Connecticut, USA
Back in the spring of 2011, Mark Richard, Jr. made a life changing decision; the graphic design world would not be able to solely contain his creative talents. It was at that time that his alter ego, Witty, was born. Wittyโs high energy and honest brand of hip hop has amassed a battalion of fans across multiple countries, and continents, who are dedicated to spreading his music to anyone who will listen.
Witty is known for working on a song until he believes it is perfect, much preferring to create quality masterpieces over a quantitative amount of โfreestylesโ over beats he hears on the radio. This dedication to perfection is the reason he has seen such a large amount of growth in such a small amount of time, and it's the explanation of why his fans stand so strongly behind his music.
The critics who are too lazy to truly pay attention to Wittyโs talent will just have to keep watching the rise, because the movement is just beginning.

Youth
Witty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's only just begun
Don't tell me your youth is running out
It's only just begun
I graduated Magna Cum Laude
What does that mean?
Still stuck paying Sallie Mae the next sixteen years of my life
See, I just wanna go back to playing tag and riding my bike
Damn life, now could you tell me when did you get so hard?
I remember my biggest worry were my Pokemon cards
I put a lemonade stand right at the edge of my yard
That seemed so far, but now I hear there may be life on Mars
Yo, and it seems like just yesterday
Chip was at my house saying, 'Could Mark come out to play?'
Now were both over school guess a real world on it's way
It's crazy how we go through life and take for granted each day
But hey, things change and people change
And that's just a part of life, don't believe it will stay the same
Love with everything you got and don't anticipate the pain
Because today is the day your whole world could just change
Don't tell me your youth is running out
It's only just begun
Don't tell me your youth is running out
It's only just begun
Look how much can change in a year
You gain love, you lose love
You going out to your peers
And never being relevant I think's my number one fear
So when I leave this earth I hope you all remember me here
I'm screaming, "Fuck it, I'm young!"
'Cause I'm drunk and when I'm drinking I pretend like I just give no fucks
You see, I rarely drink but stress got my cup filled up
Puke on my lunch and now the only way I look is done
Yo, since when does alcohol equal happiness?
Know a couple people started drinking ain't been happy since
When we were just kids we were never in need of substance
Used to love the party now I realize that don't mean shit
Fake friends and girls, change like nickels and dimes
This girl is telling you she loves you then changing her mind
Just make your every moment precious because soon you will find
You're buying clothes, cars, and diamonds, but you can't buy time
Don't tell me your youth is running out
It's only just begun
Don't tell me your youth is running out
It's only just begun
The lyrics to Witty's song, "Youth," are about the struggles of growing up and entering adulthood, dealing with the realities of life, and reflecting on the innocence and carefree nature of childhood. The opening lines of the song, "Don't tell me your youth is running out, It's only just begun," serves as a reminder that life is only just starting, and there's still so much to experience and enjoy. The song reflects on how life can change so quickly, with the singer acknowledging that life is hard, but also encouraging the listener to enjoy every moment and treasure the time they have.
In the first verse, Witty talks about graduating from college and being burdened with student loans, feeling like life is becoming increasingly tough. He recalls how he wishes he could go back to the simple joys of childhood, such as playing tag and riding his bike. He also reflects on how life can change so quickly, with the possibility of life existing on Mars being a new discovery. The second verse touches on how much can change in just a year, with the ups and downs of love and the fear of not being relevant. Witty speaks of the dangers of alcohol and how some people have been drinking to find happiness, though it's not a solution. He also talks about how fake friends and changing relationships can impact one's life.
Overall, the song reminds us to appreciate every moment we have, no matter how difficult life may get. It's a call to action to live in the present and enjoy every moment of our youth.

Don't tell me your youth is running out
Don't be defeatist about youth being lost
It's only just begun
Youth has a long way to go
I graduated Magna Cum Laude
I worked hard and achieved high grades at university
What does that mean?
I'm questioning the value of my achievement
Still stuck paying Sallie Mae the next sixteen years of my life
My student loan debt will follow me for a long time
And is it me or does that not seem right?
I'm wondering if the system is fair
See, I just wanna go back to playing tag and riding my bike
I miss the carefree and simple joys of childhood
Damn life, now could you tell me when did you get so hard?
I'm struggling with the difficulties of adult life
I remember my biggest worry were my Pokemon cards
My biggest concern used to be trivial and insignificant
I put a lemonade stand right at the edge of my yard
I did something small and ambitious to earn money
That seemed so far, but now I hear there may be life on Mars
My perception of the world has changed, expanding my sense of possibility
Yo, and it seems like just yesterday
Time has gone by so quickly
Chip was at my house saying, 'Could Mark come out to play?'
I reminisce about simple and wholesome childhood memories
Now were both over school guess a real world on it's way
We've grown up and are facing new challenges
It's crazy how we go through life and take for granted each day
We often don't appreciate the present moment
But hey, things change and people change
Change is inevitable for individuals and society
And that's just a part of life, don't believe it will stay the same
We shouldn't cling to the past or fear the future
Love with everything you got and don't anticipate the pain
We should love fully and without reservation
Because today is the day your whole world could just change
The present moment holds potential for transformation
Look how much can change in a year
A lot can happen in a relatively short time
You gain love, you lose love
Love is transient and can be lost
You going out to your peers
Socializing with peers is important
And never being relevant I think's my number one fear
I am afraid of not being important or noticeable to others
So when I leave this earth I hope you all remember me here
I want to be remembered after I die
I'm screaming, "Fuck it, I'm young!"
I'm embracing my youth and taking risks
'Cause I'm drunk and when I'm drinking I pretend like I just give no fucks
Alcohol can make me feel invincible or reckless
You see, I rarely drink but stress got my cup filled up
Stress can cause me to turn to alcohol as a coping mechanism
Puke on my lunch and now the only way I look is done
Drinking has negative consequences for my appearance and health
Yo, since when does alcohol equal happiness?
I'm questioning the societal assumption that drinking leads to happiness
Know a couple people started drinking ain't been happy since
I know people who started drinking and became unhappy
When we were just kids we were never in need of substance
As children, we did not rely on alcohol or drugs to cope
Used to love the party now I realize that don't mean shit
I used to enjoy partying, but now I see it has little value
Fake friends and girls, change like nickels and dimes
People can be fickle and unreliable
This girl is telling you she loves you then changing her mind
A person can make promises or commitments and then break them
Just make your every moment precious because soon you will find
We should savor and appreciate every moment
You're buying clothes, cars, and diamonds, but you can't buy time
Material possessions are not as valuable as time
