lyrics

Even in death, you’re beside me
Wish I could see that our dream is dead and buried
Even in death, I’m sorry
Cuz the times we had were the best days of my life

The rap career that I never had's since passed
But the vivid tracks living in Matt give him a path
But this is not about the failed rapper's act
It's about the passion and masking the fact that it's a wrap
Tell ‘em what you do, tell ‘em what you'd give for it
Tell ‘em what's getting you outta bed and why you'd been born
Tell ‘em what you're doing just to do it, blissful
It's elemental, hella mental, but you live for it
Your postmodern colloquial hope's out in the open
You don’t bottle, you own it and hone positive focus
Unknown, often alone but you're so confident
You're dope rocking and rolling, a grown hobbyist
Ey, you don't do it for the status or the fame
All day, you do it cuz the habit's hard to break
No way, that you're ever gonna give it up or quit it
Go on living how you're living, you're limitless in a way, and you're saying

Even in death, you’re beside me
Wish I could see that our dream is dead and buried
Even in death, I’m sorry
Cuz the times we had were the best days of my life

You're impassioned and taking action, enacting what your passion is
Addict, fanatic, avid, and wrapped up in your bag of tricks
In fact, it's like a magical batch of happiness
Having a blast, habits are radical, laugh and bury it
They say the dream's dead, you say you've made it though
They say you're lame, but if you think it's made then ain't it so?
A game is capable and great to fill a vacant soul
I gotta say, your favorite playful way’s the way to go
It's old logic, unload what you don’t want
An emotional soul’s silent, but lo and behold, vibrance
Eroding the coal, diamonds'll show you don't grow out of it
Now that you've found it, let the ballad be a proud beginning
Ey, you don't do it for the status or the fame
All day, you do it cuz the habit's hard to break
No way, that you're ever gonna give it up or quit it
Go on living how you're living, you're limitless in a way, and you're saying

Even in death, you’re beside me
Wish I could see that our dream is dead and buried
Even in death, I’m sorry
Cuz the times we had were the best days of my life
