We Live, We Die
Ohio-born CK raps on a tender and sad anthem from the streets entitled "We Die," with a sentimental background beat consisting of piano, echoing drum tracks, and well executed vocal effects. "And we live, and we live, and we die, and we die, in these streets...in this life." CK looks back on the deaths he witnessed from a young age, family members and friends murdered in cold blood. He mentions the maddening psychological damage dealt to him from such systemic violence, reminding me of Eminem's epic track "Like Toy Soldiers."
