On “Commissary,“ Clever explores death. He sings about how he would prefer to go out conscious rather than unconscious. Instead of just falling asleep as most people do, he wishes for a more traumatic downfall. He wants it to be more unique.

[Verse 1]
All I wanna do is shoot guns
Throw me in jail or a cemetery
I got money for commissary
All I need is that, "Oh, he died too young"
'Cause I don’t smile when I'm not high
And I keep smiling all the time
[Pre-Chorus]
If I have to die someday, let it be gunfire
And I will go 'til I run tired
And toast to that and raise this blunt higher
But lord, don’t you let me die
No, not in an easy way
[Chorus]
Let me go out like a youngster
Taking drugs, that's how we escape
Let it be gunshots or plane crashes
Just when I thought it was a safe passage
Or let me go out in flames or a straight jacket
But Lord, don't let me go the easy way
Oh, not in an easy way
[Verse 2]
My life fits on digital scales
Convictions so violent, they know nothing about physical sales
But if I slip up I already got two strikes
See my face out on the news
Dodgin' bullets and blue lights
[Pre-Chorus]
If I have to die someday, let it be gunfire
And I will try to sit upright
And blow my smoke at the sunlight
But Lord, don't you let me die
No, not in a simple way
[Chorus]
Let me go out like the gangsters
Kill and be killed in a single day
Let it be gunshots or plane crashes
Just when I thought it was a safe passage
Or let me go out in flames or a straight jacket
But Lord, don't let me go the simple way
Oh, not in a simple way
[Outro]
All I wanna do is shoot guns
Throw me in jail or a cemetery
I got money for commissary, yeah
