Don't Waste Your Life

Song Meaning

KB turns the question of purpose into a rap testimony, opening with the admission that many people fear death while others assume they already have a place in the sky. He presses the harder question — why am I here, and what am I here for — then answers it by refusing to let his life go to waste. The song points to Luke 24:32-36 as evidence worth checking out, and frames every opportunity as a chance to witness for Christ. KB contrasts the American Dream he once chased — early college, a degree by eighteen, a pretty wife, a good salary — with the moment he got saved and everyone around him got angry, because he chose Bible college and theology instead. The sharpest line asks when believers started taking sinners' advice about whether following Christ limits your life, and whether the dead should be consulted on behalf of the living. He wants to pass on a faith that acts like the book after John, regenerated and unashamed, and the hook repeats the resolve not to waste his life. It's a track about stewardship of days, not just eternal security.

Same mess don't waste your life man
(HGA)
I know a lot of people man they scared they gonna die
A couple of 'em thinkin' they be livin' in the sky
Why I'm here livin' man I gotta ask "why?"
What am I here for I gotta figure out (waste my life)
Nah I gotta make it count
If Christ is real homie what Imma do about
Everything in Luke 24:32-36 you really gotta go and check it out
Buddy you know I gotta take every opportunity that I get to witness for that testimony of the one Christ
If anybody was every waitin' for me to talk about another person my question would only be "why?"
Is there, anybody like Him?
Makin' you give somethin' that's already His
Better than, pretty women, sinnin' for a minute
Livin' for His glory 'cause my sins have been forgiven
See I started college at age sixteen
Turn eighteen with a college degree
Go to any school in the state that I please
American Dream man that was so me
Cute wife who watches her calories
By the pool type, bangin' salaries
Got saved everybody got mad at me (I threw it all away)
'Cause I went to Bible college for theology
They say livin' for Christ is to limit you life
But when did we start takin' sinners' advice?
Should we consult the dead on behalf of the livin' when they don't know what livin' is like?
You wanna pass the baton, with a faith that acts like the book after John
Regenerated, wrath indicated, debated and hated baby but I never wanna waste my life

Life, life, life
Don't wanna waste my life, life, life
Don't wanna waste my life, life, life
Don't wanna waste my, don't wanna waste my,
Don't wanna waste my life, life, life
Don't wanna waste my life, life, life
Don't wanna waste my life, life, life
Don't wanna waste my, don't wanna waste my,
Don't wanna waste my life
