[Intro] Youngsta J-Beatz Y?gen to the end Yeah [Chorus] This is a big one It's never been done They call me Slim Young (Slim Young, Young, Young) Even though it's fun This is my income They call me Slim Young (Slim Young, Young, Young) The city I been from This is my kingdom They call me Slim Young (Slim Young, Young, Young) You better do somethin' While you are still young You cannot beat them We slim young, young, young, young [Verse 1] I was not a good student, I was a nuisance I needed a tutor I caught on nonsense for my amusement You can check my results, it was like an insult I started a cult but then I matured into an adult My face was a brick wall The teachеrs I ignored Just like a missed call, I was tryna comе up out a pitfall I had no matric ball I never did sports But we used to kick ball, skop en donner until you get sore And when it was civvies, I wore my Griffies My mom didn't buy it, I used to hustle like my name was Nipsey And it was risky Family tried to assist me My nephews and niggies tried to uplift but couldn't convice me I was stuck up in a rat race Falling down like a cascade Until rap came back into my life, it was a match made And there were some bad days, but I always had faith Outsmatrted the rest They thought I was dom, now they see I had brains [Chorus] This is a big one It's never been done They call me Slim Young (Slim Young, Young, Young) Even though it's fun This is my income They call me Slim Young (Slim Young, Young, Young) The city I been from This is my kingdom They call me Slim Young (Slim Young, Young, Young) You better do somethin' While you are still young You cannot beat them We slim young, young, young, young [Verse 2] I went to great schools but I had a to break rules 'Cause most of my peers were dropping out fast and failing became cool I still have the same crew, some of them made moves But I am the only one who had a dream that actually came true And I'm still the same bru, but I have changed views 31 years ahead, I'm keeping you fed and giving you brain food You heard about it through the grapefruit That I had to pay dues And I wasn't ashamed to 'cause I waited long for this breakthrough But when I was in Maths Lit, I didn't have lis But my teacher passed away, rest in peace to Miss Daniels Being stuck up in a classroom, that was something I can't do I was writing on desks but writing a song was a very smart move My academics was average, chappin my name in the passage I don't think teachers could manage For bread, I atleast had a snackwhich And if you got your school shirt now imagine what my signature is worth now Tellin teachers put their work down 'cause we self taught and we learnt how I'm first now [Chorus] This is a big one It's never been done They call me Slim Young (Slim Young, Young, Young) Even though it's fun This is my income They call me Slim Young (Slim Young, Young, Young) The city I been from This is my kingdom They call me Slim Young (Slim Young, Young, Young) You better do somethin' While you are still young You cannot beat them We slim young, young, young, young
