[Hook:]
When the going gets tough
The tough gets going
The good die young
And everybody knows em
Life goes fast
Loadin faster than a modem
Pressure builds diamonds
& silence is golden
[verse 1: Mack the Shark]
The summer 2009
South of the naval shrine
20 and in his prime
Hoopin for education
But wiser than petty crime
Sharin a quarter mansion
Divided by 29-
So with he, that makes 30!
The shelter up in the sky
Thinking he made a friend before he had seen a disguise
He told stories of sickness
At times he almost died & as time, had went by
They left the mansion despite
His friends cash went dry
But this guy- his hearts big
So he kept him close to his side
Housing, food & a ride
Witnessed his hard times
Struggled with him through times
But why- he's just a guy like i
That caring eye who supplied- support & pride

When the going gets tough
The tough gets going
The good die young
And everybody knows em
Life goes fast
Loadin faster than a modem
Pressure builds diamonds
& silence is golden
[verse 2: Mack the Shark]
As if the world wasn't heavy enough
Theres more on his shoulders
That boy there is tough
His homie is colder
Buildin up an envy in his boisterous plan
They was more than roommates
Thats his right-hand-man
Supposed to have his n***as back
Til that black box slam
Mastermindin back stabbers to his homies & fam
He was supposed to be a friend
But stole the rent check man
Disappeared for 2 weeks ain't no trace of the man
1200 dollars flown up out the window
Snatched all the indo
He was 28 way older than a kid tho
Had a job but never paid child support for his kid tho
He'll tell you how to live tho
He ain't seen the wrong in the foul sh** he did tho
Blamed it on the meds til the homie got fed
Said i gave you house and lights-
And kept you place to lay your head
Now you dead, you dont f** wit n***as money
Thats cashin a check for d**h!
[Hook:]
When the going gets tough
The tough gets going
The good die young
And everybody knows em
Life goes fast
Loadin faster than a modem
Pressure builds diamonds
& silence is golden
