Prodigy of Mobb Deep
Too Young
[Intro]
Stop, stop stop
Too young
Too young
Too young
Too young
[Verse 1: Prodigy]
As time passes, I flow with the swiftness, G
Showin' you all that I'm with this
Continous flavor, you all wanna savor
And those without no clout will have to pay for this
Dopeness, you ask who wrote this
[?] 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
[?] they will come to return the life of some
So for now, I guess we're just too young
[Verse 2]
Go to school to listen to the teachers all day
To learn about the history of the U-S of A
I'd like to make a difference starting today
But I'm not eighteen, Uncle Sam says, "No way!"
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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 to make my own decisions
Too young to choose my own religion
I'm too young to have my own opinion
Too young, I'm too young
[Verse 3]
My daddy goes to work almost everyday
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
I ask 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
[Chorus]
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 to make my own decisions
Too young to choose my own religion
I'm too young to have my own opinion
Too young, I'm too young
[Verse 4: Prodigy]
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!
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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 to make my own decisions
Too young to choose my own religion
I'm too young to have my own opinion
Too young, I'm too young
