Kids Nowadays (Spoken Word)
I think the message is clear;
Problem is kids nowadays just don't care.
They have no idea the meaning of culture
Because it's society says society do.
Mirror images can be deceiving,
You too busy emulating what you see on TV,
Yea, you cool, so you think.
Your future is bright,
So smile for the cameras,
Lets call this album your mugshot portfolio.
Go head follow the fake drug dealers you see on TV.
While they on to their next gig,
You'll be facing a 25 to life prison bid.
Whether murder or drug possession
Keep on witcha bad self,
You 18, you grown, you got a college degree in pharmaceuticals.
A career criminal is what the label you.
You must like that.
Better yet you must think you're invincible.
But didn't you know, the morgues they never close, they never get crowded,
Like a CVS pharmacy, open 24/7
As a matter of fact, they welcome you and your family.
If they didn't they would be out of business.
Do me a favor, go take a good look in the mirror,
Look pass the facade and flashy money dancing in ya head,
Take a good look, are you happy with what you see?
No values, virtues or self esteem
Just half ass million dollar pipeline dreams,
Reality is, this road leaves to the cemetery or prison.
But its not too late to get it straight.
First fix ya face then pull up your pants!!!..
This reminded me so much of my kid and his friends that I just had to use this. |

This is so true… I think kids nowadays take many things for granted. It's important for the upcoming generations to really learn and appreciate their values and virtues of life. It's never to late to question what type of road you want to take, so it's important to always keep reevaluating our decisions and take a good look in the mirror about what the future beholds.
ReplyDeleteIt is sad what some kids look up to. i wasn't rich coming up but I've participated and watched Broadway plays, played the violin and performed with an orchestra, participated in a choir, ran track, was on a step team, the list goes on. Children need to participate in groups, become apart of organizations in order to see REAL people they need to look up to.
