Save the Youth

Now I see a lot of kids today
Who'd rather get sucked into their phones
Than go outside and play

Ignore their moms
No consequence to pay
Laze the day away
Lettin' raspberries spray

They're okay
With leavin' priorities at bay
"I'll do it later,
I'll do it another day"

But that day never comes
These poor little ones
Don't know respect 'cause
Their parents have none

Their parents are lazy bums
With little income
Government checks
And welfare funds

Where did the days go
Where did they come from?
Generation 1
Life was never too fun

These kids cuss like sailors
Hell, more than me
The baddest fucking kids
That I've ever fucking seen

I'm no role model
I'm no prophet
I'm not perfect
But Y'all gotta stop it

It makes no sense
How the youth has toppled
Over and sprawled
Like a Jenga tower

These kids need to learn
That they have the power
To shape our future
Create sweets from sour

They shouldn't waste every hour
Sulkin' and poutin'
I believe in Y'all, there's no doubtin'
Y'all can climb mountains

Y'all can climb mountains
Drink from large fountains
Fountains of youth, but y'all need saving
That's the truth

That's the truth
That's the truth
That's the truth

Let's save the youth
Let's save the youth
Let's save the youth

Let's save the youth
Let's save the youth
Let's save the youth

My generation consists of pill poppers
And lean sippers
Tight jeans
And jewels that scream "drippin'!"

Y'all trippin'; killin' yourselves
For short trips
And short clips
Just to brag with

You listen to fake rappers
Then try to act like them
Y'all sell your souls
Just to have stacks like them

Explain to me
How you're still impressionable at 18
You blind motherfuckers need to see

Stay out those streets
Before you end up deceased
But you don't care
So long as you get the green

I'ma tell Y'all now
Not all is as it seems
Even the most glamorous lifestyle doesn't gleam

I'm making this verse short
'Cause Y'all should know better
Clout chasing goons online
Flashing their berrettas

Police kicking down their doors
At any given second
Then Y'all wanna complain
How the system's so oppressive

Y'all face life in prison
And still don't learn your lessons
It's no wonder Y'all don't receive any blessings

Elders try to teach you things
But Y'all don't wanna listen
Stuck in your own worlds
I'll say it again, Y'all trippin'

I'm at a point
Where I have no sympathy
This verse shouldn't exist
Y'all are as grown as me

But unfortunately
I just can't leave it be
I can be more or less ruth
I'm trying to save Y'all, and that's the truth

That's the truth
That's the truth
That's the truth

Let's save the youth
For the sake of the future
