I don't know about you, but first thing I wake up every morning   look in the mirror say to myself is...      I am going to die   And I've come to terms with that   But the when, where, and how's where the concern is at   It's fucked up that I'll be dead when I've learned all of that   Fact is we mustn't fear it   For fear is the mind killer   Elijah wanted to die and there ain't nothing iller   There's life and there's death   All else is just filler   So that situation you millin' that got you hella stressed   Trust it won't mean shit once you take your last breath   Kick the bucket by the farm   Eternal version of forget   To set the alarm   The deepest sleeper sleeps   I'm talking six feet deep   That final appointment   That we all have to keep   You know that knick knack cancels all the rest of your plans   In an over-priced box of carpet   Rock rocking that eternal b-boy stance   Your family and friends come to tears at first glance   Regret that they never said what they had to say   When they all had the chance   Hands down the worst shit   That could possibly happen   There ain't nothing like death   To straight fuck up your day   But ain't nothin' like living to make that feeling go away   So go ahead and play   For when the head coach calls a time out   You're permanently benched   It's too late to sulk about how your time was spent   Break up's a bad credit   It's all temporary   Be sure to make some memories for all your friends to carry   So when your soul slips through your retina   You sleep on a stretcher   You can rest in peace and know the world won't forget ya   And I'll catch you on the other side   We riders of the sea   Who know the world must go on without you and me
