If you wanna drink alcohol or use marijuana, 
please wait until you're 25 or 30.
Wait until you're 25 or 30.
Booze and pot can hurt you a lot.

Maybe alcohol and pot are hot in your neighbourhood, 
but using during adolescence and young adulthood
may affect your brain development and impair your learning.
Sober living can keep your gears efficiently turning. 

If someone offers you a toke, 
you can say, "Brain damage is not a joke.
I'm waiting until I'm 25. 
I protect my brain to help me thrive."

If someone offers you wine or beer, 
you can say, "25 is not yet here.
I'm waiting a quarter of a century
before using stuff that could harm me." 

If you wanna drink alcohol or use marijuana, 
please wait until you're 25 or 30.

Booze and pot can hurt you a lot.

If you're curious about getting a buzz, 
please wait until you're 25, because 
you want a fully developed brain 
before experimenting with pot or champagne.

Your brain ain't fully developed
until you've been 25 times around the Sun. 
So please stay sober 'til your 25th birthday.
Brain damage is not any fun.

But if you choose to use booze and pot, 
before 25 years around the lot, 
use them with someone who makes you feel safe and sound.
We gotta have safe spaces all around. 

Explore healthful ways to get high on life. 
Maybe art and music help you overcome strife.
Friends and comrades, come together and support. 
Maybe share stories under a blanket fort. 

If you wanna drink alcohol or use marijuana, 
please wait until you're 25 or 30.

Let's build community, so that life is more fun, 
and no one feels a need to escape from anyone. 
The point of society is to get all needs met. 
We are all one, let us never forget. 

I wish you all the best. Enjoy sobriety. 
And if missteps happen, you can start again, you see. 
Let's make a world where everyone is happy, safe, and free. 
Come together like a great, big, happy family.
