Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They say the government mislead the youth
Youth, youth, youth
And welfare don't mean well for you
You, you, you
They tell me that my bill's past due
Due, due, due
And preacher man don't always tell the truth
Truth, truth
[Verse 2]
Head is the answer
Head is the future
Don't second-guess yourself
Come on, give me some help, hey
[Verse 3]
Head is the answer (Is the answer)
Head is the future (Do it for the future, girl)
Don't second guess yourself
Come on, give me some help
[Verse 4]
And I just wanna
Straight up
Eyes with my head
And I can use some help
Straight up
[Outro]
Head is the future
