Version 1 of the lyrics

At 17 years old I started runnin' the streets

[ Tra-Knox - Singing :]

Man, I had some fun in the streets

"Ew, ew, ew, ew, ewww"

* Sang in Intro, and picks up for the last two lines of Verse 1 *

[ Verse 1 : Will Smith ]

Yo, at 17 years old I started runnin' the streets

Man I had some fun in the streets

11, 12, sometimes 1 in the streets

By 18, I started seeing the sun in the streets

By 18, I started seein' the sun in the streets

My mom started trippin' on me like "Will, you

My mom started trippin' on me

gotta choose your friends carefully

Like Will, you gotta choose your friends carefully

Like I trust you, but please call me

Like, I trust you but please call me

And when you have kids of your own, you'll see

And when you have kids of your own you'll see

I'm gonna be here when all your friends won't"

I'ma be here when all your friends won't

But I was busy hollerin' "Parents Just Don't Understand"

Now here I am with the family, runnin' the lines she ran on me

But I was busy hollerin' parents just don't understand

We ain't always see eye to eye, but Ma on your principles now I rely

Now here I am with a family runnin' the lines she ran on me

You got me tastin' my toes

We ain't always see eye to eye but Mom, on your principles

Now I rely, you got me tastin' my toes

[ Chorus - Tra-Knox (Will Smith) ]

You go to trust in moms (haha) all day long (haha, haha)

I didn't know

I didn't know (didn't know but)

Momma told me don't go down that road

When my momma told me, don't go down that road (she told me don't go)

But I gotta go where I gotta go

Don't go down that road, (but, but) but I gotta go,

So take your fool telling me I told you so

go (gotta go), where I gotta go, go

So thank you for not tellin' me I told you so

I used to roll hard with this dude named Chuck

Rollin' in my car with this dude named Chuck

* Singing: "ew, ew, ew," goes from last line of

My Mommy really liked this dude named Chuck

chorus, into 1st line of Verse 2

She thought he was really and polite, Chuck

[ Verse 2: Will Smith (Tra-Knox) ]

And me used to roll out faithfully, inevitably

I used to roll hard with this dude named Chuck (Chuck)

You see Chuck, you gon' see me

Rollin' in my car, with this dude named Chuck (Chuck)

Like we on TV, the bosom is the buddy

My mom ain't really liked this dude named Chuck (Chuck)

Share food, clothes, and money, and hunnies

She thought that he was really impolite (Chuck)

Chuck and me used to roll out faithfully

Flock like we was players from the NBA

Inevitably you see Chuck, you gonna see me

Still hurts to recall the day I heard him say

Like we on TV, the bosomest of buddies

To this girl named Mya

Share food, clothes, and money (ewww)

I was diggin', he told her I was a liar

And hunnies (ewww) flocked like we was players from the NBA

Still hurts to recall the day, I heard him say

Told her I be cheatin' on women

To this girl named Mya, I was datin'

He told her I was a liar, joker hatin'

He told her I be cheatin' on women

Breakin' hearts and grinnin'

He told her her life would be better with him in it

He told her, her life would be better with him in it

That's the friend I chose

I didn't know

[ Chorus - Tra-Knox (Will Smith) ]

Momma told me don't go down that road

You go to trust in moms all day long (ew)

But I gotta go where I gotta go

I didn't know (but)

So take your fool telling me I told you so

When my momma told me, don't go (uh) down

that road (she told me don't go)

Momma used to say, "Take your time young man

Don't go, don't go down that road, (but, but) but I

I ain't always gonna be there , holding your hand

gotta go, go, where I gotta go, go (uh)

But, you'll always know exactly where I am

So thank you for not tellin' me I told you

And when I'm not there in my place the Lord will stand

so (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

* Solo of Tra-Knox singing: "ew, ew, ew" is

mixed together with the beat *

[ Verse 3 - Will Smith ]

Momma used to say, "take your time young man

I ain't gonna always be there holdin' your hand

But you'll always know exactly where I am

And when I'm not there, in my place, the lord will stand

Will study the world, only the wise succeed

And when you're eyes tell lies your heart should lead

And when your eyes tell lies, your heart should leave

You're gonna do dirt we all gon' sin

You gonna do dirt, we all gonna sin

But when you realize it, apologize and never do it again

But when you realize and apologize, and never do it again"

Ma told me, "don't rush to get old

Mom told me don't rush to get old

If you got youth, the truth clutched in your hold

If you got youth, truth clutched in your hold

It's like possibilities too much to behold

An emotional shield from life's blustery cold

An emotional shield, from life's blustery cold"

Ma all the stuff was hard, you said was hard

Childish disregard, because my head was hard

Now no question to pose

Mom, all this stuff was hard you said was hard

[ Chorus - Tra Knox ]

Childish disregard 'cuz my head was hard

Now, no question opposed, ugh

I didn't know

Momma told me don't go down that road

But I gotta go where I gotta go

So take your fool telling me I told you so
