Lyrics

Chester, I almost forgot you were coming
Charles, Chester's here
Charles, don't you remember your cousin?
Uncle Roy's boy? (Maybe)
Charles
Don't mind Charles, he's shy
It's okay, it's been a while
You grown since I last seen ya, lil' man now
Mama's boy
Go on, go play
Your breakfast gon' be lunch, I'm afraid
Go play until then
Take Chester with you (I wanna stay with you)
Mama's boy
Charles, you're a big boy now
You can't always be up underneath me
It's been quite a day, I need some peace
Now go and play
It's okay
When I was your age, I was shy too
I'll stay and play with you (No one ever wants to)
Tell you what, here's a quarter for each of you
Go down to Bertha's and buy some candy (Candy)
Come on, I'll show you my favorites
Lemon drops and sugar cookies
Two cent each, three for a nickel
You in school now?
Finally, since we moved over here
You got a girlfriend yet?
No, well
There's this girl in my class
But I'm too scared to ask
She's beautiful (So kiss her)
She'll bust my mouth (A small price to pay)
Take what you want
Forget tomorrow, live for today
Let God sort it out
That's what my daddy say ('Cause he a man)
What 'bout you? Are you a man too?
We 'bout to find out
Come on in, lil' hooligans
You better have money too
Don't be wastin' my time
We got money
What you want then?
Three sugar cookies and two lemon drops
How 'bout you?
I'm lookin'
You decide?
Changed my mind, I'm on a diet
I told you not to waste my time, now get
[Instrumental]
Taste sweeter stolen, don't you agree?
It don't feel right, it ain't me
I'm a good boy, not a thief
Loosen up, mama's boy
Only pussies ask permission
We young and free
Let's play a game where we can fly
Rules don't apply to you and I
We young and free
The world is ours and life is sweet
Like stolen candy, like fruit from a neighbor's tree
It don't feel right, it ain't me
It's time to grow up, mama's boy
Be a man, take what you want
Even a kiss is sweeter stolen, try and see
She'll bust my teeth
A small price to pay
To hell with tomorrow, live for today
Make your own rules, and you'll always know how to play
That's the secret to life
Let's play a game where we can fly
Rules don't apply to you and I
We young and free
The world is ours and life is sweet
Like stolen candy, like fruit from a neighbor's tree
Ours for the taking
Rules are for breaking
No rules apply for you and me
[Instrumental]
What you boys been up to?
Lookin' like foxes in a pen
I'm teachin' Charles to be a man
'Bout time
His brothers' rough ways ain't rubbed off on him
Give me a few days, I'll set him straight
Ain't that right?
Show your mama you a man
What's for lunch, woman?
Ooh, your ass on a plate if you talk to me like that again
Since you two gettin' 'long so good, you can share a room
Nathan can sleep with his brother
That's fine, ain't that right, lil' man? (That's right, we got plans)
