Tom MacDonald - Gravestones lyrics

A hundred-thousand records sold
I've been dreamin’ 'bout this moment since
I was seven years old
I should probably go home
Ride around the city with the top back
Screamin' "fuck y’all" with a megaphone
Y'all already know, I did it independent
Controversial records since I made it
Lost so many fuckin' friendships
I wish that I could say I learned my lesson
I regret it but the only place I give
A fuck's an alternate dimension
All this negative attention
What a waste of breath
Give a fuck about the odds
Y'all should place your bets
Play your cards and then complain
I rigged the game, go 'head change the deck
I got nothin' but some aces left
Looking back
All I see is people who are bitter


And if they look my direction
All they'll see is middle fingers
Probably hit me up on Twitter
I’ma miss it though
I ain’t worried 'bout a pistol
’til the trigger's pulled

I just wanna be a legend
While I'm still alive
It seems like hella rappers goin'
Platinum when they die
It’s gravestones, it's gravestones
I just wanna be a legend
While I'm still alive
It seems like hella rappers goin'
Platinum when they die
It's gravestones, it's gravestones

Lately, I've been livin' a dream
I blew out the candles and wished
For this when I was sixteen ripped jeans
Now I'm hangin' out the window of
A limo, like, "What's up, bitch? It's me"
Don't trip, I'm just winnin', ho
Tried to tell 'em that I'm wicked though
I just did a show, every ticket
Sold, never miss the goal
I don't hit the post
And I ain't keepin' score
But shit's official when the whistle blows
I'm offensive, I respect if you don't feel it
But my dog just died
So I got bigger shit to
Deal with than feelings
Stay mad, I'ma keep to myself
I'ma do it for the people
Who really needed my help
The death threats all preceded my wealth
Turns out it's ghost stories
They repeatedly tell, uh
And every man needs to know
Where he came from
'Cause he's headed for a gravestone

I just wanna be a legend
While I'm still alive
It seems like hella rappers goin'
Platinum when they die
It's gravestones, it's gravestones
I just wanna be a legend
While I'm still alive
It seems like hella rappers goin'
Platinum when they die
It's gravestones, it's gravestones

Every single night has been a blur
I've been hella tired of hearin'
I should wait my turn
I'm just takin' what I earned
Y'all still owe me for the
Songs you never heard
Couple hundred-million views
Not even close to what they worth
Hella people actin' like they work
Claim they got a bag
But they barely got a purse
Claim the grass is greener
But I touch it and it's turf
Claim your team is wolves
Y'all ain't even rockin' fur
I'm just sick of all the fake
I don't like the way they move
I don't like the things they say
I know none of that is true
They say they've been at the lake
But they're really at the pool
They say they be gettin' paid
But they only rent a room
I moved my family out the hood like
We not made for the ghetto
And I'm so close to the top that when I yell
There's an echo i get anxiety whenever a
New stranger says hello
Fifteen minutes of fame became
A two-hour special, what's up?

I just wanna be a legend
While I'm still alive
It seems like hella rappers goin'
Platinum when they die
It's gravestones, it's gravestones
I just wanna be a legend
While I'm still alive
It seems like hella rappers goin'
Platinum when they die
It's gravestones, it's gravestones
