3] Sometimes I in a mirror and ask myself: Am I scared of passing away? If it's today, I hope I hear a Cry out from heaven so loud it can water down a With the holy 'til it drown in the blood of Jesus I wrote some raps that make sure my lifeline Reeking the scent of a reaper, that my allegiance the other side may come soon, and if I'm doomed May the wound help my mother be for many moons I a lot, and every day the glass mirror Get tougher to watch; I tie my in knots And I'm not sure why I'm with death My imagination is surely an of threats That can come about, 'cause the is mighty powerful And I can name a list of your that probably vouch Maybe cause I'm a dreamer and is the cousin of death Really stuck in the schema of wonderin' when rest And you're right, your brother was a to me And sister's situation was the one that pulled me In a direction to speak of something that's realer the TV screen By any means, wasn't trying to or come between Her personal life, I was "It need to be told" Cursing the life of twenty after her soul what'd happen if I ain't continued rappin' Or steady being by money drugs and four- Fives, I count lives all on songs Look at the weak and cry, pray one day, be strong Fighting for rights even when you're wrong And hope that at least one of you about me when I'm gone Am I it? Did I put work in?
