Open Casket
Before they bury me, let me be crystal clear
This might be the realest shit I've ever wrote so listen here
Was a boy with aspirations
I'd fall asleep at night and only dream about creating
Then wake up in the morning, hoping the world would it embrace it
Instead they called me crazy and looked the other way
Find it ironic that I've gotten more love from strangers than people I see day to day
But thats okay
I ain't ever been the type to hold a grudge
'Fore I die I'll smoke blunt with at least one of my idols
Although most of 'em are dead
Got me reflecting, asking myself these questions like
is this the rap game or the game of survival
Fuck if I know
What I do know is I'm reaching for the stars
Like I'm drowning in a fire and I'm reaching out for god
Like I'm really growing tired, but I need to make it farther
Before I call it quits, I've never doubted my drive
Do what we can to survive
I'm trynna see 25 and all my family strive
They say that tragedy strikes when you very least expect it
If death calling up my phone I tell 'em just to leave a message
I'll get back when I can but really I ain't ever rushin
Trynna put in this work, dropping verses how I function
Its nothing
fore they turn me into ashes, I promise it'll be something
Open my casket, I'm not done yet
Just let me breathe, let me speak
On what I've got left
I've got so much to do, so much to see
So much to be
I'm not ready, please don't let me go 6 feet deep
Open my casket, I'm not done yet
Just let me breathe, let me speak
On what I've got left
I've got so much to do, so much to see
So much to be
I'm not ready, please don't let me go 6 feet deep
I've got so much to do a lifetime could never be enough
I wonder if they'd let me into heaven if they knew I ain't believe in much
I think I've seen too much
I still avoid the thought of knowing any day could be the day the motherfucking reaper comes
Lately I been speaking up, got power in my voice
and I ain't just making noise, I'm trynna speak to my people
I'm nothing more than an equal
I keep my shit transparent
These others artists are see-through
But I'm hoping there's a sequel to this movie
Cause this script just hasn't moved me, the direction isn't clear
Shit's been driving me so crazy
I can't wait until I steer straight into my destination
I know death don't do much waitin'
But I need it to be patient, I ain't near the end yet
So don't cue the end credits
Trynna put on for my city, repay my life to my parents
Guide my brother to success,
Consummate my love through marriage
Have my seed grow and then carry
All the values I've embedded in these words I leave recorded
I'm just trynna be reported on, not my obituary
But the very soul I pour into these lines
Its always on my mind
Cause its important, leave it noted
That I've done the best I can
But that best isn't enough, I need more time for all my plans
Yeah, yeah
But as they say, time waits for no man
Nah
Open my casket, I'm not done yet
Just let me breathe, let me speak
On what I've got left
I've got so much to do, so much to see
So much to be
I'm not ready, please don't let me go 6 feet deep
Open my casket, I'm not done yet
Just let me breathe, let me speak
On what I've got left
I've got so much to do, so much to see
So much to be
I'm not ready, please don't let me go 6 feet deep
