Lyrics
[Chorus]
And if I must go and die at 27
Then at least I know I died a legend
Now, will you roll and ride like we're together?
And keep the vibe alive inside forever
And feel me forever
They say I need to slow down, but I don't know how
[Verse 1]
Yeah, real feelings from past dealings
When people counted me out till I grew up to count millions, uh
Like I guess it's good to be different, huh?
I'm a star, so the sky isn't the limit, huh?
I'm living like it's my last day
Smoke as if there's not already twenty-seven roaches in the ashtray
Smile as if no one hated at all
As if anyone understood anytime I evolved
Tell me, what do you do when what you dream comes true?
Buy a Bentley and look just like you?
How I'm supposed to write a song when I'm famous and all the pain is created?
I need to overdose on inspiration, 27
[PreChorus]
Why don't you just go home?
Well, I can't right now, I'm a rolling stone
[Bridge]
And if I must go and fly away
And kiss my baby girl goodnight
And if this really is goodbye
Then let's set the city on fire
Can you take me higher?
Now, can you take me higher?
Now, can you take me higher?
Can you take me higher?
[Chorus]
If I must go, die at 27
Then at least I know I died a legend
Will you roll and ride like we're together?
And keep the vibe alive forever, keep the vibe alive forever
And if I must go, die at 27
Then at least I know I died a legend
Will you roll and ride like we're together?
And keep the vibe alive forever, keep the vibe alive forever
[Outro]
I let these words seep from my soul
And speak through the song
'Cause if one day, I'm no longer here in the physical
Then at least I give you my voice to listen to
What is a beautiful life without a beautiful death?
What is a beautiful mind, how is our beauty defined?
Is it for you to decide, is it my duty to die?
No matter how I'm remembered, just let me be remembered
Kells
Yeah, forever young, though
Always be those crazy kids running wide-eyed down the boulevard
27, bloom
