By D12

[Intro]
                                             Dawg....I shouldn't have left, They wouldn't have tried this shit if I was wit ya
                                             Maybe we would have picked another time
                                             Or chose anotha way
                                             Or maybe my prayers would have convinced him to choose another soul
                                             Shit, its just me and my man toni now
                                             Man you look so peaceful now...how can I argue wit that
                                             They say...
                                             
                                             [Chorus]
                                             They say the good die young,
                                             Thats why I think that you should have fun (when your young)
                                             Cos time won't wait for noone (uh huh)
                                             When god calls, you gotta go home (go home)
                                             
                                             They say the good die young, (die young)
                                             Thats why I know that we go' have fun,
                                             In this life cos you only get one
                                             When god comes for me, don't cry, I just went home
                                             
                                             [Kon Artis]
                                             Its true that everybody heard, there mama say every days like this
                                             When you see, one of your friends die in the mist
                                             In the struggle, went through circumstances
                                             a risk that they take just to prove a point to a friend
                                             Even then, accidents are prone to happen to any man
                                             A woman is dumb enough to pretend
                                             That her, god won't hold them accountable for sins
                                             If they commit, they try to repent their sins to repent.
                                             But I guess (thats just the way things go)
                                             I was blessed to see 24 (24)
                                             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
                                             An mom and daddy want to move our road
                                             I did it, I still got a lot to prove and show
                                             I just which we aint have to lose Bugz to the struggle
                                             Cos you know...

                                             [Kuniva]
                                             I came back on that tragic, my phone rung
                                             And Bizarres voice tellin me, Bugz was gone home
                                             It was like a knife piercing my chest and I couldn't breath
                                             I didn't wanna accept it, didn't wanna believe it
                                             I swear with this weight dawg, I cried so hard
                                             Literally, Denaun had to carry me to the car
                                             While I stand in this booth now its tearin me apart
                                             But I had to let it out cos it was tearin at my heart
                                             Cos he died over somethin so petty and so small
                                             A human life is so very precious I hope ya'll
                                             Understand how I'm feelin cos I love you bugz
                                             I wanna rhyme wit you, laugh wit you, hug you bugz
                                             But I can't and you was so close to seein dreams
                                             A coward came along and took you away from the team
                                             So don't mistake this track, its just another song
                                             This goes out to everyone who lost a loved one
                                             Cos you know...

                                             They say its 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 to run blocks
                                             Now my dreams are just dream cops and gun shots
                                             The fun stops when your homies up in a box
                                             My dudey bole, rest his soul, snuffed by the cops
                                             I use to ?? a lot, if theres a guy by me say somethin
                                             If you love her so much why didn't u gave nothin
                                             When he took my homie, snuck was only in 11th grade
                                             Now I hope to see your face at the heaven gates
                                             It aint never late in the game, this hatin remains
                                             with a grudge to see slugs straight through my frame
                                             My heart aches with the pain, the life in his breath
                                             We gotta have fun now, theres only minutes left

                                             And Im surprised by the look of that ride that the other peeps survived
                                             Nine months later another one died
                                             Somebody shot him in the side when he was startin up his ride
                                             3 years go by, I made a hell of a run
                                             And thats when funky got done, a joey playin wit guns
