never stand by

Yeah, I never checked the calendar, never picked a date, We all racing with time, but we’re moving too late. I wonder if the sun’s gonna shine through the trees, Or if the rain’s gonna fall with a cold midnight breeze. Will I see it all coming, will I get to say goodbye? Will I look at my demons straight into the eye? I don’t want no sirens, no flashing blue lights, Just a quiet surrender in the middle of the night. Spent so many years tryna build up a name, Chasing the fortune, the power, the fame, But the reaper don’t care about the digits in the bank, When the ship starts to sink, we all share the same plank. So I’m writing these bars just to capture the soul, Before the curtain comes down and I finish my role. ​(Chorus) On the day of my death, don’t you cry for my past, Pour a glass to the sky, make the memory last. Yeah, the clock’s gonna tick, and the world’s gonna spin, But they can’t kill the fire that I carried within. Don’t look at the dark... just remember the sun. ​(Verse 2) Look, I hope it’s a Tuesday, an ordinary day, No dramatic goodbyes, nothing heavy to say. Just let me pass the torch to the ones left behind, Leave a couple of verses to heal up your mind. I want my homies to gather and laugh at the flaws, Remember the jokes, the mistakes, and the fights, The long summer days and the studio nights. Man, death ain’t a curse, it’s the ultimate test, It’s the only reason we appreciate the rest. So I gotta leave a mark on the dust of the track. If I die before I wake, know I gave it my all, Stood tall through the storm, never feared the fall. ​(Chorus) On the day of my death, don’t you cry for my past, Pour a glass to the sky, make the memory last. Yeah, the clock’s gonna tick, and the world’s gonna spin, But they can’t kill the fire that I carried within. Don’t look at the dark... just remember the sun. ​(Outro) Yeah... just remember the sun. No regrets, man. Every line I ever dropped, every hand I ever shook... It stays here. Just live. Yeah.
