Slick Rick - Hey Young World lyrics

rate me

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..."
