La Velle - i don't really wanna die, i wanna be alive

We say "Hey, goodbye"
"I don't really wanna die, I wanna be alive"
We say "Hey, goodbye"
"I don't really wanna die, I wanna be alive"
And we say "Hey, goodbye"
"I don't really wanna die, I wanna be alive"

Embrace things as they come
Live in the moment
You never know when it's your time

27 years I struggled with acceptance
Moved across town, and still felt helpless
Knew I was worthy, but still felt neglected
Checked into school and no one looked like me
Asked every girl, "Would you just like me?"
Met this girl, her family was racist
I talked to myself said, "I can't take this"

Felt exiled, I wasn't athletic
Saw all my times and wanted to shred it

Life as a black man, its not easy
Don't wish it on no one, just want you to see me
They called me white cuz I wasn't on TV
No, I'm not sorry
My parents believe me

We yearn for time that wasn't ours
For lives, we haven't lived

I gotta think my friends and family
Honestly, don't know how ya'll can stand me
I show my emotions and ya'll still accept me

Good advice, yes it is heeded
I get a 4th opinion, I need it
Anxiety, still tryna beat it
The past, man you can delete it
I know its best I concede it
I wrote my book, I hope that you read it
Uhhh

I hope this message finds you
I'll be here, just to remind you
Uhhh

I don't really wanna die, I wanna be alive
