TOO YOUNG

[Intro]
Yeah

[Verse 1]
Kick it with the best, why the jacket is a Pelle
Last era 'fore the cellys, don’t do the phony talk
Don't know much, but I know New York
But it's feelin’ like a corny motherfucker done stole her heart
Dudes high off makin' lowly art
I really come from drinkin' forties dark lonely
Everybody wan' know me, rooftop warrior
Staircase voyager, 10th Ave, 43rd
Screamin', "Somebody hear me"
New city, don't move me, smack a yuppie like it's civic duty
I was always thinkin' critically, yeah
And that shit weighed on my hеart daily, wish it didn’t ruin me
Really had to grow up in this shit, you just did a movie
That’s why I always said, "Fuck your script"
Y'all go slummin’ with our storiеs, man, fuck your bitch
The only white boy hoopin' north of 105th
And now a critic in the game got some shit that he gon' say
'Cause he feelin’ all the shame from the fact that he ain't real
Connecticut prep stars is givin' out the deals
Bookin' all the shows, tellin' me I won't appeal
But where the fuck was you when I was livin' just to prove?
Closed fists on the train just stiff enough to move
Baby Craft with a lil' rhythm and some groove
Bled for this legacy, that's dividends to you

[Chorus]
Uptown, Downtown, Midtown, side
Y'all motherfuckers never been outside
Uptown, Downtown, Midtown, side
Y'all motherfuckers never lived that ride
Uptown, Downtown, Midtown, side
Y'all motherfuckers never felt that pride
Uptown, Downtown, Midtown, side
Y'all motherfuckers never lived that ride

[Verse 2]
It's been a long road, now I could write a manual quickly
To show you how to come off the bench and be a man of the city
Man, I'm out here shootin' shots, fuck who handle is pretty
My petty is polished, my flow handsome and gritty
I'm Bruce Lee in Foamposites, usually the most honest
Wasn't born but grown stylish, they would never co-sign him
So I had to own my shit
We all got stories, but you don't know mine, bitch
I promise (I'm too young)

[Chorus]
Uptown, Downtown, Midtown, side (To feel this old)
Y'all motherfuckers never been outside (I found my mind)
Uptown, Downtown, Midtown, side (I lost my soul)
Y'all motherfuckers never lived that ride (I got too high)
Uptown, Downtown, Midtown, side (Now I feel low)
Y'all motherfuckers never felt that pride (I missed my stop)
Uptown, Downtown, Midtown, side (Still paid the toll)
Y'all motherfuckers never lived that ride
