0:03Guess whos back
0:12Hey young world the world is yours

0:20Young wo-ah-huh-huh-huh-urld
0:21This rap here it may cause concern its
0:26Broad and deep why don't you listen and learn
0:28Love mean happiness that once was strong
0:31But due to society even thats turned wrong
0:34Times have changed and its cool to look bummy
0:36And be a dumb dummy and disrespect your mummy
0:39Have you forgotten who put you on this earth
0:43Who brought you up right and who loved you since your birth
0:45Reward is a brainwashed kid goin wild
0:48Young little girls already have a child
0:51Bad company hey now youve been framed
0:54Your parents are hurting hurting and ashamed
0:56You're ruining yourself and your mommy can't cope
0:59Hey little kids don't follow these d**es
1:02Heres a rule for the non cool your life don't drool
1:05Don't be a fool like those that don't go to school
1:08Get ahead and accomplish things
1:10Youll see the wonder and the joy life brings
1:13Don't admire thieves hey they don't admire you
1:16Their times limited hardrocks too
1:19So listen be strong scream whoopee-doo
1:20Go for yours cause dreams come true
1:24And youll make your mommy proud so proud of you too
1:28And this is a message that the ruler rick threw

1:54Youve been fightin again and you forgot why
1:56Hey kid walk straight master your high
1:59Why because you make your family cry
2:01And all jokes aside are you in good health
2:05Hey little boy now have you really checked yourself
2:07You're a disgust you know someone that I can't trust you'd
2:10Steal moms welfare and you'd run and buy some dust and
2:13Plus a must so bigshot you're not
2:16Your friends are talkin and I'm hearin that your girls are what
2:18You didnt know go steal and rob
2:21And while you're at it go get a suit for a j-awhh-ob
2:24You see you're actin like this urge is demandin
2:27Cmon wake up have some understandin
2:30Societys a weak excuse for a man
2:33Its time for the brothers rap is trying to take the stand
2:35Believe it or not the lord still shines on you deep
2:38Guides you and he watched you as you grew plus
2:41Past the age of a little child thats true
2:44But folks your age don't act like you do so
2:47So be mature and put the point to a halt
2:49And if you're over eighteen I wish you'd act like an adult
2:53Don't live in a world of hate hate hate
2:53Pull yourself together and get yourself straight
2:58Men don't steal hey most don't borrow
3:01And if you smoke crack your kidsll smoke crack tomorrow
3:02So be more mature and kids do your chores
3:07Make your own money hey be proud thats yours
3:09You know why cause thats a man thats brains no spite
3:12Stayin out of trouble when it comes in sight
3:16And a man never loses a fight in gods sight
3:19Cause righteous laws are overdue
3:20And this is a message that the ruler rick threw
3:21And its true
3:21You know you know what you know what you know what
