Givin Up The Ghost
Chorus:
I think I'm finally given up the ghost,
Now cuz my body was nothin but another host,
And now I'm on to bigger, better things,
I'll still never leave my past behind.
I finally earned my wings;
Something I can be proud of, and say it's mine.
V1:
You ever wish that you could just rewind?
Go back in time, and just turn out fine?
Well I do, but it's kinda impossible,
Maniacal, to think that that could really happen.
We may not live it again,
But at least we can imagine.
And when we aren't imagining,
We can't let it flash past again.
We gotta use our noses,
God has given us,
And smell the roses,
Take time to live it up.
And win it up,
And while you're at it, heck, even sin it up!
But under no circumstances will you ever give it up.
Until you're old and frail,
And really ready to bail,
You'll keep that faith,
You'll keep on tryin,
Never play it safe,
Until the day you're dyin.
And on that day, if you kept your word,
Then rest, you don't need no mercy on your soul.
Chorus:
I think I'm finally given up the ghost,
Now cuz my body was nothin but another host,
And now I'm on to bigger, better things,
I'll still never leave my past behind.
I finally earned my wings;
Something I can be proud of, and say it's mine.
V2:
I keep on wishing and dreamin,
I could live it again.
Til I wake up from sleepin,
In my bed,
Same old story in my head,
At my house,
It's so loud,
And I like it.
Gonna make memories outta today and send em to tomorrow.
Fake a felony but never play with anybody's sorrow.
Because if fighting comes and fighting goes,
Then we will never even know,
What coulda been,
What woulda been,
Or what even shoulda been.
It's time to start shown them,
Just who the hell I really am.
Ima tell the world I can.
And then I'll love all of my fans.
And to the people who said I couldn't-
I did!
I knew you thought I wouldn't,
But I did,
And at the end of the day,
That's how I'm getting my pay.
Chorus:
I think I'm finally given up the ghost,
Now cuz my body was nothin but another host,
And now I'm on to bigger, better things,
I'll still never leave my past behind.
I finally earned my wings;
Something I can be proud of, and say it's mine.
Speech:
Thank you for protecting us, forgiving us, and for everything you have given us. Thank you for loving us, and puttin no one abovee us. We may not really know who you are,
but we feel somebody else's creativity, and not ours. We feel your ability, to make stars, and we can't just let it be, when we are:
The people you chose,
The people who set the bar.
The people who knew,
would make it this far?
But we did, and that's what we'll be remembered for.
Always shakin, never takin, and always makin more.
