We're All Gonna Die
Everlast feat. Cee-Lo Lyrics

We're all gonna die
Death is inevitable for every human being on this planet.

When I was a very young boy, mamma told me we all gonna die
From a very young age, the singer was taught about the harsh reality of death by his mother.

Mamma said son love can't be trusted, it's just another weakness
According to the singer's mother, love is a weakness and should not be trusted because it does not guarantee protection from death.

Baby don't cry, praise the most high, tell you no lie, We're all gonna die
The singer urges his audience, especially the young ones, to remain calm and accept the reality of death while acknowledging the power of a higher being.

Now I'm grown, seen a lot livin', made a few friends
Having lived long enough, the singer has gained a lot of experience and made acquaintances along the way.

Gonna get high, hoping I don't take more than I'm given
While acknowledging the reality of death, the singer still plans to enjoy life but hopes to do so in moderation to avoid dying earlier than intended.

Judgment day comin', we all gonna die
The singer believes in the concept of judgment day where every human will have to answer for their actions before their eventual death.

If my wings should fail me lord, meet me with another pair
The singer prays to a higher being for strength and protection when facing difficult times, especially when nearing death.

Young lady laughin', old woman cryin'
Life is unpredictable, and one minute you could be laughing, and the next minute, you are crying.

Leaving like a lamb, comin' back like a lion
Just like the saying, dying like a lamb (peacefully) and returning like a lion (with power and strength), life is unpredictable.

Babylon to Zion, we're all gonna die
Regardless of race, religion, and background, death is a reality for all human beings on this planet.

Praise the most high, we're all gonna die
While acknowledging the inevitability of death, the singer chooses to focus on praising a higher being.
