Make sure you give flowers where, when & to whom they are deserved!!
And do it today because tomorrow never comes. Ask Kobe 🙏🏻

lyrics

I want my flowers while I’m still alive Wanna wear the crown while I’m still alive Never keep me down while I’m still alive I’m still alive

Overdrive Category 5 supernatural hit the 405 and arrive on the avenue I was born to thrive not survive like an animal I been on the rise got my eyes on Immanuel When my pen is in its limb patterns begin to form and then the storming winds jump in and blend and spin until the earth is warm a life is born then the lights come on inside a dying star strike a chord what you fighting for unless your mind is pure nothing to lose nothing gain so many stuck in this pain nothing but pawns in the ugliest game on an infinite chase for the money and fame searching the heavens for answers the only reaction they catching is thunder and rain predators hunting they prey law of the jungle fuck what you say numbers don’t play eh

I will not wait until I die to celebrate my life accelerate and take the elevator to the heights I made a promise to my maker I be goddamned if I break it and I started out in the basement now my greatness taking flight

I want my flowers while I’m still alive Wanna wear the crown while I’m still alive Never keep me down while I’m still alive I’m still alive

On the day that Kobe died the homies cried without a tissue so much pain and no one there to blame and that’s an issue stomach churning burning like flame do when it hits you I don’t wanna wait until the day you gone to say I miss you Everything we been through you thought I would be prepared for the day that I went to call you and found out you wasn’t there it isn’t fair that just your memory can send me to despair I thought I was in the clear but our history interferes and it’s been years since you ain’t been here man I miss my friend here all I got is tears up in this pen here I am in this game to get win here so every single line I’m on the climb just like a 10 gear in here

I will not wait until I die to celebrate my life accelerate and take the elevator to the heights I made a promise to my maker I be goddamned if I break it and I started out in the basement now my greatness taking flight

I want my flowers while I’m still alive Wanna wear the crown while I’m still alive Never keep me down while I’m still alive I’m still alive

The world is dark and I don’t see it getting any brighter spark your lighters close your eyes and you know where the light is where to find us where the night is behind your eyelids shining let you know where I live

The world is cold and I don’t feel it getting any warmer mamma warn ya sitting in the church amongst the mourners on the corners houses haunted you know winters coming pray you getting all you wanted
