Lyrics
Original Source:LyricWiki
hey young world
the world is yours
hey young world
the world is yours
young world young world
the world is yours
young wo-o-o-o-rld
this right here
it may cause concern
its for all ??
why don't you listen and learn
love brings happiness
that once was strong
But you ?
even that's turned wrong
hey.. it's cool to look bummy and be a dumb dummy and disrespect your mummy
have u forgotten who put you on this earth?
and who loved ya since your birth
reward is a brainwash kid gone wild
young little girls already have a child
bad company and hey now ya been framed
the parents are hurtin'
hurtin' and ashamed
your ruining yourself and your mommy can't cope
hey little kids don't follow these dopes
as a rule from a non - fool
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 thiefs hey they don't admire you
their times limited hard rocks too
so listen be strong scream 'whoopie doo'
go for yours cause dreams come true
and you'll make your mommy so proud of you
and this is a message that the ruler Rick threw
and its true
you kno what.. we likes ta party
hey young world the world is yours
hey mr bigshot
hey don't ya look fly
you don't have a  ??
oh my my my u been fightin' again and you forgot why
hey kid walk straight master your high
whyyyyy
because you make your family cry
and all jokes aside are you in good health?
hey little boy now have you really checked yourself
your a disgust you know someone i cant trust
you'd steal moms welfare and you'd run and buy some dust
and plus i must say big shot your not
your friends are talking and I'm hearing that your girl's a what?
you didn't know go steal and rob
and while your at it go get a suit for a job
you see your actin' like this urge is demanding
come on wake up
have some understanding
society's a weak excuse for a man
its time for a plan
time to take the stand
believe it or not the lord still shines on you
and he 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 be mature and put the boy to a home
and if your over 18 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 will smoke crack tomorrow
so be more mature and kids do your chores
make your own money hey be proud thats yours
you know why cuz thats a man
thats brains no spite
stayin' outta trouble when it comes in sight
and a man never misses a fight
in gods sight cuz righteous laws are overdue
as this is a message that the ruler rick threw
and its true
you know what you know what
we likes ta party we likes ta party
hey young world the world is yours
hey young world
