The Upcoming Generation

So she say I don’t listen

‘Because I’m on a mission

Momma says I’m gifted trying to change the world we live in

Even when your pocket empty you can still pay attention

I have the brains; I just have to paint in the vision.

Life full of stress

With a heart cold- solid ice in my chest

I feel like we’re Castaway- having to get it on our own

We were S.O.S. and still no help came.

Every night I have many questions so I pray to God

“Can you bless me with some wings?

So I can learn to fly… away from here.”

In our life, we have to deal with evil

Just like every other day, they try to down my people

And I just want to live… We just want to live.

The pain we have let it go

But will we make it to tomorrow we’ll never know.

We just want to live… I just want to live.

Stabbed in the back by the same ones you hug.

Don’t worry about the hate just retain all the plugs.

Looking forward to the future ‘cause the pain is present now

Can’t give up until its finish only need another round.

And be proud because every man must die

So I hold my chin up and my head held high

Knot of lies

Had to get my hands untied

Fought for nothing; I’m a stand-up guy

So when you stand up keep your head up high.

We struggle to compete; help you at your lowest

I’m the muscle for the weak

So they think we’re all evil

Just a bunch of lost people and they all say we’re equal

Now we finally have a chance

To put our dreams into plans; this is my thank you in advance.
