These lines originate from Welsh writer, Dylan Thomas’s famous villanelle, “Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night.” Specifically G-Eazy recites the second verse of the poem:
"Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night."
The poem’s creation surrounded Thomas’s father’s life, which was dwindling to an end by the time the poem was published in 1951. One year later, DJ died on December 6th, 1952, and Thomas himself died the following year on November 9th, 1953.
G-Eazy also released merchandise that read “Rage Against The Dying of The Light” on the back in reference to this song. This intro’s beat strongly resembles that of “Random”, the next track on the album.
