Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm just ridin' through this seat, bumpin' glizzy, poppin' pills
Countin' money and thinkin' 'bout the business, yeah
I love my city relentless, but when I think of Memphis, man
I think about them pussy ass ****, yeah, my enemies
Think about my past, down to my last
Sellin' gas, shootin' dice, fuck around and lost a bag
Jump on I-40 with a 40 in a brown bag
And a black MAC, headed to the hood, bumpin' Trap Or Die
If I die from trappin', if I make it rappin'
If I don't, if I call my Mexicans, get what I want
If I die, my family good forever
You **** gon' be bitches forever
[Verse 2]
They say the good die young where I'm from
The good die young where I'm from
They say them youngins totin' guns where I'm from
Wield hunnid round drums where I'm from
[Verse 3]
Don't you picture me this way
I see the hate on they face
Ay, na, na, na, na, na
I'm prayin' for better days
Just tryna make it through the day
Ay, na, na, na, na, na
****, I made my own way
I came a long, long way
I came a long, long way
They say the good die young where I'm from
The good die young where I'm from
[Verse 4]
I know a lotta people didn't believe me, they wanna see me dead
I know they prayin' on my downfall 'cause they wanna see me lose
****, this shit done happened over night
I really, really, really went through it
You don't understand what I had to do, what I've been through
What I had to lose
[Verse 5]
I done came a long way, ****
Long, long, long way, ****
Nobody helped me, I done made my own way, ****
The hate, it'd been real, vacuum sealed, it been sealed
Foreign whip to dip in, I done cracked the windshield
9 G's to fix it, they ain't picture me this way
All they ever did was hate
All they ever had was fake
[Verse 6]
Young rich **** made a way
Young rich **** made a way
[Verse 7]
They say the good die young where I'm from
The good die young where I'm from
They say them youngins totin' guns where I'm from
Wield hunnid round drums where I'm from
[Verse 8]
Don't you picture me this way
I see the hate on they face
Ay, na, na, na, na, na
I'm prayin' for better days
Just tryna make it through the day
Ay, na, na, na, na, na
****, I made my own way
I came a long, long way
I came a long, long way
They say the good die young where I'm from
The good die young where I'm from
[Verse 9]
If I make it to see 21, will I live the long life?
Good die young, fuck it round 'em up in
Southside thug life
All we know is spinnin' Benz
Right or wrong, thick or thin
The good always leave though
Hated on 'em, killed them for a kilo
If I don't make it to 18, I'm a zero
I go to jail, this cup of grain ain't fed a repo
You a hatin' ass ****, I'm a hero
I'm a Craig if you thinkin' you a Deebo
Why I plead? God done left me in the dark
Too many women gettin' found up park
Went to the club after dark, college athlete murdered
Shot straight through the heart
[Verse 10]
They say the good die young where I'm from
The good die young where I'm from
They say them youngins totin' guns where I'm from
Wield hunnid round drums where I'm from
[Verse 11]
Don't you picture me this way
I see the hate on they face
Ay, na, na, na, na, na
I'm prayin' for better days
Just tryna make it through the day
Ay, na, na, na, na, na
****, I made my own way
I came a long, long way
I came a long, long way
They say the good die young where I'm from
The good die young where I'm from
