These some hard times we livin' in
Churches burnin, planes fallin from the sky
Murder, the good die young
The good definitely die young

This is a lil' something
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
Til it happens to you
Just be a man, make plans
Listen to yo 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 then takin'
On my knees still waitin' 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 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

VAL YOUNG
Does anybody have an answer why
(in times like these we feel closet)
It seems the good die young
(the good die young)
Can anybody tell me why
(rest in peace, God bless the dead)
Can anybody tell me why
(can we carry on, 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
(and now we here for the future)
Can anybody tell me why
(the next generation, tell me)

NAPOLEON
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

YOUNG NOBLE
Which is worse?
First Storm and then Al, Pac and then Yak
Gregory Brown coulda' sworn I seen ya face in a cloud
Family grievin' on yo last breath
Close to the heart wheather you know it or not
I swear the love won't stop
Jewel, that's my boo
Mom Duke and NEW
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 souljah

VAL YOUNG
Does anybody have an answer why
It seems the good die young
Can anybody tell me why

KASTRO
I know my life ain't promised
That's why the wise move in silence
Analize 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 out-live everyone
It's time somethin' is done
For our young kids
They growin' hopeless
And that ain't the way to live
Tell me why?

E.D.I
Days gone past and as they pass
Time move quicker, No time for wastin'
Put ya 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 yall
It's for all yall
My family to the ones who standing
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
We'll all see exactly why the good die young

VAL YOUNG
Does anybody have an answer why

I send this out to all my homeboyz that passed away
And all yo' homeboyz that passed away
I send this out to all the fallen soldiers
That's in the cemetaries buried
Never got to see they dreams
For everything I touch, you touch
For every step I take, you take
For every breath I breathe, you breathe
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 Thugs say
I'll catch ya at the crossroads
The good die young

YOUNG NOBLE
This song is dedicated to all them
Young kids that died innocent
That died young
At Columbine High
Rest in Peace (Oklahoma)
