I Feel It Coming

I feel like my time's coming
I don't know why but I feel like I'm going to die soon
Pacing up and down because of the way my mind's running
I feel like my times coming

Death doesn't scare me
I've looked the grim reaper in the eye and laughed
I became stronger every time he was near me
Survived suicide attempts, and made it back

Growing up I always wanted to die when I was 25 years old
Because Tupac and Biggie did and both of them were my heroes
I'm 25 now, so I wonder if god has kept that in his mind
Will he let me live longer, or have I decided my own time?

I speak my mind and my heart is real
I won't go out easy because I'm hard to kill
I've survived 25 years with scars still bleeding
That's now I know it'll take a lot for my heart to stop beating

If I get to heaven, I'll punch my dad in the face
He was never there for me, never even shed a tear when he passed
Some will say that's wrong to say and I shouldn't have that hate
He chose alcohol over me, so I'll show my real emotions without a mask

I feel like my time's coming
I don't know why but I feel like I'm going to die soon
Pacing up and down because of the way my mind's running
I feel like my times coming
