[Verse 1]
Livin' in the streets
No one's gonna beat ya
Hangin' with the gang
The street will be your teacher
Oh yeah, uh
[Chorus]
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Youngblood, huh
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Youngblood, huh
[Verse 2]
Mama's all uptight
Your brother thinks it ain't right
They kicked you out of school
We know you ain't no fool, ooh, yeah
[Chorus]
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Youngblood, huh
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Youngblood, huh
[Verse 3]
Got to go to war
To even up the score
It's time to make a stand
And jam the pusher man
[Chorus]
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Youngblood, huh
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Youngblood, huh
[Verse 4]
Livin' in the streets
No one's gonna beat ya
You'll never be the same
'Cause now they know your name, ooh, yeah
[Chorus]
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Youngblood, huh
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Youngblood
