Lyrics Good Die Young Pt. 1 - Journalist 103

Good Die Young Pt. 1

His life was uncommon
He was a dreamer, believer, like Common
From the land of the down trodden
When them pills get to poppin'
Them thangs get to poppin'
Our life is a soap opera, the world watchin'
Typical outcome of the black male
Anticipatin' on meeting death or a jail cell
So we live life fast,
Movin' them fat bags, dimes and twenties
Beyond hungry, him and his sister starving
So he hustles to keep her up out of Starvin' Marvin’s
His last hope for living, so he does what he gotta
So she can have a life that’s worth living
It’s bone chilling, a Donald Goines sequel
From dope fiends, these amphetamines are mad lethal
So fuck it, here pump the diesel
Another youth gone, battling demons spawned
Death’s prequel
