Sometimes I look in a mirror and ask myself
Am I really scared of passing away,

from Kendrick Lamar – Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst Lyrics on Rap Genius

Recalls Tupac’s sentiment from “Changes” Kendrick is just in deep thought about death because he’s sees it around him daily.

“A coward dies a thousand deaths; a soldier dies but once."
-Tupac Amaru Shakur

Interesting Fact:
2Pac actually paraphrased this from the Shakespeare play, Julius Caesar… in the play, Caesar says,

“Cowards die many times before their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but once”
