Good Die Young

Dawg, I shouldn't have left
 They wouldn't've tried this shit if I was with you
 Maybe we would have picked another time
 Or maybe chose another way
 Or maybe my prayers would have convinced him to choose another soul
 Shit, it's just me and my man Tony now
 Man, you look so peaceful right now
 How can I argue with that?
 They say 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 (uh)
 In this life, 'cause you only get one
 When God call for me, don't cry, I just went home (yeah)
 I'm sure that everybody heard their momma say there'd be days like this
 When you see, one of your friends die in the midst
 In the struggle, into the circumstances
 A risk that they take, just to prove a point to a friend
 Even then, accidents are prone to happen
 To any man or woman that's dumb enough to pretend
 And huh, God will hold them accountable for sins
 That they commit, and they try to repent the sins to repent
 But I guess that's the way things go
 I was blessed to see 24
 To wake up to that "Hi, My Name Is" video
 Motivated me to write what I wrote
 And I knew my little brother sold dope (oh yeah)
 And mom and daddy wanted to move our row
 I did it, I still got a lot to prove and show
 I just wish we ain't have to lose Bugz to the struggle
 'Cause you know
 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 (uh)
 In this life, 'cause you only get one
 When God call for me don't cry, I just went home
 I know you used to Bizarre on some silly shit
 But niggas in my clique is dying quick (for real)
 In Detroit, niggas don't party
 They pull a fo'-fo' out, snatch off yo, Carti's
 That's why I keep the pistol under the truck
 I'm 27 years old, too old to be getting jumped
 And fuck rap, I miss Karnail Pitts
 B-U-G-Z, tatted on my wrist
 Me and you in the Jeep, listen to screamo beats
 It's a shame me and Fuzz don't even speak
 I got married, my wife name is Dee
 Peace to 31, and 5150 I miss you
 I think back on that tragic day, my phone rung
 And Bizarre's voice telling me Bugz was going home
 It was like a knife piercing my chest and I couldn't breathe
 I didn't wanna accept it, didn't wanna believe it
 I swear, at his wake, dawg I cried so hard
 Literally, Denaun had to carry me to the car
 While I stand in this booth now, it's tearing me apart
 But I had to let it out 'cause it was tearing at my heart
 'Cause he died over something so petty and so small
 A human life is so very precious, I hope y'all
 Understand how I'm feeling 'cause I love you Bugz
 I wanna rhyme with you, laugh with you, hug you Bugz
 But I can't, and you were so close to see your dreams
 A coward came along and took you away from the team
 So don't mistake this track as just another song
 This goes out to everyone who lost a loved one
 'Cause you know
 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 (uh)
 In this life, 'cause you only get one
 When God call for me don't cry, I just went home
 They say it's never too late to have an early childhood
 If I could turn back the hands of time, God should
 Forgive what I did as a kid that run blocks
 Now my dream is just screams, cops and gunshots
 The fun stops when your homie's up in the box
 My doody Bo, bless his soul, snuffed by the cops
 I used to question a lot, if there's a God around me say something
 If you love us so much, why ain't you gave nothing?
 When he took my homie, Snook was only in eleventh grade
 Now I hope to see his face at the Heaven gates
 It ain't never late in the game, Satan remains
 With a grudge to see slugs break through my frames
 My heart aches with the pain, and life limits breath
 We gotta have fun now, there's only minutes left
 And in death 'cause stress youngins is sucked in
 To get tats for my fallen homies? I ain't got enough skin
 Miss y'all!

 When God called for me don't cry, I just went home
 When I was younger, I knew four brothers that wasn't wise
 That crashed and the driver died
 My partner on the passenger side was paralyzed
 And I'm surprised by the look of that ride, that the other two survived
 Nine months later, another one dies
 Somebody shot him in his side when he was starting up his ride
 Three years go by, I made a hell of a run
 And that's when Funky got done, Joey playing with guns
 And Tookie over funds, Cardie was my man
 And Reggie, I wish that I was with you in that van
 And Bugz, if it wasn't for you
 You know I wouldn't be standing in this booth
 And that's the truth, I miss y'all
