Lyrics

Yeah, yo, what up?

This is Aceyalone, this is what's happenin'

Yo, let me tell ya a story real quick about one of my partners

About, about this cat I know

One of my homeboys and we just gon' call him Junior

Yeah, Junior got some money just for being a good kid

He sealed it up and never even opened up the lid

Girls gave him candy cause he treated 'em nice

He took it home and chopped it up and doubled up the price

Miss Thomas at the parent conference said he was honest

She was astonished at his confidence and what he accomplished

He respected his elders, but he knew who he liked

He listened before he talked and he never would fight

It's like everybody knew him when they wanted to know him

And anytime he did something for 'em they felt that they owed him

He was learning the life game that no one would show him

He had more than an idea of where he was going

He grew into a young man and gained some trust

And he had a knack for pleasing people and that was a plus

Any situation he was in, he would adjust

He never cussed and he never fussed what he discussed

Yeah, this what I'm talkin' 'bout

We was the same age, but I still looked up to him

Because he had his thing together

Some people just got that knack

And you can't do nothing about it

But, he ended up being a victim of circumstance

Because, he was on the rise

And, and you know he got a battle against the odds

And my man had such a good demeanor (Junior had it good)

He was smart, man, and he was a hustler (Junior had it good)

And he had his heffen up (Junior had it good)

And he had a natural ability to bring

People together (Junior had it good)

But which people he brought together

By the time he turned 26 he was intense

He was becoming a young prince with a whole lot of sense

Not only could he make money hustling white

He had a little bit of everything to get you some hype

They made cash with him so nobody wanted to hit him

But they'd get him if they had to get him, get rid of him quick

But why kill off the goose if you making a grip?

And why kill off the captain if you run a good ship?

Some people are strong, some people are weak

Others are smart, but still don't got a stomach for the streets

But Junior had a different angle, he was an angel

The calypso change-o, the game could tango

Cause he can't tango, or dance with wolves

Or waltz with a rattlesnake, what would it prove?

They started salting up his program, hoping he'd lose

But he stayed cool and he stayed steady making moves

Yeah, okay, meanwhile

Junior's out doing his thing

And living up to his full potential

But the, but the haters

And I don't even wanna call 'em that cause they worse than that

But, he's becoming a victim of the monster, you know?

The machine, the revolving door

It's them that's got versus them that can't get

And they ain't gon' never get

Junior had it good

Junior had it good

Junior had it good

Man, four years later Junior got him a nice stack

Compared to what he used to have, now he got twice that

When beef was at his door, he decided to ice that

Not knowing more and more, he was caught in a mice trap

He wanted to fight back, but who could he tell?

The lesser of the two evils that just put him in a cell

Everybody 'round knew that Junior was frail

But he didn't need muscles to make it, all he need was a scale

Hundred and twenty thousand in cold hard cash

A stash, a gun blast, so don't even ask

You get beat by the only one thing that can beat you

Defeat you, cheat you, the streets'll eat you

Jealousy and envy make a person deceitful

Then you add greed to it, combination is lethal

What a short life, knowing that it won't be a sequel

Sometimes bad things just happen to good people

Yeah, so they killed him

They murdered him in cold blood

He died face down in front of an empty safe

And for the fools that did this, I hope you rot in hell

I hope you live in hell

For my **** Junior, rest in peace

Junior had it good

Junior had it good

Junior had it good

Junior had it good
