Paroles de 'Good Die Young' par D12

[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...

[Hook - Kon Artis]

[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.
