I Used to Be Afraid to Die

Yeah baby let me put you to bed real quick Yeah it's alright. Let's say this prayer Yeah... alright you ready? Let's go "Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray thee Lord my soul to keep If I should die before I wake, I pray thee Lord my soul to take" I Used To Be Afraid To Die, but then I realized... Everybody's gotta die I gotta make the best of time Rest in Peace to my people on the other side I know I'm LIVE I can feel your spirit move inside I Used To Be Afraid To Die, but then I realized... FEAR is not a friend of mine he'll leave your broke and paralyzed Living FREE in this world of hypocrisy The realist G 'cause I know the one who died for me I'm having visions as a young child bloody and bruised Nuclear War Holocaust broadcast on the news What do you do when you're out of food hungry and sick? Watchin' the plumes fill the earth; air is thick and toxic Nothin' to lose when you know you're doomed trapped in a pit Feelin' the tunes of the shockwaves rip the earth quick Now what awaits is an early grave callin' my name My life erased from this time and space burning in flames I... Used To Be Afraid To Die But when my boy Marcus Dixon died all I did was question why... Another homicide why the hell he have to die? Before his time now I saw the world with open eyes Desensitized too many kids died before their time Starting believing homicide was a part of life Staying alive I used to think only the strong survive But that's a lie no man can hide from the reaper's scythe (I...) I Used To Be Afraid To Die, but then I realized... Everybody's gotta die I gotta make the best of time Rest in Peace to my people on the other side I know I'm LIVE I can feel your spirit move inside I Used To Be Afraid To Die, but then I realized... FEAR is not a friend of mine he'll leave your broke and paralyzed Living FREE in this world of hypocrisy The realist G 'cause I know the one who died for me I Used To Be Afraid To Die... These are the realest words I ever spoke; no man alive has the antidote Even though... they can clone under a microscope Slippin' through the sands of time I find it hard to cope Any day could be my last where everything I know has past There's no fountain of youth or magic pill you can take All you have is God's grace and His blessing for the day At nights I pray for my loved ones strugglin' to maintain Mournin' losses of their children dealing with internal pain Jadaya, Papito, Landon and baby Aida All of you are dancin' with the angels far away from danga' No favor; the rich and poor will all meet their maker So all that trash talk is irrelevant—player Now look into the eyes of a warrior—NO FEAR I traumatized Pennywise; IT had to disappear I see it clear; the sacrifice so I can have eternal life I Used To Be Afraid To Die, but then I realized... Everybody's gotta die I gotta make the best of time Rest in Peace to my people on the other side I know I'm LIVE I can feel your spirit move inside I Used To Be Afraid To Die, but then I realized... FEAR is not a friend of mine he'll leave your broke and paralyzed Living FREE in this world of hypocrisy The realist G 'cause I know the one who died for me I USED TO BE AFRAID TO DIE!
