"Be the change you want to see in the world" Ghandhi


We have created a world with no virtue
A world where words will hurt you
Words are the weapons we choose to use
Where words are able to leave a bruise
So focused on electronics
Where kids know how to twerk before they learn phonics
Girls sell their soul to the rhythm and the dance
And boys take advantage if given the chance
An era where we are focused on ourselves
And what goodies we have on our shelves
Playing girls is on and commitment is out
Where being a side chick is what it’s all about
No more formal dancing only grinding
Do you see what has become blinding?
We are blinded by greed and desire
Too concerned about my new mixed-tape that is fire
Misguided by self-image and all the magazines
Where taking pictures of our drinks become a part of our routines
Hashtag selfie, Starbucks, and Uggs
Hashtag swag, so gangster, we straight thugs
This world has forgotten a day before
We spent hours doing our makeup and our contour
A day before everyone had wi-fi at all times
When kids didn’t beg for new apps instead they sang their nursery rhymes
A day when your phone battery lasted for days
Heart eyes on your Instagram pictures instead of flower bouquets
Image is everything; eyebrows on fleek
You only drank four glasses ha that’s WEAK
Where getting hammered is now cool
Where a girl’s main objective is to make the boys drool
Twerking and grinding just for fun
We’re not going home unless it’s with someone
Taking the next step isn’t uncommon anymore
Haven’t done it? Ha virgin! Done it? What a w***e?
You can’t please anyone. You’ll never be enough
They only like you when you can offer them stuff
More money, new phones, give me love
A world full of hate that we would kill an innocent dove
Where we despise you unless you’re like us
We’ll shove our thoughts down your throat please don’t make a fuss
You must think like me or else you’re wrong
You won’t go to Heaven because that’s not where you belong
Judgment after judgment it’s all we do
But as soon as someone stands out that’s what the rest of us are too
The group is blamed as a whole for their act
If you step out of line prepare to be attacked
A world so evil there’s not a known time of peace
Will this madness never cease?
Our world is broken and bent
I’m not even sure if it’s a world worth being proud to represent
We as a people have been led astray
Is there hope for a better day?
Our world is going crazy and becoming lazy
A time before this is becoming hazy
We have created a world with no grace
A world with little hope for the human race
