I've thought about this a lot too, and I think you might be right because that's not the only death-related line to get cut from a song. If you remember, Pop Your Balloon used to have a different line from MCA as well. Where he says "I'm eatin' MCs up by the dozen for breakfast" he used to say "I never sleep cuz it's the cousin of death."

Who really knows, but that's always why I assumed those lines were changed. If that is the case, it makes the whole thing that much more sad, but hey, that's life I guess.
