The Good Die Young - Album Version (Edited)
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
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
pas
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
This is for all my homeboys
that pased away
And all yo' homeboys that
pased 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
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
