Only the good soldiers die young
To stay alive up in these streets, you gotsta fly one
'Fore the flamers make you famous aimin' to ply one
***** is dyin' over pie crumbs, the live ones
(Only the good die young)

Only the good soldiers die young
Over chips they'll leave you drippin' witcha side numb
Come out the fort with your torches up and ride Dunn
No one survives with a shy gun inside slums
(Only the good die young)

The bullies are back
Gettin' the news that's tragic, feuds are graphic
Moves through the traffic
Break any rules you lose your attic
Who's in the habit of usin' the static

Make somethin' ooze out your cabbage
When dudes with ratchets, can pay your dues
Stools on the mattress, bruised and battered
Blown out your shoes and your fabrics
With Jakes searchin' for clues and maggots

My crew is savage, we carry no dead weight
Bet they hide you when I slide kid
All my tools is packaged, and lose you ***ots
Stay coppin' them jewels with karats, so who's the rabbit
Trix are for kids, in the buggy eye 6 on the strip

Strictly for big wigs, so tell me what this is
A ***** that's 'bout his biz, a ***** that don't forgive
A ***** that don't renege, a ***** that bust a cig, rupture your ribs
Front and I'll bring it to you 'xactly where you live
BGF surround the crib, throw a pound to the kid
Hit a fry when the good die young

Only the good soldiers die young
To stay alive up in these streets, you gotsta fly one
'Fore the flamers make you famous aimin' to ply one
***** is dyin' over pie crumbs, the live ones
(Only the good die young)

Only the good soldiers die young
Over chips they'll leave you drippin' witcha side numb
Come out the fort with your torches up and ride Dunn

Yo, it's a whole city of animals
Cannibals, bloodthirsty ***** that hammer you
And handle you, shots makin' you flammable
That's what an evil man's plan'll do
Vandal you, candle you, dismantle you

Leavin' your fam and crew, pan a few blocks
Bodies in camera view, for a grand or two
Land you on channel two, when ***** can't eat
That's what the fam'll do, leave you for the mantle
Examine you, for the van to come transfer you

Too late to bandage you, too much damage to you
The coroners know how to manage you
Down in they land they planted you
That's what the cannons do, forever branded you
Spare cannoned you, abandoned you, rock you to sleep

***** surrounded you, death wish granted you, fan at you
Went to my hundred shot clip when they flip and throw a grand at you
Peel your **** open like a can of brew, then they work
From the mandible, havin' you livin' where the salmon do
The good die young, redrum, who left to take a stand for you

Only the good soldiers die young
To stay alive up in these streets, you gotsta fly one
'Fore the flamers make you famous aimin' to ply one
***** is dyin' over pie crumbs, the live ones
(Only the good die young)

Only the good soldiers die young
Over chips they'll leave you drippin' witcha side numb
Come out the fort with your torches up and ride Dunn
No one survives with a shy gun inside slums

You ock a hot bet [unverified] and catch a popped vessel
And shot vestibule, you got *********, beef bring a *****
Get shot visible, rock with the best of you, then
It's back to the block, the blacktops we open up shop
And clock decimals, fake cops, sc**** from the teeth hot for residue

The foul slang liver [unverified] page, reach for that **** on your waist
Every killer in the place get hit in the face
Turn around, simmer down *****, get in the safe
What you fear when the shots is blowin' shed a tear for the one
That caught one under the ear inside of his top popped open

It's death for all ***** that left with the glock smokin'
Came in with hot toast and left the whole spot soakin'
***k y'all ***** not knowin', we make your seeds stop growin'
Guerilla *****, we keep rhymes flowin'
Bust a four pound, man down, found in the lot swollen
Drama brung, all inside the slum, the good die young

Only the good soldiers die young
To stay alive up in these streets, you gotsta fly one
'Fore the flamers make you famous aimin' to ply one
***** is dyin' over pie crumbs, the live ones
(Only the good die young)

Only the good soldiers die young
Over chips they'll leave you drippin' witcha side numb
Come out the fort with your torches up and ride Dunn
No one survives with a shy gun inside slums
