What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
1993, shortly before Thanksgiving
2
I got the call, she said Jamal Derek is not longer living
3
Softly she spoke, is this a joke? Man you gotta be kidding
4
As my question was raised this explanation was given
5
A meaningless death made me question the meaning of life
6
Does my body remain at rest like when I'm sleeping at night?
7
Will I burn in eternal hell or will I find paradise?
8
Be rejected or resurrected like the body of Christ?
9
Is it like purgatory, the story described by the Catholics?
10
Or Nirvana that Buddhists honor in both theory and practice?
11
Like I study in my college philosophy classes
12
Or do my molecules and atoms travel back to the gases?
13
I mean, what I like to know, is where my spirit goes?
14
After the curtains close, on my final show?
15
Is there a pain it brings? Enjoy my favorite things?
16
Visit ancient kings? Hear the angels sing?
17
Who'll answer these said the great MCs
18
My man Gribbles battling a debilitating disease
19
He said you see a brother like me is willing to fight
20
And everytime I question death my only answer is life
21
[Chorus]
22
One life, yeah
23
And my God will set me free
24
Am I living in this moment
25
Am I living righteously
26
It gets hard
27
But I know I got to keep on
28
I'm trying so hard to be strong
29
Paralyzed on the bathroom floor by pain
30
Last month I endured, but now I can't ignore
31
Feels like railroad spikes being stuck in my liver
32
Am I dying? Eyes crying, body starting to shiver
33
Crawl upstairs from the basement calling my sister
34
(Sniff) Dawn help me, I ain't feeling too healthy
35
Stomach walls burning, head spinning and turning
36
Waiting for the EMS; 3:10 in the morning
37
Rush me to the emergency screaming like a newborn
38
The pain's too strong maybe my soul's trying to move on
39
They hook me to the I.V., put me through some X-Rays
40
Gave me Demerol to kill the pain that was the next phase
41
Early the next day in the hospital room
42
Moms and pops in the room, three or four docs in the room
43
Test results suggest your colon and your liver
44
Is so cancerous you got three months left
45
Me and Death is playing chess ever since then
46
My strength is the most high, my fam and close friends
47
The Last Emp and Set Free blessed me with a verse
48
Staying healthy comes first
49
Look at me things could be worst
50
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
