5'11"

that's the height of a star
my role model was a rap star
though he's now deceased
places i'd love to trade
to understand how it feels
living in people's memories
there's a life after death
so i shouldn't be afraid of death
because once in my lifetime
i'd get to spend my time
in a place that's full of quiet
admiring my star's height.
