Before I Die

[Verse 1]
If I don't do something
I'ma rot in this room, four walls, no sky
Same old search bar, same old scroll
Whole day gone in a blink of an eye
Mama said “boy, you blessed, go try”
But I been playin' safe, scared of the climb
Talk big dreams, then I stall, then I lie
Tell myself “tomorrow” while tomorrow flies by
[Chorus]
If I don't do something before I die
I'ma haunt myself for the rest of my life (yeah)
All these “one days” piled in my mind
Gotta turn one into now, not a line online
If I don't do something before I go
Bury me under the words “almost” (almost)
I don't want a stone say “he was kinda nice”
I want 'em say “he risked it all, paid the price” (let's go)
[Verse 2]
If I don't move now, who gon' move for me?
No hero in a cape, just the truth on me
Clock in my chest sayin' “prove somethin', prove somethin'”
Fear in my head sayin' “do nothin', do nothin'”
I been hidin' my heart like it's contraband
Laugh it off when I say I got plans
But I see that kid in the mirror, red eyes
Ask me, “you proud if today is your last?”
[Chorus]
If I don't do something before I die
I'ma haunt myself for the rest of my life (for real)
All these “one days” piled in my mind
Gotta turn one into now, not a line online
If I don't do something before I go
Bury me under the words “almost” (oh no)
I don't want a stone say “he was kinda nice”
I want 'em say “he risked it all, paid the price” (yeah, yeah)

rap, Moody boom-bap meets modern trap: dusty piano loop, deep sub, crisp hats. Male vocals in an urgent, confessional rap; verses tight and breathless. Hook opens with layered chants on the title phrase, kick hits harder, subtle choir pad underlines the stakes. Final chorus rides out with ad-libs and a slow-filtered fade.
