You're gonna need me, one day
Mmm, you're gonna want me back in your arms

This dance will be different and special, this dance will be memorable.
Talking about the Dilla Conspiracy about the hidden messages on the album Donuts, might this refer to gather up and dance like never before, to commemorate the moment before he passes and leaves his legacy? Fascinating, no?

Ice Cube as in ice cube, and Ice-T was in iced tea. Combined, they should make an album called lemonade, another drink which contains ice and can be a flavor of iced tea. Perfect wordplay <3 [melts into abyss of NoEmotion awesomeness]

Freemasonry is a fraternal organization that traces its origins to the local fraternities of stonemasons.
NoEmotion believes his cousins are foolish to join a historically racist organization
Most people have heard of the Masonic Order and conspiracy theories surrounding it, but I suspect most people are unaware of its racial dichotomy. For more information on racial separation in Freemasonry click here

When he was young, he was brilliant, artistic, and lively. Yet now he has NoEmotion. This is one of his GOAT lines (all of them are) and is amazing wordplay of his name.

His name is NoEmotion, so he doesn’t have emotion. Everyone is known to have emotions though, so you would assume he is lying if he told you he didn’t have any.

Repeated four times, along with the legendary Dilla scratching, “Is death real?” over the beginning of the track.
Here, it means that after all of this is completed, you’re gonna miss and/or need this person back someday. Is this person Dilla?
Is death real? He’s asking himself. One day (RIP Dilla) we’re gonna want him back (we already do) producing our tracks and continuing the evolution of Hip Hop in a positive way. Imagine Dilla producing beats for Kendrick, Em, Nas, Common, along w/ Kanye etc.
It really just sounds like “It’s that/dat real.” I feel that this album is not to be taken at face value and concerned w death/sickness/loss in a number of places. But some of y'all are squinting at it way too hard.
