2nd and 3rd generations in a state of confusion
All brought on by social intrusion
Making them think it's real but it's all an illusion
And because of it they have no moral constitution
They think money is the solution to all of their ills
They think cause they clocking hundreds and thousands of dollar bills
Ain't got no solid foundation but a bunch of frills
They don't know what to do next, cause gone are the thrills
Gone is their innocence they play at being mature
Misbehavior and deception is what they procure
Maybe it's because at so young they must endure
The senselessness this world spits at 'em for sure
What are we sharing, what do the kids daily see
Yup! You got it madamcb it's all about the money
The superficial, earthly riches, a fake reality
It's in their vision, what they strive, and live for honey
I got mad love for 'em though, they got my heart
They can't know where they going if they don't know their start
We gotta educate 'em, we gotta do our part
To let 'em know they are priceless, that they are beautiful and smart
Ain't gotta shake that booty ain't gotta be profane
Ain't gotta let nobody call them outta their name
Yeah they can be for real, they got a right to seek fame
But respect for self and others they gotta retain
So we pull them off the streets into alternative school
Teach a new way of learning where they can keep their cool
Then can't nobody judge 'em, they won't be nobody's fool
Encourage them to use their talent as the surest tool
That will make their way in life, I mean living fine, living good
For I know as a youngster I was often misunderstood
Rebuild the board-up houses in the neighborhood
Have the government fund us, now you know they should
Then we work on the parents, the first of the lost
Let em' know letting kids do anything they want comes with a cost
Daddy and Mama, you gotta be the boss
Cause if you don't sooner or later you the one they gonna cross
Just do the next right thing, is that too much to ask
Stop dealin' and stealin' and killin' is that such a task
Reach back to the ancestors and bring forth the past
Remember we were first and we will be the last
