To The Youth of Today
Ima just keep it real,
I thought I knew who I was,
But what I thought isn't what I think
and there's several reasons as to why
because,
I am all confused,
I don't know which way is up,
I'm just loss as a boss creating a start up
Starting to think I'm gonna screw up not
hold up,
But that's all perception and external reflection,
Although my deception can lead to a misconception
So I gotta bite my tongue,
but that’s hard when there's barely any tongue to bite,
When you’re drowning in a pretend sea of happiness
and want to give up the fight
The fight to accomplish your dreams
and be what you are destined to be
which are great things
Please trust in me
She says
so I tried,
and now I cry
Everywhere I turn it's like she's looking me in the eye
I cant seem to walk past J.C Penny’s
without thinking about when our lips met for the first time
Then fast forward to the train tracks
where I was too kind
and she took advantage of that.
So now I don't want to be kind to no one
I just want to be loved,
But that's hard when a lot of people in this world are screwed up
They don't take shit seriously
Nowadays everyone goes by
Fuckboys and Bitches
When we should stand up with our head held tall and tell America
We are Men and Women
We are not what you think
We are capable of producing amazing things
if only you wouldn't let our race and age determine our strength and what we can
bring,
We will show you
I will show you
You being all the ones who tell me I wont make
it
My haters to my lovers
you all told me at one time or another
And you are wrong
To the ones who try to suppress our voices and say
“Oh here go the coloreds again”
When the right to live is our only demand
To those who abuse the “Authority” they have over us
Stop it
Because you are only a few years up in age
So you and I are pretty much the same
Don't come at me demanding respect
Unless you are willing to also give and not collect the fame
Just because we are young does not mean we are incompetent or insane
So do not let the fool be our age,
Let's get it straight,
We are Men and Women
And should be treated as such
Thats who I am
So Deal with it
