Ill Bill feat. Hero & Slaine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I found out that i was too young,not grown,i was not ready for a world so cold
I was not prepared to make it on my own,i was not ready for what life unfolds
and it was too much too soon,i couldnt tell if what i felt was false or true
i didnt think about what im about to do,im on some this couldnt be real,this cant be true
E-Dot(verse)
i was too young,but these my people so thats okay though
look how they cooking it up,id sit and watch they cake grow
watching robbie in the corner,he there snortin yayo
and everybody acting cool like that right theres okay though
so i walked over to him,and was like yo hey bro
waht the fuck are you doing,get away from the table
he like this aint nothing but a little bit of yayo
i got it covered,plus i make the profits from sales
he actin like he hadnt heard not one them tales
there goes his brother,knocked him and they took him to jail
there goes another,this hustle here is destined to fail
convicted but last i heard he tried to appeal
and eric he gone,he willin bustin his steel off at the popo
there are the trials and tribulations of kids tryna act like grown folks
Darp(Chorus)
I found out that i was too young,not grown,i was not ready for a world so cold
I was not prepared to make it on my own,i was not ready for what life unfolds
and it was too much too soon,i couldnt tell if what i felt was false or true
i didnt think about what im about to do,im on some this couldnt be real,this cant be true
Ill Bill
i was "too young to fall in love" like motley crue,too young.i pulled a gun and i shot this dude
it was over a girl-foolish pride-i was crucified,just another youthful juvenile doing time
forgive me mama-i never meant for you to cry,went to trial,i was sent to do a 2 to 5
handcuffed in back of a bus-40 of us-life as a shorty couldnt be so rough
and i aint no punk-here you fix ya face or a get ya face fixed
face lift-predicate cutter-you get your face ripped,they'll bust your shit wide open and make you leak
you better chill out before i birthcake ya feet-not a bad guy,i dont wanna catch mad time
so i chill with work release in the back of my mind,but the guy that i popped wasnt dead
hes locked up in here now too and wants revenge-i got shanked in my bed
Darp(Chorus)
I found out that i was too young,not grown,i was not ready for a world so cold
I was not prepared to make it on my own,i was not ready for what life unfolds
and it was too much too soon,i couldnt tell if what i felt was false or true
i didnt think about what im about to do,im on some this couldnt be real,this cant be true
Slaine
i was too young to say no,too young to yell nope,old enough to taste anger
but not enough to smell hope,13 years old my beloved mother had just passed
i started puffin grass,drinkin 40s cuttin class,my father always used to beat on me
and bust my ass repeatedly,i couldnt wait to get a change of scenery
i never had a dream,nobody believed in me
these mean streets are the only thing i seem to be,im 16 being free chewin vikes and perks
caught an oc habit quick,and my life got worse,cause now im sick unless i get a pill
so my head is filled with thiefs schemes,my tolerance i let it build
but when street dreams and quick cash is difficult,you find you get the same high cheap from sniffin dope
now im shootin with the neighborhood people,nobody could save me from evil,im a slave to the needle
im too young
Darp(Chorus)
I found out that i was too young,not grown,i was not ready for a world so cold
I was not prepared to make it on my own,i was not ready for what life unfolds
and it was too much too soon,i couldnt tell if what i felt was false or true
i didnt think about what im about to do,im on some this couldnt be real,this cant be true
