TOO YOUNG

[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
