Mac Lethal - Jake + Olive Lyrics






[x2:]
I Know in Life I Won't Be
Satisfied Unless I Live
My Life With you, Don't Wanna
Live One Single Day Apart
I Hope I Die Before You Do,

His Name Was Jake O'Brian He Was 17,
Her Name Was Olive Finn,
She Was Everything To Him,
She Never Even Knew Him Till He
Walked Up To Her With A bouquet Of
Petunias, And A Heart So Pure,

And She Was So Pretty, He Thought She
Was The Prettiest Girl In Kilkenny,
He Saved Every Penny That He Had
Working On The Train Tracks So,
He Could Buy A Ring For Her
When He Came back, And He Dropped
To His Knee, Said You Could Marry
Any Man In Ireland Madam But It's
Got to Be Me,

But When She Said No,
He Felt He Had To Go, So he Traveled
To America On A Ferry Boat, But,
Then There Was The Void, Cause She Just
Couldn't Live Without Him, She Was Sick
Without Him, So She Filled Out Immigration
Papers,

And Showed Up On His Door Step 30 Days
Later And Said This,

[x2:]
I Know in Life I Won't Be
Satisfied Unless I Live
My Life With you, Don't Wanna
Live One Single Day Apart
I Hope I Die Before You Do,

They Had 4 Kids Over 14 Years,
And Protected Each One From The Poor
Things Fierce, And Protected Each other
From The City It Was so Cruel,
In The Back Yard Watch The Summer
Weather Grow Cool

And It Was So Pretty, When Fall Came
It Transformed The Whole Entire City
There Was So Much Love' Within Them
That Olive Said To Jake I'm a Stay With
You forever On One Condition
Were Passionate Lovers, Every Night We
Sleep With Our Backs To Each other
Were Half Of Each other,

And I Don't Wanna Sleep One Night
Of My Life Knowing Your Aren't Next
To Me Hogging Half of The Covers,
Promise Me You'll Let Me Die First
Cause I Just Couldn't Live Without
You, I'd Be Sick Without You,
I'd Be A Devastated Lunatic Without You

You Wanna Make My Life Perfect,
This Is How to,

[x2:]
I Know in Life I Won't Be
Satisfied Unless I Live
My Life With you, Don't Wanna
Live One Single Day Apart
I Hope I Die Before You Do,

They Got Old 80+ Years And This Was
True Love Not A Day Was Unclear,
Cause This Was True Friendship, So Even
When The Kids Went To College,
They Kept The Romance Polished

Jake+Olive, Knifed In The Back Yard
Oak Tree, Lemonade, Salad,
Butterscotch, Roast Beef, You Know
That Old Saying Pick Your Poison
Well Olive Was A Smoker, And Jake
He Was Smoke Free, Uh

So When it Came Down To It
Lung Cancer, Chest Tube,
Draining All The Fluid, Olive On Her Death
Bed Looked Him In The Eyes, But She
Didn't Have To Say A Thing Cause He
Already Knew It, She Closed Her Eyes
And Then She Went Through it,

Her Last Few Breaths Were Like Irish
Folk Music, He Told The People At The
Funeral That They Were Happy That You
Knew Us, And Covered Olive's Casket In
Petunias

And Then He Went Home,
He Didn't Feel Quite
Right Sleeping There Alone, He Was
Half Of A Whole, Cracked In The Soul,
He Sat There Alive But His Passion Was
Dull, He Missed Olive,
And He Was So Sick Without Her
Couldn't Live Without Her,

So He Gave His Final Will To His
Neighbors, Fell ill And Died Exactly
30 Days Later,

The Immigrants...

  1. M.... w....

    When I was in college I used this song in a presentation the teacher was willing to let it go to see where I was going with my tangent at the end of the class she asked me to stay behind we talked for awhile it ended in a hug and a human moment

  2. a.... s....

    said it all. and if not I bet you will soon! love this song, moving video. good work man.

  3. T.... B....

    Still here in 2020 bumping this. 🖤😭🥰

    Song makes me tear up everytime fuck me

  5. S.... G....

    Mac lethal this song has gotten me through alot in my life and I thank u for making it. I love this song man. and wish I could have the same thing in my life.

  6. I.... a....

    Amazing, listened to it on the PlayStation, had to leave a comment via the iPad. Beautiful and touching. This should have more views and likes.

  7. M.... W....

    I remember seeing this in 2014

  8. r.... ....

    I accidentally found this video and I think that mac should make more songs like this
    He's got a really soothing voice and really fits into the song. .....
    Even Eminem can't rap like that
    Seriously

  9. N.... A....

    Love this song so much! 💚💚💚
    Seeing it live, was icing on the cake! Mac is amazing. Loved it!

  10. M.... B....

    2019 anyone?

  11. j.... ....

    Dude, I just heard the bars to this song in a Grammarly ad. I'm guessing they didn't try to get your permission to use them.

    I don't know which ad it was because the ad was a 0:15 ad, but get a lawyer, and get your money, friend.

  12. K.... S....

    I’d love to think that these details (specifically the 30 days till she showed up, 30 days till he died) were true. Amazing song, can’t listen to it more than a couple times though cause it makes me cry every time!

  13. K.... ....

    Holy shit, I can't believe I found this again. And it still hits as hard as it has back in the day. I just remembered it out of nowhere, part of me didn't want to find it because I knew how sad it gets. But I still remembered enough lyrics to look it up, and here I am.

  14. B.... C....

    This song always hits in the feels

  15. m.... ....

    havent heard this song in a while, still know all the lyrics :') used to be one of my favs

  16. H.... N....

    I bawl my eyes out every time I hear this.

  17. O.... R....

    Man I'm a Irish kansas boy and that's how my great grandparents got here I love this. You really inspire me Mac. They called my grandfather mac

  18. F.... D....

    saddes son eve

  19. F.... ....

    My great grandad just died yesterday and this song is my coping method. I love you Mac ❤️❤️

  20. G.... B....

    Fuck you Mac.. every time this shit brings me tears... ❤️

  21. C.... W....

    Mac, I know you'll never see this but I just wanted to say how amazing this song is. I've heard this at least 100 times and each time I tear up. This is how I feel about my wife, I don't want to live without her and I hope I die before she does. I wish the entire world could see this video and listen to the lyrics to understand how important someone can be in your life. Keep up the good work, can't wait to see you live in a few months!!!!!!

    C.... W....

    Thanks Colby, much appreciated man.

  22. Z.... M....

    Awsome song love how he shows the familys love brought my mom to tears

  23. d.... ....

    2019 finally found this song again its crazy how much more it means to me now..

  24. J.... ....

    They kept the romance polished
    Jake+Olive, knifed in the back yard
    Oak tree, lemonade, salad
    Butterscotch, roast beef. - "pure poetry" - Myself-2019

  25. O.... K....

    I’m not crying. You are.

  26. F.... L....

    Incredible track MAC. MAD RESPECT😎✌️

  27. F.... ....

    Oh my goodness... Pure love.
    Not many in the world get to experience this...

  30. C.... C....

    Hands down my favorite song. I could only dream my married life was half of this. Well done.

  31. D.... C....

    This has got to be the greatest love song

  32. R.... H....

    Listening to it in 2019. It still gets me everytime

  37. C.... M....

    This could have been about my parents. They were together for 75 years.

  38. s.... ....

    We should treat all immigrants with this sort of empathy. It’s not easy for any of them to do what they do.

  39. K.... G....

    Would die to remix this with mac - Zen

  40. S.... K....

    Mac this is so pretty, so thouching! it's hard to keep dry eyes

  41. h.... w....

    We were Jake and olive thru and thru! RIP Hermes!!!! https://youtu.be/-KwkpwEVLO0

    I emmiagrated to the US. In high school..we met.lived there for 10 years. later we ended up together after I returned to Canada. I moved back down..I ended up having to return to Canada due to my health..He ended up sick..I should have never moved back to Canada. I came down to Florida where we lived because he was in hospital due to heart attack and multiple strokes...I seen him and spent a week and a half in the hospital next to him and after I left we made plans because he was to be discharged a week later.. He was going move to Niagara falls NY and we were going to move back in together then he passed after I left Florida to come back up to Canada.This was our song since the beginning which was so ironic. Thank you for this song. He use to sing it to me. He actually seen you in MN .I think it was Bedmiji.. During a Halloween show he came on stage as a big penis made outta pantyhose lol. @maclethal #maclethal

  42. F.... L....

    Oh man how many times have I heard this song and it still gets me every time. Beautiful story and track. Heh I remember when I thought I found my Olive. I went to play baseball in college for a few months and drove 800 miles back for her birthday just to get rejected. But like you say Mac the best divorce happens before the marriage takes place.

  43. M.... w....

    I used this song in college project the teacher gave me a 98% for the video / comments should be your coffin smoke freee

  44. M.... w....

    This song almost makes me cry but. I'm a Jake obrian from 1989 .....

  45. N.... R....

    This is so underrated... Sadly

  46. m.... r....

    Omg the floodgates of my eyes have been opened! So beautiful and what I truly want in life!

  47. c.... ....

    This makes me miss my grandparents to a kinda sad level. Its strange being this happy and sad at the same time.

  48. O.... ....

    shit made me cry

  49. K.... B....

    Honestly I dedicated this song to my wife we have been together since 2009. Married for 4 years and have 2 kids. Best song in history!

  50. W.... C....

    My great grandfather
    Died exactly 30 days
    After my great grandmother.

  51. A.... l....

    The video is more emotional that just the song. The song itself is sad but this made me start sobbing.

  52. C.... M....

    ouch gotta catch a girl up in her feels, my ex used to sing me this song back when things were in their prime :/

  53. S.... C....

    Dude you just totally made me cry, happy tears. This is so beautiful.

  54. D.... S....

    Beautiful

  55. N.... R....

    I am a smoker and my wife is 30 year older..everytime i smoke one i know im a little closer to dying before her. Listen to this song and know i cant live without her..ive picked my poison. Just hope i go before she does because i cant live without her

  56. O.... C....

    Thanks Lethal 💚

  65. P.... L....

    Damn it made me cry 😳😍

  66. C.... ....

    you have so many things that just make me think of Eminem, maybe it's your flow? your voice? I have no idea but your words are truly something else brother, you don't have 1 track that doesn't mean something or have a purpose, none of this "mom's spaghetti" bullshit, keep going strong man! I love to see how even though you've written the track before you've recorded it, while you're rapping it, you're learning, progressing and fulfilling achievements within yourself and it's magical as fuck, a REAL inspiration to what REAL hip hop should be! Much love brother <3

  67. M.... G....

    I love you

  68. z.... l....

    Every time I watch this I tell myself I won't cry at the end. I need to stop lying to myself. This song is beautiful my friend.

Thank you for this beautiful song and tribute! The love you describe is my parents completely only my dad died at age 56. Love your music and again thank you!

  93. P.... M....
