Yeah baby let me put you to bed real quick.
Yeah it’s alright. Let’s say this prayer.
Yeah…alright you ready? Let’s go.
“Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray thee Lord my soul to keep;
If I should die before I wake, I pray thee Lord my soul to take.”

CHORUS

I Used To Be Afraid To Die, but then I realized…
Everybody’s gotta die I gotta make the best of time
Rest in Peace to my people on the other side
I know I’m LIVE I can feel your spirit move inside

I Used To Be Afraid To Die, but then I realized…
FEAR is not a friend of mine he’ll leave your broke and paralyzed
Living FREE in this world of hypocrisy
The realist G ‘cause I know the one who died for me

VERSE 1

I’m having visions as a young child bloody and bruised
Nuclear War Holocaust broadcast on the news
What do you do when you’re out of food hungry and sick?
Watchin’ the plumes fill the earth; air is thick and toxic
Nothin’ to lose when you know you’re doomed trapped in a pit
Feelin’ the tunes of the shockwaves rip the earth quick
Now what awaits is an early grave callin’ my name
My life erased from this time and space burning in flames
I…Used To Be Afraid To Die
But when my boy Marcus Dixon died all I did was question why…
Another homicide why the hell he have to die?
Before his time now I saw the world with open eyes
Desensitized too many kids died before their time
Starting believing homicide was a part of life
Staying alive I used to think only the strong survive
But that’s a lie no man can hide from the reaper’s scythe (I…)

CHORUS

I Used To Be Afraid To Die, but then I realized…
Everybody’s gotta die I gotta make the best of time
Rest in Peace to my people on the other side
I know I’m LIVE I can feel your spirit move inside

I Used To Be Afraid To Die, but then I realized…
FEAR is not a friend of mine he’ll leave your broke and paralyzed
Living FREE in this world of hypocrisy
The realist G ‘cause I know the one who died for me

VERSE 2

I Used To Be Afraid To Die…
These are the realest words I ever spoke; no man alive has the antidote
Even though…they can clone under a microscope
Slippin’ through the sands of time I find it hard to cope
Any day could be my last where everything I know has past
There’s no fountain of youth or magic pill you can take
All you have is God’s grace and His blessing for the day
At nights I pray for my loved ones strugglin’ to maintain
Mournin’ losses of their children dealing with internal pain
Jadaya, Papito, Landon and baby Aida
All of you are dancin’ with the angels far away from danga’
No favor; the rich and poor will all meet their maker
So all that trash talk is irrelevant—player
Now look into the eyes of a warrior—NO FEAR
I traumatized Pennywise; IT had to disappear
I see it clear; the sacrifice so I can have eternal life

CHORUS

I Used To Be Afraid To Die, but then I realized…
Everybody’s gotta die I gotta make the best of time
Rest in Peace to my people on the other side
I know I’m LIVE I can feel your spirit move inside

I Used To Be Afraid To Die, but then I realized…
FEAR is not a friend of mine he’ll leave your broke and paralyzed
Living FREE in this world of hypocrisy
The realist G ‘cause I know the one who died for me

I USED TO BE AFRAID TO DIE!
