Youngin’

[Intro: Kamban]
Yeah
Haha
Look
'Bout to go in

[Verse 1: Kamban]
I got a lot to say (Yeah)
Should'a been locked away (Man)
I should'a lost the faith (Faith)
How did I not decay? (Sheesh!)
Shoulda been DOA (Ayy)
Could'a been Austin's Grave (Grave)
Somehow, we okay (Okay)
And that's my Father's grace (Woo)
'Cause my dad be gone for days (Days)
Should'a been on his grave (Grave)
That was a darker phase (Man)
We should'a not have made it, uh
That's when I'd gone astray ('Stray)
That's when I caught a jag (Jag)
That's when I found the blood (Blood)
Cover my awful stains (Woo)
Now, I got the freedom to brag (Brag), give hope to fiends on the fray (Fray)
You gon' believe and get saved (Uh)
He on the case, beacon when we on the stage
From New York to Cle' to L.A. (bye)
Free all the slaves, we out the steel, ball and chains
You 'bout to see all the saints (Yeah)
Lead a crusade, we're not believin' in vain
We have been sealed up in faith

[Pre-Chorus: Kamban]
When I was just a youngin' (Yeah)
Used to run around the streets
Lookin' for some trouble (Oh)
We ain't never find no peace (Peace)
I felt all the pain
I just wore it on my sleeve (Yeah)
But now, I go to war
For these souls on a beat

[Chorus: Lamar Riddick]
I was ridin' 'round, straight stuntin'
I was up to somethin', mm (Woo)
When I was a youngin' (I was a youngin')
When I was a youngin' (I was a youngin')
My momma tried to tell me, daddy tried to tell me
Everybody knew
Couldn't tell me nothin' (Couldn't tell me nothin')
'Cause I was a youngin', yeah (Couldn't tell me nothin')
But now I'm free (Woo, woo)
And I'm up-and-comin' (All the way up)
Uh-huh (All the way up)
And ain't no more trickin' me (Woo)
'Cause I ain't no youngin'
'Cause I ain't no youngin'

[Verse 2: Kamban]
I ain't gon' make a truce (Nope)
The devil gon' hate me, ooh (Haha)
'Cause we 'bout to make a wave (Yeah)
And they tryna take the youth (What?)
They want to make it cool (Man)
Get y'all to play the fool (Dang...)
But we don't believe the lies (Nope)
The price been paid in full (Woo)
And we 'bout to make a dent (Bow)
Demons gonna flee every time you give this tape a spin
Play it again
They gonna find out quick that we ain't gon' play with them (Woo)
Make no friends
Ain't no gettin' yolked up with snakes, don't play wit' sin (Uh)
They can tempt
But ain't no way they can condemn what Yahweh defends
Ooh, I got the truth
You ain't gon' stop what my God approves
Bounce right back, I'm not gon' lose
Can't go back, dawg, I got the proof (Hoo, woo)
I got the proof
Look at my life, I caught the groove
Look at my mind, that got renewed
That's all God, I got the fruit (Yeah)

[Pre-Chorus: Kamban]
When I was just a youngin' (Yeah)
Used to run around the streets
Lookin' for some trouble (Oh)
We ain't never find no peace (Peace)
I felt all the pain
I just wore it on my sleeve (Yeah)
But now, I go to war
For these souls on a beat

[Chorus: Lamar Riddick]
I was ridin' 'round, straight stuntin'
I was up to somethin', mm (Woo)
When I was a youngin' (I was a youngin')
When I was a youngin' (I was a youngin')
My momma tried to tell me, daddy tried to tell me
Everybody knew
Couldn't tell me nothin' (Couldn't tell me nothin')
'Cause I was a youngin', yeah (Couldn't tell me nothin')
But now I'm free (Woo, woo)
And I'm up-and-comin' (All the way up)
Uh-huh (All the way up)
And ain't no more trickin' me (Woo)
'Cause I ain't no youngin'
'Cause I ain't no youngin'
