The World Is Yours
Macy Gray feat. Slick Rick Lyrics

Hey young world
Attention everyone, especially the younger generation

Check 1-2, check 1-2
Testing the microphone

Young world, young world
Addressing the younger generation

This track here may cause concern
This song may be alarming

For all the leaders- Why don't you listen and learn
A message for all leaders to learn from

To love this happiness, once we're strong
We should embrace and cherish happiness when we are strong

But to (society) even that's (turned wrong) Why!
Unfortunately, society has twisted this concept of happiness

Are we dumb-dummie and disrespect mommie and why!
Why are we acting foolish and disrespecting our mothers?

She put you on earth and loved you since birth and you
Our mothers brought us into this world and have loved us unconditionally

"Hey young world" "The world is yours" "Hey young world" "The world is yours" "Young world, young world" "The world is yours" "Young world, young world" "Young world, young wo-ah-ah-rld"
The world belongs to the younger generation

The world is a brainwashed kid (kid...) run wild
The world has been influenced and led astray

Young little girls, already have a child
Young girls are becoming mothers too soon

Bad company and now you've been framed (been framed)
Being in bad company can lead to being falsely accused of wrongdoing

Parents are hurtin', so hurted and ashamedp, why!
Parents are deeply hurting and ashamed, why is this happening?

Hey little kids don't follow these adults, why!
Children should not blindly follow adults

Don't be a fool, like those who ditch school, it's yours
Don't make foolish decisions, like skipping school

"Hey young world" "The world is yours" "Hey young world" "The world is yours" "Young world, young world" "The world is yours" "Young world, young world" "Young world, young wo-ah-ah-rld"
The world belongs to the younger generation

Hear that, hear that, accomplish things
Listen carefully and strive to achieve great things

You'll see your under, and the trouble life brings
You will face challenges in life

To my teens, and all my youth
A message to teenagers and young people

Get on the limited and hold rocks too
Work hard and save money

Listen, be strong and scream Whoopie-woo!
Be confident and enthusiastic

Go for yours 'cause dreams come true
Pursue your dreams because they can come true

You'll make your mommy so proud of you to and
Your mother will be very proud of you

This is the message at the ruler Rick's school
This is the message at Slick Rick's school of thought

Elders seen our wise ones grown
Older people have seen younger generations grow up

Interest in what the kid learned 'bout
Older generations are interested in what the younger generation has learned

Seen how the old spring turned out
Older generations have seen the results of their past actions

"Whaa-aa-aa-aaahh" Mm-mm-mm
Expressing emotions of sadness and regret

Knowin' you can know safeguard self
Knowing you can protect yourself

Put upon an exciting path
Set on an exciting journey

You'll see a mans pride they'll have
You will see a sense of pride and accomplishment in others

"Hey young world" "The world is yours" "Hey young world" "The world is yours" "Young world, young world" "The world is yours" "Young world, young world" "Young world, young wo-ah-ah-rld"
The world belongs to the younger generation

Don't discipline, lose soundly
Don't lose your focus and discipline

Kids that we have lose boundaries
Today's children lack boundaries and limitations

Grow into what's called curserates
Grow into negative behaviors and attitudes

Like in-de-pen-dence, words case
Using independence as an excuse for bad behavior

imprisonment death, therefore
This can lead to imprisonment and death

Not what we brought kids here for
This is not what we want for our future generations

Morales and values of sort
We need to instill morals and values

Should be the first thing in store
This should be our top priority

Believe it or not, God still shines on you
Despite everything, God still loves and watches over you

He guides you and, he watched you as you grew
God has been with you every step of the way

Stay out of trouble, when it comes in sight
Avoid trouble whenever possible

'Cause a man never loses a fight in God's sight!
A person who fights for what is right will never be defeated in God's eyes

"Hey young world" "The world is yours" "Hey young world" "The world is yours" "Young world, young world" "The world is yours" "Young world, young world" "Young world, young wo-ah-ah-rld"
The world belongs to the younger generation
