Die Young

Lyrics

[Intro] Has anybody here, seen my old friend Abraham (Mr. Porter!) [Verse 1] Paramedics on the scene while the boy lays shot You can hear his mother scream for blocks Perimeters of yellow tape for the crime scene All you see is cops, asking yourself is it gon' stop Across town the same thing done happened A lil more tragic a drunk driver speeds through traffic Jumps the curve and hits a light pole and a ten speed On it is a little girl passing by This is madness why! Do we have to deal with the heart break And left with the memories of the soul god takes Out of the blue bad news hits you in ya chest Like a bare handed punch from Tyson can't rest easy Drowsy full of pain and my pillow is wet From mostly tears and minimum sweat Everyday is like a guess 'cause I don't know what to expect Which one of us is he gon' call next? [Chorus] Some stories will end before they even told Many will live long and pass when they old (A lot of people) A lot of people don't know but we all gotta go Just hope that you don't (Die young) But in the end yo' we all Die (Die), die (Die), die (Die), die (Die) Die (Die), die (Die), die (Die), die (Die) Die (Die), die (Die), die (Die) Just hope that you don't (Die young) Some stories will end before they even told Many will live long and pass when they old (A lot of people) A lot of people don't know but we all gotta go Just hope that you don't (Die young) But in the end yo' we all Die (Die), die (Die), die (Die), die (Die) Die (Die), die (Die), die (Die), die (Die) Die (Die), die (Die), die (Die) Just hope that you don't (Die young) [Verse 2] High school kids on the loose acting reckless Having raw sex unprotected Harsh lessons are learned outside your classrooms Aids sucks away life like vacuums it gets that cruel Little fella you should put away the gun Your journey has just begun Now you about to take somebodys son Theres so many young corpses lined up in morgues It's ridicules death is natural don't force it I wish I had more time to say the things I wanted to say To my boys who passed away You better be grateful for the ones you do have today Don't have regrets sitting at his wake The good always go to soon I can't stress it enough I think we don't count our blessings enough Take your life a little more serious And stop messing it up learn from it before your lesson is up [Chorus] Some stories will end before they even told Many will live long and pass when they old (A lot of people) A lot of people don't know but we all gotta go Just hope that you don't (Die young) But in the end yo' we all Die (Die), die (Die), die (Die), die (Die) Die (Die), die (Die), die (Die), die (Die) Die (Die), die (Die), die (Die) Just hope that you don't (Die young) Some stories will end before they even told Many will live long and pass when they old (A lot of people) A lot of people don't know but we all gotta go Just hope that you don't (Die young) But in the end yo' we all Die (Die), die (Die), die (Die), die (Die) Die (Die), die (Die), die (Die), die (Die) Die (Die), die (Die), die (Die) Just hope that you don't (Die young)
