Title: Young World
Artist: Kripto

Chorus
Hey young world – life as a shorty aint easy
hey young world – sometimes you feel that your on your own
young world, young world
keep your head up look toward the sky and you’ll survive

They say life as a shorty shouldn’t be so rough
but being raised in Dade County man it be so tough
At age one three the only thing I wanted was to MC
the only thing I needed was my classmates to dig me
feelin kinda empty gotta face peer pressure
gotta get good grades gotta get my thang together
and sometimes I even wanna be a lot fresher
weigh a lot lesser – every day’s the same lecture
that’s why I grab this pen and pad to block the stress I have
lookin at the mirror extra sad
but then I think of all the things a lot of kids don’t have
like my mother, my brother and especially my dad
and thru the hard times we always tried to make it thru
that’s why my heart finds a warm place for every one of you
I learned the rights and wrongs like what a gun will do
and how to say no to drugs and never run from you
and every thing that I’m in Im # 1 to you
that’s why I got this game locked and I’m a promise too
I’ll keep it clean don’t worry mom’s – im a son to you
but every kid got his own problems too and that’s real
Yo this is for them real shorty’s out there –come on - check it out

Chorus

I remember lookin at right on posters and thinkin about fame
and dreamin about the day that the world would know my name
and I could hear the rain drops hittin the window pane
it’s like yesterday when tomorrow never came
and I still be ballin – nickname callin
with the Dreamcast nothins changed were here to stardom
now Im like it’s cool but I’m on another mission
you know Im in road shotin at Northwest Christian
get a platinum album – have it pumpin in ya system
make them school girls always keep my name mentioned
and I try to live up to my fam’s legacy
and keep it in the inner circle make extra cheese
and I prove to every body young and short I rock a party
in the tel lobby autographs signing probably
and I try to be the best Krypto can be
and every Krypto CD fans up close to me
and they can’t find no MC – Im not your average juvenile
vicous on the mic dawg and highly versatile
aint no problems cuz even though I’m just a shorty now
I’ll have ya all sayin man I love that shorty style come on
this is for them real shortys out there – check it out
