These are hard times we living in churches burning

Planes falling from the sky murder

The good die young

The good definatly die young

This is just a little something

To help you get through the day

If it could

It was more than a tragedy emotions be grabbing me

Plane fell from the sky we trying to figure what happened

Burning churches fearing 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 trying 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 living for giving more back than taking

On my knees still waiting 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 catching 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

Does anybody have an answer why

It seems the good die young

The good die young

Can anybody tell me why

Can anybody tell me why

Does anybody have an answer why

It seems the good die young

The good die young

Can anybody tell me why

Can anybody tell me why

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 burning turning 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 feeling like a star

And this murder got me feeling 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 something if I grab my gat and get to dumping

Will God get to looking 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

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

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

Family grieving on you 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 living fast jumping the gun

Momma blaming the community for killing her son

My cousing darin wasn't scared of going

But never knowing he would die slower

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

Does anybody have an answer why

An answer why

It seems the good die young

Can anybody tell me why

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 scandolous times

It's hard dawg but we manage

Schools turn to war zones even homes unsafe

Leaving 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 something is done for our young kids

They growing hopeless and that ain't the way to live

Tell me why

Days going pass and as they pass time moves with it

No time for wasting put your hustle down my young dealers

Cause the end is nearing

But at least that's what they telling me

Hell all I know brutha's ain't riding for three felonies

It's time to plan plot stratagize capatalize mobelize

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

My family to the ones who stand me

Little bit more love is reccomended

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

Going be the ones to lead us towards unity

That's if you treat 'em right man teach 'em right

Raise you 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 dying young

Does anybody have an answer why

It seems the good die young

Tell me why

Can anybody tell me why

Can anybody tell me why

Does anybody have an answer why

It seems the good die young

Die young

Can anybody tell me why

Can anybody tell me why

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 cemetaries buried

Never got to see they dreams

Can anybody tell me why

For everything I touch you touch

For every step

I take you take for every breath I breath you breath

Every dollar I make

You make

I told you we'd make it to the sunshine one day

You just got there a little quicker

But like my homeboyz the bonethugs say

I'll catch you at the crossroads

The good die young

This song is dedicated to all them

Young kids and people that are innocent

That died young at columbine high

Rest in peace oklahoma outlawz

Lil' young xzandafer tasha all them

All the fallen kids the dead babies
