Beautiful Death Lyrics - Ab-soul

[Verse 1: Ab-Soul] 

My only fear is fear itself 

I ain't afraid to die, more afraid of myself 

Niggas looking at me like I don't hear myself 

Like I don't know pain, I been here myself 

This life will drive you crazy 

Only if you let it 

I'm just an American expressing, give me some credit 

Won't be surprised if before I rise, I'm beheaded 

These are the days of our lives 

Nightmares of a thief coming, taking my life 

I go to sleep thinking I may never wake up 

In this reality, at least I keep my bed made up 

I just wish they all could see what I can see 

If we could stop it with the violence and apply a lil' logic I believe 

We could strive to be a promising civilization 

We may die individually, but as a nation 

We'll rise, nigga, change lives, nigga 

Break ties from the everyday lies, nigga 

It's not time, until it's our time 

[Hook] 

Don't be so afraid to die 

Until it's our time 

Don't be so afraid to die 

It's our time, til it's our time 

Cause we'll never die 

[Verse 2: Ab Soul] 

All I see is confusion and chaos 

Blatant disorder, authorities picking on the minorities 

Unfortunately, the land of the free has little to offer me 

And got me often thinking about offing me 

I wake up in the morning and I ask myself 

Is life worth living, should I blast myself 

I'm tired of being broke and even worse 

The upper class acts like they don't want me on this Earth 

This life will drive you crazy 

Only if you allow it 

That's only if you a coward and you're sure to get devoured 

To no avail, tuck your tail, and all you do is give them power 

Who's gonna take a stand, who's gonna be a man 

Who do you work for, please help me understand 

You could be the victor in a situation 

We may die individually, but as a nation 

We'll rise, nigga, change lives, nigga 

Break ties from the everyday lies, nigga 

It's our time, until it's our time 

[Hook] 

[Verse 3: Punch] 

Pardon my immortality 

I'm Martin Luther shooting back on the balcony 

Escaping the Lorraine until they call in the cavalry 

Alpha 184, oh Lord, nobody blast for me 

If it takes me to be a martyr to push the envelope farther 

Nigga show me to the slaughter 

I gladly sacrifice what is percieved 

Sow my seed, so my seed can live its dreams 

My spittin' image, see my stitching in his genes 

According to my likeness, his breath of life is priceless 

My enlightenment's the ancient Chaldeans 

Penetratin' America's culture, to its very being 

It's not political though, it's more critical 

Spiritual warfare, you can murder me in the physical 

But I advise y'all to keep me alive 

In the event of my demise, I'll be bigger than life 

Beautiful death, nigga 

[Bridge: Ab-Soul] 

Tragedy after tragedy, I know it's sad to see 

America killing her babies like Casey Anthony 

We try, we try to cope and hold on to our sanity 

Popping ecstasy will surely shorten life expectancy 

We travel the seven seas in hopes for a little peace 

We promised pie in the sky, I'm dyin' to get a piece 

Put down your piece, I'm wish you all a beautiful death 

Peace
