Song Lyrics

Guess who's back?
Guess who's back?
Guess who's back?

(Hey, young world) the world is yours
(Hey, young world) the world is yours
(Young world, young world) the world is yours
Young world

(This rap here) it may cause concern, it's
(Broad and deep) why don't you listen and learn?
(Love means happiness) that once was strong
(But due to society) even that's turned wrong
(Times have changed) hey, 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 and) hey, now you've been framed
(Your parents are hurting) hurting and ashamed
(Ruining yourself) and your mommy can't cope
Hey, little kids don't follow these dopes
(As a rule from the 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 thieves 'cause) hey, they don't admire you
Their time's limited, hard rocks too
So listen, be strong, scream whoopee-doo
Go for yours, 'cause dreams come true
(And you'll make your mommy so) 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

(You know, you know what?)
Hey, young world (you know what, you know what)
The world is yours
Hey, young world (you know, you know what, you know what, you know what?)
(We like to party, like to party, yo, peep this)

(Hey, Mr. Bigshot) hey, don't you look fly?
(And you don't have a dollar) oh, my, my, my
You've been fightin' again and you forgot why
Hey kid, walk straight, master your high
Why? 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, I must say) big shot, 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 job
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 righteous) rap is trying to take the stand
Believe it or not, the Lord still shines on you, he
(Guides you) and he watched you as you grew, plus(
(Past the age of a) of a little child, that's true
But folks your age don't act like you do, so
(So be mature) and put the boy 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)

(You know, you know what?)
Hey, young world (you know what, you know what)
The world is yours
Hey, young world

Yo, peep this
