Young, Rich and Dangerous

Kris Kross

I was thirteen, first on the block, makin' niggas jock
Cuz before me you never saw a shorty rock (rock)
My life did a three-sixty
Girls that didn't like me in class all of a sudden wanna fix me
(Uhh)
I went from wakin' up early catchin' a bus
To wakin' up late sittin' in something more plush
Now no longer am I in a class full of kids
I got a one on one, thought I was a day at the crib
Everyday was different I didn't quit (didn't quit)
I got four twenty-S and didn't have a permit
Now I was (Rich as I was rich)
I had whatever would please me
A Benz, half a million dollar house easy (And who loud)
I got the top of the world, brauds makin' house calls
Doin' things to me you would'nt believe, y'all
Cuz I'm this, I'm that, I'm steady shaking the spot
In the position where I can't be stopped (I'm)

Young (Young), Rich (Rich), Dangerous
(I hear voices sayin')
The world is yours, nigga, get it now
Get in the game, do yo' thing 
and don't stop until it's locked down

Young (Young), Rich (Rich), Dangerous
(I hear voices sayin')
The world is yours, nigga, get it now
Get in the game, do yo' thing 
and don't stop until it's locked down

(Well I'm) Sittin' on top of the world
Goin' from coast to coast
Plushed out pre-votes doin' more than most...
Niggas do in their own lifetime
See, since I was twelve a little shorty I've been gettin' mine
Not halfway, almost there in between
I'm talkin' 'bout this little nigga gettin' cream
Fulfillin' dreams, makin' a name for myself
Steady doin' things, learning the game gettin' wealth
I went from sittin' in the front to riding in the rear (yeah)
I got a five-bedroom yacht sittin' in Lake Le Neer
That's where, me and my crew discuss
Different ways for us to maintain in this game
And keep on kickin' up dust
Sold out shows, magazine covers (lock down)
Makin' it easier for other little shorties to rock now
It's like this (uh-huh), that's how it be (say what)
You can't predict the future without mentioning me 
(Cuz I'm)

Now my first name is Chris...A.K.A....Lenny ...with plenty
A millionaire before I reach the age of twenty
I'm surround by a crew of niggas livin' the same
Young (young) rich and dangerous and wear anything
Earrings, rings, watches full of ice, hell-a-merchandise
Hellicopter flights to little places called "Paradise"
Where I'm srrounded by three or four women
Poolside drinkin' them drinks with the umbrella in 'em
I got the money and the power livin' it grand
In this position I could hold the whole world in my hands
Shot callin', big ballin', deal makin' I'm wanted
For then they think this is nigga here I got it all in
I'm just gettin' started and I'm deep like this
Oh, I'm destined to be the next Berry Gordy of this business
Cuz I'm this, I'm that, I'm steady shaking the spot
In the position where I can't be stopped (I'm)

Young enough to make mistakes
Exposed to all forms of good and bad,
The choices of many are the right choices of few,
Rich enough to make mistakes in a catastrophe
It won't stop wit dollars. 
I'm known by millions,
Rich with knowledge and that power is dangerous,
That's where your fear starts,
You tryin' to come froom your poacket instead of your heart.
True youths come from within,
The only rich man is the one who knows the true value 
of life and death, danger is present when countenance is absent.
Let your mind be the key to unlocking the beauty in your heart
and Godliness in your soul,
Live in it or rest in it, I'm gone
