"WHY Y'ALL DIE" — BIG KNOCK

Intro

Yeah.

This for the ones I lost.

This for the ones I love.

This for everybody.

Let's go.

Verse 1

Why y'all die? Why y'all leave? Why y'all go? /

Why the good ones always first, that's the part I'll never know /

Bread Nigga, you was first, you was everything to me /

You was brother, you was father, you was all I'll ever be /

Big D, you was blood, you was cousin, you was kin /

You was there when I was nothing, you was there through thick and thin /

C-O, you was loyal, you was solid, you was true /

You was down for whatever, you was down for me and you /

Hook

Why y'all die? Why y'all gone? Why y'all leave me here alone? /

Why y'all die? Why y'all gone? Why y'all leave me on my own? /

Bread Nigga, Big D, C-O, my sister, Fat David too /

I'm still here, I'm still standing, and I'm doing it for you /

Why y'all die? Why y'all gone? Why y'all leave me here alone? /

Why y'all die? Why y'all gone? Why y'all leave me on my own? /

Bread Nigga, Big D, C-O, my sister, Fat David too /

I'm still here, I'm still standing, and I'm doing it for you /

Verse 2

My sister, you was young, you was bright, you was a star /

You was rapping just like me, you was gonna go so far /

They took you in a parking lot, they took you in the cold /

They took you from your brother, and they took you from your soul /

Fat David, you was big, you was bold, you was a king /

You was everything to Death

Bridge

They say time heal the pain, but it don't, it just teach you how to hold it /

I got tattoos of y'all names and I kiss 'em when I'm loaded /

Every candle that I light, every corner that I post /

I be talking to the ghost of the ones I love the most /

(Yeah, yeah)

Post up on the block where we used to play /

(Ya-yeah)

Pour a little out for the ones they took away /

(Uh-huh)

Sideshow in the memory, tires screaming out y'all names /

(Yeah)

I'ma ride for y'all forever, ain't a thing gon' change /

Verse 4

I remember scraper doors and the smell of summer nights /

Four deep in the bucket, riding slow under the lights /

You ain't never left me, you just moved into the air /

I can feel you in the wind when the fog roll off the pier /

I be at the function with your chain around my neck /

Vogues on the whip, doing donuts in respect /

Every time they play our song I gotta step outside and cry /

Then I wipe my face and mobb, 'cause a soldier never die /

Pre-Chorus

So I raise my glass, and I say it loud and clear /

(To the ones I lost)

Y'all the reason that I'm standing right here /

(Right here, right here)

I ain't never gonna fold, I ain't never gonna break /

Break, break

Every breath I take is for y'all sake /

Hook

Why y'all die? Why y'all gone? Why y'all leave me here alone? /

Why y'all die? Why y'all gone? Why y'all leave me on my own? /

Bread Nigga, Big D, C-O, my sister, Fat David too /

I'm still here, I'm still standing, and I'm doing it for you /

Why y'all die? Why y'all gone? Why y'all leave me here alone? /

Why y'all die? Why y'all gone? Why y'all leave me on my own? /

Bread Nigga, Big D, C-O, my sister, Fat David too /

I'm still here, I'm still standing, and I'm doing it for you /

Verse 5

I'm a product of the struggle, of the sorrow, of the soil /

Every dollar that I stack, every hustle, every toil /

Is a monument to y'all, is a statue made of sound /

And I'ma carry y'all with me till they put me in the ground /

So when they ask me how I'm doing, I just point up at the sky /

Say I'm good, I'm just missing all my people on the fly /

I ain't bitter, I ain't broken, I'm just better 'cause I knew y'all /

And the best of me gon' always be the part that's still with y'all /

Outro

This one's forever. 🕊️

For Bread Nigga, for Big D, for C-O, for my sister, for Fat David. 🩸

We gon' ride. 🌁

We gon' never forget y'all names. 👑

Thizz in peace. 🌙😝
