Born Not To Know - Tony! Toni! Toné!

Put all your men in a average city

Had a share of problems don’t you know

Just the same the city had too

Time after time, my mama told

There’s a lotta things that you know

But there’s a whole lot more you need to know?

Money, have your own

Friends, just for fun

Drugs, don’t indulge

Sex with the right person?

Work all your day

Crime does not pay

Love don’t apply

Live, to live you must die?

And 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 know

Now 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 this

I still can recall what my mother told me

There was a lot of things that I knew

But the ones my mother said were true

Money, had my own

Friends, we had fun

Drugs, didn’t indulge

Sex, had the right person

Work, all my day

Crime did not pay

Love did not apply

Live, now I live but I gotta die

And 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 know

I was born not to know

I was born not to know

I was born not to know
