"What about death when it's done come and gone?"

Now I lay me down to sleep before I go to bed

Redrum was the word that a nigga said

I'm dead, and once my mind bled all day

Better watch the word when the wicked man say

Simple and plain, I feel no pain

Rotten body in the ground wit' my maggot brain

The fallen angel fell all this wickedness for Heaven

I still, so now I go to Hell at seven

I can't wait to meet the Grim Reaper, creature, feature

Esham the UnHoly, Satan was my teacher

And find the preacher, I'm gonna kill him when I catch him

Put your body in the coffin and stretch'em, closed casket

[Chorus]

(Talking) And I dont wanna die with my eyes closed-(closed

casket)

I said I dont wanna die with my eyes closed-(closed cakset)

I don't really wanna feel no pain, I'm ill

I'd rather be dead, still

Lay me down, let my body rot from the buckshot to my knot

And Hell is gettin' hot, watch the hammer cock (boom!)

Now I lay me down to sleep

Watch the head of the Head hunter once I creep

Shit's deep, six feet deep infact

Bloody body in the coffin layin' on my back

Matter of fact, it's time to meet the Maker, the Undertaker

Sold my soul, as the story a told

Once again, it seems that I cannot win

And when I die, i'm goin' to Hell again, in a closed casket

[Chorus]

It seems I'm just headed for Hell, I hear screams, they call my

name

Symptoms of insanity, the voices, they're all the same

I'm dead, and nobody feels my pain

One bullet, one gun, one person to blame

No shame, I take aim at my head

Cock the hammer back and out soar a piece of lead

It was said, that i'm gonna die anyway

Atleast six feet deep I got some place to stay

Wit' the maggots, bury me alive and hush

Now I'm thinkin' 'bout ashes, dust to dust

If I must, say one thing

I bet they won't say they seeing me like the King

Elvis, closed casket

[Chorus]

"I've come to conclusion, look brothers, sisters,

I want an answer, there's a... the overworld, and the

underworld,

which world are you a part of?"
