Verse 1
I know that everyone dies/But not everyone lives/It doesn’t have to be shawty, but that’s just the way that it is/Our days are swift, they are few in number/Time is running from us; trouble comes upon us/But one of life’s greatest conundrums/Is that we may escape all of its hum drum/And live this life in its abundance/Many have found it, will you be counted among them/Because there’s life after death if you’re ready to die/But the low end theory is the one most will find/Then go and miss the blueprint for their lives/But there is one for all the score outlines/But you probably think that doubt is reasonable/But with all eyes one me, God ain’t what you’ve seen before/But other guys, when de la, the soul is dead/And if you follow that blueprint 2, your soul is next

Verse 2
See the thing about problems is we all have got them/But I know God is still working when my life feels rotten/When I had nothing for breakfast, nothing for dessert/I was hungry with no money, but I held onto His Word/When I was sick and felt like collapsing/The Lord blessed, I got better, thank you for asking/Remember that class when I was getting “Fantastics” and was older than my grade/Well that class I smashed it/Graduated with honors right after I passed it/I really got a ticket on the way to pay a parking ticket/I did come back a week later and found my car was missing/But there was a lesson to learn, and it was hard to miss when/Around the time I thought I had made a mess of life /I broke up with my girlfriend and then I met my wife/But in that time, I was blessed to find I could be ready to live/When I feel like I’m ready to die

Enjoy each of the moments you get/Each day is a bonus, each moment a gift(repeat2x)/And don’t you ever forget that everyone dies, but not everyone lives
