Kids... Some say... Can't live with em Can't live without em, But when you're without em... What is it that they do behind your back? It seems to be all their common sense that they lack, That's a fact, A general statement, But what's the statement when they end up in the state Penn , no mission statement, Don't get me wrong, I'm all about long summer nights out, But when the lights out its gon be those demons that you gon have to cast out, No cash out, just roll bounce, See I relented the decision of a reality check, And some how it caused some personalities to step, But for them I've got nothing but respect, Nothing less, But I'm nothing less of what society thinks, But who cares what they think, Its all about what you know and that's as far as it goes In society everything goes, But what happens when your life goes? No life goals? Now you're left to pick up the pieces of a dream deferred, Somewhat different of what you preferred Drunken by the process, no conscious , Life's contest, you regain consciousness , with the hunger for self destruction eating at the back of your mind, way out of line, but in your mind that's fine, but just know if you do the crime you'll do the time but who cares? We're kids... correction, we're young adults... with no faults, alleviating the visionary of all responsibility that comes with, see when I mention that you fall stiff, but something's gotta give, see with the life we live, there ane nothing left to give, we live like we've got years to live, but we expire on the date he gives, But that's not all he gives, And of course that falls as a false conviction to young ears, Only truely believing in our peers, Leaning to our own understanding and falling to a whole different kind of landing, No life planning Letting our testimony evolve from a lie that we feed ourselves through false views, Watching the latest on lil Wayne news, Only following the scriptures by fews, Telling your life story by the blues, Living your life contradicting the scriptures, see baby? That's how you lose, Drinking booze , Smoking loud and getting high on everything but good intentions, Lying all down your twitter mentions Just listen, Need I not mention, God is never mentioned, Nowadays everybody thinks its cool to get the latest kicks, But when you mention Jesus you hit a lick, Then things start to flip, And then even your friends start to dip, Stopping to gossip, never on the gospel, See that's hostile, Sipping on the verge of temptation, No limitations, Forgetting all the expectations, But we're kids, Living by the motto, Live fast to die young, But I'm tryna live right just to see the light, see we don't see the fight when grandmas up praying all night, praying and hoping that our souls get right, All she's trying to do is keep them demons outta sight, Now you're going against the one you love because you wanna fight for everything but what's right, But that's life, You just gotta make it alright before the crack of daylight, Living your life in the fast lane is gonna get you nothing but fast pain, Then shame, Plain fame, ... But we're kids popping bottles off of bottled emotions, no motions, just potions, no focus, falling hopeless becoming addicted to the conflicted, falling a victim, I guess we missed him, it was for our sins that they took him, All our generation needs is the light, no need to fight, Its all a part of life, After all... There's no playbook on what's wrong or right, I'm just hoping one day that we can see the light...
