Die Alone
Embracing Life's Fragility: A Poetic Journey by DJ L-Spade and Onetwenty
Lyrics
Some people say, life's a gift
Life is often perceived as a valuable thing.
you should hold it close, You should cherish it
Life should be treasured and held dear.
Some people say, life's a gift
Reiteration of the notion that life is precious.
you should hold it close, You should cherish it
Reiteration of the idea of cherishing life.
I don't want to take away all your innocence
The speaker hesitates to expose someone to harsh truths.
Truth is you'll die here all alone
Despite intentions, the reality is that one will face death alone.
I don't want to take away all your innocence
Repetition emphasizing the inevitability of facing death alone.
Truth is you'll die here all alone
-I don't want to take away all your innocence
-Truth is you'll die here all alone
-I don't want to take away all your innocence
-Truth is you'll die here all alone
-Let me set the stage for my final chapter
Preparing for the final phase of life.
cfter this they'll be none after
Implying there will be no subsequent chapters or phases.
cfter this, there will be no more laughter
Anticipating an end to joy or happiness.
No questions needing some vague answers
There won't be any need for ambiguous explanations.
Nobody saying I'm just a rapper
Anticipating no one dismissing the artist as just a rapper.
Cause I'm just a rapper
Reinforcing the role of being perceived solely as a rapper.
No fanfare no added factors
-Life the stage and I'm just an actor
Comparing life to a stage and the speaker as a performer.
Im a common man with lowly stature
Describing oneself as an ordinary person with humble status.
c lot of y'all looked down on me but
Many have looked down on the speaker.
From day one to the days after
From the beginning until the future, the speaker won't submit to another's control.
Never will I ever call a man master
Asserting independence from being subservient to anyone.
I'm my own man don't need a pastor
Not relying on a religious figure for guidance.
I stand alone never needed back up.
The speaker stands resolutely without needing support.
It's my show and I'm the ringmaster
Life is portrayed as the speaker's own production, in control.
We all die I just did it faster
Recognizing that death is inevitable for everyone, but the speaker's approach is different.
