[verse 1: raphael saadiq]
put a young man in an average city
had a share of problems don’t you know
just the same in the city had to go
time after time, my mama told
there’s a lot of things that you know
but thеre’s a whole lot more you need to know
[pre~chorus: raphael saadiq, tony! toni! toné!]
(monеy) have your own
(friends) just for fun
(drugs) don’t indulge
(s~x) with the right person
(work) all your days
(crime) does not pay
(love) don’t apply
(live) to live you must die
[chorus: raphael saadiq, tony! toni! toné!]
ooh, and i can’t relate (i was born not to know)

[verse 2: raphael saadiq]
now since i’ve grown, i’ve learned a lot more
the city hasn’t changed a bit since
doesn’t mean i have to live like this
i still can recall what my mother told me
there was a lot of things that i knew
but the ones my mother said were true
[pre~chorus: raphael saadiq, tony! toni! toné!]

(live) now i live but i gotta die
