Gang banger, ten years pass
Sneakin' smokes, skippin' class
Instead of lunch, you're packin' heat
Instead of friends, you make enemies
Winds of change are blowin' strong
What will we do when you're gone?
You're growing up too fast
Slow down or you might not last
Take a look at what you're doinYour life, you might ruin
Doin' lines and barely twelve
You've barely learned to love yourself
Instead of hope, you're full of doom
Sniffin' drugs in the girls bathroom
Winds of change are blowin' strong
What will we do when you're gone -- when you're gone?
You're growing up too fast
Slow down or you might not last
Take a look at what you're doinYour life, you might ruin
Who's to blame
For all the choices that
You make
In this world we've made
You're growing up too fast
Slow down or you might not last
Take a look at what you're doinYour life, you might ruin
You're growing up too fast
(You're growing up too fast)
You're growing up too fast
(Way too fast now)
You're growing up too fast
(You gotta slow down)
You're growing up too fast
(Way too fast)
