Born to Die

Lord am I ...Born to Die
Must my tremblin' spirit fly
Am I born to die to lay this body down.

Why am I here, why are things unclear
Why can I not go through life without at least one fear
Each step I take is a challenge, a lesson destined for passage
Some sort of test I'll never pass even though I am the answer
Satan is the life preserver in this ocean of death
My ego is titanic, my faith are rolls on the deck
Jump in the icy cold abyss without a hug or a kiss
Just the empty promises, that's if that slug don't miss

I know I got to go to judgement but that's no need to fear
Well I know I got to go to judgement 'cause I cannot stay down here
Tell me Lord now ---- am I ...Born to Die
Must my tremblin' spirit fly
Am I born to die to lay this body down.

Lay me down, cover me with worms
Smother me with the stress that I have purposely earned
Let my soul fly, as my momma cries
Then the pearly gates are locked and I wish
that I could pick 'em, that ain't righteous
but I might just, pray to Jesus, I'm hoping he's tuned in
I'm on his porch with a bag of luggage hopin' he'll let me move in
See I'm a bad one but I'm still his son though
I'm at his front door, Carry your sins by the window

Well I heard the voice of Jesus Say
to come on (come on) to me and lay down
you're born to lie down now,
you gotta lie down now, to lay this body down
O Lordy now ---- am I ...Born to Die
Must my tremblin' spirit fly
Am I born to die to lay this body down.

Life is a blessing once we seize from conception
our souls become stronger from the stress that we mention
The windows of redemption are strictly for protection
When we are stuck in life's traffic is like a soul prophylactic
Beginning to fade away, lord take my pain away
Lived this life the best that could clean up the mess that I should
Even though we're born to die please keep that thought alive
I never fought with pride, I just tossed it aside
God, please let them angels come, bring me to the podium
I'm ready for my judgement, I'm just a human interrupted
Your words I always trusted but my lust kept me flustered
Hot doggin' in these streets, to be frank, I tried to muster
Bust up my faith just a touch but I lost it quick
And got a ticket, the dark side so I switched
same song, different pitch,
I pray that I'm found before they lay, bop bop, me down

Come on you friends and neighbors, you know you're born to die
explore your situation now because the judgement day draws nigh
Glory Hallelujia ---- am I ...Born to Die
Must my tremblin' spirit fly
Am I born to die to lay this body down,
to lay this body down, to lay this body down, to lay this body down
