[Intro]
Guess who's back
Guess who's back
Guess who's back
[Bridge]
Hey young world, the world is yours
Hey young world, the world is yours
Young world young world, the world is yours
Young world
[Verse 1]
This rap here, it may cause concern it's
Broad and deep, why don't you listen and learn
Love, peace, happiness, that once was strong
But due to society, even that's turned wrong
Times have changed, ayy, it's cool to look bummy
And be a dumb dummy and disrespect your mummy
Have you forgotten, who put you on this Earth?
Who brought you up right, and who loved you since your birth?
Reward is a brainwashed kid going 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 fool, 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 'cause, hey, they don't admire you
Their time's limited, hard rocks' too
So listen, be strong, scream whoopee-doo
Go for yours, 'cause dreams come true
And you'll make your mommy proud, so proud of you too
Guess who's back
Guess who's back
Guess who's back
[Bridge]
Hey young world, the world is yours
