I wanna dedicate this one to Robert 'Yummy' Sanderford
and all other lil' young niggaz that's in [bad word] to be gangstas

As a young [bad word]  I'm almost ?swellin? in the wind
Give anythang, to be that innocent again, when I was ten
I didn't bang but I was hangin with the homies
tell them niggaz started slangin that they don't know me
I got my hustle on, learned to ignore what couldn't pay me
Lately I've been tryin to make a bill-ion, can you play me
with that jealousy they need to miss me, don't sweat me
If them cowards really want [bad word] get me, and even I
someday will die but I'm cautious, I'm fin' to ride
Put down the top, now we flossin
Hit the freeway, let the wind blow, drop the window
Workin with a twenty sack of indo, feelin good
Stop through the hood, grab the young thugs
And I can't help but reminisce back when we slung [bad word]  know it's bad
but all we had was our hopes and dreams
Couldn't see unless we learned to slang dope to fiends
as young niggaz

He's the kind of like everybody knows
As a young [bad word]     He's always G'd up, from head to toe
My memories as a young [bad word]     Always got it blown like Al Capone
Young [bad word]     He's the downest I've ever known

Back in Junior High, when we was barely gettin by, when daddy died
That's when my momma started gettin high
My neighborhood was full of drivebys, couldn't survive
All our homies livin short lives, I couldn't cry
Told my momma if I did die, just put a blunt in my casket
let me get my dead homies [bad word] follow me throughout my history, it's just
_Me Against the World_ stuck in misery; as a young [bad word] My only thing was to be paid
Life full of riches avoid snitched cause they shady, back in the days
We always found the time to play,
but that's before they taught them gangbangers how to spray
Not just L.A., but in the Bay and in Chicago and even St. Louis
Every stadium that I go, when will they change?
Stuck in the game like a dumb [bad word] Remember how it was, to be a young [bad word] 
He's the kind of like everybody knows
As a young [bad word]     He's always G'd up, from head to toe
My memories as a young [bad word]     Always got it blown like Al Capone
Young [bad word]     He's the downest I've ever known

I'm tellin you..
.. to be young, have your brains and have every ? and all that
Yo, y'all niggaz don't know how good you really do got it
Muh [bad word] need to just calm down
and peep what the [bad word] they wanna do for the rest of the life
'Fore you end your life before you BEGIN your life
You dumb [bad word] 
Now that I'm grown, I got my mind on bein somethin
Don't wanna be another statistic, out here doin nuttin
Tryin to maintain in this dirty game, keep it real
and I will even if it kills me, my young niggaz
break away from these dumb niggaz
Put down the guns and have some fun [bad word]  the [bad word] [bad word] Fame is a fast thang, that gangbangin
puttin niggaz in a casket, murdered for hangin
at the wrong place at the wrong time, no longer livin
Cause he threw up the wrong sign, and every day
I watch the murder rate increases, and even worse
the epidemic and diseases, what is the future?
The projects lookin hopeless, where
more and more borhters givin up and don't care
Sometimes I hate when brothers act up, I hit the weed
and I proceed to blow the track up, for young niggaz

He's the kind of like everybody knows
For these young niggaz
    He's always G'd up, from head to toe
My memories as a young [bad word]     He always got it blown like Al Capone
Take it slow [bad word]  it's for the young niggaz
    He's the downest I've ever known
As a young [bad word] 
He's the kind of like everybody knows
    He's always G'd u
