Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(Guess who's back)
(Guess who's back)
(Guess who's back)
[Verse 2]
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 3]
This rap here, it may 'cause concern, it's
Broad and deep, why don't you listen and learn?
Love means 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 mommy
Have you forgotten, who put you on this Earth, huh?
Who brought you up right, and who loved you since your birth?
[Verse 4]
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
As a rule from a 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, 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
And this is a message, that the Ruler Rick threw, and it's true
[Verse 5]
(You know, you know what? You know what? We likes to party)
(You know, you know what? You know what? We likes to party)
Hey young world, the world is yours
Hey young world
(You know, you know what? You know what? We likes to party)
[Verse 6]
Hey Mr. Bigshot, hey don't you look fly?
But you don't have a nickel, oh my my my
You've been fightin' again and you forgot why
Hey kid, walk straight, master your high
Why? 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, I must say, Big Shot, you're not
Your friends are talking and I'm hearing 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 job
You see you're acting like this urge is demanding
Come one, wake up, have some understanding
[Verse 7]
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 18 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, hey, most don't borrow
And if you smoke crack, your kids'll 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
[Verse 8]
(You know, you know what? You know what? We likes to party)
(You know, you know what? You know what? We likes to party)
Hey young world, the world is yours
Hey young world
