( Last Emporer feat Poetic and Esthero ) 1993, shortly before Thanksgivin' I got the call she say Jamal, Derek is no longer livin Softly she spoke Is this a joke? Man, you gotta be kiddin As my question was raised this explanation was givin A meaningless death Made me question the meaning of life Does my body remain at rest like when I'm sleeping at night? Will I burn in eternal hell? Or will I find paradise? Be rejected or ressurected like the body of Christ Is it like purgatory the story described by the Catholics? Or nirvana that Buddha saw in both theory and practice Like I studied in my college phillosophy classes Or do my molecules and atoms travel back to the gases I mean what I'd like to know Is wheres my spirit go? After the curtains close On my final show Is there a pain it brings? Enjoy my favorite thing Visit ancient kings Hear the angel sing Letras de cancionesWho'll answers these said the great mcs My man Gremel's battling a debilitating disease He said "You see a brother like me is full in the fight" And everytime I question death my only answer in life Nigga fight One life Only god can set me free Am I living in this moment? Am I living righteously? It gets hard, but I know I've got to keep on I'm tryin so hard to be strong Paralyzed on the bathroom floor by pain Last month I endured But now I can't ignore Feels like rail road spikes being stuck in my liver And my dyin eyes cryin', body startin to shiver Crawl upstairs from the basement callin my sister *sniff* Dawn, help me, I ain't feelin to healthy Stomach walls burnin Head spinnin and turnin Waitin for the EMS 3:10 in the mournin Rush me to emergency screamin like a newborn The pain's to strong maybe my souls tryin to move on He hooked me to the i.v. Put me through some x-rays Gave me demorall to kill the pain that was the next phase Early the next day in a hospital room Moms and Pops in the room 3 or 4 docs in the room My test results suggest Your colon and your liver is so cancerous You got 3 months left Me and death is playin chess Ever since then My strength is the most high,my fam and close friends The Last Emp been sent free blessed me with a verse Stayin healthy comes first, look at me, things can be worse One life Only god can set me free Am I living in this moment? Am I living righteously? It gets hard, but I know I've got to keep on I'm tryin so hard to be strong One life Only god can set me free Am I living in this moment? Am I living righteously? It gets hard, but I know I've got to keep on I'm tryin so hard to be strong From Letras Mania
