These is hard times we livin' in no doubt
|
Churches burnin', planes fallin' from the sky
|
Murder, the good die young
|
The good definitely die young
|
This is a lil' somethin'
|
To help you get through the day
|
If it could
|
|
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 can 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 them a choice
|
Cause who are we to say who lives and die
|
Breathes and stops
|
All this judgement 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 Bucanan 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 tragedies that we all need
|
Love in doses
|
In times like these we feel closest
|
The good die young
|
|
Does anybody have an answer why
|
It seems the good die young
|
Can anybody tell me why
|
Can anybody tell me why (2x)
|
|
Now in my world will it get worse
|
When I been trapped since birth
|
But I had to sleep in a hearse
|
Cause it was my bed first
|
My grands probably burnin'
|
Turnin' in they grave
|
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 stolen cars
|
Don't get no better
|
Don't get no weaker or no harder
|
I was raised in a rush without my moms
|
And my father
|
So tell me somethin
|
If I grab my gat and get the dumpin'
|
Would God get to lookin' at me funny
|
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
|
|
Which is worse first storms (?) and then Al
|
Pac and then Yak
|
Redrey (?) Brown
|
Coulda' sworn I seen ya face in a cloud
|
Family grievin' on your last breath
|
Close to the heart whether you know it or not
|
I swear the love won't stop
|
Jewel, that's 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
|
Mama blamin' the community for killin' her son
|
My cousin Darren wasn't scared of goin'
|
But never knowin' he was dyin' slower
|
I guess I see ya when I see ya soldier
|
|
Does anybody have an answer why
|
It seems the good die young
|
Can anybody tell me why
|
Can anybody tell me why
|
|
I know my life ain't promised
|
That's why the wise move in silence
|
Analyze these scandalous times
|
It's hard dogg but we manage
|
Schools turn to war zones
|
Even homes unsafe
|
Leavin' children to play caged and raised
|
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' opus (??)
|
That ain't the way to live
|
Tell me why
|
|
Days go past and as they pass
|
Time move quicker
|
No time for wastin'
|
Put your hustle down my young dealers
|
Cause the end is nearer
|
But at least that's what they tellin' me
|
Hell, all I know brothers
|
Ain't ridin' 4 3 felonys
|
It's time to plan, plot, and strategize
|
Capitolize, mobilize
|
We in the war y'all
|
It's for all y'all
|
My family to the ones that stabbed (?) me
|
Little bit mo' love is what's recommended
|
Yeah, and it's plain to see (plain to see)
|
The seeds from you and me
|
Gon' be the ones to lead us towards unity
|
That's if we treat them right
|
Man, teach them right
|
Raise your kids better than you was
|
And see what it does
|
But if you don't
|
Man, we sho' to be done
|
And We'll all see exactly why the good die young (he ain't lyin' man)
|
|
Does anybody have an answer why
|
It seems the good die young
|
Can anybody tell me why
|
Can anybody tell me why (2x)
