Good Die Young

[Intro]

Dawg, I shouldn't have left...

They wouldn't have tried that shit if I was with you,

Maybe he would've picked another time or maybe chose another way,

Or maybe my prayers would've convinced him to choose another soul,

Shit, it's just me, mom and Tony now...

Man, you look so peaceful right now...

How 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 (uh)

In this life cause, you only get one

When God call for me don't cry, I just went home.

[Kon Artis]

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 mist

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

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 twenty-four

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

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...

[Bizarre]

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 51-50 I miss you.

[Kuniva]

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...

[Proof]

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 dreams is just screams, cops and gunshots

The fun stops when your homies up in the box

My dudey 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 frame

My heart aches with the pain, and life limits breath

We got to have fun now, there's only minutes left

And in death cause stress younguns is sucked in

To get tats for my fallen homies? I ain't got enough skin

Miss y'all!

[Swift]

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.
