Omega

[00:00.10] I was only ten, it was a normal weekend
[00:03.53] Just a Saturday, towards the evening
[00:06.50] I'm sure I spent my time drawing or reading
[00:09.42] I recall my mom's in the corridor cleaning
[00:12.43] Dad and sister just got back from the food shop
[00:14.84] With a few bags full of fruit, a pan and a new wok
[00:18.24] They were laughing as my dad took his shoes off
[00:20.81] Then boom daddy collapsed, quit actin' a fool Pop
[00:23.86] Why is he not moving? Why has he stopped?
[00:26.48] What is he doing? C'mon, pop, you gotta get up!
[00:29.36] My mom's rolled him over, dad was foaming at the mouth
[00:32.49] My sister phoned the ambulance as I ran up out the house
[00:35.18] I gave a yell filled with rage and pain as well
[00:38.55] My fingers were aching from ringing on my neighbor's bell
[00:41.68] No one came when I called or prayed for help
[00:44.24] That's why I hate god, hate my neighbors, hate myself
[00:47.42] Hate the ambulance, lousy fools inside
[00:49.92] How can you revive a human life if it takes two hours to arrive?
[00:54.08] February '95, I recollect the very first fucking time that I met with death
[01:11.77] I was very deep in love with a queen, a fiend
[01:15.24] I wanted to stay stuck in a dream
[01:17.16] We'd make love on repeat, spend our days under the sheet
[01:20.25] Never leave the bed, unless we make something to eat
[01:23.44] Sweet, not a single fight, it all seemed alright
[01:26.40] Until our first evening, beef occurred and made us feel uptight
[01:29.66] We screamed, cried, didn't sleep all night
[01:31.71] Next morning shorty was coughing up blood and bleeding from her mosquito bites
[01:35.87] Hurry! We made our way to the doc'
[01:37.93] We made her take a blood test, the results gave him a shock
[01:41.18] Go straight to the hospital, we gazed at the clock
[01:43.91] Only they can save her now and say what she got
[01:47.04] Off we went to the oncology section, trying to focus
[01:50.12] Her arm had swollen so bad the sight was atrocious
[01:52.81] When we got the diagnosis, we both cried the notion, leukemia
[01:56.96] I found hard to hide my emotion
[01:58.76] I told her trust my devotion, to fight for your life's emotion
[02:02.15] We both frightened but with hope I know that we can find a potion
[02:05.31] If it's strong, our love will last long everyday I put plastic gloves and masks on
[02:10.37] Her room was a prison
[02:11.52] Body sickened by the food in addition
[02:13.59] To the chemo, transfusion, tons of tube in her system
[02:16.63] I witnessed the shriveling and losing hair
[02:18.93] Get too weak to speak and use her two feet, she had to use a chair
[02:23.17] She left no room to fear and never gave in to despair
[02:26.09] Today this crazy episode feels like an ancient souvenir
[02:29.41] We made it through the years, smelling roses everyday
[02:32.01] We'll never know when death will be back to take our breath away
[02:35.93] You're dying little by little
[02:38.12] You-you-you're dying little by little
[02:41.10] You-you-you're dying little by little
[02:44.49] You're dying little by little
[02:46.98]
[03:03.46] You're dying
[03:13.06] Li-little by little
[03:22.44] Li-li-l-l
[03:29.21] You're dying, dying
[03:35.47] You're dying little by little
[03:37.91] You-you-you're dying little by little
[03:40.62] You-you-you're dying little by little
[03:44.74] Y'all treat life like an alcoholic whore at the bar to scoop up
[03:49.04] Y'all abuse her and go through the Kama Sutra
[03:52.41] Karma's a puta, the coolest, calmest cougar
[03:55.25] Who can see through every one of your smart maneuvers?
[03:58.58] She can read the cards that you've got
[04:00.73] Have you tossed from a moving car or rooftop?
[04:03.66] Pray to Jesus, Allah, Buddha, may God give you luck
[04:07.35] Death is round the corner, it ain't hard to screw up
[04:10.59] All turn to dust, yet some of these fools trust
[04:13.32] They'll live until a hundred with a wonderful future
[04:16.17] I've watched youngens go, some didn't do much
[04:19.37] One kid got his skull crushed under a school bus
[04:22.36] "It's not fair," that's what they said, but death don't care
[04:25.66] One minute you're here, next you're in our prayer
[04:28.10] Play this at my funeral, it's kinda suitable
[04:30.47] Take off your ties and suits, spare me your goodbyes and toodaloos
[04:34.43] Time is moving, It's time to remind a few of you
[04:37.20] You next in line, quit treating life like a Rubik's cube and let me die
[04:41.27] Enjoy the sunshine, you stupid fools I envy y'all
[04:43.85] Remember y'all, life is beautiful
[04:47.62]
