Ryan Caraveo – Forever Be Alive lyrics

[Chorus]
If today be the day I go
Tell 'em that I did it big and didn't live life slow
Tell my bro, "Stay strong"
Tell my momma I love her
And I'll forever be alive in the summer

[Verse 1]
Yeah, yeah, June 21st
That was a magical night
A hundred thousand people dancing, all happy with life
And when I stepped into that stadium
I was going crazy though
I was living fast, pumping drugs into my cranium
Ex had me floatin'
And molly had me rollin'
And cocaine made me feel like I was in control of my liquor, man
So go and pour some more liquor, man
Drippin' my throat
I swear it's gettin' thicker, and
Smokes gettin' thicker, damn
Oh shit, this my jam
Bass hittin' so hard, I swear that it can hit your band
Livin' for the principle—and I don't wanna stick to plans
I just wanna live a little; I just wanna lift my hands
Rollin', I swear to god that I'm rollin'
By three a.m. I ate the whole gram that I was holdin'
Fuck sleep, my eyes got no signs of closin'
Hollerin' at girls and no dimes are posing
We're here, bro
Yeah, we finally made it here, bro
Livin' life like we some fucking superheroes
Call me Batman, yeah I'm a bad man
Know that we did it right if this was the last stand


[Chorus]
If today be the day I go
Tell 'em that I did it big and didn't live life slow
Tell my bro, "Stay strong"
Tell my momma I love her
And I'll forever be alive in the summer

[Verse 2]
June 22nd, that was a horrible day
I felt empty; there's really no more I can say
I got back in the morning at around 8 o'clock
All my friends were in the hotel, in a state of shock
With the curtains all closed, lying on the ground
I went to say "What's up?"
And no one tried to make a sound
And that's when John said
"Ryan, this is hard to say but
Last night, Anthony, he passed away
While we was out partyin', he was in the room
Because he had fell asleep from all the shit that he consumed"
That's when I fell backwards my mind in a puzzle
They said he died in his sleep with no signs of a struggle, huh
At least, that's what the coroner said
But I took the same drugs, yeah
There should be more of us dead
I should be right there with him
'Cause I watched him sniff those lines
And I popped a pill with him, like twenty different times
And I watched him drink a fifth, in like five minutes flat
So if thats the shit that killed him, how can I live with that?
I'm feelin' low, so low
I don't think I'm comin' back
Tryna keep my shit together; I don't think that I'm intact
As I sit there tryna pack
To get outta this place
Still high, 'cause I don't know the amount that I take
Walking through the airport with tears rollin' down my face
Everybody's staring at me like I'm from outer space, and
I swear that was the longest flight home
Questioning everything I've ever known
Thinking 'bout the legacy I would have left
If my friends were flying home with one homie less
And it was me that was laying there lifeless
I swear to God, it's so crazy how this life is
But make it through today, I might just
'Cause I feel him with me here as I write this


[Chorus]
If today be the day I go
Tell 'em that I did it big and didn't live life slow
Tell my bro, "Stay strong"
Tell my momma I love her
And I'll forever be alive in the summer
I said, if today be the day I go
Tell 'em that I did it big and didn't live life slow
Tell my bro, "Stay strong"
Tell my momma I love her
And I'll forever be alive in the summer
