“Live Before I Die” Lyrics

(Verse 1)
I stopped smoking weed a year ago
Maybe I’m less cool now, I don’t know
But I talk to pretty girls now, instead of sitting there all stoned
I stopped smoking weed a year ago
And I stopped drinking Hennessy on ice
I thought it made my fans think I was tight
I’m still up in that night club on way too many nights
But I stopped drinking Hennessy on ice

(Pre-Chorus)
See I’ve been running from my past
But my future’s just too fast
He don’t stop for no one that’s no lie
So dear Lord won’t you please gimme wisdom grant me peace
‘Cause I just want to live before I

(Chorus)
Live before I die, die
Live before I die
Yeah, I just wanna live before I
I just wanna live before I
I just wanna live before I
I just wanna live before I

(Verse 2)
Yeah, I stopped thinking ‘bout the girls back home
Even though I spend my nights alone
I button up that shirt and spray on that cologne
Yeah, I stopped thinking ‘bout the girls back home

(Chorus)
Live before I die, die
Live before I die
Yeah, I just wanna live before I
Live before I
I just wanna live before I
I just wanna live before I
I just wanna live before I

(Verse 3)
I stopped smoking weed a year ago
Maybe I’m less cool now, I don’t know
But I got two more albums done
Instead of sitting there all stoned
Yeah, I stopped smoking weed a year ago
