Times are real hard they say, whether referring to the past or referring to today

 

The search for air Malaysia wondering where did it go, while they’re searching forgetting the problems back home

 

But were young right got a whole life ahead, well at the rate that were going we’d better off be dead

 

All our problems still here they were never close to being solved, with so much attention all they did was evolve

 

I know one thing for sure is my generation is unlike any other, were still fighting for rights all we have is each other

 

Got teens minds mixed up leaving important things ignored, no more room for slip ups that’s the shit we can’t afford

 

Just because were young doesn’t mean we cannot fight for our rights, making everyone equal both black and whites

 

What’s the difference oh a color those things we learned in pre k, still got me questioning how two simple colors cause such a problem today

 

If everyone could just pretend they were blind, no more judgment on looks a whole new state of mind

 

The world needs a hug, or a drug to unplug start to think of things different not blow change off with a shrug

 

Shed a tear for all we fear all our problems right here the same conflicts repeating year after year

 

Its time for a change for our children to know that these problems we face will soon be referred to as problems from times long ago.
