[Chorus]
Betta when ya young
Swear ya betta when ya young
Betta when ya young
Swear ya betta when ya young
Betta when ya young
Swear ya betta when ya young
Better when ya young
Swear ya betta when ya young

[Verse 1]
Ayy (Ayyy)
I'm really out here, my nigga (My nigga)
No responsibilities
Fuck the consequences
You can't tell me anything
Nah, never ask permission (Nope, no)
Only ask forgiveness (Yep, yep)
God is my witness (Woop, woop, woop, woop)
Mama say I'm oblivious, daddy think I'm oblivious
Driftin' into oblivion
Buddy back on his bullshit again (Ooh, I'm tellin')
Oh, how I wish I was a kid again
Got a hard time with listenin'
Same problem with discipline
Still gotta get my dividends
It's so much adrenaline
Head is spinnin', I know I'ma sin again

[Chorus]
Betta when ya young
Swear ya betta when ya young
Betta when ya young
Swear ya betta when ya young

[Bridge]
It's a fine line between love and hate, ya see
Came way too late, and baby, I'm on it
Yeah, it's a fine line between love and hate, ya see
Came way too late, and baby, I'm on it
Can't worry 'bout what another nigga think
Now that's liberation, and baby, I want it
Baby, I want it
Can't worry 'bout what another nigga think
Now that's liberation, and baby, I want it
(Lemme hear, lemme hear, lemme hear those)

[Chorus]
Betta when ya young
Swear ya betta when ya young
Betta when ya young
Swear ya betta when ya young

[Outro]
Forever young, yeah
Forever young, yeah
Forever young, yeah
Forever young, yeah
Forever young, yeah
Forever young, yeah
Forever young, yeah
Forever young, yeah
Forever young, yeah
Forever young, yeah
Forever young, yeah
Forever young, yeah
Betta when ya young
Forever young, yeah
Forever young, yeah
Forever young, yeah
Swear ya betta when ya young
