Aloe Blacc - Hey Young World lyrics

[Intro] For all my shorties out there, if you've ever been discouraged. Somebody told you you can't do nothing. It's all up to you, you can be whatever you want; a doctor, a lawyer, a physician, a nurse... The world is yours [Verse 1: Fashawn] Hold on to your dreams 'til they come true Don't let them tell you what you can or can't do I know it's hard trying to make it on your own two Surviving, at the same time going to school And trying to pay tuition by washing dishes It's all part of being self-sufficient Look for a shooting star and you keep on wishing Who's to say 5 years from Now where you'll end up? CEO of your own business Or, a movie star an award winner Gotta, go for it can't be timid Nah, live out the phrase the sky's the limit Understand everything began with a vision Some hard work and a thing called Intuition That's, when you feel you're at you're lowest and you're about to collapse And let you know you're on the right track sing along [Hook: Aloe Blacc] Hey young world (Hey young world) The world is yours, the world is yours Hey young world (Hey young world) You can aim for the stars you can climb you can crawl Hey young world (Hey young world) The sky's the limit, the sky's the limit Hey young world (Hey young world) The world is yours, the world is yours [Verse 2: Aloe Blacc] I know it might sound a little bit like preaching But ain't a star in the sky that ain't worth reaching Already done caught a few and threw some back I shook them up in my fist and threw them out like craps I done seen some fools shoot them up like crack And then I watched as they're star faded out like (snap) Can you find it inside of you, the gift that God provided you And read the little note he left that says the things you gotta do To make your life a healthy example of his perfection? Ease with the breeze don't fight life's direction It's gonna be some ups and downs it's no question That the hard times you make it through teach the best lessons He who never tries never fails But if you don't ever try you're a failure, I don't know what to tell you From God's Sons to Rulers all the new schooler B-boys and girls remember it's your world [Hook] [Outro: Devoya Mayo & Aloe Blacc] Your eyes have slightly opened The sun is widely open The new day is finally here No thoughts of failure your future is clear The young world is now before you Because the old world oh it couldn't hold you You can tell others to sit back and watch it all unfold See young world you must be patient and ready And it's essential to keep on believing in you And now your eyes are widely open Your dreams are close at hand You may have felt lost once but now you're found see The old, the young, and the new, were always within you Hey young world Hey young world Hey young world Hey young world The world is yours, the world is yours
