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 thought was false or true
I didnt think about what Im about to do
I messed up, this couldnt be real, this cant be true
I was too young but these my people so thats okay, though
I was down for anything, I would do it if they say so
Look at how theyre cooking it up, I sit and watch their cake grow
Watching Robbie in the corner, he done snorting yeyo
And everybody acting cool like that right theres okay, though
So walk over to him and Im like, Oh hey bro
What the fuck are you doing? Get away from the table
Hes like, this aint nothing but a bit of the yeyo
I got it covered plus I make the profit from sales
Hes acting like he hadnt heard not one of them tales
They threw his brother, knocked him and they took him to jail
There go another, this hustler here is destined to fail
I think it but the last I heard he tried to appeal
And Eric, he gone, he wild and busting his steel off at the po-po
These are the trials and tribulations of kids trying to act like grown folks
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 thought was false or true
I didnt think about what Im about to do
I messed up, this couldnt be real, this cant be true
I was too young to fall in love like Mötley Crüe
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 sentenced to a two-to-five
Handcuffed back of the bus, forty of us
Life as a short shouldnt be so rough
And I aint no punk here
You flinch your face and get your face fixed
Face lift, credit get cut up, you get your face ripped
Then bust your shit wide open and make you leak
You better chill out before I birthday cake your 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
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 thought was false or true
I didnt think about what Im about to do
I messed up, this couldnt be real, this cant be true
I was too young to say no, too young to yell no
Old enough to taste anger but not enough to smell hope
Thirteen years old, my beloved mother had just passed
I started puffing grass, drinking forties, cutting 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 sixteen being free, chewing vikes and percs
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 deep 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 sniffing dope
Now Im shooting with the neighbourhood people
Nobody could save me from evil, Im a slave to the needle
Im too young
(X2)
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 thought was false or true
I didnt think about what Im about to do
I messed up, this couldnt be real, this cant be true
