BJ The Chicago Kid - To Be Young lyrics

[Verse 1: Fashawn] Follow me as I creep through the night on a GT bike This whirlwind that I call my life Peep the crime, the d**, the dimes, the dubs Round 1999, when it was me Tyrique, Jamar, Malik Young juveniles runnin' through the halls with heat Before we developed a love for larceny Parents on ice so we all starve for weeks So one night Malik got his hand on a gun All you heard was "Blam Blam" when it sung Caught a body where the news cameras won't come Still chewing candy, dammit we was young And I can still smell the stench of the Body bag by the project bench Tyrique and Malik, I ain't seen 'em since Jamar, too fat, couldn't hop over the fence, my n***a [Hook: BJ The Chicago Kid] Oh to be young, In a crazy crazy world Oh to be young, In a crazy crazy world [Verse 2: Fashawn] Awaken by the daylight once the night was lost Woke up the next morning and my bike was gone Wasn't long 'til I got another Courtesy of the upper, East side hanging with kids like Jamar Might sleep on the couch let her ice the frost Favorite TV show, Miami Vice was on n***a in the kitchen that look just like Lebron That I never seen in my life, calling my mama wife But, he ain't play for the league he slung white Tattoos in, bullet wounds was a type A felony, battery, a few strikes Thought when I grew up that's what I'd be like Nah, give 'em OE and he out cold Everyday thing in my household I'm starving and my Nikes is scuffed Life is so short it shouldn't be so rough [Hook] [Verse 3: Fashawn] Ayo journey through my adolescent hood Thing named Neesha woulda hit it if I could Gave me head dope like a real lady should Before the skateboard had a shorty on wood Had a body that was wet, too old for her brain Wondering why her clothes just don't fit the same Got appointed by a pimp named Snow Cap White boy, skinny frame but his dough fat He had the cars, the fame, the clothes, the broads The name, the j**els, the chain, the charm Whatever represented success The Bentley, the Lex, he would be in it next Found out he got n***as paying Neesha for s** Guess I was vexed cause I ain't hit it yet One night came up short, it was time to collect Next morning found her body in the back of the Jects [Hook] [Bridge: Fashawn] A crazy world (x8) [Hook]
