Explicit
Alive with something
Dead with nothing
I have gotten everything alive
Now six feet and with nothing
I left no grain in the field
Now I want to kill a mockingbird
Your pig is fat and you made it
Celebrate me alive not dead
I have got a billion dollar
Ever rich,building mansions
A million mortality per year
Died for starvation
I saw the miser
Dead or alive but dead
His money can not save him
No one remembers him
I have got a pledge to myself
Never to eat alone
Yet to die alone
My name not on rocks but in hearts
I have never eaten a vulture
Yet am bald headed
Responsible for what I say
Since Dead or Alive, I say explicit
