Aq Xico - The Good Die Young Lyrics

Bullets get dumped, bystanders run
Another mother burying her son
Another queen left without a chance to say goodbye
Kids trying to understand what's happening, why?
Why do the ones we love be having to die?
How can they take you?
You was just laughing and smiling
There was a time that I was thinking of ending a life
That's when I started seeing the tears that's flooding they eyes
That's when I started seeing mothers just broken and crying
I started seeing all the ways I was wasting my time
And bringing them back for a second would be everything
I wish that I could jump into my memories
So I'm hanging with the ones left wishing I could never leave
But I'm scarred and it cut me deep
It's so astounding
You left the world better than you found it (Better than you found it)
There's no turning back
Anyone can go at any time like that, that's what's tragic
So I ain't looking back
Our last conversation could be the last we ever have, imagine that
I used to wanna live forever, now I can't imagine I'd want lesser
I smile when I'm stressing
The struggle bring the best out
I'm hoping that I'm next up
Wishing I could call you up in Heaven just to catch up
Picking up the phone, forgetting that they gone
Why do the good die young?
Picking up the phone, forgetting they went home
I thank you for making me strong
Picking up the phone, forgetting that they gone
Why do the good die young?
Picking up the phone, forgetting they went home
I thank you for making me strong
We gotta love each other like we fam
We hold each other's lives in our hands
I be sending out them texts just to get it off my chest
'Cause we never get a warning when it's time to meet death
And I'm still in mourning so I take deep breaths
Take life each step
I'm stronger than I ever would've been, though I
I'd give it back for another couple years with ya
Now I'm fearless
Focused, and I'm peerless
If you ever been through it, hope you hear this
I got scars that don't show up in the mirrors
So most of these problems ain't that serious
You had a lotta pain and God freed you
But I wish he didn't need to
When I go, I better see you
'Cause no one else is ever gonna be you
Sometimes I get distant, I don't mean to
Death, I don't fear you
You're almost like an old friend now, huh?
You keep me from taking life for granted
No matter how many lives I've had to see end now
I still don't understand it
Memories fade just a little every day
But the strength that you gave me will never go away
Picking up the phone, forgetting that they gone
Why do the good die young?
Picking up the phone, forgetting they went home
I thank you for making me strong
Picking up the phone, forgetting that they gone
Why do the good die young?
Picking up the phone, forgetting they went home
I thank you for making me strong
