Lyrics One Life - The Last Emperor
1933
shortly
before
thanksgiving
I
got
the
call
she
said
Jamal
Derek
is
no
longer
living
Softly
she
spoke
is
this
a
joke
man
you
got
to
be
kidding
As
my
question
was
raised
this
explanation
was
given
A
meaningless
death
Made
me
question
the
meaning
of
life
Does
my
body
remain
at
rest
like
when
im
sleeping
at
night?
Will
I
burn
in
eternal
hell
or
will
I
find
paradise?
Be
rejected
or
resurrected
like
the
body
of
Christ?
Is
it
like
purgatory
the
story
described
by
the
Catholics?
Or
Nirvana
sought
in
both
theory
and
practice?
Like
i
studied
in
my
college
philosophy
classes
Or
do
my
molecules
and
atoms
travel
back
to
the
gases?
I
mean
what
I′d
like
to
know
is
where's
my
spirit
go?
After
the
curtains
close
or
my
final
show
Is
the
a
pain
it
brings?
Enjoy
my
favorite
things?
Visit
ancient
kings?
Hear
the
angels
sing?
Who′ll
answer
these
said
the
great
MCs
My
man
Gibble's
is
battling
a
debilitating
disease
He
said
you
see
a
brother
like
me
is
willing
to
fight
And
every
time
i
question
death
my
only
answer
is
life
One
life
And
my
God
you
set
me
free
Am
i
living
in
this
moment?
Am
i
living
righteously?
It
gets
hard
But
i
know
i
got
to
keep
on
Im
trying
so
hard
to
be
strong
Paralyzed
on
the
bathroom
floor
by
pain
Last
month
I
endured,
but
now
I
can't
ignore
Feels
like
railroad
spikes
being
stuck
in
my
liver
Am
I
dying?
Eyes
crying
body
starting
to
shiver
Crawl
upstairs
from
the
basement
calling
my
sister
(Sniff)
Dawn
help
me
I
ain′t
feeling
too
healthy
Stomach
walls
burning
head
spinning
and
turning
Waiting
for
the
EMS;
3:10
in
the
morning
Rush
me
to
the
emergency
screaming
like
a
newborn
The
pain′s
too
strong
maybe
my
soul's
trying
to
move
on
They
hook
me
to
the
I.V.
put
me
through
some
X-Rays
Gave
me
Demerol
to
kill
the
pain
that
was
the
next
phase
Early
the
next
day
in
the
hospital
room
Moms
and
pops
in
the
room
three
or
four
docs′
in
the
room
Test
results
suggest
your
colon
and
your
liver
Is
so
cancerous
you
got
three
months
left
Me
and
Death
is
playing
chess
ever
since
then
My
strength
is
the
most
high
my
fam'
and
close
friends
The
Last
Emp
and
Set
Free
blessed
me
with
a
verse
Staying
healthy
comes
first
Look
at
me
things
could
be
worst
One
life,
yeah
And
my
God
will
set
me
free
Am
I
living
in
this
moment
Am
I
living
righteously
It
gets
hard
But
I
know
I
got
to
keep
on
I′m
trying
so
hard
to
be
strong
One
life,
yeah
And
my
God
will
set
me
free
Am
I
living
in
this
moment
Am
I
living
righteously
It
gets
hard
But
I
know
I
got
to
keep
on
I'm
trying
so
hard
to
be
strong
