Uh, this is what it look like when I'm gone
For too long, I don't belong, I'm movin' on
To somethin' better, I'm leavin' never
They're grievin' forever, wherever, whenever, but whatever
Chorus
When I'm gone, just carry on
Don't mourn, rejoice every time you hear the song
When I'm gone, just carry on
Don't mourn, rejoice every time you hear the song
Verse 2
I know they try to say I need help, maybe I do
Perhaps that's why I came back to say to y'all, "Fuck you"
I feel like I blew up overnight without a struggle, I just doubled
My hustle and never looked back, I did it for trouble
I did it on purpose because I was hurtin' inside
No one to talk to, no shoulder to cry on, nowhere to hide
The only thing I could confide in was the paper and mic
So the day when I died was the very day I felt alive
I got somethin' to say to this world, it could be today I might curl
Up in a ball, I might fade, I'm goin' in anyway
Chorus
When I'm gone, just carry on
Don't mourn, rejoice every time you hear the song
When I'm gone, just carry on
Don't mourn, rejoice every time you hear the song
Bridge
This music makes me feel like I'm alive
These lyrics bring me back to life
It gives me that adrenaline
I need to keep movin' on when my brain is sayin' give it up
My whole perception about life has been altered from this music
And there's so much more to accomplish if I only knew what to do with
All this motivation and inspiration I get
Chorus
When I'm gone, just carry on
Don't mourn, rejoice every time you hear the song
When I'm gone, just carry on
Don't mourn, rejoice every time you hear the song
Outro
If I'm gone, I really meant all the things that I said
When I was alive and had a chance to talk but never did
I'm sayin' all the shit that people should've said about me when I died
But never did, because they wanted to save it for the eulogy like
"Yo, I meant to tell you when you were here
How much you meant to me and how much I appreciated your presence
But now that you're gone, I can't get that moment back"
So all I do is sit and reminisce about the fuckin' past tense
But this is for them when I'm gone
When they wonder what I would've wanted to be sung at my funeral
I wanted this to be played so my name won't be forgotten
