I'm gonna be a legend one day but
first I'll have to die
I'm gonna be a legend you'll see but
first I'mma have to die, we

take for granted everyone who's alive and
after they die we will romanticize, our
relationships with them, and we'll
claim we were their friend -- when in
reality we chose not to
make time for them, and
I know I am guilty
more than a little convicted
I don't know about you, but I'm feelin' pretty guilty

I'm gonna be a legend one day but
first I'll have to die
I'm gonna be a legend you'll see but
first I'mma have to die, we

embellish all the tales that we tell about ourselves, and by the
end of our lives ooh, we can not even tell, cause we're
afraid that they won't care, about the
things we have to share so we over
state the truth so that they won't for-
get about us, cause we
don't wanna be forgotten, we
all wanna be remembered, so we
lie through our teeth, cause
we're all liars
more than a little dishonest
I don't know about you, but I'm a gosh dang liar

I'm gonna be a legend one day but
first I'll have to die
I'm gonna be a legend you'll see but
first I'mma have to die, and
I'm gonna be a legend one day but
27 is not the age

we all consume these vices so that we don't wanna die
quite as much as we always do
sometimes I wish that I were rich so someone would wanna marry me to
release me from all lifes worries, and put me out of my misery (by which I mean)
they would devise a plan to-oooo murder me, and
make it look like suicide and inherit the almighty money, but

I don't wanna die, I'm just sick of being alive
