While he was alive, XXXTentacion spoke often about death. Much of his music centred on the inevitability of his demise as he seemingly predicted he would be gone soon. We've heard a good chunk of his music and while some of it sounds unfinished, it's still nice to hear what he was working on prior to his murder. He clearly had a lot of music in the vault because now, he's popping up for a few posthumous features. X was a special guest on the Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse soundtrack as he guested on a song by Lil Wayne and Ty Dolla $ign. His fans have started to point out how eerie some of his lyrics are in "Scared of the Dark," especially considering it was released after his death.
In the song, XXXTentacion raps, "If only you count the tears I've cried/ A million times, I swear I've died." A few of his verses have referred to death but this particular reference is turning heads. Lil Wayne also speaks about death as he notes that he's not afraid of his demise.
According to Genius, X's vocals were repurposed from his scrapped feature on Bhad Bhabie's "Trust Me." Another portion of his verse is from an unreleased song that is yet to be identified. What do you think of the track?
