Lately I've been having trouble every time I try to sleep
I’ve tried meditating, medicating, even counting sheep
But it seems that every time I try to lay down in my bed
A voice keeps whispering something in my head
It says boy be careful what you do and say
Well, you never know you might just die today
I can't help but think about why this got to happen to me?
You know I was ridin easy now I'm movin bout as fast as a tree
It seems every time I try to go the wheels start rollin slow
Am I cursed with bad luck?
I don’t know
I never learned to take the careful way
I better soon cause I might just die today. I better soon cause I might just die today. All I know is I don't wanna die today
My baby tried to tell me I was living life too fast
"You know the way you're livin just ain't enough to last"
I said, "What's wrong with you honey don't you like fun?
Gettin round is so easy when all you do is run"
He said, "Mama, I know you like your way, but you better slow down so you don't die today"
You better slow down so you don't die today
All I know is I don’t wanna die today
All I know is I don’t wanna die today
