Death Is Certain
Embracing Life's Journey: Reflections on Mortality and Legacy
Lyrics
This song is for everybody I know that
This song is a tribute to everyone I've known who left the world prematurely.
Left earth early you still with me
Despite their early departure, their presence is still felt in my life.
Death is certain it’s something you can’t survive
Death is inevitable and something no one can escape.
We can prepare for it as long as we are alive
We can prepare for death while we are alive.
I wonder what happens on the day that I will die
The artist contemplates what happens on the day of his death.
Do I become a spirit or just a star up in the sky
He wonders if he becomes a spirit or a star in the sky after death.
Looking down on my loved ones
Imagines looking down on loved ones after death.
You must have thought about it cause we all lost someone
People have likely thought about death due to losing someone.
And while I’m here hold on to my hand and grab it tight
Encourages holding onto connections while alive.
I’m that I will see you again up in the after life
Expresses hope in reuniting in the afterlife.
Nothing in life comes easy so you have to fight
Life requires a constant struggle and effort.
Dieing in the soul and that will be my Gladys Knight
Metaphorically dying in the soul, referencing Gladys Knight.
Pass the mic and allow me to speak
Passes the mic to share personal thoughts.
Peaceful warrior so I wanna die in my sleep
Expresses a desire for a peaceful death during sleep.
I never wanna feel the pain
Rejects experiencing pain in life or death.
Reminisce on the all the people that I miss today
Reflects on the people missed in life.
This song is not about punch lines
Emphasizes the song's focus on life's challenges, not just clever lines.
It’s about life lines and you don’t really wanna see em break
Life lines are precious, and their breaking is undesirable.
I hope they proud of the man that I am turning into
Hopes for pride in the person he is becoming.
Eternal love is what I feel so that is what I give you
Expresses eternal love and the intention to give the same.
I didn’t pray enough but I hope that God got me
Admits not praying enough but hopes for divine protection.
So don’t shed a tear over my dead body
Asks not to mourn over his dead body when he passes away.
When I hold the mic I scare rappers like a poltergeist
His presence on the mic is intimidating like a poltergeist.
Their eyes can’t close at night because I am a ghostly sight
His impact haunts others, making it hard for them to sleep.
I’m living with a lot of stories it’s better to die
Living with many stories, suggesting a fulfilling life.
I wanna be in the top 5 dead or alive
Expresses a desire to be remembered among the top 5 in his craft.
Immortalised forever so when you call my name
Aspires for immortality and recognition in the hall of fame.
You can hear a pin drop in the hall of fame
Wants a profound impact, symbolized by a pin drop in the hall of fame.
I did so many good things in the past and present
Highlights positive actions in the past and present.
But only when I die they saying I’ll become a legend
Recognition as a legend is anticipated only after death.
If all else fails I hope that Hip Hop got me
Hopes for acknowledgment and influence in the hip-hop community.
Find music in my body when they do my autopsy
Suggests finding music within him during an autopsy.
With all the kak that I talk somebody should’ve shot me
Reflects on the provocative nature of his words and actions.
I got the heart of a lion salutas to Crosby
References having the courage and strength of a lion, honoring Crosby.
I navigate my way through these cold streets
Navigating through life's challenges in harsh environments.
I left a message to God in case we don’t meet
Leaving a message to God in case they don't meet.
I appreciate everything that He did for me
Expresses gratitude for everything God has done.
And when I die I hope my family’s is my beneficiaries
Hopes his family benefits when he passes away.
