

Put me in the river, let me float away
Told my mama when I die, please don't bury me
Put me in the river, let me float away
Told my mama when I die, please don't bury me

Just put me in the river, let me float away
Ayy, lately I been having real bad dreams
And lately I been going through a lot of things, through a lot of things
I hit my knees and said my prayer, cause this shit getting to me

I lost my daddy and my OG, this shit killin' me
Than i lost my granny, than i lost my auntie
I told my mama when I die, please don't bury me
Just put me in the river and just let me float away

Please don't cry, cause you know I'm in a better place
Light up some candles and let all the bloom fly away
And don't be sad when I die, mama, just celebrate
I know I promised you a lot, we gon' see better days

I'm just an angel in the sky, watch me fly away
Tomorrow not promised, so I'm making this day
And tell all of my kids that I'm in a better place
Yeah, I wanna fly away, fly away

Yeah, I wanna fly away, fly away
I told my mama when I die, please don't bury me
Just put me in the river, let me float away
Told my mama when I die, please don't bury me

Just put me in the river, let me float away
I told my mama when I die, please don't bury me
Just put me in the river, let me float away
Lately, I've been having real bad dreams

And lately, I've been going through a lot of things
Through a lot of things
Lately, I've been sitting in a dark room
Talking to myself thank I'ma die soon

This life I'm living, man, I swear that I ain't living right
Just had a talk with God, I really can't sleep at night
This pain I'm feeling, I swear I wanna give up on life
Gave her my heart, she stabbed me in my back with a knife

All of the tears and pain can't take away all the rain
So when I die, just let me float down the mainstream
I pray to God, my brother, let my name live forever
And take the whole CMMG to another level

I was a diamond in the rough, now I shine like a besel
I pray to God one day I can get my gold medal Cause when i die
Please don't lie
If I ain't fuck with you, please don't cry

Please don't cry
I told my mama when I die, please don't bury me
Just put me in the river, let me float away
Told my mama when I die, please don't bury me

Just put me in the river, let me float away
I told my mama when I die, please don't bury me
Just put me in the river, let me float away
Told my mama when I die, please don't bury me

Just put me in the river, let me float away
I told my mama when I die, please don't bury me
Just put me in the river, let me float away
Lately, I've been having real bad dreams

And lately, I've been going through a lot of things
Through a lot of things
