I was using the geto boy's potential murder as a metaphor for our inevitable death. In Cormac McCarthy's The Road death takes on an extra heaviness because all of humanity is dying. The real terror is when you realize the conversations between the boy and the old man would be just as applicable even if the rest of humanity wasn't dying out as well. The point of the Geto Boys' quote is that accepting death is easier said than done. In the song, the narrator is insane and the person chasing him turns out to be himself.
