Slick Rick - Hey Young World lyrics

Your rating:

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
