DIE YOUNG Lyrics by DDK

2023

[Chorus]
Middle finger in the sky if you work too hard
Put another up high if it’s fuck your job
Told my homies “I’m fine.”, yeah we coming out strong
Blowing up too fast, so I gotta die young
Middle finger in the sky if you work too hard
Put another up high if it’s fuck your job
Told my homies “I’m fine.”, yeah we coming out strong
Blowing up too fast, so I gotta die young (I love you, KXVI)

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I was riding the bus to get to school
Now I’m looking for a regular [?] and get me views
What a thought! Sending classes, making it on the news
Before I got on the move, I had to learn how to move
I was fifteen looking for dollars and had a dream
When people walk in the building, my name is gonna ring
In thеm stadium tours, man, m-making the people sing
La-do-da-da-da, this timе it’ll sound a clang
And suicidal intentions brought patients into my veins
Instead of painting the wall, I’m painting pictures that stay
And helping all of them kids, that never could find a way
If you got a dream, fuck what they say, you gotta chase man
Cause I remember them days that I was broke
Heart rich in my own mind, the universe taking notes
On God, I gotta get it, I’d rather die than I know
If it piercing in your heart, motherfucker you gotta go, bro

[Chorus]
Middle finger in the sky if you work too hard
Put another up high if it’s fuck your job
Told my homies “I’m fine.”, yeah we coming out strong
Blowing up too fast, so I gotta die young
Middle finger in the sky if you work too hard
Put another up high if it’s fuck your job
Told my homies “I’m fine.”, yeah we coming out strong
Blowing up too fast, so I gotta die young

[Verse 2]
When I was 12 years old, I contemplated my life
So young with all the thoughts, and the world inside a knife
Thirteen, I had a dream, fourteen, I started writing
Fifteen, I almost died, I came alive that night
Sixteen, I started rapping, seventeen, I took it far
Eighteen, my grandma died, I took that shit to the heart
Nineteen, grandfather died, I said Imma do it hard
At twenty I got some money, invested it from a job
Put that shit at my art, twenty-one, I’m having fun
At twenty-two, I blew up, but all of me wasn’t gone
I went to the hospital, just like when I was young
Now I gotta thank God, for how far I have come
Perc told me fuck the fed, just live how you would love
And now I live far above, to help the children with none
Tell them that they can do it, regardless of who you are
You broke, rich, or poor?, I know you gon’ make it far, bruh

[Chorus]
Middle finger in the sky if you work too hard
Put another up high if it’s fuck your job
Told my homies “I’m fine.”, yeah we coming out strong
Blowing up too fast, so I gotta die young
Middle finger in the sky if you work too hard
Put another up high if it’s fuck your job
Told my homies “I’m fine.”, yeah we coming out strong
Blowing up too fast, so I gotta die young
Middle finger in the sky if you work too hard
Put another up high if it’s fuck your job
Told my homies “I’m fine.”, yeah we coming out strong
Blowing up too fast, so I gotta die young
Middle finger in the sky if you work too hard
Put another up high if it’s fuck your job
Told my homies “I’m fine.”, yeah we coming out strong
Blowing up too fast, so I gotta die young (I love you, KXVI)
