Too Young
Zeds Dead Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Girl, we're too young, don't give up on life
Don't, don't stop believin'
Girl, we're too young, don't give up on life
Don't, don't stop believin'

Look at you, art girl
You live in the art world
Attracted to boys in the hood
We pick you apart, girl
She like 'em Chief Keef
She like 'em tattooed
She like to roll leaf
She like 'em mad rude, talkin' 'bout cash rules
Takin' selfies in the mirror (woo!)
Get the angle, make it clearer (woo!)
That ain't perfect, girl, ain't no perfect world
Why we takin' life so serious?
The past is the past and it's old
The future is bright and it's bold
Bigger goals, bigger Rolls
Bigger stage, bigger shows

Girl, we're too young, don't give up on life
Don't, don't stop believin'
Girl, we're too young, don't give up on life
Don't, don't stop believin'

We grew up on fairytales
No wonder we're dreamers
Rejection, know very well
They didn't believe us
We made 'em believers
You thought you ain't need us
How you gon' stop us now?
The youth are leaders
Innovators, they can't see you 'cause they're imitators
We made a lane of our own
We ain't assimilators
Now that our house is a home
We better renovators
Color outside of the lines
Now I just demonstrate it

Girl, we're too young, don't give up on life
Don't, don't stop believin'
Girl, we're too young, don't give up on life
Don't, don't stop believin'
Girl, we're too young, don't give up on life
Don't, don't stop believin'
Girl, we're too young, don't give up on life
Don't, don't stop believin'

Don't stop believin'
Don't stop believin'
Don't stop believin'
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't stop believin'
Don't stop believin'




Don't stop believin'
Believin', believin'

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Zeds Dead's "Too Young" featuring Rivers Cuomo and Pusha T encourages the youth to keep living life to the fullest and never giving up despite facing numerous struggles and obstacles. The repetitive chorus "Girl, we're too young, don't give up on life, Don't, don't stop believin'" makes it clear that they want the listeners to continue living and believing that they can achieve their dreams. The song's opening verses narrate how a young girl lives in the art world and is attracted to boys in the hood, but is always under scrutiny and criticism by others. Pusha T's rap emphasizes how the girl likes Chief Keef, tattoos, smoking weed, and everything else that goes against societal norms. However, the artistes want everyone to understand that no one is perfect, and it is vital to stop taking life too seriously.


The second verse of "Too Young" focuses on how the youth are the leaders and innovators of the world. They have made a lane of their own and do not like to assimilate. Zeds Dead back that up by using the profession of renovators, who build and transform things, to explain how the youth are doing the same. By color outside the lines, they are creating their paths and demonstrating their capabilities to others.
