We'Re Living In a World Today

We livin in a world today, Where its streets over home Heartaches where pain rome… Its guns before goodies, Babies before books… Boys before brothers, & family below lovers… Its sex without rubbers, More baby showers than graduation parties And more funerals than weddings… We’re blinded by lust, And trapped without trust… We’re living in a world today, Where everybody falls a victim to the street.. A bullet is the only thing they seem to meet; Everybody’s a follower, But nobody leads! We’re living in a world today, Where only parents read.. The obituary is one thing they probably Aren’t too happy to view.. But the kids who listen: Its only a few. It’s more obituaries than honor rolls And this is what we live in… Today
