He was a good grandfather
A good dad

He turned all our lives around
Atlest he tried to
Some people u just can't help
But he was a great man
He wasn't cold

He was young
He always told me to be good
Don't do anything stupid

I did anyway
But he tough me to put others before me
Threw the good times
The bad times
He tough me to put others first
It was pitch black
sh*t
He showed me the light
He never hurt nobody

He was a nice man
[Chorus]
He was a good guy
Bad things happen to good people
But then every thing happens for a reason
Its just some thing we have no controll of
Thats just fate
[verse 2]
He was always glad
Never mad
He tried to mold me into a man
It did'int workout
Look at me

He did more for me than my dad ever did
[Chorus]
He was a good guy
Bad things happen to good people
But then every thing happens for a reason
Its just some thing we have no controll of
Thats just fate
[verse 3]
He was a great man
He did'int hate
Yeah

Yet his fate
He never found a mate
He was a great guy
Bad things happen to good guys
Maybe it was just fate
sh*t
He lyed in a state of pain
He had a good job
The fam
They were like leaches
The all took advantage of him
Till he lyed in a constant state of pain
sh*t
He had no estate
We all can relate
We could restate
He spent his whole life tuning
Tuning from fate
[Chorus]
He was a good guy
Bad things happen to good people
But then every thing happens for a reason
Its just some thing we have no controll of
Thats just fate
[verse 4]

Bad things happen to good people
But then every thing happens for a reason
Its just some thing we have no controll of
Thats just fate

None of ous could stop it
We couldn't evan rel;ate

Now he's gone
He's up there
Awaiting
At the gate
He's waiting at the gate
For the date
[Chorus]
He was a good guy
Bad things happen to good people
But then every thing happens for a reason
Its just some thing we have no controll of
Thats just fate

The date that fate get's me
But i'm lucky

He gave me his strength
His height

Await for me at the pearlly gate
Awate for my date
