give me my flowers
Singer:jennings, struggle
feel like i'm ridin' on a tidal wave
i'll be home put my plate off in the microwave
some of ya'll kept it real the whole time
others dried up an flaked
burnin' candle an a four five on the nightstand
that's what the haters pray
i'm in the winner's circle but never won a race
i'm in the right state of mind but feelin' outa place
i drove this road so ya' ain't have to take the same ride
this the same guy who sacrificed for ya'll to eat
so tell me how you feel before i rest in peace
the only thing in life that's certain is i'ma die
so i'm askin' ya'll to gimme' my flowers while i'm alive
give me my flowers while i'm still alive
cause one day you're here then you're gone
the only thing that's certain in life is i'ma die
so cherish me while i'm still at home
heard through the grapevine
heard you'd never cross me
shit but you thought about it
would never steal from me
said you 'member when i came through with that bill money
i gotta month to the trial
you ain't called the phone
they like to say they know me when they got my g's with 'em
quick to say they hate me if someone agrees with 'em
the apple look right but gotta' bad seed in 'em
i been bit by these snakes so i bleed venom
the only thing in life that's certain is i'ma die
so i'm askin' ya'll to gimme' my flowers while i'm alive
give me my flowers while i'm still alive
cause one day you're here then you're gone
the only thing that's certain in life is i'ma die
so cherish me while i'm still at home
fifty miles an runnin' in the old lincoln
i told you hop up out the ship when the boat's sinking
i'ma die with the black pearl
leave my soul in the bottom of this black world
lay it all on the line for la familia
i think i been here before
know that i was righteous in my last life
last night i found myself with a flashlight
just let 'em know what i did here
the only thing in life that's certain is i'ma die
so i'm askin' ya'll to gimme' my flowers while i'm alive
give me my flowers while i'm still alive
cause one day you're here then you're gone
the only thing that's certain in life is i'ma die
so cherish me while i'm still at home
