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 doin´
Your 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 doin´
Your 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 doin´
Your 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)
