[Verse 1]
And I'm just sitting here
With my head to the sky
'Cause I don't wanna see my people pass me by
They wanna lock us up
They wanna close the cage and throw away the key
But I just pray to God that I can get away from poverty
'Cause I'm too young
I'm too young to die
'Cause I'm too young
I'm too young to die

[Chorus]
We wanna get away
We try to get away and wonder why
'Cause I'm too young
I'm too young to die
(Too young)
Too young to die
(Too young)
Too young to die
(Too young to die)

[Verse 2]
Yeah
And we wanna get away, try to get away
And they wonder why
I see the news
My friend got killed today and I cried, I cried
But that can't be me
'Cause I'm too young to die
(Too young to die)
