Play This At My Funeral [Remix] Lyrics
[Chorus: Nino Paid]
My mom was an addict and pop wasn’t there (He wasn’t)
Trust me, I still ain’t care
My stepdad came in, showed me the ropes
And he died and it’s messed up, ain’t it? I know
I know how it feel when your house supposed to be a home (I know how it feel)
And you feel like it’s nowhere to go
I know how it feel when you try your hardest all year (I know)
And you still got nothin’ to show (Trust me, I know)
I never thought I could be anybody but a nobody
God had to prove me wrong (Had to)
I never thought I’d be able to jump on stage
And people would know my song (Damn)
I spent 22 years in this world
And I’m hopin’ I still got 22 more on the clock
My lil’ sister is 19
Just had a baby that nobody told me about (Nobody told)
[Verse 1: Nino Paid]
My calls been goin’ to voicemail, how I’ma call on you when you never can answer?
(How I’ma call on you when you never can answer?)
As soon as my life goin’ good, it seem like another person diagnosed with cancer
Nobody told me that kids like me, who grew up with ACEs, die way faster
So maybe I’m already cooked (Uh-huh), it feel like my life a disaster (It feel like my life a disaster)
It feel like I’m cursed or trapped in a cycle of life where I never could win (I never could win)
I’m used to the hurt, I’m trapped in the cycle of pain where it never could end (Never could end)
I’ve been on the other side, nobody told you the grass ain’t green as it seem
I gotta go hard, the burdens of all my brothers been livin’ through me (They livin’ through me)
I do it for all my homies and most of the people who told me I couldn’t (Said that I couldn’t)
I help anybody that I can, I know that they ain’t do it for me and I shouldn’t (And I shouldn’t)
I’m showin’ my dog a whole ‘nother way to his life and it do feel good
As long as they smilin’, I’m happy, they ask would I change, and I wouldn’t
[Chorus: Nino Paid]
I never thought I could be anybody but a nobody
God had to prove me wrong (Had to)
I never thought I’d be able to jump on stage
And people would know my song (Damn)
I spent 22 years in this world
And I’m hopin’ I still got 22 more on the clock
My lil’ sister is 19
Just had a baby that nobody told me about (Nobody told)
[Verse 2: Polo G]
Off Addys, I’m trippin’, I’m focusin’ now
Tired of this way of livin’, I wanna get out
It be the niggas who’s broke, they ain’t give me hand, be the main ones holdin’ it out
I admit we was close, our relationship couldn’t advance ‘cause you never showed when it counts
Said he was hurtin’, they told him just be a man, so he put his phone to his scalp
The burdens of all my brothers been livin’ through me, now I just made an M in my sleep
My mama won’t help, and my brother been sent for a beat, would you just go, and visit at least?
I been heard that the feds got a boy with a picture of me, told lil’ bro, “Ain’t no killin’ this week”
Had to learn how to talk the language criminals speak with this shit ’til we stiff for the streets
They thought I’d be dead ’cause where I was left at
You don’t wanna be ahead on the death track
Now I know all of my challenges tough, and it’s easy to people, don’t ever respect that
Just when I think I’m progressin’, it come with a new problem, it’s causing a set back
Tryna turn all my losses into lessons, I hope I’m evolvin’ enough for my next match
Famous Phrases With Explanation from Play This At My Funeral Lyrics
“My house supposed to be a home”
This line captures a universal feeling, a place where you feel safe, but when the home itself becomes toxic, one becomes an emotional refugee.
“I never thought I could be anybody but a nobody”
Here self-worth seems to be lacking, but the line after that proves that growth is possible. It’s about discovering your own value despite your past.
“As soon as my life goin’ good, it seem like another person diagnosed with cancer”
This line shows the unpredictable nature of life. Just as happiness never lasts, when one problem ends, another begins.
“The burdens of all my brothers have been livin’ through me”
This is a metaphor of emotional inheritance. Like he is taking the pain of his friends and brothers on his shoulders.
“They thought I’d be dead ‘cause where I was left at”
This is Polo G’s statement against the assumptions of society, that people usually don’t survive from where he came from. It’s a big middle finger to that narrative.
