Rappers Will Die of Natural Causes Open Mike Eagle

[Hook]
They used to act all active and lawless
They used to live like bachelors balding
All actresses hit menopause and
Rappers will die of natural causes
They're gonna get hip fractures from falling
They're gonna need viagra and bypasses
They're gonna wait for their grandkids to call them
Rappers will die of natural causes

[Verse 1]
Hip hop's middle aged
The first rappers started young as Lil' Wayne
It's been three decades since the rhythm came
Original rappers are entering their brittle stage
The average black man's life span
Is like three fifths that of a white man
He never put five grand in a life plan
So he can't afford to fall cause he might land
In a clinic where the nurse is the night man
They're to sign in visitors and wipe ass
His record label never told him 'bout the flight plan
They shot videos on beaches with white sand
They say the game is for young guys
For the hungry, unshaved and the unsigned
They get a little bit of media sunshine
But they only see you how you were one time
And even now, rap is older than it's ever been
And young warriors develop into veterans
Pure phase with the gray hair peppered in
Setting reminders to take their medicine
