Never Die

[Intro: Cee-Lo Green, Jadakiss & DJ Drama]

I pour out a little liquor (Uh-huh)

R-I-P to my niggas (Rest in peace)

I pour out a little liquor

A dedication (A dedication)

Ah-haaaa

[Verse 1: Jadakiss]

Evil thoughts in your mind keep runnin' through

Not quite sure what you wanna do

Like, what is this world comin' 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 tryna carry my load

Another good nigga 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 turnin' they back meanin' the most to you

Then you find out your man is sendin' them folks to you

Make 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 niggas never die (What?)

[Chorus: Cee-Lo Green]

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 sayin', "Dry those eyes"

'Cause real niggas never die (Real niggas never die)

They never die, no

Real niggas never die (Real niggas never die)

They never die, real niggas never die

[Verse 2: Nipsey Hussle]

Yuh, look

I had a love for this music but I ain't know how to pursue it

Was frustrated as a teen, I needed money for Buicks

My shirt was stained from the sewage, niggas 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' niggas 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 was like my holy communion

And now I'm turnt out, the block hot, niggas 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 game of young niggas I was heard 'bout

On the real, I almost shed tears in the church house

Back when I thought real niggas couldn't die

Learnt I was wrong but still couldn't cry

Look

[Chorus: Cee-Lo Green & Jeezy]

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 sayin', "Dry those eyes"

'Cause real niggas never die (Real niggas never die)

They never die, no (DJ Drama, I gotchu nigga)

Real niggas never die (Real niggas never die)

They never die, real niggas never die (Against the world nigga, look, yeah)

[Verse 3: Jeezy]

Since everybody real, where the fakers at? (At)

Since everybody trill, where the flakers at? (Yeah)

Tryna break 'em down, where the tables at? (At)

Duffel bag full of cash like, where Vegas at? (Yeah)

Crap tables, life's a gamble, what a nigga want? (Want)

Now I'm lookin round like, what have a nigga done? (Yeah)

My Lord, my God, I'm used to hustlin' hard (Hard)

Guess they find it odd how a nigga beat the odds (Yeah)

No illuminati, never been a fan of Satan (Satan)

That's what happens when you room big as Central Station (Ha-haa)

Same rubber band my cousin tied her braids with (Yeah)

Weighin' coke with the same cards my auntie played spades with (Damn)

What you know about five eatin' off a half? (Half)

That's five muh'fuckas now you do the math

Oxymoron, these rap niggas don't lie (Lie)

This real nigga shit and real niggas don't die (Yeah)

[Chorus: Cee-Lo Green]

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 sayin', "Dry those eyes"

'Cause real niggas never die (Real niggas never die)

They never die, no

Real niggas never die (Real niggas never die)

They never die, real niggas never die

[Outro: Cee-Lo Green]

I pour out a little liquor

R-I-P to my niggas

I pour out a little liquor

R-I-P to my niggas
