50 Cent - The Good Die Young (Lyrics)

Yo, you know what I want?

I want the beat to drop in, right, like, now

Niggas be thinkin' I'm crazy right? Yeah, you are crazy

I ain't crazy – you are crazy – at least I don't think I'm crazy

I think my shit is hot, I think I'm hot you hot, but you crazy

Why they wanna? I don't know


It's the money that makes shit get ugly

It's the money that makes these hoes love me

It's the money that makes niggas wanna slug me

Man, I thought the money would make it all lovely

Yo, I actually write what I do and see

The felonies from day to day make me say what I say

When I die my art will be worth as much as Picasso's

Don't cry for me, smile for me

And if you see them niggas who wet me wile' for me

Remember the good times, the chips we stacked, the clips we packed

And all the bricks we cooked from coke to crack

Let my tombstone read "I Tried" and from the start

Everything I wrote was from my heart

So it's always gon' be number one on my chart

I get sensitive with my shit, don't fuck with my art

Sometimes it sounds like I'm playing, but I'm sayin'

This shit is real, it ain't a game


They say the good die young

I guess these grimy niggas live a long time

Sit in fancy whips, sip champagne and shine

Keep your eyes on yours while I keep my eyes on mine

They say the good die young

I guess these grimy niggas live a long time

Sit in fancy whips, sip champagne and shine

Keep your eyes on yours while I keep my eyes on mine


First it happened to Stretch then to Pac and Big

I'm convinced it can happen to anybody, kid

So I get vest up when I get dressed up

In the hood it's messed up, niggas running 'round shooting shit up

If it's Dom that you drinking fill up my cup

If you gossiping about me shut the fuck up

Why do niggas act like they hard when they know they butt?

When getting robbed ain't a good time to press ya luck

Duke listen, if you move I'mma hurt you

You'll get your turn to shine later, patience is a virtue

Right now what you need to do is give me the cash

Forget about your boss being mad, just save ya ass

Be a good boy now, go and get your stash

I seen you throw it next to the garbage can like it was trash

Alright, run along before I shoot ya ass

I hate to do this to you, but I really need this cash


They say the good die young

I guess these grimy niggas live a long time

Sit in fancy whips, sip champagne and shine

Keep your eyes on yours while I keep my eyes on mine

They say the good die young

I guess these grimy niggas live a long time

Sit in fancy whips, sip champagne and shine

Keep your eyes on yours while I keep my eyes on mine


I know we all gonna go, but I'd hate to go fast

Then again I don't think it'd be fun to stick around and go last

Man listen, if you really really like this shit

Nigga, call Steve Stoute and I'll write ya shit

Call him now before I drop for real cause after I drop

I'mma be chargin' ya'll niggas like forty a pop

To each his own. Me? I'd get it while it was cheap

Typical mentality, I know, I'm straight from the street

1999's the year of the predator, I'm killing to eat

Niggas'll treat you like a egg, when you come to cop you get beat

Give me your dough, oh, you wore your jewels? What a treat

You're a generous guy, take 'em off or die

Man, we hurting 'round here, ain't nobody slinging pies

Look around, ain't nobody 'round here fly

Why you 'round here with this shit anyway? Huh? You high?

See, you done made the wrong move, kiss your ass goodbye


They say the good die young

I guess these grimy niggas live a long time

Sit in fancy whips, sip champagne and shine

Keep your eyes on yours while I keep my eyes on mine

They say the good die young

I guess these grimy niggas live a long time

Sit in fancy whips, sip champagne and shine

Keep your eyes on yours while I keep my eyes on mine


They say the good die young

I guess these grimy niggas live a long time

Sit in fancy whips, sip champagne and shine

Keep your eyes on yours while I keep my eyes on mine

They say the good die young

I guess these grimy niggas live a long time

Sit in fancy whips, sip champagne and shine

Keep your eyes on yours while I keep my eyes on mine
