Lyrics

(Hey, stop, stop) too young
Too young (yo!)
Too young
Too young
As time passes, I flow with the swiftness, G
Showin' you all that are with this
Continuous flavor, you all wanna savor
And those without no clout will have to pay for this (dopeness)
You ask who wrote this
We are here and I do quote this
Rappers evaporate, flakes we eliminate
Create the great then I wait as I meditate
For those who can't keep up with the dope rhyme
Huh, I waste no time
For this, they will come to return the life of some
So for now, I guess we're just too young
Go to school to listen to the teachers all day
To learn about the history of the US of A
I'd like to make a difference, starting today
But I'm not 18, Uncle Sam says ("No way!")
Animals are dying in the worst way
We're getting snow and I'm working late
I wanna save the planet before it's too late
But the E.P.A. won't listen to what I have to say
Grown folks are talking but never wanna listen
My head is spinning as I try to get attention
They tell me don't worry, there's just nothing that I'm missing
When will they ever ask for my opinion?
I'm too young (too young) to make my own decisions
Too young (too young) to choose my own religion
I'm too young (too young) to have my own opinion
Too young (too young) I'm too young
My daddy goes to work almost every day
He has to nine-to-five it so there's food on the plate
The boss is cutting corners and it shows on his face
And that's why he'll reply, "you're too young son, go out and play"
The city's filled with people with no place to stay
Kids are pushing drugs to find a better way
Babies having babies and throwing them away
All because their parents couldn't give them the time of day
Grown folks are talking but never wanna listen
My head is spinning as I try to get attention
They tell me don't worry, there's just nothing that I'm missing
When will they ever ask for my opinion?
I'm too young (too young) to make my own decisions
Too young (too young) to choose my own religion
I'm too young (too young) to have my own opinion
Too young (too young) I'm too young
Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!
Yo, I'm too young to even try to get my point across
So why should I try when I just fall for their lies and deception?
No need for correction
Just 'cause I'm underage there's no election
(Chill) I'm not with that program
My reading level's not Sam I Am
I am a pro and my brain is objective
Sit here, my son, take some notes, corrective
Adults only is what they told me
So for some, huh, I guess I'm just too young
Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!
Animals are dying in the worst way
We're getting snow and I'm working late
I wanna save the planet before it's too late
But the E.P.A. won't listen to what I have to say
Grown folks are talking but never wanna listen
My head is spinning as I try to get attention
They tell me don't worry, there's just nothing that I'm missing
When will they ever ask for my opinion?
I'm too young (too young) to make my own decisions
Too young (too young) to choose my own religion
I'm too young (too young) to have my own opinion
Too young (too young) I'm too young
I'm too young (too young) to make my own decisions
Too young (too young) to choose my own religion
I'm too young (too young) to have my own opinion
Too young (too young) I'm too young
I'm too young (too young)
Ooh, I'm too young (too young)
Ooh, I'm too young (too young)
Ooh, I'm too young (too young)
I'm too young, too young, too young
I'm not gonna tell you kids to turn this music down no more now
