In this section, it's as if the cancer/death is actually addressing Bowie (Edit, may also be God?),

"I can’t answer why (I’m a Blackstar)
Just go with me (I’m not a Film star)
I’m-a take you home (I’m a Blackstar)
Take your passport and shoes (I’m not a Pop star)
And your sedatives, boo (I’m a Blackstar)
You’re a flash in the pan (I’m not a Marvel star)
I’m the great I am (I’m a Blackstar)"
