Lyrics

Yo
Some say the moment before you die
Your brain releases these chemicals, and
What might seem like an eternity
Could be mere seconds
You know, to ease the pain of dying
And uh, your brain will play back all these great memories
That you've forgotten
That's what a near death experience is
So
Let's go for a stroll
The afterlife is out of my control
Take one last look at the world
Nah, I keep my eyes closed
Let's go for a stroll
What do you feel? Man, I feel cold
All that's gold does not glitter
All that glitters is not gold
Let's go for a stroll
So I hope that when I do pass, that it do last
And I pray that I die a slow death cuz this life moved too fast
I'm an old soul in the new class with a family dynamic
That handed me down influence
The same way they'd hand-me-down pants, one leg a time
Hey, Tom, why don't you take a picture, it'll last longer
I'm forever grateful for growin' up
With no baggage, trauma or past to haunt us
Plus, with a very strong family structure
From first born down to the baby
50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, so many great generations
So fortunately, if I go last, save me a place up there
I heard that it's safe up there
No rain up there, just take good care of the family
I bet it's incredibly green in heaven like Bill Bixby
I imagine it feels how y'all felt all together at Pixley's
Let's go for a stroll
The afterlife is out of my control
Take one last look at the world
Nah, I keep my eyes closed
Let's go for a stroll
What do you feel? Man, I feel cold
All that's gold does not glitter
All that glitters is not gold
Let's go for a stroll
The afterlife is out of my control
Take one last look at the world
Nah, I keep my eyes closed
Let's go for a stroll
What do you feel? Man, I feel cold
All that's gold does not glitter
All that glitters is not gold
Let's go for a stroll
I picture heaven as a local park for the civilians
With baseball fields and jungle gyms, all you see is endless pavilions
Sidewalk chalk on all the blocks cuz the good kids love scribblin
Coffee shops for the morning walks, and hiking trails by the millions
And of course, gotta have the b-ball courts, we're headed there early
Cuz even in heaven, you gotta reserve it, so I'm in that black and red jersey
The very same one I was in when the U-Haul took off on Louis St, skrrtin
With The Pixley Park wavin' goodbye, like, thank you all for your service
I can count all seven of us, everything's moving in slow-mo vision
I see some kids with the yo-yo spinnin
Some other kids over there pogo stickin
It's an Armitage family reunion, isn't it, oh, what a photo finish
They're all going for a lil' walk outside
So, I grab my girl and we both go with 'em
Yeah, let 'em do an autopsy and have 'em slice up and open my heart
Tell mama to bottle up all that's inside
And she'll have equal parts love and hope in the jar
I'm sorry, but livin' this double life? It tore me apart
And since life is supposed to be hard
Death should feel like a stroll in the park
Let's go for a stroll
The afterlife is out of my control
Take one last look at the world
Nah, I'll keep my eyes closed
Let's go for a stroll
What do you feel? Man, I feel cold
All that's gold does not glitter
All that glitters is not gold
Let's go for a stroll
The afterlife is out of my control
Take one last look at the world
Nah, I'll keep my eyes closed
Let's go for a stroll
Look at us now, we're all gettin' old
But until I die, I'm breakin' the mold
And if I write, I'm writin' in bold
Let's go for a stroll
Pixley Park was not a lark
It posed a serious question
What can we do for kid who knew
Only violence and destruction?
Do what God did - fashion a garden
Add a meadow and a hill
Show our youth a real truth
That creation can be their thrill
