Kingston XV – Don’t Cry When I’m Gone Lyrics
Artist: Kingston XV
Song: Don’t Cry When I’m Gone
You know a wise man once told me
Comparison’s root of all evil and
It’ll kill you inside, it’ll drive you mad
But I didn’t listen so here I am
Now my thoughts all black as I look outside
Always overthinking, always wasting time
Got 1000 flaws that come to mind
Why’s everyone else seem to be fine?
Yeah yeah but I’m all about it
Life as an underdog, this my calling
What goes around, comes around, can’t avoid it
So I bottle up emotions, act level headed
Addiction to pain yet seek comfort
Destructive tendencies, daily habits
Getting tired hiding of all these bones in the closet
Only let ’em out when I write verses
Run around, cryin’ loud, breaking down, what a clown
Wear a frown, got no crown, can’t be proud, don’t know how
Save me now, scared of crowds, imma drown, in this doubt
Lost not found, not endowed, disavowed, feelin’ foul
On a route, outta town, headed south, with no bounds
Got no spouse, say no vows, buy no house, do without
Drinkin’ brown, breakin’ out, head in clouds, I’m on ground
Runnin’ mouths, makin’ sounds, so profound, take a bow
Nah, don’t cry when I’m gone
I, was never around anyway
See? My name’s on the stone
Engraved date of birth and a quote
Nah, don’t cry when I’m gone
I, was never around anyway
See? My name’s on the stone
Engraved date of birth and a quote
(I’m fine and I’m healthy) Okay that’s a lie
What I really wanna do is say goodbye
But when I think about how to make it right
I just wanna be free without paying the price
Like woah, that’s some heavy thoughts bro
Get out your mind, can’t be sad for this long
You’ll run outta time and if you haven’t noticed
In 2 years you’ll be 25
Oh no, how time flies
Quarter life down the drain, no sight
Pursuing your vices, waiting for the light
When will you really start living your life man
Go, go put up a fight
Don’t think about it got no time to be shy
Have you realised yet? you’ve been livin’ a lie
Your issues, they don’t fade over time
Under candlelight writing letters to my younger self
Thought that you’d be fine yeah you thought that time would help, but
As you grow older you’ll be crying like a child
Chained in your depression only few can make it out
Longer you’re alive yeah the pain will haunt you
But you gotta soldier on for your dreams to come true
Keep writing down your thoughts and rap to escape to
A better place but always remember to be you
Nah, don’t cry when I’m gone
I, was never around anyway
See? My name’s on the stone
Engraved date of birth and a quote
Nah, don’t cry when I’m gone
I, was never around anyway
See? My name’s on the stone
Engraved date of birth and a quote
