In this song, Violent J is gunned down in a gunfight, but his death isn’t instantaneous. He walks around, trying to live his life as he slowly rots away, confused. He doesn’t want to admit that he’s died, and his denial is so strong it allows him to “survive”, even if only for a few moments later.

[Intro]
"You tried to stop me, remember?
So little faith in your own creation
But I stopped you
Did it hurt, did you feel pain?"
"You tried to stop me, remember?
Now you will face your own creation
But I stopped you
Did it hurt, did you feel pain?"
[Verse 1: Violent J]
Guess it all began when the bullet finally struck
And I walked away harmless, it must've been good luck
Or maybe I'm dead
(I'm sorry but you're dead)
Maybe I oughta go
Maybe I oughta go anyway
[Verse 2: Violent J]
Strange things have happened since this day occurred
A can hear a cold whisper in my every word
It's telling me I'm dead
(I'm sorry but you're dead)
No
Maybe I oughta go anyway
Maybe I oughta go
[Verse 3: Violent J]
I'm feeling so stiff as I walk out the house
And my tongue's so dry, think it's rotting in my mouth
Oh, tell me am I dead?
(I'm sorry but you're dead) ("It hurts")
Life goes on for some
[Verse 4: Violent J]
My boys all stare at me I wonder what they think
They don't blink and my teeth keep popping out, I stink
Oh, tell me am I dead?
(I'm sorry but you're dead)
I don't wanna die
Maybe I oughta go
Maybe I oughta go, if I'm dead
[Verse 5: Violent J]
My soul is so heavy that it draws me to the floor
I can hear these demons knocking at my door
They're laughing at the dead
(I'm sorry but you're dead)
No, no
[Chorus]
I don't wanna die, if you're dead, (Dead!)
I don't wanna die, (But you're dead!)
I don't wanna die, (You're dead)
No, maybe I oughta go, not yet now
Not yet now, I don't wanna die
Maybe I oughta go, (You're dead!)
Maybe I oughta go
I'm not going now
I'm not going now
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die, maybe I oughta go (You're dead!)
Maybe, not yet now
Not yet
Not yet now (You're dead)
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
I'm dead
I don't wanna die (You're dead)
Not yet (You're dead) ("You tried to stop me, remember?"
)
Not yet (You're dead) ("You tried to stop me, remember?"
)
Not yet (You're dead) ("It hurts!")
Not yet (You're dead) ("Did it hurt? Did you feel pain?"
)
Not yet ("I speak")
[Outro: Shaggy 2 Dope]
You're dead, bitch! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
