The Good Die Young

{Talk}

These is hard times we livin' in

Churches burnin, planes fallin from the sky

Murder, the good die young

The good definitely die young

This is a lil' somethin'

To help you get through the day

If you could

It was more than a tragedy

Emotions be grabbin' me

Plane fell from the sky

We tryin' to figure what happened

Burnin' churches, fearin' God

Who can be so cruel

We all ignorant to AIDS

Till it happens to you

Just be a man, make plans

Listen to your voice

A woman's tryin' to make decisions

We should leave them a choice

Cause who are we to say who lives and die

Breathes and stops

All this judgement on other lives

Needs to stop

What are we livin' for

Givin' more back than takin'

On my knees still waitin' for my own salvation

Now I feel abandoned

cause Pat Bucanan say I'm greedy

You can take my taxes, send me to war

But can't feed me

It's so easy to regret things

After they done

Babies catchin' murder cases

Scared to laugh in the sun

The tragedies that we all need

Love in doses

In times like these we feel closest

The good die young

Does anybody have an answer why

It seems the good die young

Can anybody tell me why

Can anybody tell me why (2x)

Now in my world will it get worse

When I been trapped since birth

But I had to sleep in a hearse

Cause it was my bed first

My grands probably burnin'

Turnin' in they grave

Some folks ain't even get to see a high age

But they did so I ain't afraid

And this money got me feelin like a star

And this murder got me

Feelin like my death ain't far

And the land (?) and stolen cars

Don't get no better

Don't get no weaker or no harder

I was raised in a rush without my moms

And my father

So tell me somethin

If I grab my gat and get the dumpin'

Would God get to lookin' at me funny

Rest in peace to my mother Aquillah Beale

Rest in peace to my father Salek Beale

Rest in peace to my grandparents

And thug in peace to my brother Seike

You know I love you

Witch world first storms (?) and then Al

Pac and then Yak

Redrey (?) Brown

Coulda' sworn I seen ya face in a cloud

Family grievin' on your last breath

Close to the heart whether you know it or not

I swear the love won't stop

Jewel, that's my boo

Mom, Duke and Lou

>From jump

You kept it true, helped to feed the crew

The good die young

Livin' fast jumpin' the gun

Mama blamin' the community for killin' her son

My cousin Darren wasn't scared of goin'

But never knowin' he was dyin' slower

I guess I see ya when I see ya soulja

Does anybody have an answer why

It seems the good die young

Can anybody tell me why

Can anybody tell me why

I know my life ain't promised

That's why the wise move in silence

Analize these scandalous times

It's hard dogg but we manage

Schools turn to war zones

Even homes unsafe

Leavin' children to play caged and raged

They hate, how come

Someone explain why the good die young

Why the bad die slow and outlive everyone

It's time somethin' is done

For our young kids

They growin' opus (??)

That ain't the way to live

Tell me why

Days go past and as they pass

Time move quicker

No time for wastin'

Put your hustle down my young dealers

Cause the end is nearer

But at least that's what they tellin' me

Hell, all I know brothers

Ain't ridin' 4 3 felonys

It's time to plan, plot, and strategize

Capitolize, mobilize

We in the war y'all

It's for all y'all

My family to the ones that stabbed (?) me

Little bit mo' love is what's recommended

Yeah, and it's plain to see

The seeds from you and me

Gon' be the ones to lead us towards unity

That's if we treat them right

Man, teach them right

Raise your kids better than you was

And see what it does

But if you don't

Man, we sho' to be done

We'll all see exactly why the good die young

Does anybody have an answer why

It seems the good die young

Can anybody tell me why

Can anybody tell me why (2x)

This is for all my homeboys that passed away

And all yo' homeboys that passed away

I send this out to all the fallen soldiers

That's in the cemetaries buried

Never got to see they dreams

For everything I touch you touch

For every step I take you take

For every breath I breather you breathe

Every dollar I make you make

I told you we'd make it to the sunshine one day

You just got there a little quicker

But like my homeboys Thugs say

I'll catch ya at the crossroads

The good die young

This song is dedicated to all them

Young kids and people that are innocent

That died young

At Columbine High

Rest in Peace (Oklahoma)

Outlawz

Lil' young Xzandafer

Tasha, all them

All the fallen kids

The dead babies

The closed caskets
