D12 | Lyrics | Good Die Young

Dawg, I shouldn't have left
They wouldn't have tried that s*** if I was witchu
Maybe we would've picked another time or, maybe chose another way
Or maybe my prayers would've convinced Him to choose another soul

S***, 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

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 Cuz, you only get one
When God call for me don't cry, I just went home

Yo, I'm sure that everybody heard they momma say it be days like this
When you see one of your friends die in the mist
In the struggle, into the circumstances
It's 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 it
Huh, God will hold 'em 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-fo'
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 through 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 Cuz, 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 s***
But niggaz in my clique is dyin' quick, for real
In Detroit, niggaz don't party
They pull a fo'-fo' out, snatch off Ducartis

That's why I keep the pistol under the truck
I'm 27 years old, too old to be gettin' jumped
And f*** rap, I miss Karnail Pitts
B-U-G-Z, tatted on my wrist

Me and you in the jeep, listen to [Incomprehensible] 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 b****

Yo, I think back on that tragic day my phone rung
And Bizarre's voice tellin' me Bugz was goin' home
It was like a knife piercin' 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 tearin' me apart
But I had to let it out 'cause it was tearin' at my heart

'Cause he died over somethin' so petty and so small
A human life is so very precious, I hope y'all
Understand how I'm feelin 'cause I love you Bugz
I wanna rhyme witchu, laugh witchu, 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 Cuz, 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 dreams is just scream, "Cops" and gunshots

The fun stops when your homie's up in the box
My duty Bo, rest assure, snuffed by the cops
I used to court s*** a lot, if there's a guy I'd probably say somethin'
If you love him so much why ain't you gave nothin'?

But he took my homie's slippers 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, the light limits breath
We gotta have fun now, there's only minutes left
And in death 'cause stress young'uns is sucked in
To get tats for my fallen homies, I ain't got enough skin, yes y'all

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 Cuz, you only get one
When God call for me don't cry, I just went home

When I was younger I knew fo' 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 startin' up his ride
Three years go by, I made a hell of a run
And that's when Funky got done, Joey playin' with guns

And Tookie over funds, Cardie was my man
And Reggie, I wish that I was witchu in that van
And Bugz, if it wasn't for you, you know I wouldn't
Be standin' in this booth, and that's the truth, I miss y'all

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 Cuz, you only get one
When God call for me don't cry, I just went home

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 Cuz, you only get one
When God call for me don't cry, I just went home
