I pour out a little liquor (Uh-huh) RIP to my n***as (Rest in peace) I pour out a little liquor Evil thoughts in your mind keep running through Not quite sure what you wanna do Like, what is this world coming to? Life goes on even if you don't want it to (Uh-huh) It's a sad ride home if the good die young do the bad die old? (Let me know) I'm just trying to carry my load another good n***a livin' by the bad guy code Lookin' for the Lord but the devil spoke to you When you lose a loved one or somebody that's close to you People turning they back meaning the most to you Then you find out your man is sending them folks to you Maybe you shed a tear and you never cry Always true to your word and you never lie Got your hand on them birds you would let em fly Yeah, cause real n***as never die (What?) Somebody tell me why (why) Why the good die young (why) Sometimes it makes me cry (cry) To know that you're gone Hold on to the memories Not a day goes by I Hear a voice saying dry those eyes 'Cause real n***as never die (Real n***as never die) They never die, no Real n***as never die (Real n***as never die) They never die Real n***as never die I had love for this music but ain't know how to pursue it Was frustrated as a teen I needed money for Buicks My shirt was stained from the sewage n***as rockin' the newest I dealt with it for the moment but couldn't call it the future I'm down a block from the shootin' It started to sound like recruitin' Seein' n***as I grew up with sleep to funeral music And I was only fifteen I parted ways with my schoolin' My first seven grams of work were like my holy communion and now I'm turnt out The block hot, n***as burnt out With no heart it's cold cash that we search out We got rules we hear shots then we 'sperse out
Retaliation, get back exactly what the turf bout And it's a gang of young n***as I was hurt 'bout On the real I almost shed tears in the church house Back when I thought real n***as couldn't die Learnt I was wrong but still couldn't cry Somebody tell me why (why) Why the good die young (why) Sometimes it makes me cry (cry) To know that you're gone Hold on to the memories Not a day goes by I Hear a voice saying dry those eyes 'Cause real n***as never die (Real n***as never die) They never die, no Real n***as never die (Real n***as never die) They never die Real n***as never die Since everybody real, where the fakers at? Since everybody trill, where the flakers at? Trynta break 'em down, where the tables at? Dufflebag full of cash like, where Vegas at? Crap tables, life's a gamble, but a n***a won! Now I'm lookin' round like, what have a n***a done? My lord my God, I'm used to hustlin' hard Guess they find it odd how a n***a beat the odds No Illuminati never been a fan of saints That's what happens when you room big as central station Same rubber band my cousin tied her braids with We ain't cop the same car my auntie played spades with What you know about five eatin' off a half That's five mu'f**as now you do the math Oxymoron these rap n***as don't lie This real n***a sh** and real n***as don't die Somebody tell me why (why) Why the good die young (why) Sometimes it makes me cry (cry) To know that you're gone Hold on to the memories Not a day goes by I Hear a voice saying dry those eyes 'Cause real n***as never die (Real n***as never die) They never die, no Real n***as never die (Real n***as never die) They never die Real n***as never die I pour out a little liquor RIP to my n***as I pour out a little liquor RIP to my n***as
