[Tune-Yards - Youth lyrics]
Don't let them tell you that
Your shit isn't brown
Listen to them long enough and
You'll begin to drown
And all the plastic-eyed 30-somethings
Trip to the mall
Disposing of their incomes buying
Chunks of the wall
You got to ask yourself the question
Is my shit not red am I dying on the inside
Taking shots to the head?
They're going to get you
They'll get you it's' already done
Chalk it up to all the
Time you wasted having fun
Youth the youth knows the truth
They're chomping at the bit until
They wag a loose tooth youth
The youth is not a lie
If you never caught a rabbit then
You ain't no friend of mine
She asked her mamma, "Can I go run around?"
Her mamma said, "Sit right there and honey
Don't make a sound"
You've got to push that, and bake it
Mock it with a t
And put it in the oven for baby and me
You've got to ask yourself the question
Am I shit out of luck
Am I a have or a have not
And baby who gives a fuck?
You've got to deep that on now
From the pain you feel inside
A hundred million dollars when your
Soul up and dies
Youth the youth knows the truth
But, you bloody up their faces
Screaming words of untruth the youth
The youth is not a line
If you never caught a rabbit then
You ain't no friend of mine
Somewhere a bird is throwing
Caution to the wind
Flying to the sun which melts
Both feathers and skin
I've got my kidneys, my weak heart
The wheeze in my lungs
All the earthlings could play kickball with
My liver and my gums
You've got to ask yourself the
Question and repeat it everyday
Say what's happenin over there to
Me on the hill tear it up for the sister
Rip it up for the child
Back it up right until we both
Knockin over these till the kneecaps
The youth the youth knows the truth
But, you put us all in prison
Though you got no proof the youth
The youth is not a crime
If you never caught a rabbit then
You ain't no friend of mine
Your shit isn't brown
Listen to them long enough and
You'll begin to drown
And all the plastic-eyed 30-somethings
Trip to the mall
Disposing of their incomes buying
Chunks of the wall
You got to ask yourself the question
Is my shit not red am I dying on the inside
Taking shots to the head?
They're going to get you
They'll get you it's' already done
Chalk it up to all the
Time you wasted having fun
Youth the youth knows the truth
They're chomping at the bit until
They wag a loose tooth youth
The youth is not a lie
If you never caught a rabbit then
You ain't no friend of mine
She asked her mamma, "Can I go run around?"
Her mamma said, "Sit right there and honey
Don't make a sound"
You've got to push that, and bake it
Mock it with a t
And put it in the oven for baby and me
You've got to ask yourself the question
Am I shit out of luck
Am I a have or a have not
And baby who gives a fuck?
You've got to deep that on now
From the pain you feel inside
A hundred million dollars when your

But, you bloody up their faces
Screaming words of untruth the youth
