Well, well
Well, well
Heatmakerz, crack music
Well, the good die young
Maybe it's better
’Cause where I'm from
Oh, where I'm from
I’m still affiliated with fellas that's cautious
Lookin' at the news, man, we closer to hell than I thought
Reflectin' while I'm smokin' an L in my Porsche
Straight up out my pocket, man, I just posted bail in the car
I wish I could speak on my case
Not a good feelin' when police got the heat in your face
Minor setback, but we still gotta keep it always
Ridin' through my hood, it’s so much talent I seen that’s a waste
Without a platform, lookin' for an outlet
We was taught to get money and buy cars that ain’t out yet
If it was O-2, we was tryna get the O-3
My first ten Grants, I was tryna get an O-Z
Well, the good die young
Maybe it's better
'Cause where I'm from
Oh, where I’m from
Well, the good die young
Maybe it's better
'Cause where I'm from
We live forever, forever
I'm havin' thoughts of VA comin' back for you rats on the bus
Must have had an angel 'cause I shoulda been shackled and cuffed
Started catchin' feelin', feelin' love with the MAC when it bust
You ever hear the sound of all paper start cracklin' up?
The fire start to hit and the fee hid the cracks for a rush
Brothers killin' brothers so how could you ask me about trust?
Some of these things I'm havin' issues with
Forty-four bully with a beam with the pistol grip
Just to give you some pacifics
On what to tell the cops for ballistics
She left a bunch of kisses on my boxers with her liptstick
My cars from overseas, I buy my watches from the district of—
I'm a grown man, I'm my own man
Savage nigga and I swing iron like Conan
Have a bunch of ghost-face killas shoot at your whole clan
My man E caught a charge and now he tryna get a program
You pull up to the crib, you leave the keys with the doorman
It's just life, nigga
It's just life, nigga
It's just life, nigga
Well, the good die young
Maybe it's better
'Cause where I'm from
Oh, where I'm from
Well, the good die young
Maybe it's better
'Cause where I'm from
We live forever, forever
I pledge allegiance to the flag
Of the United States of America
And to the republic
For which it stands
One nation
Under God
Indivisible
With liberty and justice for all
