Too Young to Live

[Verse 1]

Well, it's hard to be cool when you're still in high school

You got the old man jackin' you around

And he tells you what to do, gives your opinions to you

And you feel just like some kinda clown

And your old lady's bitchin', screamin' from the kitchen

"What time you gonna be home tonight?"

And you walk out the door 'cause you can't take any more

You don't know wrong from right

[Chorus]

As you walk by

All the young girls gonna wink their eye

You ain't playin' for pennies, no, no

You know that the trick is too high

You're too young to live

But you're living too fast to die

[Verse 2]

Well, inferior raps will run out like rats

When the crowd comes near

And suicide thoughts can be easily bought

After a six, six-pack of beer

And if time would allow, well now, who would you be now?

Could you find yourself a hero?

And you think it's kinda funny that you don't have any money

To bet if you place or you show, yeah

[Chorus]

As you walk by

All the young girls gonna shake their thigh

You ain't playin' for pennies, no, no

You know that the trick is too high, too high

You're too young to live

But you're living too fast to die

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

Well, sometimes in the night you cry for the sight

Of someone to help you along

But you see yourself as tough and you know it's just a bluff

You got that reputation to carry on

And if you ever get away from what your old man might say

Hey, you'll be a big man in the end

But remember the cliché and what your mother used to say

Your family is your only friend

[Chorus]

As you walk by

All the young girls gonna wink their eye

You ain't playin' for pennies, no, no

You know that the trick is too high

You're too young to live

But you're living too fast to die, yeah

[Instrumental Outro]
