[Intro]

Stop, stop stop

Too young

Too young

Too young

Too young


[Verse 1: Prodigy]

As time passes, I flow with the swiftness, G

Showin' you all that I'm with this

Continous flavor, you all wanna savor

And those without no clout will have to pay for this

Dopeness, you ask who wrote this

[?] and I do quote this

Rappers evaporate, flakes, we eliminate

Create the great then I wait as I meditate

For those who can't keep up with the dope rhyme

Huh, I waste no time

[?] they will come to return the life of some

So for now, I guess we're just too young


[Verse 2]

Go to school to listen to the teachers all day

To learn about the history of the U-S of A

I'd like to make a difference starting today

But I'm not eighteen, Uncle Sam says, "No way!"


[Pre-Chorus]

Animals are dying in the worst way

We're getting snow and I'm working late

I wanna save the planet before it's too late

But the E.P.A. won't listen to what I have to say


[Chorus]

Grown folks are talking, but never wanna listen

My head is spinning as I try to get attention

They tell me don't worry, there's just nothing that I'm missing

When will they ever ask for my opinion?

I'm too young to make my own decisions

Too young to choose my own religion

I'm too young to have my own opinion

Too young, I'm too young


[Verse 3]

My daddy goes to work almost everyday

He has to nine-to-five it so there's food on the plate

The boss is cutting corners and it shows on his face

I ask why, he'll reply, "You're too young, son, go out and play"

The city's filled with people with no place to stay

Kids are pushing drugs to find a better way

Babies having babies and throwing them away

All because their parents couldn't give them the time of day


[Chorus]

Grown folks are talking, but never wanna listen

My head is spinning as I try to get attention

They tell me don't worry, there's just nothing that I'm missing

When will they ever ask for my opinion?

I'm too young to make my own decisions

Too young to choose my own religion

I'm too young to have my own opinion

Too young, I'm too young


[Verse 4: Prodigy]

Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!

Yo, I'm too young to even try to get my point across

So why should I try when I just fall for their lies and deception?

No need for correction

Just 'cause I'm underage there's no election

Chill, I'm not with that program

My reading level's not Sam I Am

I am a pro and my brain is objective

Sit here, my son, take some notes, corrective

Adults only is what they told me

So for some, huh, I guess I'm just too young

Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!


[Pre-Chorus]

Animals are dying in the worst way

We're getting snow and I'm working late

I wanna save the planet before it's too late

But the E.P.A. won't listen to what I have to say


[Chorus]

Grown folks are talking, but never wanna listen

My head is spinning as I try to get attention

They tell me don't worry, there's just nothing that I'm missing

When will they ever ask for my opinion?

I'm too young to make my own decisions

Too young to choose my own religion

I'm too young to have my own opinion

Too young, I'm too young
