[Hook: Kool G Rap]
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
Niggas✦ 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)
[Kool G Rap]
Yo it's a whole city✦ of animals✦
Cannibals, bloodthirsty niggas✦ 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 niggas✦ 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
Niggas✦ surrounded you, death wish granted✦ you, fan at you
Went to my hundred shot clip when they flip & throw a grand at you
Peel your shit 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
[Hook: Kool G Rap]
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
Niggas✦ 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)
[Kool G Rap]
You rock a hot bezel✦ and catch a popped✦ vessel✦
And shot vestibule; you got testicles
Beef bringing nigga✦ 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, scrape from the tea pot for residue
The foul slang liver(?)✦ page, reach for that shit on your waist
Every✦ killer✦ in the place get hit in the face
Turn around,✦ simmer✦ down nigga,✦ 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 niggas✦ that left with the Glock smokin✦
Came in with hot toast and left the whole spot soakin✦
Fuck y'all niggas✦ not knowin,✦ we make your seeds stop growin✦
Guerilla nigga,✦ 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
[Hook: Kool G Rap]
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
Niggas✦ 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)
