When I Am Gone (Album Version)

Lyrics

[Intro: Wax] Some songs are just like this dirt They been around forever I don't know who wrote 'em I heard my father sing this song, his father sang that song to him All our forefathers knew this song It went something like this [Verse 1: Wax] Ain't no tellin' when your time is up So everybody with me, lift your cup For tomorrow we may all be dead That's what a dead wise man said The moment right before the lightning struck [Chorus: Wax] Drink one for the ones who drank too much Smoke one for the ones who smoked before us Pour some liquor out for those who passed on And roll one up for me when I am gone [Verse 2: Wax] Before mankind could even pitch a tent He discovered how the alcohol'd ferment And for the next ten thousand years He drank his liquors, wines, and beers Let's honor him for all the time he spent When tribal cavemen wanted to get high There wasn't a dispensary nearby Before he found that OG kush He smoked every shrub, tree, and bush Let's not forget his sacrifice as I Hey [Chorus: Wax] Drink one for the ones who drank too much Smoke one for the ones who smoked before us Pour some liquor out for those who passed on And roll one up for me when I am gone [Interlude: Wax] 'Tis for the guinea pigs That'll go and get me this Ice cold beverage that's sittin' in my mini fridge I am an idiot, I don't know how the motherfucker works Ayy, vicodin or vitamin Depression or enlightenment A toast to the those who initially shed light on it 'Cause senses of entitlement make us seem like a bunch of jerks [Verse 3: Wax] Every day I'm drivin' in my car Knock on wood, I hope I make it far I'm not just knockin' for myself I'm also knockin' for the health Of the dude who drives my Lyft home from the bar They say they makin' new technology (Technology) That'll make us all live for eternity (Eternity) Well, if that stuff really exists Please put me on the waiting list If I still die, then roll one up for me Hey [Chorus: Wax] Drink one for the ones who drank too much Smoke one for the ones who smoked before us Pour some liquor out for those who passed on And roll one up for me when I am gone Drink one for the ones who drank too much (Too much) Smoke one for the ones who smoked before us Pour some liquor out for those who passed on And roll one up for me when I am gone (Who are these guys?) Drink one for the ones who drank too much Smoke one for the ones who smoked before us Pour some liquor out for those who passed on And roll one up for me when I am gone Yeah [Bridge: Herbal T] (Herbal T) Yo, don't trip You ain't gotta feel culpable La muerte es inevitable Michigan to Zimbabwe You ain't gotta be from Miserable Tú sabe' que tu eres mi yo degradable I'm gonna rot, you're gonna rot, we're gonna rot Pour a shot on my burial plot And give a big salud, take it straight to the head And sing along to this song on the Day of the Dead It goes [Chorus: Wax] Drink one for the ones who drank too much (Yeah) Smoke one for the ones who smoked before us (Let's do it) Pour some liquor out for those who passed on And roll one up for me when I am gone (Yeah) [Refrain: Wax] Roll one up for me when I am gone (Gone) [Outro: Wax] And so it goes Tomorrow the sun gon' shine And this dirt gon' still be here But I may not You may not But this song gon' be So just like my great grandfather used to say Roll up a fat fuckin' joint in my honor And the honor of our forefathers Thank you And good night
