Die Young
Die-ie-ie-ie-ie, woah
Would you miss me?
If we die-ie-ie-ie-ie
All of my niggas they came with the choppers
Probably die as a young nigga
Codeine all up in the pineapple Fanta
Probably die as a young nigga, ayy
I'ma be a legend when I go
If I die-ie-ie-ie-ie
All of my niggas they came with the choppers
Probably die as a young nigga
Codeine all up in the pineapple Fanta
Probably die as a young nigga
Keep your eyes on me baby (buck, buck, buck)
Hear the gun shots sound, another black man down
'Nother innocent killed by the police, which side are you on?
All the violence is red and blue, oh
And the sons of a mother who never had a father
Tryna change up a boy to a man
Got love for you, mama don't cry, we gon' be alright
'Cause one man shouldn't hate on another man
Judge no one 'cause of the color skin, oh
Let's stop killing each other, it's genocide
And if I die before I wake
I just pray to God my soul to take, oh yeah
If my brother is ridin', then we ridin', livin' like a young nigga
If we die-ie-ie-ie-ie
All of my niggas they came with the choppers
Probably die as a young nigga
Codeine all up in the pineapple Fanta
Probably die as a young nigga, ayy
I'ma be a legend when I go
If I die-ie-ie-ie-ie
All of my niggas they came with the choppers
Probably die as a young nigga
Codeine all up in the pineapple Fanta
Probably die as a young nigga
Keep your eyes on me baby (buck, buck, buck)
In the projects it's made, so we don't progress
Experimental test, watch us kill each other
Film another homicide, they tape it, nobody make it
See, he goin' to kill the same lab rat he was raised with
Such and such, so and so, brother
They got right on top of each other
Too close, he got a new toast to shoot close
Gun go bang, talk your slang
Basics, soon the whole hood gon' have cases
See my neighbours, see my haters, see federal agents
Pharmacies ain't givin' out no medical favors
But we got scripts to codeine and oxycontin
Gettin' rich off that like ain't no other options
Autopsy, dissect 'em, they open him up
All they wanna see is if he had coke in his blood
'Cause the cops shot him, just 'cause he came from the rock bottom
Now you see his name in the body column, they bodied him, uh
If we die-ie-ie-ie-ie (oh, probably die)
All of my niggas they came with the choppers
Probably die as a young nigga
Codeine all up in the pineapple Fanta (probably die)
Probably die as a young nigga (ayy)
I'ma be a legend when I go
If I die-ie-ie-ie-ie (hey)
'Cause all of my niggas they came with the choppers
Probably die as a young nigga (we sippin' codeine)
Codeine all up in the pineapple Fanta
Probably die as a young nigga (hey)
Keep your eyes on me baby (buck, buck, buck)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
I'm living for my daughter (ooh, ooh)
'Cause my baby need a father (ooh, ooh)
Don't wanna die a young nigga, oh
You got my back, I'm rollin' with you
Holding me down 'cause it's what we do, do (ooh, ooh)
If we die-ie-ie-ie-ie (die-ie-ie-ie-ie)
All of my niggas they came with the choppers
Probably die as a young nigga (probably die as a young nigga)
Codeine all up in the pineapple Fanta (ayy)
Probably die as a young nigga
I'ma be a legend when I go
If I die-ie-ie-ie-ie (die-ie-ie-ie-ie)
All of my niggas they came with the choppers
Probably die as a young nigga
Codeine all up in the pineapple Fanta (ooh)
Probably die as a young nigga
Keep your eyes on me baby (buck, buck, buck)
