[Foreword: Illy]
I was told a strong heart topples kings
And that hope spring's eternal
So remember one thing
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you
Then they fight you, and then you win
My youngbloods
Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh, oh, oh
Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh, oh, oh
[Verse 1: Illy]
Now, I would never claim to have the answers
sh**, I failed as many tests as I advanced in
But I rised above
Hear the f**in' war, Simba to the lion cubs
I'm that Iron Man swiging tiger blood
Beasts repeat 'till the last straws snap
Whatcha' think, a f**in' fortune just falls in your lap?
Nah
Bring it like Freedom Fighters to the tanks
If they act up we gon' act right back like
Rebels with a cause, weather in a storm
Devil on the shoulder, heaven's at the door, so
Knock, knock, my generation's sure
You can judge it by the words or the level of applause
I ain't the only one, the real show's to come
We all waitin' for our shot, loaded guns
Spark a fire in our eyes then we run amuck
There's one love to my f**in' youngbloods like
[Hook: Ahren Stringer]
Youngbloods, run free forever
Forget the d**h that's ever nearer
Youngbloods, young hearts alike
Let the fires burn inside your eyes
We won't give up these memories
We won't go near those cemeteries
Youngbloods, young hearts alike
Let the fires burn inside your eyes
[Verse 2: Illy]
Yeah, we light it up like a firework in flight
In with the new before the bust
And that bullsh** they pushin' you to buy ain't worth the price
So we say, "f** you, we doin' this for us!"
Get it done while they "um" and "ah"
("Um" and "ah")
'Till they come apart
This sh**'s strictly for the young and the young at heart
Who in the building, f**in' guest list, the cover charge
We doin' it big while we here for the ones that aren't
A lot of people tell you what you're meant to do
But only one can decide on what's best for you: You
Me? I'm just tryin' to get the message through
It goes like, "Save the drama, spend your youth." Truth
To the sky and beyond, with the vow that I'm holding
Young mind with a song
Game-face on to the world cause it only comes once
Love to my f**in' youngbloods like
[Hook: Ahren Stringer]
Youngbloods, run free forever
Forget the d**h that's ever nearer
Youngbloods, young hearts alike
Let the fires burn inside your eyes
We won't give up these memories
We won't go near those cemeteries
Youngbloods, young hearts alike
Let the fires burn inside your eyes
[Bridge: Illy & Ahren]
Now let me hear you say
Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh, oh, oh
Now let me hear you say-ay
Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh, oh, oh
Now let me hear you say
Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh, oh, oh
Now, there's nothing but love all my youngbloods like
Four, three, two, go!
[Hook: Ahren Stringer]
Youngbloods, run free forever
Forget the d**h that's ever nearer
Youngbloods, young hearts alike
Let the fires burn inside your eyes
We won't give up these memories
We won't go near those cemeteries
Youngbloods, young hearts alike
Let the fires burn inside your eyes
