Long Before I Die
Mastering Life's Game: Taking Control Long Before the End
Lyrics
You got yours
You have what you have
Baby I got mine
I have what I have
We just can't seem to make ends meet
We struggle to meet our needs
Don't you realize when jumpin' in the water
A warning about consequences when taking risks
You're gonna get wet past knee deep
Once committed, expect challenges beyond surface level
Give in
Accept defeat or yield
Give and take
Engage in mutual cooperation
Taken by mistake
Caught in an unfortunate situation unintentionally
Sooner or later deceit's gonna hit
Deception will eventually have consequences
Lay your cards on the table and draw
Reveal your intentions and face the outcomes
From now on
Claiming control over one's life from this point forward
I call the shots
Asserting authority and decision-making power
Long before I die
Anticipating control and influence throughout life
Long before I die
Reiterating the desire for control over one's destiny
Give in
Repeat of the theme of cooperation and compromise
Give and take
Continuation of the give-and-take dynamic
Taken by mistake
Reiteration of being caught in unfortunate circumstances
From now on
Reaffirmation of personal control and decision-making
I call the shots
Declaring authority and influence over one's life
Long before I die
Reiteration of anticipating control throughout life
Long before I die
Reiterating the desire for control over one's destiny
