Death by Jeff Smith Lyrics
(1st Verse)
The only thing that's guaranteed in life
You can resist all you want but you're gonna lose the fight
The length of ours varies, and that's the part that's scary
Cuz there's no age limit for anyone to be buried
We all got a space to fill, you can't dodge it
We all gonna be dearly departed one day regardless
I think the Devil infiltrate my thoughts while I'm dreaming
And try to push my Angels aside to bring in demons
The night that revolver was shoved into my abdomen
Taught me that my purpose is real, it's no accident
Made it back home safely to tell my wife
Just to find out up the street a man lost his life
Since that night, I ain't never been the same, I've changed
The fear of people cuz a negro could've took me out the game
And now I ain't so fun no more, energy drained
My girl sees a difference in me, who can I blame?
(Hook)
Death, the fear of having no more breath
When your heart stops beating, you have no time left
We all gotta die one day, man that's a giving
But in the meanwhile, I'm tryna change my way of living
Death, you'll never know when it arrives
Death, the one thing common in all lives
Death, the one thing in life that I despise
Cuz one day we all gotta look the reaper in his eyes
(2nd Verse)
Some days I wanna check out, and blow my fucking chest out
But my girl told me that giving up ain't the best route
Watching documentaries, trying to figure what death's about
And if Heaven truly exist, I may be left out
I've been going through hell, while putting my girl through it
I've been depressed for some years now, and never knew it
She's the best gift I ever received, I think I blew it
My conscious says don't think suicide, just do it
My uncle Mark passed, I saw his wife and sons grieving
Would you cry for me if I was no longer breathing
If you think I belong on this planet, give me a reason
Life's a mothafucka but death's a different type of heathen
My grandma passing had me feeling like no tomorrow
Damn near killing myself living my life inside a bottle
And I ain't so fun no more, far from the same
My family saying I changed, who the hell can I blame?
(Hook)
Death, the fear of having no more breath
When your heart stops beating, you have no time left
We all gotta die one day, man that's a giving
But in the meanwhile, I'm tryna change my way of living
Death, you'll never know when it arrives
Death, the one thing common in all lives
Death, the one thing in life that I despise
Cuz one day we all gotta look the reaper in his eyes
(3rd Verse)
Will I survive long enough to die at an old age?
Will I die behind the wheel due to road rage?
Will I be wrongfully accused and die in a cold cage?
Will I die before I can truly get my soul saved?
I probably die broke and alone with no assistance
Will I even try to fight death with any resistance ?
Will I die before I ever get to make amends
With my soulmate, my lover, my true best friend?
Will I die before I can show my woman I evolved?
Will I die before all of my problems are resolved?
Will I die a happy man or die being bitter?
Will I die from a bad heartbreak or fatty liver?
But I don't wanna die without my queen by my side
Don't wanna be remembered as being mean when I die
Life ain't fun when you living enduring the pain
We all gonna die, but we ain't leaving the same
The only thing that's guaranteed in life
You can resist all you want but you're gonna lose the fight
The length of ours varies, and that's the part that's scary
Cuz there's no age limit for anyone to be buried
We all got a space to fill, you can't dodge it
We all gonna be dearly departed one day regardless
I think the Devil infiltrate my thoughts while I'm dreaming
And try to push my Angels aside to bring in demons
