[Intro – Spoken low, gravelly drawl]
Nothin’ more creative than death, y’all…
Whole damn secret of life right there.
[Verse 1 – Rap flow, banjo/steel guitar riff]
Nothin’ more creative than death, brother
Cuts the rope, sets the fire, no other
Graveyard dirt where new songs are born
Old chains break when the reaper’s horn
Fear creepin’ up your spine like a cold wind
But ride that shiver, let the truth begin
Death ain’t the end, it’s the outlaw spark
Blows the cage wide open in the dark
[Chorus – Big southern rock hook, full band]
If you’re scared of dyin’, be scared, let it ride
Get with it, stare it down, no place to hide
Then the surprise hits hard like a shotgun blast
You don’t die, man—you were never cast
You forgot who you are, that’s the lie you bought
Death just reminds you what you already got
Nothin’ more creative than death, hear the call
It’s the whole secret of life, y’all
[Verse 2 – Faster rap, trap hi-hats + slide guitar]
Forgotten your roots, playin’ small in the game
Runnin’ from the reaper, chasin’ fame
But death walks in cool, tips his hat slow
Says “Boy, you the flame, now let that shit show”
No birth certificate for the real you
Just eternal fire burnin’ clean and true
Acceptance ain’t surrender, it’s the outlaw code
Face the black and watch the light explode
[Chorus]
If you’re scared of dyin’, be scared, let it ride
Get with it, stare it down, no place to hide
Then the surprise hits hard like a shotgun blast
You don’t die, man—you were never cast
You forgot who you are, that’s the lie you bought
Death just reminds you what you already got
Nothin’ more creative than death, hear the call
It’s the whole secret of life, y’all
[Outro – Slow fade, harmonica wail]
Death… the secret…
Whole damn life…
You were never born…
Just forgot….
