Why'd I Have to Die? - Insane Clown Posse

We are gathered here today

To mourn the loss of

A dearly departed

Hard-working

Wonderful soul

He leaves behind his three wonderful children

And his beautiful wife

His mighty, mighty beautiful wife

His voluptuous, curvy wife

I’m sitting here in the afterlife.

I see the pearly gates

I guess now I’m supposed to wait

I got wings;

I can fly around.

It’s all heavenly

I thought I’d live to be at least seventy

I got three daughters;

the oldest was only ten

And I’m supposed to fly?

What about them?

I left my wife behind to fend for herself

And I wasn’t even in poor health

I left my family to suffer, down there crying

While I’m in the beautiful afterlife, flying

I’m waiting in line to see God, and when I get to Him

I’ma ask him what the fuck was he doing

I was happy on earth;

I wanted to stay

I can’t do this to my wife.

I got so much to say

There wasn’t even a goodbye;

I just upped and jetted

Now they’re staring at my grave, my name embedded

Why’d I have to die?

(I wasn’t ready to)

Why’d I have to die?

(God, I’m asking you)

Why’d I have to die?

(This is bullshit!)

Why’d I have to die?

(What about my kids?)

Why’d I have to die?

(I was a young man)

Why’d I have to die?

(I don’t understand)

Why’d I have to die?

(I don’t want heaven!)

Why’d I have to die?

(No, this can’t happen!)

I was on my way home from a double shift

In my right pocket, I had my wife’s gift

It was her birthday.

Everything was all right

Until a drunk kid blew the light

All I remember is headlights approaching

Next thing I knew, on my own blood I’m choking

The car exploded, and I’m looking down on it

When they told my wife, she had to vomit

Now I’m flying through the clouds with all the angles

I think about it, someone I wanna strangle

I wanna live to see my children have their kids

I wanna hold them like my father did

Why was I cut out?

They say he has a plan

Well this is torture.

I don’t understand

How can I watch my family cry

And just fly through the sky at look at them like «Bye!»

Why’d I have to die?

(I wasn’t ready to)

Why’d I have to die?

(God, I’m asking you)

Why’d I have to die?

(This is bullshit!)

Why’d I have to die?

(What about my kids?)

Why’d I have to die?

(I was a young man)

Why’d I have to die?

(I don’t understand)

Why’d I have to die?

(I don’t want heaven!)

Why’d I have to die?

(No, this can’t happen!)

I’m up here watching my own funeral

My family’s dressed in black, so are my pals

Everybody’s crying.

The casket is shut

It’s gotta be;

I was blown the fuck up

I see a preacher I never knew acting somber

Hitting on my wife.

I can’t take this any longer

I see my parents.

My mother’s hysterical

I wish I could return, perform some kind of miracle

But all I can do is wait for them at the gates

And I will, no matter how long it takes

I hope it’s forever, and they live full lives

I wanna see my daughters grow and become wives

I’ll probably have to watch my wife remarry

'Cause I was taken so young and unfairly

What kind of plan is this?

Keep your wings

I don’t want anything that heaven brings!

Why’d I have to die?

(I wasn’t ready to)

Why’d I have to die?

(God, I’m asking you)

Why’d I have to die?

(This is bullshit!)

Why’d I have to die?

(What about my kids?)

Why’d I have to die?

(No, this can’t happen!)

Why’d I have to die?

Mmm.

A dead body is indeed a true delicacy
