[Verse 1] I was only ten, it was a normal weekend Just a Saturday, towards the evening I'm sure I spent my time drawing or reading I recall my mom's in the corridor cleaning Dad and sister just got back from the food shop With a few bags full of fruit, a pan and a new wok They were laughing as my dad took his shoes off Then boom daddy collapsed, quit actin' a fool pop Why is he not moving? Why has he stopped? What is he doing? C'mon pop you gotta get up! My mom's rolled him over, dad was foaming at the mouth My sister phoned the ambulance as I ran up out the house I gave a yell! Filled with rage and pain as well My finger's were aching from ringing on my neighbor's bell No one came when I called or prayed for help That's why I hate god, hate my neighbors, hate myself Hate the ambulance, lousy fools inside How can you revive a human life if it takes two hours to arrive? February '95 I recollect the very first fucking time that I met with death [2nd Verse] I was very deep in love with a queen, a fiend I wanted to stay stuck in a dream We'd make love on repeat, spend our days under the sheet Never leave the bed unless we make something to eat Sweet, not a single fight, it all seemed alright Until our first evening beef occurred and made us feel uptight We screamed, cried, didn't sleep all night Next morning shorty was coughing up blood and bleeding from her mosquito bites Hurry! We made our way to the doc We made her take a blood test, the results gave him a shock Go straight to the hospital we gazed at the clock Only they can save her now and say what she got Off we went to the oncology section trying to focus Her arm had swollen so bad the sight was atrocious When we got the diagnosis, we both cried the notion, leukemia I found hard to hide my emotion I told her trust my devotion, to fight for your life's emotion We both frightened but with hope I know that we can find a potion If it's strong, our love will last long everyday I put plastic gloves and masks on Her room was a prison Body sickened by the food in addition To the chemo, transfusion, tons of tube in her system I witnessed the shriveling and losing hair Get too weak to speak and use her two feet She had to use a chair
