“The Youngster” laments the real-life story of 3 promising SoundCloud rappers who died prematurely.

lyrics

One last tour stop in Tucson before we wrap this whole thing up
Chase went on the bus to get him, but he would not wake up

Why must you always play with guns?
Why must you always do those hard drugs?

The feds were waiting for the Gulfstream to touch down
What’s the point in flying private when the pilot rats you out?
Take some codeine with this Percocet, and wash it down

Why must you always play with guns?
Why must you always do those hard drugs?

The black Dodge Journey followed him as he left the bank
Those ugly orange sandals all over the security tape
The voice of this new genre taken out for less than 50k

Why do you always play with guns?
Why do you always join those bad clubs?
Why do you always do those hard drugs?
