The Logic Of Todays Youth 

 

Many Young People Today are in great disposition

Simply because we refuse to defer from sin 

You see its not that we don't know any better 

or that we weren't taught  

Its just that we chose to live by things that can be brought 

We chose to follow the crowd 

And do whats on tv 

Dress like the celebrities 

And talk like the people on our CDs

We try to live this Glamorous life

Thats why we buy the new mikes 

But cant pay our tithes 

And the sad part is the ones that were raised in church

Grow up and waste all grandmas prayers 

And disregard our parents hard work 

And When We find ourselves in a situation or behind bars

We want to use the excuses about how life is hard

But What we fail to see 

Is to our disbelief 

Our life compared to our elders is easy 

But we take their wisdom for granted  

We think everything is a joke 

We want to run around thinking 

The purpose of our youth is to party drink and smoke 

The shield over our eyes block our vision

we can't see how we say RIP everyday

or notice all the missing children

even when death is all around us 

we are too stubborn to accept it

or maybe its just our simple minded negligence 

see what I came to realize is we see only what we chose

we think only about what we gain

but don't contemplate what we lose

It pains our elders to see such young minds wasted

because they know the world is going to end up being what we make it

so why not make it true to our pledge

and be one nation under god

indivisible with liberty and justice for all

which means we stand together and even if we fall

we will not be down for long

and we sure wont be defeated

any battle that comes our way

the father said we will beat it

so why not follow the man that will lead you to endless promises and victories

instead of trying to fit in the crowd that leads you to destruction and felonies

But when it all hits the fan and we know theres no other way out 

thats when we run to church and pray, cry and shout

when the entire time 

we had everyone in our ears trying to guide us the right way 

Man..I cant believe the logic of our youth today
