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
