[Verse 1]

Life is crazy sometimes

Give a lot of days of my life up to my haters but I'ma make this one mine

Take a couple photographs of my pretty family in the bright and hazy sunshine

When the aperture's perfect

It's the golden hour, gonna pull the power

From the sun and its lavender surface

Got a new lens

I got a lot of family but few friends

I know that's cliché shit to say

But reality rap is a challenge, cause facts are facts and can't go many different ways

Fuck it, here we are

It ain't guaranteed that you'll be here tomorrow

You live life like you got an extra day to do shit and you'll die in a leap year, it's harsh

So do it all today

Or in 20 years you're gonna look at life like you threw it all away

Ain't no guarantees but I guarantee

If you have a little veggies and some juice you'll calm your day

I don't wanna lie to you for the fame or the money

Maybe I could write the truth a longer way

I've had writer's block to this beat for a full year

Fuck it, I'ma do this song today

Yupp!

Gonna finish it and love it

Then I mix it and I dub it

Then I ship it to the public

If they're dissin' it then fuck it

Doesn't matter, my opinion is I'm rippin' it

And crushing it, the dissonance is fuckin' sick

All the critics, they can suck a dick

Every single fuckin' day I'm gettin' up at 6

Then I feed my kids, then I hit this studio

Then I spew a flow so beautiful, you should know


[Chorus]

The universe is expanding

I don't give a fuck I'm drinkin' all day

All the dreams I have are in color

Even though my memories are all grey

Man, the whole damn world is burnin'

But you'd never know because you're too busy starin' at your phone

Only way that I can feel happiness is when I'm by myself standing here alone

Just me til' the casket drops

Just me til' the casket drops

Just me til' the casket drops

Just me til' the casket drops


[Verse 2]

Not a day goes by where I don't think about how the world's all fucked up

All it takes is a car wreck, cancer virus

Or a member of ISIS on a random Tuesday with a gun goin' "Buck-buck!"

And you outta here

You don't know what second, what day, what month, what year

But one day, you are gonna disappear

And 99% of the planet ain't even gonna care

Except the people at your funeral who clap and cheer

As they reflect on your life with laughs and tears

When they drop your casket and the energy leaves your body

And it supernovas through the atmosphere

And it travels years through a black-hole

Where time gets so slow it stops, then reverses

Now you're turnin' back the years

Goin' back in time

To the days when you were just a curious kid with a fragile mind

Layin' on your back

Looking up at the night sky, wondering

"What the Hell is past the line of the solar system?"

And you're thinking to yourself

"Geez, this is an incredible life,"

As you try to look deep into the delicate night

Smoking weed wonderin' if you're inhaling it right

And you wanna know: "Do distant planets have intelligent life?"

Well of course they do!

And they might have big red eyes or big green thumbs, or skin light blue

But a lot of them are just like you

They prolly spend half their day just starin' at a mobile phone

Because they feel like in the universe they're so alone

Well guess what, you know they're wrong

This song is over, gone!


[Chorus]

The universe is expanding

I don't give a fuck I'm drinkin' all day

All the dreams I have are in color

Even though my memories are all grey

Man, the whole damn world is burnin'

But you'd never know because you're too busy starin' at your phone

Only way that I can feel happiness is when I'm by myself standing here alone

Just me til' the casket drops

Just me til' the casket drops

Just me til' the casket drops

Just me til' the casket drops
