Put all your men in a average city
Had a share of problems don't you know
Just the same the city had tooTime after time, my mama told
There's a lotta things that you know
But there's a whole lot more you need to knowMoney, have your own
Friends, just for fun
Drugs, don't indulge
Sex with the right personWork all your day
Crime does not pay
Love don't apply
Live, to live you must dieAnd 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 knowNow 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 thisI still can recall what my mother told me
There was a lot of things that I knew
But the ones my mother said were trueMoney, had my own
Friends, we had fun
Drugs, didn't indulge
Sex, had the right personWork, all my day
Crime did not pay
Love did not apply
Live, now I live but I gotta dieAnd 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 knowI was born not to know
I was born not to know
I was born not to know
