[Verse 1]
Back in the day, mama cooked for the block
Aunties on the porch, kids playing hop
Everybody knew when to show respect
Now they scroll too fast and forget that check
Grandma's words used to hold that weight
Now they talk back sharp, can't wait
Little feet tryna run before time
But every bloom got its own climb
[Pre-Chorus]
Slow down, baby, slow down
Let your heart stay where it's found
No rush, no race, no shame
Youth don't need a borrowed name
[Chorus]
Enjoy your youth, enjoy your youth
Don't trade your laugh for a false-proof suit
Enjoy your youth, enjoy your youth
Keep your joy, keep your roots
(Enjoy your youth)
(Enjoy your youth)
[Verse 2]
Might see the glam and want that shine
But grown too quick can blur your mind
No respect, that's a heavy coat
It sinks real deep when you miss that note
I want my girls with their heads held high
Not chasin' trends just to feel alive
Love your days while your days still sweet
One step at a time, stay on your feet
[Pre-Chorus]
Slow down, baby, slow down
Let your heart stay where it's found
No rush, no race, no shame
Youth don't need a borrowed name
[Chorus]
Enjoy your youth, enjoy your youth
Don't trade your laugh for a false-proof suit
Enjoy your youth, enjoy your youth
Keep your joy, keep your roots
(Enjoy your youth)
(Enjoy your youth)
[Bridge]
When the world gets loud, stay true
Not everybody mad you, mad at you
Grow, but don't let go
Some things you learn when you move slow
[Final Chorus]
Enjoy your youth, enjoy your youth
Don't trade your laugh for a false-proof suit
Enjoy your youth, enjoy your youth
Keep your joy, keep your roots
(Enjoy your youth)
(Enjoy your youth)
