And Then You Die

I woke up early on my born day and brushed off the placenta
I quickly learned the world would turn without me being present
Speck on the earth, I've been dying since my birth
Went to school, went to work, paid my rent on the first
For every prince born, there's a thousand crack heads
For every Ali-baba, there's 40 thieves that back him
Life ain't always the way it's advertised
Man is born, man lives and man dies
Maybe opened his eyes, like once or twice
But mostly avoided the thought of his own life
Everyone you love will suffer the same fate
So keep on complaining about the way that dinner tastes
Because sometimes I feel like the walls are closing in
What's the point of a beginning if you have to have an end?
I could tell you why, but it would be the biggest lie
The point is there is none, life's a bitch and then you die

I woke up late on a Tuesday, I questioned getting dressed and
Used to be a blessing, that essence of adolescence
Now I'm second guessing my presence, destined to flesh and
Bone, kings dethroned, addicts in the same vein gone
To the great unknown, my empire of dirt, this kingdom of ashes and dust
Minds rust, eyes crust, brains rot, cum, blood, mucus, and snot
25 years never sober, happy that it's almost over
Spent my days in'a haze shooting the bull, where the buffalo roam
World's eating at my soul, momma cries with heavy moans
I hear my momma cry out with heavy moans
That's why it's die now, be a martyr
Die later, you suffer harder
And always rock the JC next to the Salinger
Marking my days, by throwing x's at the calendar
Whoever told you it only gets better fucking lied
Because life's a bitch and then you die
