Macy Gray › Lyrics › Hey Young World, Pt. 2

Hey young world
Check one two, check one two
Hey young world
Check one two, check one two
Hey young world, young world
Hey young world, young world

This track here may cause concern for all ring leaders
Why don't you listen and learn?
Love, peace, happiness, once was strong
But due to society, even that's turned wrong

Why?
Don't be a dumb dummy and disrespect mommy
And why?
She put you on earth and loved you since birth, and you

Hey young world
The world is yours
Hey young world
The world is yours
Young world, young world
Young world, young world

Reward is a brainwashed kid gone wild
Young little girls already have a child
Bad company and now you've been framed
Parents are hurting so hurted and ashamed

Why?
Hey lil' kids don't follow these dopes
Why?
Don't be a fool like those who ditch school, it's yours

Hey young world
The world is yours
Hey young world
The world is yours
Young world, young world
Young world, young world

Get ahead and accomplish things
You'll see the wonder and that joy life brings
Don't admire thieves, they don't admire you
Their times are limited and hardrocks too

Listen be strong and scream, "Woopie doo"
Go for yours, 'cause dreams come true
You'll make your mommy so proud of you too
And this is a message that the Ruler Rick threw

Elders see our wise ones grow
Interest in what their kid learned 'bout
Seen how the offspring turns out
Knowing you can now safeguard self
Put upon an exciting path
You'll see immense pride they'll have

Hey young world
The world is yours
Hey young world
The world is yours
Young world, young world
Young world, young world

Don't discipline rule soundly
Kids that we have lose boundaries
Grow into what's called curse race lack independence
Worst case imprisonment death near for
Not what we brought kids here for
Morals and values of sorts should be the first thing installed

Believe it or not, God still shines on you
He guides you and he watched you as you grew
Stay out of trouble, when it comes insight
'Cause a man never loses a fight in God's sight

Hey young world
Hey young world
Young world, young world
Young world, young world
. . .
