[I got questions]
Lemme break down and cry
[He’s got answers]
Don’t wanna leave, but I’m born to die
[I got questions]
Searching for the reasons why
[He’s got answers]
God do you have yourself an alibi?
[I got questions]
Lemme break down and cry
[He’s got answers]
Don’t wanna leave, but I’m born to die
[I got questions]
Searching for the reasons why
[He’s got answers]
God do you have yourself an alibi?
I got Jesus in my soul
Why am I growing old?
DNA, solid gold
Let the truth be unfold
I behold, I was told
Hell’s hot, Heavens cold
I’m the lion, you’re the fold
In God I trust, God I’m sold
These questions, I unfold
Believe half of what you’re told
Hope you lived a good life
And that you reach your goals
But aren’t we born to die?
Isn’t that the way it goes?
If I lose my body
Do I also lose my soul?
Would It be really clever
If God made us live forever?
Would that make you feel better?
Wouldn’t that make you feel better?
Yeah, God’s out there somewhere
Thanks for bringing me here
Yet why do we die, we get old
You make us disappear
[I got questions]

[I got questions]
Stretch marks all overHead balder, hair greyer
Ageists talking behind me
Think I’m not hearing what they’re saying
Skin, wrinkles, lines
I’ve seen so many prime ministers
Many friends of mine dying
How many wars, how many funerals?
My hearing’s kind lame
My memory’s not the same
My voice and cardi weaker
And I’m walking with a cane
Doctor says, no sprinting
Muscles aching, body shrinking
My life is such an adventure?
I’m here rapping with a denture!

[I got questions]
Prescriptions, I am taking
Having trouble with this weight thing
Too much TV, I am watching
My cremation, negotiating
Eyesight deteriorating
And I’m really scared of dying
Show me a sign, make me believE
Cause I’m not ready to leave
When People getting older
Lose their mother and their father
But they have son and daughter
They knew time was getting shorter
They pressuring me to retire
Young people they will hire
When things get really dire
Please, let my life expire
[I got questions]
Lemme break down and cry

God do you have yourself an alibi?
[I got questions]
I can’t seem to picture myself
Not here on this planet earth
Close my eyes and I try
That ish just don’t seem to work
Go ahead close your eyes
Try and imagine that your dead…
Would It be really clever
If God made us live forever?
Would that make you feel better?
Wouldn’t that make you feel better?
Would It be really clever
If God made us live forever?
Would that make you feel better?
