The Good Die Young

[Tupac]

These are hard times we livin' in, churches burnin', planes fallin' from the sky

Murder, the good die young, (chuckle) the good definitely die young

This is just a little something to help you get through the day, if it could

[Tupac]

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 could 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 'em a choice

'Cause who are we to say who lives or dies, breathes or stops?

All these judgements 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 buchanan 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 tragedy is that we all need, love in doses

It's times like these, we feel closest, the good die young

[Yafeu fula]

Does anybody have an answer why

It seems the good die young?

Can anybody tell me why?

Can anybody tell me why?

[Tupac]

The good die young, it's times like these we feel closest

The good die young

Rest in peace, God bless the dead. Can we carry on?

The good die young, the good die young

Now we hear from the future, the next generation

[Napolean]

How in the world will it get worse? When I been trapped since birth

But I had to sleep in the hearse, 'cause it was my bed first

My grands probably burnin', turnin, in the graves

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

In the land of stardom and cars

Don't get better, don't get weaker, or no, harder

I was raised in the rush without my moms, and my, father

So tell me somethin', if I grab my gat and get to dumpin

Will God get to lookin' at me, funny? Ha

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

[Young noble]

Which is worse, fist storm and then al, pac and then yak

Reverend brown, could've swore I saw yo' face in the clouds

Family grievin' on yo' last breath

Close to the heart, whether you know it or not

I swear the love won't stop

Jewel, thats 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

Momma blamin' the community fo' killin' her son

My cousin' darin wasn't scared of goin'

But never knowin' he would die slower

I guess I'll see you when I see you soulja

[Yafeu fula]

Does anybody have an answer why

It seems the good die young?

Can anybody tell me why?

Can anybody tell me why?

[Kastro]

I know my life ain't promised, that's why the wise move in silence

Analyze these scandolous times, it's hard dawg but we manage

Schools turn to war zones, even homes unsafe

Leavin' children to play caged, and raged to 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' hopeless and that ain't the way to live

Tell me why

[E.D.I. amin]

Days goin' pass, and as they pass time moves with it

No time for wastin', put your hustle down my young dealers

'Cause the end is nearin', but at least thats what they, tellin' me

Hell all I know brutha's ain't ridin' fo' 3 felonies

It's time to plan, plot, stratagize, capatalize, mobelize

We in the war y'all, it's for all of y'all

My family, to the ones who stand me

Little bit mo' love is reccomended

And it's plain to see, the seeds from you and me

Goin' be the ones to lead us, towards unity

That's if we treat 'em right, man, teach 'em right

Raise yo' kids better than you was, and see what it does

But if you don't, man we'll surely be done

And we'll all see exactly why the good's dyin' young

[Yafeu fula]

Does anybody have an answer why

It seems the good die young?

Can anybody tell me why?

Can anybody tell me why?

[Tupac]

You ain't lyin' man, the good die young

The good die young, I send this out to all my homeboyz who passed away

And all yo' homeboyz who passed away

I send this out to all the folden, fallen, souljas that's in the cemeteries buried

Never got to see they dreams

For everything I touch, you touch, for every step I take, you take

For every breath I breathe, you breathe, every dollar I make you make (chuckle)

I told you we'd make it to the sunshine one day, you just got there a little quicker

But like my homeboyz, the (bone) thugs say, I'll catch you at the crossroads

The good die young. Oklahoma, little young xzanapher, latasha harlins

All the fallen kids, the dead babies, the closed caskets

[Napolean]

This song is dedicated to all them kids who died innocent and died young

At Columbine high, rest in peace, outlawz
