D12 - Good Die Young lyrics

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

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

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 midst
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 and 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
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

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 5150 I miss you

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
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

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 doody 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 frames
My heart aches with the pain
And life limit's breath
We got to have fun now
There's only minutes left
And in death 'cause stress
Youngins is sucked in
To get tats for my fallen homies?
I ain't got enough skin 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 'cause you only get one
When God call for me don't cry
I just went home

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

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
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
