[Intro]
Too much, too young

[Refrain]
You've done too much, much too young
You're married with a kid when you could be having fun with me
Oh no, no gimme no more pickni, no

[Refrain]
You've done too much, much too young
You're married with a son when you should be having fun with me
We don't want, we don't want, we don't want no more pickni
No, no, no

[Verse 1]
Ain't he cute? No he ain't
He's just another burden on the welfare state

[Refrain]
You've done too much, much too young
You're married with a kid, you could be having fun with me
Gi we de birth control, we no want no pickni, no, no

[Verse 2]
Call me immature, call me a poser
I'll spread manure in your bed of roses
Don't want to be rich, don't want to be famous
And I'd really hate to have the same name as me
