Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Me and my best friends, crusin' down West End St.
Hidin' from cops and driving circles around the block all week
Now all of my friends died out on West End St.
They say we're born to die young but we just trying to live in peace
[Verse 2]
Listen, maybe heaven is a ghetto with no bad blocks
Shangri-La dealers at the the bus stop
And maybe God is just cop that we can fast talk
So if you're guilty and you know it put your hands up
'Cause karma's is just a different word for bad luck
And what if death is just another pair a hand cuffs?
[Verse 3]
Then we better run
Then we better run
[Verse 4]
All of our friends went crazy on L.S.D.
Similar cars and the big bright city streets
And everyone knows our name says that we never gonna change
They say we're born to die young but we're trying to find a better way
They say we're born to die young but we're trying to find a better way
[Verse 5]
Maybe heaven is a ghetto with no bad blocks
Shangri-La dealers at the the bus stop
And maybe God is just cop that we can fast talk
So if you're guilty and you know it put your hands up
'Cause karma's is just a different word for bad luck
And what if death is just another pair a hand cuffs?
[Verse 6]
Then we better run
Then we better run
[Verse 7]
What up?
Hey, whats up man?
I'm just sittin' a mile high
I'm gonna be thirty three years old tomorrow
And I feel
Half completely alive
And half completely dead
[Verse 8]
Hopefully pray, day after day
They say we're born to die young but we're gonna find a better way
Hopefully pray, day after day
They say we're born to die young but we're trying to find a better way
[Verse 9]
So maybe heaven is ghetto with no bad blocks
Shangri-La dealers at the the bus stop
And maybe God is just cop that we can fast talk
So if you're guilty and you know it put your hands up
'Cause karma's is just a different word for bad luck
And what if death is just another pair a hand cuffs?
[Verse 10]
Then we better run
Then we better run
Then we better run
