Nick Cannon - If I Die Young lyrics

rate me

If I die young, bury me in satin

Lay me down on a, bed of roses

Sink me in the river, at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

His name was Jamie and hanging up on a wall was a painting

Of lady Gaga the amazing, little monster was bravely

Standing up is a … Jamie daily would basically

Just be praying that he make it home safely

Without him sexuality making him cowardly, haters get angry

I doubt if he was straight that he be faced with this danger

…for a teen he made the blameless mistake

Of thinking that this world … our angels protect him in heaven

If I die young, bury me in satin

Lay me down on a, bed of roses

Sink me in the river, at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

I wanna hear y’all, I wanna hear y’all

Her name was Phoebe, believe me,

Her beauty seemed to be beaming

And at 15 she was needing to be dreaming

And not believing in lies and teases

And significant meanings

Battling bullies and demons for immaterial reasons

See the theory was easy, she fell little like weezy

Cause the means girl was …

And was calling her sleezy

Too much attention on differences, no one’s listening

The chick’s got vicious…

She ain’t living… damn…

If I die, if I die

It’s the pain, it’s the hurt

It’s the wounds, it’s the worst

If I die

We gotta stop the hate

There is no reason, to tear others down

Just to build yourself up

That’s work

If I die

Now everybody go, everybody go

Oho, oho

I wanna hear y’all, I wanna hear y’all

If I die

Now everybody go, everybody go

I wanna hear y’all, I wanna hear y’all

We lost y’all way too soon

Jamie, Phoebe, Amy, Winehouse

Michael, Jackson, Steve, Jobbs

… Pac, … Left Eye… and Heavy D.

In this new release, over the familiar melody by The Band Perry, Nick Cannon expresses how impressionable children can be, and the damage done when they have no support. As cliché as it sound the children are our future and they need all the support they can get. Good Job Nick.
