Somethin 4 da Youngsta's - Da Youngsta's, Nevelle Hodge, Edward "DJ Eddie F." Ferrell

There was a time, I used to wish I was older

So I can look over my own shoulder

When it came time for partyin

I always had to check with a guardian

You know, mom and dad

Sometimes I think about the fun I could’ve had

Swingin with my crew

I used to boo-hoo about my early curfew

If I didn’t show up, I’d be on punishment

Guess where the rest of my week will be spent

Yeah, in the house, lookin like a jerk

My boys are havin fun while I’m doin housework

I remember one time in the game

I could hear my mom callin my name

I had two strikes, workin on the third

Somebody yelled out, «Yo, Qu’ran’s a early bird!»

But I ain’t pay it no mind

Cause back then a hard head made a soft behind

My mother always said, «Don't worry 'bout a cup

It’s all a part of growin up»

But nevertheless

Like they say — mom knows best

This is a little somethin for the youngsta’s
