Put all your men in a average city
|
Had a share of problems don't you know
|
Just the same the city had too
|
|
Time after time, my mama told
|
There's a lotta things that you know
|
But there's a whole lot more you need to know?
|
|
Money, have your own
|
Friends, just for fun
|
Drugs, don't indulge
|
Sex with the right person?
|
|
Work all your day
|
Crime does not pay
|
Love don't apply
|
Live, to live you must die?
|
|
And I can't be late 'coz I was born not to know
|
Things are getting crazy, I ain't getting lazy
|
I was born not to know
|
|
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
|
|
Money, had my own
|
Friends, we had fun
|
Drugs, didn't indulge
|
Sex, had the right person
|
|
Work, all my day
|
Crime did not pay
|
Love did not apply
|
Live, now I live but I gotta die
|
|
And I can't be late 'coz I was born not to know
|
I ain't gonna make a fuss, I like the back of the bus
|
'Coz I was born not to know
|
|
I was born not to know
|
I was born not to know
|
I was born not to know
|
