Things You Could Die For If Doing While Black (feat. Ben Hixon) - Mick Jenkins

Something inside the cards I know is right Don't wanna live somebody else's life This is what I want to be And this is what I give to you Because I get it free She smiles while I do my time I could die for you Oh, this life I choose I'm here to be your only go-between To tell you of the sights these eyes have seen What I really want to do is turn it into motion Beauty that I can't abuse You know that I use my senses to You can see that it's only everywhere I'd take it all and then I'd find a way to share Come along and go along with me Wander with me, yo, it's all for free I could die for you What you wanna do? Oh, this life I choose I could die for you What you wanna do? Oh, this life I choose Come again and tell me where you wanna go What it means to me to be with you alone Close the door and no one has to know How we are Come along and go along with me Wander with me, yo, it's all for free I could die for you What you wanna do? Oh, this life I choose I could die for you What you wanna do? Oh, this life I choose Make me wanna say I could die for you What you wanna do? Oh, this life I choose I could die for you What you wanna do? Oh, this life I choose

He thought you were awesome He thought I was awesome? My brother? Definitely! How? Well... He said There's nothing like your smile Sort of subtle and perfect and real He said You never knew how wonderful That smile could make someone feel And he knew Whenever you get bored You scribble stars on the cuffs of your jeans And he noticed That you still fill out the quizzes That they put in those teen magazines But he kept it all inside his head What he saw he left unsaid And though he wanted to He couldn't talk to you He couldn't find the way But he would always say If I could tell her Tell her everything I see If I could tell her How she's everything to me But we're a million worlds apart And I don't know how I would even start If I could tell her If I could tell her Did he say anything else? A-about you? Never mind, I don't really care anyways- No, no, no, just, no, no, he said-he said so many things, I'm just I'm trying to remember the best ones, so, um- He thought You looked really pretty, er- It looked pretty cool when you put indigo streaks in your hair He did? And he wondered how you learned to dance Like all the rest of the world isn't there But he kept it all inside his head What he saw he left unsaid If I could tell her Tell her everything I see If I could tell her How she's everything to me But we're a million worlds apart And I don't know how I would even start If I could tell her If I could tell her But what do you do when there's this great divide? He just seemed so far away And what do you do when the distance is too wide? It's like I don't know anything And how do you say I love you? I love you I love you I love you But we're a million worlds apart And I don't know how I would even start If I could tell her If I could
