Dying Words

(Hook 1) In our dying words Will we make the right decision In our dying words Will we say just how we feel In our final hour Will we be able to speak To the ones we miss the most For it's only god we seek In our dying words (Verse 1) Uh, I've spent a couple years searching For something that was urgent, is this the ultimate purpose Kicking my little raps (?) like fuck I'm the greatest Wasn't being myself, I just reenacted my favorites An adolescent, learning nothing lasted forever But you can leave a legacy, fuck it I'll give it effort These verses gave me a chance to believe in me When all I saw was doubt around my city repeatedly It's 2012 and all I know is my father's feeding me lies I see it in his eyes, all he's trying to do is provide and I don't have the time All I can do is focus and rhyme My competition's winning, this isn't what I envisioned, dog I need more, my lord, young and impatient Don't wanna leave this world without reaching my destination Excel ahead of the curb, huh We all just want our voices being heard (Hook 2) In our dying words Will we make the right decision In our dying words Will we say just how we feel In our final hour Will we be able to speak To the ones we love the most For it's only god we seek In our dying words (Verse 2) Uh, family matters I never got it, was dumb and rebellious These are the times where I was careless When niggas had me gassed, I was coming off of eleven grand Discussions of signing would come into alignment It's funny at seventeen, on the edge of your dream I don't hold a chip on my shoulder, but fuck a Jermaine Dupri It's amazing I see Falling off of major proportions to figure out what's important Me and my mother speak every day, the love is enormous Progression from a time where arguments over money were cutting our family ties She's, climbing a ladder of aging, that's why I'm slaving I hope she understands that it's more than personal wagers I hope she gets to see me be more than what she expected Achieving everything that this visionary projected Mother dearest, know that I murdered your last nerve I promise you everything in the world In our dying words (Hook 1) (Verse 3) Uh, Throwing caution to wind Now it's more than bargaining wins, I am targeted since I had a check on my reality, plus it's like a salary Really started fucking with my mentality Time is waiting for no man Here today, you're gone tomorrow I start to question what I have to offer What is a man if he can't provide for his fam Doesn't signify who I am, but it plays a part in my insecurities Plus the stresses keep luring me Into places I never thought I would ever be Sitting moving cleverly, sick of all of this jealousy Making up excuses for why these niggas ahead of me I really need to let it be I'm going through something, my woman's touch is so heavenly Reminds me why I fight for this shit I live my life for this shit In my lowest stages, I still become a favorite Could have been with ballas, but she picked a struggling artist Don't mind me I'm venting I'm concerned with all of these worries Twenty-three yeah I'm young, but I'm still in a fucking hurry A young man's sport, gotta make it before you thirty They getting younger and younger, nobody's truly deserving It's real, I'm just giving you the truth in this song Before I leave, David Copperfield, poof and be gone I pray I do it all, everything that I deserve Nothing less, as I take my last breath In our dying words (Hook 2) (Outro) I've been searching, searching, searching I recall days, sitting in sun rays Fourth grade while, park patrons played on swings Slides, and with chess games I cried Dreaming of better days Who am I? When my aunt passed I didn't even say goodbye Because, I was so mad A runaway, on his own path Searching, searching, searching Who am I? Walking through K-Mart Opening food without paying for it takes heart No job, just, searching Astronaut thoughts, basketball sports, practice law talk, rapping's my source, and yet Who am I? Being on a quest to search and find can take time Parallel lines between him and I can't cause us to collide Nor divide, but rather, coincide Doubts and clout will sprout throughout our brains to our lungs then our mouths As we announce then pronounce then shout, what we're about With dreams of having our own land Our own families Our own house While searching within to bring it all out Who am I? Am I me? Am I you? No, No I am we, and I am Q Factz (Skit) QuESt's Mom: "Make sure you call me when you land out there. Remember baby, you can always come back home if you need to. I love you."
