[Chorus: CocoRosie]
I'll always be by your side
I'll always be by your side
[Verse One: G, The Wiz]
In case my flight goes down
In case I don't wake up
In case I don't get on
In case I lose myself
In case I don't find love
In case I don't move on
Just know I gave my all
I hope that you'll stay strong
Because everyday is a day that I don't know
I work so hard, but don't we all?
I can say, I can play all my cards just right,
But there'll always be something that's not quite right
Like,
“Pick up the phone, I called you twice”
"And text for advice when you feel alright”
“You must be rich to take those flights.”
“You must be set with the things in your life?” (Right?)
But little do they know or do they take the time,
To realize some of us are battling a fight.
To let mom's know her that her son did right.
So if I don't wake up from my sleep tonight
Incase I don't see that I crossed a red light.
So When my skin turns to ash and my soul's in flight
In case I don't live to see 25
Just know still that i'll always be
I'll always be
[Chorus: CocoRosie]
I'll always be by your side
I'll always be by your side
[Verse Two:]
In case I lose my mind.
In case they can't revive
In case I go brain dead
In case they pull the plug.
In case my last words said
Were something far from love
Just know this life was once
And you were all I loved.
You see I've heard it before, you should take it slow.
21 years old, at a donut store.
Where do I go?
What should I do?
“Pack up your bags and go to school.”
“Find a major, find a minor.”
“Find a partner and raise a child.”
“Like your father, like your mother.”
“It's all been done, it's what is formal.”
But incase I don't do the things they always be,
Just know I was happy like when we learned ABC
You see we are just human beings coded until we can't breathe,
But even when you can't see me just know that i'll be
I'll always be.
[Chorus: CocoRosie]
I'll always be by your side
I'll always be by your side
I'll always be by your side
I'll always be by your side
[G, The Wiz]
Remember kids, this life is yours to live
Yours to change, yours to be
Yours to believe and yours to give
And be wise for who you give too
But be sure to put first
You.
