Young and Embarrassed

What is that?" "No, that ain't for us"

"Sure, Little Mac, you shoulda caught the bus"

You see now? ("Bye") How would you feel?

Sometimes, it just gets unreal

But for now, I just gotta hack it

'Cause Little Mac is just young and embarrassed

(Young and embarrassed) That's the name of the game

(Young and embarrassed) When you're young, you're shame

(Young and embarrassed) My parents are ill

(Young and embarrassed) Man, they oughta chill

(Young and embarrassed) That's the name of the game

(Young and embarrassed) When you're young, you're shame

(Young and embarrassed) I'm a problem kid

So listen to the kinda stuff my parents did

I was by my friend's house shootin' ball

And I kept ignorin' my mother's call

(Little Mac, it's seven o'clock!)

"Aw, shut up," and I took my shot

Five minutes later, what do you know?

She came struttin' in the yard with a two-by-four

"Boy, come here, right here!"

I tried to run, but she kicked off her shoes (It's alright!)

Dropped the board, and gunned me down like Carl Lewis

I told my mama, "Wait, don't do it

Wait 'til we get home, don't whip me, mama"

She brought me back in front my friends

And got a tree branch, and started whippin'

The girls was laughin' and the boys was trippin'

But me, I just couldn't hack it

I was screamin', I was young and embarrassed

(Young and embarrassed) That's the name of the game

(Young and embarrassed) When you're young, you're shame

(Young and embarrassed) My parents are ill

(Young and embarrassed) Man, they oughta chill

(Young and embarrassed) That's the name of the game

(Young and embarrassed) When you're young, you're shame

(Young and embarrassed) I'm a problem kid

So listen to the kinda stuff my parents did

It's just a stage of life all kids go through

It ain't nothin' on earth that we can do

We gotta deal with it, so just go with the flow

But parents, sometimes you stop and show

Pity, don't embarrass your child

And then you wonder why a lot of kids are wild

We don't like gettin' embarrassed every day

So do like Little Mac and run away

Nah, man, I'm just jokin'

I hope the point that I'm tryin' to get across is soakin' in

So don't get mad, 'cause what we're goin' through, everybody has

I mean everybody, even mom and dad

But in ten years, it'll be in the past

I'm eleven, so I just gotta hack it

Peace, y'all, 'cause we're all embarrassed

(Young and embarrassed) That's the name of the game

(Young and embarrassed) When you're young, you're shame

(Young and embarrassed) I gotta deal with it

But I wish my parents would really quit it

Chill out
