Good Die Young
[Intro: Swifty McVay talking]Dawg, I shouldn't have LEFTThey wouldn't have TRIED that shit if I was witchuMaybe He would've, picked another time or maybe chose another wayOr maybe my prayers would've convinced Him to choose another soulShiiit, it's just me, mom and Tony nowMan, you look so peaceful right nowHow can I argue with that?They say that the good die young
[Hook: Kon Artis]They say that the good die young (die young)That's why I think that you should have fun (when you're young)Cause time won't wait for no one (uh-huh)When God calls, you gotta go home (go home)They say the good die young (die young)That's why I know that we gon' have fun (huh?)In this life Cuz, you only get oneWhen God call for me don't cry, I just went home
[Kon Artis]I'm sure that everybody heard their momma say it be days like thisWhen you see, one of your friends die in the mistIn the struggle, into the circumstancesA risk that they take, just to prove a point to a friendEven then, accidents are prone to happenTo any man or woman that's dumb enough to pretend itHuh, God will hold 'em accountable for sinsThat they commit and they try to repent the sins to repentBut I guess that's the way things goI was blessed to see twenty-fourTo wake up to that "Hi, My Name Is" videoMotivated me to write what I wroteAnd I knew my little brother sold dopeAnd mom and daddy wanted to move our rowI did it, I still got a lot to prove and showI just wish we ain't have to lose Bugz through the struggleCause you know
[Hook]
[Bizarre]I know you used to Bizarre on some silly shitBut niggas in my clique, is dying quick (for real)In Detriot, niggas don't partyThey pull a fo'-fo' out, snatch off yo carti'sThat's why I keep the pistol under the truckI'm 27 years old, too old to be getting jumpedAnd fuck rap, I miss Karnail PittsB-U-G-Z, tatted on my wristMe and you in the jeep, listen to scream-o beatsIt's a shame me and Fuzz don't even speakI got married, my wife name is DeePeace to 31, and 5150 i miss you
[Kuniva]I think back on that tragic day my phone rungAnd Bizarre's voice telling me Bugz was going homeIt was like a knife piercing my chest and I couldn't breatheI didn't wanna accept it, didn't wanna believe itI swear, at his wake dog I cried so hardLiterally, Denaun had to carry me to the carWhile I stand in this booth now, it's tearing me apartBut I had to let it out cause it was tearing at my heartCause he died over something so petty and so smallA human life is so very precious, I hope y'allUnderstand how I'm feeling cause I love you BugzI wanna rhyme with you, laugh with you, hug you BugzBut I can't, and you were so close to see your dreamsA coward came along and took you away from the teamSo don't mistake this track as just another songThis goes out to everyone who lost a loved oneCause you know
[Hook]
[Proof]They say it's never too late to have an early childhoodIf I could turn back the hands of time, God shouldForgive what I did as a kid that run blocksNow my dreams is just scream "Cops" and gunshotsThe fun stops when your homies up in the boxMy doody Bo, bless his soul, snuffed by the copsI used to question a lot, if there's a God around me say somethingIf you love us so much why ain't you gave nothing?When he took my homie Snook was only in eleventh gradeNow I hope to see his face at the Heaven gatesIt ain't never late in the game, Satan remainsWith a grudge to see slugs break through my frameMy heart aches with the pain, and life limits breathWe got to have fun now, there's only minutes leftAnd in death cause stress young'uns is sucked inTo get tats for my fallen homies, I ain't got enough skinMiss y'all!
[Hook]
[Swift]When I was younger I knew four brothers that wasn't wiseThat crashed and the driver died, my partner on the passenger side was paralyzedAnd I'm surprised by the look of that ride, that the other two survivedNine months later, another one diesSomebody shot him in his side when he was starting up his rideThree years go by, I made a hell of a runAnd that's when Funky got done, Joey playing with gunsAnd Tookie over funds, Cardie was my manAnd Reggie, I wish that I was with you in that vanAnd Bugz, if it wasn't for youYou know I wouldn't be standing in this boothAnd that's the truth, I miss y'all
