Analysis of I Came Here To Die
Didn't have a choice where I was born
It was up to my Mother and Father
Made a decision before my ashes fill an urn
I'm where I don't want to go farther
Doesn't matter where I grew up
My final years, I'll spend them right here
Whenever my heart decides to stop
I hope I'm not far away but near
