Lyrics

I guess we all infatuated with death

I guess we are all fascinated or obsessed with death.

Nobody knows when they'll be taking your breath

Uncertainty about when one's life will end.

Suicide some people taking the steps

Some individuals are contemplating or engaging in suicidal actions.

I wonder if they laid in regret

Reflecting on whether those who took their own lives regretted their decision.

I guess we all infatuated with death

Reiteration of the fascination or obsession with death.


I was 10 when i saw my first dead body, sat quiet at the funeral in shock

Recollection of a childhood experience witnessing death at a funeral.

My momma cryin' and I'm dry eyed, my friend's mother had been shot

Describing a traumatic incident involving a friend's mother being shot.

What a loss, I remember she was gorgeous and unique

Expressing admiration for the deceased's beauty and uniqueness.

As i walked up to the casket saw the plastic on her cheek

Observing the sight of the deceased with plastic on her cheek in the casket.

With her body wrapped in sheets, I cannot move my feet, I've never seen someone look so at peace huh

Feeling paralyzed while seeing someone at peace in death.

Momma said she was impressed with me, from the way I held my own and didn't cry

Mother's praise for not crying and holding composure.

To cheer me up, she took me to McDonalds, but all I think abouts my moment in the sky

Despite efforts to cheer up, thoughts linger on mortality.

And when it comes, I'll be ready I hope the homies are steady pallbearing for me partner I know the casket is heavy

Anticipation of death, imagining friends carrying a heavy casket.

I'm gone, it's deadly I hope that you play my medley

Acceptance of mortality as something inevitable and dangerous.

Reaper knockin' like the woofers that's bumpin' up in your chevy right?

Comparing the approach of death to a knocking reaper.

But for real I just wanna live me a heady life, to stay afloat know you end up payin' a heavy price

Expressing a desire for a carefree life but acknowledging the heavy consequences.

And honestly I don't know if it's worth it

Questioning the worthiness of the struggles in life.

I think about it every night

Contemplating life's challenges and uncertainties regularly.


I guess we all infatuated with death

Reiteration of the general fascination or obsession with death.

Nobody knows when they'll be taking your breath

Highlighting the unpredictability of when life might end.

Suicide some people taking the steps

Reference to individuals contemplating or attempting suicide.

I wonder if they laid in regret

Reflecting on potential regret for those who took steps towards suicide.

I guess we all infatuated with death

Reiteration of the general fascination or obsession with death.


Its been awhile, stealin' my inner child, and its prolly why I'm up late watchin' forensic files

Feeling the impact of time passing, possibly losing a sense of innocence.

When i get up on my facebook see someone past away look at all the people up the comments like when and how?

Engaging with news of death on social media, prompting thoughts about mortality.

It's fucked up, yeah we know, ain't strokin' my ego

Acknowledging the unpleasant reality without seeking self-gratification.

Just human nature to wonder where we go

Reflecting on the natural curiosity about the afterlife.

No sequel, my people, lock heavens gate so I stare thru the peep hole

Suggesting a closed gate to heaven, leading to speculation and curiosity.

Like what's up huh? Its my d-day, lookin all around I'm like where's the big homie CJ?

Contemplating one's own mortality on a significant day.

All up in my head but the party poppin' on replay,

Mentally conflicted between personal thoughts and ongoing festivities.

Biggie rockin' mics and got Jam Master to DJ

Imagining a scenario where deceased musicians continue their craft in the afterlife.

Or maybe it's just fading to black, and that's what makes me eager to stay

Considering the possibility of death as a transition to an unknown state.

Not saying that I'm stating the facts, but honestly it goes either way

Admitting uncertainty about what happens after death.


I guess we all infatuated with death

Reiteration of the general fascination or obsession with death.

Nobody knows when they'll be takin your breath

Reiterating the uncertainty of when life might end.

Suicide some people taking the steps

Reference to individuals considering or attempting suicide.

I wonder if they laid in regret

Questioning if those who took their own lives regretted their decision.

I guess we all infatuated with death

Reiteration of the general fascination or obsession with death.
