Hey Young World Lyrics

    Guess who's back (3x)

    Hey young world... the world is yours
    Hey young world... the world is yours
    Young world young world... the world is yours
    Young wo-ah-huh-huh-huh-urld

    This rap here... it may cause concern it's
    Broad and deep... why don't you listen and learn
    Love mean happiness... that once was strong
    But due to society... even that's turned wrong
    Times have changed... and it's cool to look bummy
    And be a dumb dummy and disrespect your mummy
    Have you forgotten... who put you on this earth?
    Who brought you up right... and who loved you since your birth?
    Reward is a brainwashed kid goin wild
    Young little girls already have a child
    Bad company... hey, now you've been framed
    Your parents are hurting... hurting and ashamed
    You're ruining yourself... and your mommy can't cope
    Hey, little kids don't follow these dopes
    Here's a rule for the non cool... your life, don't drool
    Don't be a fool like those that don't go to school
    Get ahead... and accomplish things
    You'll see the wonder and the joy life brings
    Don't admire thieves... hey they don't admire you
    Their time's limited, hardrocks too
    So listen, be strong, scream whoopee-doo
    Go for yours, cause dreams come true
    And you'll make your mommy proud... so proud of you too
    And this is a message... that the ruler rick threw
    And it's true

    "you know, you know what, you know what, you know what?
    We like to party, like to party"
    (repeat 3x)

    Hey young world, the world is yours
    Hey young world

    "yo peep this"

    Hey mr. bigshot... hey, don't you look fly?
    But you don't have a nickle... ohhhh, my my my
    You've been fightin again and, you forgot why
    Hey kid, walk straight, master your high
    Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.... because you make your family cry
    And all jokes aside, are you in good health?
    Hey little boy... now have you really checked yourself?
    You're a disgust, you know someone that i can't trust, you'd
    Steal mom's welfare... and you'd run and buy some dust, and
    Plus, a must so... bigshot you're not
    Your friends are talkin and i'm hearin that your girls are what?
    You didn't know? go steal and rob
    And while you're at it... go get a suit for a j-awhh-ob
    You see you're actin like this urge is demandin
    C'mon, wake up... have some understandin
    Society's a weak excuse for a man
    It's time for the brothers... rap is trying to take the stand
    Believe it or not, the lord still shines on you deep
    Guides you... and he watched you as you grew, plus
    Past the age of... a little child, that's true
    But folks your age don't act like you do, so
    So be mature... and put the point to a halt
    And if you're over eighteen... i wish you'd act like an adult
    Don't live in a world... of hate hate hate
    Pull yourself together... and get yourself straight
    Men don't steal... hey, most don't borrow
    And if you smoke crack... your kids'll smoke crack tomorrow
    So be more mature... and kids do your chores
    Make your own money... hey, be proud that's yours
    You know why, cause that's a man... that's brains no spite
    Stayin out of trouble... when it comes in sight
    And a man never loses a fight... in god's sight
    Cause righteous laws are overdue
    And this is a message that the ruler rick threw
    And it's true

    "you know, you know what, you know what, you know what?
    We like to party, like to party"
    (repeat 3x)

    Hey young world, the world is yours
    Hey young world...

    "yo peep this...
    Mc... ricky... d...
    The grand wizzard...
    And his partner...
    And his and his and his partner...
    Say what?
    La-di! da-di! la-di! da-di! (repeat 2x)
    La-di-da-di..."
