The Good Die Young by TRA1N Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Whether you listen or not
I see y’all clocking and watching
Either you're first
Or you're last
Cuz second place
It ain't an option
They wanna know
If what I'm spitting is conscious
Or just another
Young rapper out here talkin' nonsense
Every day I’m forced to hear music
I wish that someone would undo
I wanna chop it and toss it
Like I was practicing Kung Fu
It's one rule
The top dawg can be one dude
I'm bringing war for that spot
You would think I was Sun Tzu
I'm hungry as shit
And rap looking like a meal
I'm writing every single day
So I can get myself deal
My boys use to beat box
We'd be higher than tree tops
Wanted to be a rapper
'Fore the L.O.X
Turned to D-block
Flow I been had that
Scrolls in the nap sack
I don't spit fire
I handle lyrical hazmat
Whole crew can back that
Been down since the back pack
Jersey bred bully
My origin you can map that
(Chorus)
They telling me the good die young
But the way I see my life
I'm tryna life forever
And whenever day may come
I don't wanna look back
And say I coulda did better
Cuz we’ve been through the games
We survived all the pain
We don't ever wanna go back to living the same
They tellin me the good die young
Well y'all can have that
I love living my life
Every day like a bad ass
(Verse 2)
Feeling like Boosie
Big body like I'm Tookie
You wanna kill me on a track
You need more heat than Lil Uzi
Realize the future
Cuz that's where the truth be
And you can see I'm living in the zone
My whole team is in a 2-3
Taking snaps like a QB
With domestics in a hoopty
But I'm still living my life
Every day like a movie
And if you think I'm lying
You could prolly sue me
But I can't afford a lawyer
So I'm showing up to court with groupies
They drop me off in they coup
See the boys chuck a deuce
Middle fingers to the haters
Y'all can lick off the juice
Described as brollic or stocky
Wordsmith who ain't cocky
Wild stallion who ain't Italian
Work ethic resembles Rocky
Y'all been looking for a champ
Well now your searching is done
Lyrical role models
Biggie, Big L, and Big Pun
When I reside on the top
And all the critics is done
I just wanna live like the greatest
Pray not to die like I'm one
Uh
(Chorus)
They telling me the good die young (die young)
But the way I see my life
I'm tryna life forever
And whenever day may come (may come)
I don't wanna look back
And say I coulda did better
Cuz we’ve been through the games
We survived all the pain
We don't ever wanna go back to living the same
They tellin me the good die young, well y'all can have that
I love living my life every day like a bad ass
Whether you listen or not
I see y’all clocking and watching
Either you're first
Or you're last
Cuz second place
It ain't an option
They wanna know
If what I'm spitting is conscious
