## Composition

He shared after he wrote "Till I Die," months later, "I think that I just wrote a song that kind of expressed the way I see the world now as a more mature person. Don't get me wrong, I still get sucked back into it all of the time and I'ma always be in the streets and that's something that's gonna be present in my life forever. But I wanted to shed a little bit of light—you ever have one of those moments where you're like, 'If the world just felt what I feel now, we would be alright?' It's kind of one of those moments: Try out what it's like to not judge someone for one day, to not look down on people for one day; to have a little bit more love for the person next to you for just one day and see what comes out of it."

## Lyrics

**Lyrics**
[Pre-Hook: Victoria Monét]

I screamed at the top of my lungs

But my voice couldn't save this home

You're proud of the guns you hold

What's left now, where can we go?

[Verse 1: Machine Gun Kelly]

Yo, I had a dream that the world changed

And for a minute there was no pain

Instead of presidents and old sayings

I heard lyrics from Kurt Cobain

Then I wake up to see the world's ill

Oceans tainted from the oil spills

How many kids have these wars killed?

How many families can't afford bills?

I wish that I could let the world know

That it's okay to let the pain show

And even though times seem bad

It always rains before the rainbow

[Pre-Hook: Victoria Monét]

I screamed at the top of my lungs

But my voice couldn't save this home

You're proud of the guns you hold

What's left now, where can we go?

[Hook: Victoria Monét + Machine Gun Kelly]

I think we all need a little more love

I think we all need a little more love

We just need a little more love

The world needs a little more love

[Verse 2: Machine Gun Kelly]

Kells, In my hood money equals power

And in the world money controls everything we believe in

I can see we're in our darkest hour

'Cause it feels like the government just as crooked as the police

I spent the weekend catching up on the news

A girl committed suicide after she was bullied at school

'Cause some dudes told her she wasn't cool

But you would rather gossip about a famous person breaking the rules

I'm confused, tell me is my life's price worth the jewels?

They told me fight night i'm supposed to lose

Just 'cause in hindsight, they don't like my type:

White boy with some rhythm and blues

Kells

[Pre-Hook: Victoria Monét]

I screamed at the top of my lungs

But my voice couldn't save this home

You're proud of the guns you hold

What's left now, where can we go?

[Hook: Victoria Monét + Machine Gun Kelly]

I think we all need a little more love

I think we all need a little more love

We just need a little more love

The world needs a little more love

[Outro-Verse: Machine Gun Kelly + Victoria Monét]

You can give up like they tell you, stop like they tell you

Be scared to dream for the top like they tell you

But I'm trying to tell you

Fuck what they tell you

[Outro: Machine Gun Kelly, *Victoria Monét*]

And in these dark times

As a part of a generation they claim can't be saved it’s important to know we’re not blind

We see the truth through blue and dark eyes

And I would rather die on my feet then live on my knees if I can't live free

Right now in the world we just need

*A little more love*

*A little more love*

*A little more love*
