Hey Young World Songtext
von Slick Rick

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 wo-oh-oh-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, huh?
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, hard rocks too
So listen, be strong, scream who-o-pee-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
You know, you know what, you know what, you know what? (Hey young world, the world is yours)
We like to party, like to party (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?
But you don't have a nickle, oh-oh-oh-oh, my, my, my
You′ve been fightin′ again and, you forgot why
Hey kid, walk straight, master your high
Why-y-y-y-y, 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-oh-oh-ob
You see, you′re actin' like this urge is demanding
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 they, 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 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, you know what, you know what? (Hey young world, the world is yours)
We like to party, like to party (hey young world)
Yo, peep this
