born not to know (now bust this) - tony! toni! toné! lyrics
[intro: raphael saadiq, tony! toni! toné!]
here’s a story
(p*p*p*put) work, work, work, work
(p*p*p*put) work, work, work, work
(p*p*p*put) work, work, work, work
(put a young man) work, work, work
(put a young man) work, work, work
(p*p*p*put)
[verse 1: raphael saadiq]
put a young man in an average city
had a share of problems don’t you know
just the same in the city had to go
time after time, my mama told
there’s a lot of things that you know
but there’s a whole lot more you need to know?
[pre*chorus: raphael saadiq, tony! toni! toné!]
(money) have your own
(friends) just for fun
(drugs) don’t indulge
(s*x) with the right person
(work) all your days
(crime) does not pay
(love) don’t apply
(live) to live you must die
[chorus: tony! toni! toné!]
i was born not to know
i was born not to know
[verse 2: raphael saadiq]
now since i’ve grown, i’ve learned a lot more
the city hasn’t changed a bit since
doesn’t mean i havе to live like this
i still can recall what my mothеr told me
there was a lot of things that i knew
but the ones my mother said were true
[pre*chorus: raphael saadiq, tony! toni! toné!]
(money) had your own
(friends) we had fun
(drugs) didn’t indulge
(s*x) had the right person
(work) all my days
(crime) did not pay
(love) did not apply
(live) now i live but i gotta die
[interlude: tony! toni! toné!]
(“you know, i first met god in 1929”)
(money)
(friends)
(drugs)
(s*x)
(work)
(crime)
(love)
(live)
[chorus: raphael saadiq, tony! toni! toné!]
and i can’t relate ’cause i was born not to know
i ain’t gonna make a fuss, i like the back of the bus
’cause i was born not to know
[interlude]
“yo, if leroy sn*tched a purse at twelve o’clock, was running down east 14th at thirty*five miles an hour with the police behind him at forty*five miles an hour, how many years would he get?”
“i really don’t know”
[outro: tony! toni! toné!]
i was born not to know
i was born not to know
i was born not to know
i was born not to know
i was born not to know
