Young, Wild & Free

About Young, Wild & Free

"Young, Wild & Free" is a song by American rappers Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa featuring American singer-songwriter Bruno Mars. It was released on October 11, 2011 by Atlantic Records as the lead single from the soundtrack of the film, Mac & Devin Go to High School. The track was co-written by Mars, Philip Lawrence, and Ari Levine, along with Christopher Brown, Snoop Dogg, and Wiz Khalifa. Since the track samples two other songs, "Toot It & Boot It" (2010) and "Sneakin' in the Back" (1974), songwriting credits were added for a total of seventeen. Produced by the Smeezingtons, its composition began during a Smeezingtons freestyle studio session; when progress on the song stalled, Aaron Bay-Shuck considered it a potential hit and asked them to finish it. After the song was finished, Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa were added. "Young, Wild & Free" received mixed reviews from music critics, who praised it for standing out stylistically from the rest of the soundtrack with hip-hop drums and a piano hook. Some critics praised Mars' pop-nostalgia chorus and Snoop Dogg's rap but criticized Wiz Khalifa's rap performance due to being too rough. It was commercially successful, reaching the top ten in several markets (including number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 and number six in France and Switzerland); it peaked at number two in New Zealand and number four in Australia. The single was certified six times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), five times platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) and one-time platinum by Recorded Music NZ (RMNZ). more »

Is this thin' on? Word

So what we get drunk?
So what we smoke weed?
We're just havin' fun
We don't care who sees
So what we go out? (shit, ayy let me get a lighter please)
That's how it's supposed to be ('cause you know I'm high as f*ck)
Livin' young and wild and free (keep that in there)

Uh, uh-uh
So what I keep 'em rolled up
Saggin' my pants not carin' what I show
Keep it real with my niggas
Keep it player for the hoes
And look clean don't it?
Washed it the other day, watch how you lean on it
Give me some 501's jeans on and roll joints bigger than Kin' Kong's fingers
And smoke them hoes down 'til they stingers
You a class clown and if I skip for the day I'm with you bitch smokin' grade A

You know what? It's like I'm seventeen again
Peach fuzz on my face
Lookin', on the case
Tryna find a hella taste
Oh my God, I'm on the chase
Chevy, it's gettin' kinda heavy, relevant, sellin' it
Dippin' away, time keep slippin' away
Zip in the safe, flippin' for pay
Tippin' like I'm drippin' in paint
Up front four blunts, like, "Khalifa put the weed in a J"

So what we get drunk?
So what we smoke weed?
We're just havin' fun
We don't care who sees
So what we go out?
That's how it's supposed to be
Livin' young and wild and free

Uh, and I don't even care
'Cause me and my team in here
It's gon' be some weed in the air
Tell 'em Mac

Blowin' everywhere we goin'
And now ya knowin'
When I step right up
Get my lighter so I can light up

That's how it should be done
Soon as you thinkin' you're down
Find how to turn thin's around
Now thin's are lookin' up

From the ground up
Pound up
This Taylor Gang
So turn my sound up
And mount up
And do my thang

Uh, now I'm chillin'
Fresh outta class feelin'
Like I'm on my own
And I could probably own a buildin'
Got my own car
No job, no children
Had this science project
Me and Mac killed it

T-H-C
M-A-C
D-E-V
H-D-3
High as me
This is us
We gon' fuss
And we gon' fight
And we gon' roll
And live our life

So what we get drunk?
So what we smoke weed?
We're just havin' fun
We don't care who sees
So what we go out?
That's how it's supposed to be
Livin' young and wild and free

Yeah, roll one, smoke one
When you live like this you're supposed to party
Roll one, smoke one, and we all just havin' fun
So we just, roll one, smoke one
When you live like this you're supposed to party
Roll one, smoke one, and we all just havin' fun

So what we get drunk?
So what we smoke weed?
We're just havin' fun
We don't care who sees
So what we go out (yeah)
That's how it's supposed to be (yup)
Livin' young and wild and free (young, wild)

So what? (yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)
Weed
Fun
And we don't care who sees (we don't care who sees)

And that's how it's supposed to be
Livin' young and wild and free
