TOO YOUNG

Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah [Verse 1] Kick it with the best, why the jacket is a Pelle Last era 'fore the cellys, don't do the phony talk Don't know much, but I know New York But it's feelin' like a corny motherfucker done stole her heart Dudes high off makin' lowly art I really come from drinkin' forties dark lonely Everybody wan' know me, rooftop warrior Staircase voyager, 10th Ave, 43rd Screamin', "Somebody hear me" New city, don't move me, smack a yuppie like it's civic duty I was always thinkin' critically, yeah And that shit weighed on my hеart daily, wish it didn't ruin me Really had to grow up in this shit, you just did a movie That's why I always said, "Fuck your script" Y'all go slummin' with our storiеs, man, fuck your bitch The only white boy hoopin' north of 105th And now a critic in the game got some shit that he gon' say 'Cause he feelin' all the shame from the fact that he ain't real Connecticut prep stars is givin' out the deals Bookin' all the shows, tellin' me I won't appeal But where the fuck was you when I was livin' just to prove? Closed fists on the train just stiff enough to move Baby Craft with a lil' rhythm and some groove Bled for this legacy, that's dividends to you [Chorus] Uptown, Downtown, Midtown, side Y'all motherfuckers never been outside Uptown, Downtown, Midtown, side Y'all motherfuckers never lived that ride Uptown, Downtown, Midtown, side Y'all motherfuckers never felt that pride Uptown, Downtown, Midtown, side Y'all motherfuckers never lived that ride [Verse 2] It's been a long road, now I could write a manual quickly To show you how to come off the bench and be a man of the city Man, I'm out here shootin' shots, fuck who handle is pretty My petty is polished, my flow handsome and gritty I'm Bruce Lee in Foamposites, usually the most honest Wasn't born but grown stylish, they would never co-sign him So I had to own my shit We all got stories, but you don't know mine, bitch I promise (I'm too young) [Chorus] Uptown, Downtown, Midtown, side (To feel this old) Y'all motherfuckers never been outside (I found my mind) Uptown, Downtown, Midtown, side (I lost my soul) Y'all motherfuckers never lived that ride (I got too high) Uptown, Downtown, Midtown, side (Now I feel low) Y'all motherfuckers never felt that pride (I missed my stop) Uptown, Downtown, Midtown, side (Still paid the toll) Y'all motherfuckers never lived that ride
