[Chorus: Rob Markman]
I feel death around the corner
Can't cover ya eyes, you can't stall her
Try and duck and you hide, she still want ya
So I'ma live how I wanna, I'ma live how I wanna
The devil, he be lurkin'
And I already know that death certain
But before God close the curtain
I'ma live out my purpose, I'ma live out purpose
[Verse 1: Rob Markman]
I’m from the city where the skinny kiddies die
I done gained a couple pounds, my cholesterol high
Figured I was safe, if I had a lil' weight
When you got a full plate, then them muthafuckas hate
Wait, told you it was too late at the wake
Now everything at stake, bow our heads I'ma bout to say grace
Dear Lord, I'm accepting of my fate
In hell's fiery lake or in Heaven at the gates
Know I'm here for the moment
I don’t fear no opponents
I just feel like I'm chosen
To be here for the culture
That clown shit over and done wit'
They done took the game reduced it to dumb shit
Know you tryna play a role, when you sittin' on ya own
And you contemplate control over everything you own
Every single thing you wrote, held scared with ya folks
Taken as a joke, it's enough to make you choke
[Chorus: Rob Markman]
I feel death around the corner
Can't cover ya eyes, you can't stall her
Try and duck and you hide, she still want ya
So I'ma live how I wanna, I'ma live how I wanna
The devil, he be lurkin'
And I already know that death certain
But before God close the curtain
I'ma live out my purpose, I'ma live out purpose
[Verse 2: Trizz]
I'ma live out my purpose, I'ma do whatever's worth it
I'm young, dumb and full of cum, don't judge me 'cause I'm learnin'
The only thing for certain is yo' death the reaper lurkin'
And comin' kill whenever, whoever he feel deserve it
Yeah, and sometime I feel worthless
Outta place and outta bounds like I ain't worth shit
Straight up but as I sit and sip the bourbon
I'm hurtin' and certain to get it because I'm workin'
And I keep the reefer burnin' like Khalifa
With a queen like Latifah, she be splurgin'
And these bitches I ain't concerned wit'
The ones y'all take turns with, be well know to burn dick
And if death is around the way
Then you better get out the way 'cause today could be the day
Yeah, and I live by what I say
Only on my knees to pray, I'm just tryna be okay
[Chorus: Rob Markman]
I feel death around the corner
Can't cover ya eyes, you can't stall her
Try and duck and you hide, she still want ya
So I'ma live how I wanna, I'ma live how I wanna
The devil, he be lurkin'
And I already know that death certain
But before God close the curtain
I'ma live out my purpose, I'ma live out purpose

I met Trizz in LA when I was working with Saint Pat Beatz. It was the same night I recorded “Don’t Beg, Don’t Borrow” and “Head High.” Pat had another record that he wanted me and Trizz to do for his album, so we knocked that out too. That’s why on “Head High” I say “caught a flight, first night we...
In a lot of ways “Death Around the Corner” is a continuation of the thoughts and feelings on my “It’s Too Late at the Wake” album. It’s all about living your life to the fullest and aggressively going after your dreams. Tomorrow isn’t promised, so what are you going to do today?
