Grandma mom Dolly, Randy C Uncle J, Big Captain and Denise I celebrated ‘cause I made it from the past decade I'm here while so many others pa**ed away And I don't have to stay because my tracks are played Wherever people exist because my raps explain Human plight, human triumph and mastery Wherever humanity is there I have to be So when it's all said and done and I have to leave I'm resurrected through the epic of my tragedy Chorus: Epic tragedy A life that you're sad and glad to see I ask God, “is this what you have for me?” He replies, “it's a epic tragedy” See Epic tragedy A life that you're sad and glad to see I ask God, “is this what you have for me?” He replies, “it's a epic tragedy” See Epic tragedy A life that you're sad and glad to see I ask God, “is this what you have for me?” He replies, “it's a epic tragedy” See Epic tragedy A life that you're sad and glad to see I ask God, “is this what you have for me?” He replies, “it's a epic tragedy” See Epic tragedy A life that you're sad and glad to see I ask God, “is this what you have for me?” He replies, “it's a epic tragedy” See Epic tragedy A life that you're sad and glad to see I ask God, “is this what you have for me?” He replies, “it's a epic tragedy” See Epic tragedy A life that you're sad and glad to see I ask God, “is this what you have for me?” He replies, “it's a epic tragedy” See Epic tragedy A life that you're sad and glad to see I ask God, “is this what you have for me?” He replies, “it's a epic tragedy” See
