Trey Knowles’ “I Face Death Every Day” is a powerful reflection on the dangers and delusions of modern life. It challenges us to examine what we consume—both mentally and physically—what we pursue, and why we willingly risk our well-being. Living under the spell of a corrupt system, the song questions whether this path aligns with any divine purpose.

00:00Let me spit this truth. I'll face death every day. I don't want your life. I want the life that God gave me. I don't want your wickedness. I want to live in righteousness. I don't want to live by your will. I want to live by the God's will.
00:30I'll face death every day. They say the white man has all the answers, including the earth, contaminating food, and giving you cancer. Drinking water and plastic. Everything around me is radioactive. Beef and pork and chicken combined is nasty. You eat it like it's candy. Soda popcorn man's liquor shop. I pay more for organic crop. Vacation for every dysfunction. You're really getting treated for nothing. Addictions I've taken away from life. Money don't seem right.
01:00In fact, nothing don't seem right. Bill after bill. You keep taking those pills. The rise of stock is going up. Easy kill. Population. Next COVID is going to be for real.
01:11White man says, you have the right to remain silent. He's always been a cowboy and into gun violence. You see how he killed the Indians.
01:19Let me spit this truth. Let me spit this truth. I'll face death every day. I don't want your life. I want the life that God gave me. I don't want your wickedness. I want to live in righteousness. I don't want to live by your will. I want to live by the God's will.
01:38I'll face death every day. 40 hours a week. You're a human being, not a machine. Buying things that have no value. Can it walk? Can it talk? Cost of living is your salary. Education is slavery. It's your college tuition. Greedy man pockets your admission. Doctors pockets your need for medication. No need for plantations.
02:03Bad food is cheaper. Good food is higher. You the buyer. Slave master is the supplier. Poison killer. Drug dealer. Slave master. Without a heavenly father, you a bastard. I face death every day. It's Christ that saves me. But it's myself that puts me into this slavery. I got to say no to this condition. And it's sinful misery. The vision of us is pictionary. The death we face is not even a dictionary.
02:31It's not normal. It's not of the ordinary. I face death every day. I don't want your life. I want the life that God gave me. I don't want your wickedness. I want to live in righteousness.
