Birthday - Blaze Ya Dead Homie, Insane Clown Posse

How bout a birthday?

Fuck another funeral

We’re only here to live one time, you know?

How bout a birthday?

Fuck another funeral

And how I live my life, they don’t control

How bout a birthday?

Fuck another funeral

We’re only here to live one time, you know?

How bout a birthday?

Fuck another funeral

'Til the day I die, you can label me a juggalo

My homeboy’s dead, he been gone 3 days

And now I’m with his family in a funeral parade

'Til the wake, split stories over chicken and biscuits

And I contemplate all the shit that he’s missin'

It’s fucked why folks die so young

I bet he had the chance to get my dry-cleaning done

Oh no here it comes, guess it’s time to get the soup

Instead of the cigars 'cause my homie’s wife is due

Here’s what’s true, there’s an obituary page

With no section devoted to new lives being made

Sad to say, easy to see when you look

The birth rates decline while the death rates off the hook

Bad news, so much fuckin' bad news

What the fuck is the matter with these sad fools?

Nobody cares what they buildin', just what they tearin' down

It’s hard time on your spine, it’s heavy on your mind to carry 'round

Tell me 'bout what’s coming, fuck what’s goin'

Drama we already knowin'

Bodies fallin', whistle blowin'

Show me what’s alive & growin'

Tell me about the trees reachin' the sunshine

Tell me about some soldiers coming home safe, just one time

Let somebody blind look around

Let the deaf hear a sound

How 'bout a hidden treasure found?

Spread some fuckin' pleasure round

How bout a birthday?

Fuck another funeral, BOO!

That’s like 2 in a row too, with more to go through

Show me some white clouds, beaches with seagulls in the sky

No more white gowns, gurneys

Somebody slow down, relieve some of this pressure

Let’s try to focus on some positivity

So much fresher

How 'bout it?

No more funerals, no more wakes

No more eulogies, give my birthdays

It’s time for first crawl, first tour, first walk

I don’t wanna see no homies outlined in chalk

This year is our years, we livin' without fear

But so many folks dying, that the future’s never clear

It’s cloudy & overcast with the past, it’s a reminder

There’s nowhere safe for you to hide 'cause death showed behind ya

And if this is God’s plan, then help me understand

'Cause I’m losin' my fade in a world in atom, man

How 'bout a birthday, not a funeral possession?

We’ll party 'til the lights go out, without question
