When Im Gone

During the making of this album, I received the unfortunate news that
Nipsey Hussle was murdered in Los Angeles
It really hurt me, and then the outcry of love and support
After his death was incredible
But it inspired me to write this song
Every day we lose somebody close to us, a loved one
And only then do we seem to find the time
And the way to tell em how much we care about em
Dont tell me that you miss me
Dont tell me that you love me
Dont tell me that you need me
Dont wait to tell me that you love me
When Im gone
(This is our life)
When Im gone
(This is my time)
Dont wait until Im dead
Until these words are said
Dont wait until I die and then start to fake cry
Tell the people that you love, that you love em now
Show the people you appreciate just how
Much they mean to ya
How much you care how real it is
Theyre right in front of ya
Your family, your wife, your kids
Dont wait for tragedy to tell em how you really feel
Dont wait
Tomorrow might be too ****in late
When Im gone
(This is our life)
Dont wait to tell me that you miss me
When Im gone
(This is our time)
Dont wait to tell me that you love me
When Im gone
(This is our life)
Dont wait to tell me that you need me
When Im gone
(We cant afford to waste our love)
Ill be lost without you
How do I make it right?
How do I take back all the time I've wasted alone?
And how would it make you feel?
How would it make you feel?
Knowing you had the chance and let it slip away
Dont wait until Im dead
Youve got friends
Tell em that you care
Youve got family
Tell em how you feel
Dont wait to say how great a guy I was and all that bullshit
When Im gone
(This is our life)
Dont wait to tell me that you miss me
When Im gone
(This is our time)
Dont wait to tell me that you love me
When Im gone
(This is our life)
Dont wait to tell me that you need me
When Im gone
(We cant afford to waste our love)
Seems like every day death comes unexpectedly
Seems like yesterday my man was sitting next to me
So many things I couldve said and that we couldve done
The reapers coming but I never thought hed be the one
I dont do funerals , dont wanna see you in no box
I miss my homies, and my love for them will never stop
Dont have regret, and wait until your loved one dies
Nows your chance, tell em while theyre still alive
When Im gone
(This is our life)
Dont wait to tell me that you miss me
When Im gone
(This is our time)
Dont wait to tell me that you love me
When Im gone
(This is our life)
Dont wait to tell me that you need me
When Im gone
(We cant afford to waste our love)
Too many people pass away every single day
And we don't show em how we feel until its too late
I appreciate, or love is something we wont say
We delay it til theyre gone and say it at their grave
We delay it til theyre gone and say it at their grave
Til theyre gone and say it at their grave
