If I Die Tonight - Lecrae, Novel

If I die tonight

If I die tonight, you ain’t gotta cry

Cause I know that Heaven waits

If I die tonight

Only if I die tonight

Only if I die tonight

If I die tonight

If I die tonight

I pray to God that my time is right

And even though folks say time is money

You can’t earn no more time tonight

And tell my girl, «Don't cry for me»

Cause I’m right here beside the King

And tell my boys, «Don't ride for me»

And stay unashamed 'till they flatline

Could have spent my time on that back nine

Smoking on the Cuban, sipping red wine

I could of hit the streets and done fed time

But my life ain’t mine, it’s His time

So I ain’t tryna waste my minutes

I don’t even know my limits

But I gon' get it

Tell my kids I did what I could

And I love them dearly

Tell my sisters, «Love and don’t give up»

Tell my bros I meant to get with them

And the truth I claim I take to my grave

And my faith is real, I’m no quitter

Just no hashtaggin' on Twitter

It’s that real life, so go live it

If I die tonight, they gon' close my casket

But I promise ya’ll I’m gon' get up

I’m about to be with my loved ones that I lost

And my life ain’t never been perfect

But I have perfect faith in that Cross

So tell all the haters, «Your loss»

But I still love you, no fault

In this chess game, ain’t no threat, man

Cause my King ain’t never been caught

Tell my queen to pawn all my thoughts

Sell those songs the people ain’t got

All these folks who with us for the last ten

And look at us, now we can’t stop

Sometimes, the first one to lead

Is the first one to make big mistakes

And the first one to be criticized

And the first one to feel hate

But I swear the moves that I made

I was trying to work on my faith

I’ve been wrong before

But where I’m 'bout to go

Won’t put it all in my face

I just dare to do what they scared to do

And if I die tonight, just know

I made me an heir or two
